Wonderful analysis as usual.
Just like all Manveer scenes these days, this episode too manages to leave me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I feel happy and elated to see the growth that I see in Manyata in each and every single episode, but on the other hand, the monya in her that I love - the jhalli-si, bachkaani girl who could win anyone's heart with just the purity of her smiles - I see slipping away. Somewhere in her quest to become Manyata she is leaving behind the girl who loved and lived life to the fullest, in all its aspects and took it just the way it came. Similarly, on the one hand, I am amazed at the changes that I see in UV in terms of him really shedding all those layers of armour that he had built around his heart to reveal a kind, genuine, down to earth guy that we always knew existed beneath that tough exterior, BUT on the other I feel dissapointed at losing out on the sharp, sexy, satirical hero that I had come to love and cherish. But I guess, I have to be patient, because like the growth of the phoenix is ugly, the growth has to be there in the both of them to create something of a truly breath-taking essence and nature. I just hope, and i genuinely hope and wish this with all my heart, that the CV's keep the original characters intact, because I for one, truly fell in love with them. A few added modifcations wouldnt go amiss - like UV using his excessively well developed political brain and challak smile for the right thing this time, rather than for his selfish reasons (although i never felt he did that before. I always felt he did that thinking that it was all for Jaigarh), or manyata givng us those glimpses of the sherni - monya at the same time transforming into manyata in the blink of an eye. But I really want them to be just the way they are and STILL fall in love. Oh what am i saying??? They already are... they just havent admitted it yet. That said, as my rant is completely over and out now, I can peacefully get back to the episode.
The first scene between UV and M was bittersweet enough that it was painful to see. UV was putting that ring in her hand with all of the love shining in his eyes while manyata was looking beautifully broken. There is no other word for it, she looked broken and ready to bolt. But when she actually took the step and saw UV look at her with the kind of deep love that only he has in his eyes for her, I could see that she was taken aback. At that moment there was no akash in between them. There was only M and UV. The scene between BR and M was amazing. BR accepts M as his daughter with all her faults and recognises his faults to her. From now on I think we will see BR supporting M through all of her thick and thins. Should she decide to be with A in the future, I think, we will see BR take a different stand to what he has been taking up until now. I think he will support her in her battle to be with A, if she should so chose to do.
UV-M-DS: one of the most amazing scenes in DEK so far. Although most of the scenes that donot have manveer in them, i tend to ff, this scene, which was quite unrelated to manveer-love per se, but more related to manveer commitment was a scene that I loved. UV acknowledges that the only reason that M agreed to be with him was because of the contract. I cannot even imagine what he must be going through. Think of it from his point of view. He has to marry her because that is his duty as the prince of jaigarh. But he knows that the girl he is marrying hates even being in the same room with him and the only reason that she is doing so is because she is forced into it because of familial pressures. Now that in and of itself would not have been so bad, but she also happens to be the same girl that he desperately loves and hates to see hurt. Ouch, now that hurts. And It requires a different kind of strength to bear the hatred of someone you love day in and day out and still maintain that poise, dignity and love that he has maintained - so hats off to him for that. 👏👏👏
M on the other hand has really given up everything that she holds dear for her family and for the estate, just like DS would want her to. She is marrying a guy that she hates and loves at the same time, and she has to uphold every single commitment taht she has made to him and their famiily. it was touching when she said that she has always had a habit of running but now no more. She will do what is right and what is expected of the true Yuvrani of Devgarh and somewhere she is realising the sacrifices that all the heirs have made while putting their own countries before them. She is truly realising the meaning of the phrase - 'uneasy lies the head that wears the crown!' Hats off to her, too. 👏👏👏
I cannot trust J. As much as the CV's want me to, by showing the good side in her, I think she wont be truely trustworthy, unless and until she finds a prince of her own. But her attitude towards M has softened, which makes me think that she will not actively try to hurt M but now her new target will be UV. Till now whatever she has done, has been because of her jealousy of M, but now it will be because of her hatred towards UV. There isnt a more dangerous foe than a woman scorned in love and I think J will be just that. She will get together with A in the future to get their combined loves but i predict that this time it will be A who will be the mastermind plotter behind it and J will be the pawn, and the very thought of it scares the hell out of me. I mean, if J was the one plotting, I can relax - her plans always and always backfire and the end result is manveer. But with A... ummm i really dont know what the end result will be. Maybe a whole lot of puke in my puke bag, thats for sure. Uggghhh! i could seriously kill him again and die a happy, satisfied girl.
A is just - wow level of crazy. I mean did you see the way he looked when Jagad told him that M was getting engaged? More proof that he is actually A. And then, did you see the way he drove? When UV used to do that, the impression he gave was of a power that was tightly controlled about to unleashed, but with A i just feel like laughing when he is driving like that. The anger looks tepid and fake at best, and I just cannot get my heart to feel even a modicum of sympathy for him the way I always did for UV. Someone mentioned in one of their posts that they cannot understand why when UV does the same things as that which A does, we find UV hot while we curse A for his behaviour. The answer is right here in front of our eyes. UV, for all that he has done, has never endangered the life of another human being (that he loves) because of his anger. He has always had a very tight control over his anger and his thoughts may be emotional and hot but his actions have always been cool and lethal. The only time he seemed to lose control was with A, and that was post extreme provocation. But A here seems to lose his control left, right and centre. And in the procees he is fine with endangering the life of his gf sitting right next to him... which, by the way, he is using just to get to M. (UV never did that. Even when he used J, he was willing to get used himself.) But i digress, as usual. This isnt what this post is all about.
The shopping scene was quite cute. But again tempered by the entry of A. It could have been so much more cuter with UV trying out clothes for M, or vice versa and M teasing him. LOL. would love to see that some day. But still i'll take those nok-jhoks of theirs over the sombre mood that they have been displaying any day of the week. (OH shit i forgot, now 4 days a week... sigh) M exprssions on seeing A were priceless. She was afraid... but for what? Shudnt she be ecstatically happy the love of her life is their right in front of her eyes. But she is scared because she feels that she has alraedy made this comitment to a guy and now she doesnt know how she will uphold it. and also i think she feels guilty taht she never truly tried to search for him like she had promised and so easily believed everyone when they said that he was dead. Awww... poor, poor girl.
The precap: quite interesting. You know Shama, when J said that if M wants to go there then she will have to find someone else to take her there, and M had that look in her eyes, what if M is going to ask UV? I know sadistic of me, but, but, but its all coming out different in my mind, with a better outcome for manveer because of that. he he. but doubt the CV's will listen to me. Or then again, the CV's love to be sadist so maybe they will. 😆
Ciao from me for now.
best of luck for your exams girl, i know ull rock.
