Thanks for the crooner Priya -- I was hanging on to the older one -- that reached 155 pages I guess.
Good episode yesterday. Poojas are back and Anjali is back in action... all poojas went missing after we had the huge rasam overload after the marriage. Direction is taut and the episode moved forward at good pace. Payal and Khushi even had a small interaction !
NK believes Khushi... liked your angle on the NK being the Krishna that redeems the phatee saree Draupadi - Khushi... wondering how the other Krishna ( Shyam) fits here.
Thanks for throwing light on the key -- I was stuck on the mannat ki chaabi... but did not make this link.
So we are reaching the end of the kidnapping ... wondering if this is the end of the MU... that's what we want.. or the start of more MU...hope Khushi does not go overboard in her enthusiasm to find Arnav and dig herself into a hole.

Didn't understand the last part. The finding pearl and breaking curse part.

Priya... what a brilliant "short but sweet" post! Love the different directions in which our discussions are going now. Must say a word about all our Crooner buddies too - it's a different kind of group which can combine inherent intelligence and thought process and analysis along with the "phangurl"ness of a teenager obsessed with her first crush. The collection of people who are here all manage this so well - and this is what makes Crooner special. We have the ability to go as deep as we want, along with having fun along the way! Love you all for the atmosphere we have managed to create here.

I've been waiting to write a long post since Monday's episode, and especially after Tuesday's, so please bear with me as I ramble through all my thoughts since Monday. I've particularly liked the story movement - now that our man is almost back, the story is progressing very quickly! The strength for IPKKND is especially dialogues, so when the editing and camera departments don't support them (as they do sometimes) it's frustrating. Now that's been rectified quite a bit - yesterday's Havan really was excellently shot.

On Tuesday - you are so right - Karan's reactions were so off when the Khushi-NK was on. He was better yesterday, but still can improve a lot in my opinion. I was also not such a huge NK fan in the beginning - he was a good character, who served his purpose of making Arnav jealous, but there was not much more to it than that. So now that he's back, and there is a very specific purpose to his coming back, I am a lot more interested and invested in him.

We have been getting this track in bits and pieces, and now they seem to be tying together very well. Starting from the time when Arnav went missing - the dream Khushi had with pearls & payal & the chaabi, her restlessness about Arnav, her feelings for him which are finally coming out, her incomplete sentences expressing her love for him, the I Love You, the kidnapping, the hugs, Mami and Khushi's investigation, Shyam being the kidnapper, the bloodshed, NK's support, the passport and tickets - everything is basically threading together now.

Interesting was also Anjali and Shyam's conversation. Though I hate the creep, I have always been interested in his character. There are some scenes I can't watch of his, like when he was torturing Babuji, but I loved how the contrast was brought out between him and Arnav. On the one hand, there was this man into whose arms Khushi fell when she met him for the first time, who proceeded to then ruthlessly rip her life apart and taunt her about her aukaat at every meeting. On the other hand, there was this man who saved her from goons like a hero in the first meeting, and proceeded to win over her family and help her create a living for herself in a new city. And yet, here we are today - knowing which one of them is actually the "devil" now.

Shyam reached his zenith of evil during the Diwali phase, and then when the revelation of his truth happened, somehow his character fell by the wayside, I guess to establish the love story between Arnav and Khushi strongly. His feeble attempts to kill Anjali now became our daily comedy track in a sense, but Monday's episode was like a shock to the senses to heighten our sense of thrill at the idea of the antagonist - so that the protagonist when he is back can be as powerful.

When I think about Anjali, I was thinking about Daljeet's dialogue yesterday in SBS where she said "Anjali is like Gandhiji's monkeys" - we can understand her frustration also now. Anjali has got a number of hints that Shyam is upto something - and she doesn't piece it all together, or she hasn't had to yet. That day might be coming up soon. But I really really hope that they don't go down the miscarriage route to give Anjali screen time. The dramatic possibilities are larger when the baby is actually born.

All in all, I know we have to have patience, I know we need to wait and see how it's going, but I for one, am completely on board! I can't wait to see what the CVs have in store! Bas lekin ek hi khwahish hai - some romance between Arnav & Khushi upon the man's return, please! No more misunderstandings please - just get them to pick up where they left off last time - and this time, no body doubles please!

Amazing crooner Priya...your crooners turn out to be brilliant even when you type quickly!!!

More points later...

Edited

What a brilliant week this has been!! Khushi is not wasting a single minute'she is inching towards her enemy. She knows the repercussions but she cares less for herself. All she wants is her Arnavji aur who bhi sahi salamat. NK is helping her and has understood the gravity of the situation. He has always looked up to his elder brother and now its time for him to trace him down. Like mamiji, NK is also doing this only for his Nannav Bhai. Khushi now has a stronger team. Shyaam has absolutely no clue what is in store for him😃. Khushi wants to play a game with Shyaam by trying to fool him...will she be successful? Will Shyaam be so blind that he will start believing in Khushi? Is he that dumb? I don't think so...Shyaam may play along. All Khushi wants is the address and probably this game of hers will get her just that! However, I do feel she will get into trouble and it will be Arnav who will come to her rescue.


Priya, I loved the link you made to Mahabharata. Krishna to save Draupadi during her vastraharan. Kudos girl👏 I never gave it a thought. NK was brought back only to be an eye witness to Shyaam's evil deeds. He will be the one to stand up for Khushi along with Arnav. The izzat dialogue by NK means he will play a role in stripping Shyaam of his current image.

Yes, the chumbak does refer to the magnetic powers...but of what? I feel its the terrace confrontation that is currently engrained in Arnav's brains like a magnet. Arnav ko us chumbak se nikaalna hoga...in short, replace the old scene with a much more powerful terrace confrontation. Superb work by the dialogue writers.👍🏼

I noticed how Shyaam was feeling so restless during the havan. He has a plan up his sleeve...is he getting overconfident? Has he underestimated his enemy? He wasnt interested in the Havan...he must have not asked DM to bless him because he knew this time he had everything going for him. On the other hand, Khushi, even though not part of the havan, was blessed by DM. The remaining family members were all praying for the safety...and the first person on the list was Arnav. Arnav and Khushi will be blessed even though they were not present during the havan while Shyaam, though present will be denied of any blessings😃

Why did Anjali suddenly organize the Raksha Havan? She has Arnav on top of her list!! why? Does she sense danger? If so, is she hiding it? What does she know? She doesn't know when Arnav is going to return...yet she is OK??? 😲

This lady definitely knows much more than what we are made to believe. There are way too many hints given time and again! Also, the fact that Anjali has many spies around keeps me thinking about her abilities all the time. Either the CVs have goofed up big time or they are deliberately doing this. I think its the latter and I guess we will have to wait and see.


I am so excited just thinking about the way the serial is shaping up. I don't know much about screenplay, direction, etc. All I know is if a scene touches my heart then I will watch it again. These episodes have done just that. Now Arnav should return and IPK will be back with a bang. The family needs their Arnav bitua/chottey/laad governor/Bhai/Nannav back and we need our Arnie Boy😳😳

So many locks, not enough keys..! Ah.. Love the title of the crooner and the opening quote!! You tend to come up with just the very apt one!
Deba.. although hurriedly put together, the crooner is a mindblowing one!! What key elements you have brought forward.. what subtlety!! Loving it!! 👏

Yes.. the past few episodes have been laying down the tracks for future action and drama!
I loved NK in his first appearance too! He was a friend to Khushi and a catalyst in the Arnav-Khushi relationship! Apart from the fun, he was introduced for a purpose.. to bring in the jealousy factor during the courtship days! Re-introduction of NK has been smooth and the revelation of the truth before him has also been done quite carefully! He was here again for a purpose is something I had expected! But I must admit I was not very sure of NK suddenly coming out of the blue to help Khushi in finding Arnav!
But it was handled well! I especially liked how NK reprimanded Khushi for being so impulsive and going and blurting out everything, accusing Shyamu on his face!! Khushi in turn expressing her helplessness and her state of mind.. and then she has always been impulsive! They are definitely working on smallest of details!!

NK not being easily convinced and deciding to check on Jijaji himself.. and Khushi vocally categorizing the amount or type of information she is divulging to different people.. another few details adding on to the continuity, reason and flow of the tight script! 👏

And who knew.. NK will come up with all the heavily loaded dialogues.. filler nahi fikar.. dont fikar guys! We are loving these fillers!! 😃
Chumbak nahi changul.. baatein bana rahe the..
I was having a gala time with his dialogues!! 😊
..izzat liye bina aapke joote bhi try kar liye.. was the best one!!! Without showing any disrespect, Shyamu was already tested, tried and found guilty, this time by NK! Not long before he will be revealed to all with all the due respect!

Now, the stain removal had me thinking for a while.. right before the watchful eyes of Khushi and NK, Shyamu was shown as wiping the stain away! The shoe was back to being shiny, polished and squeaky clean.. no evidence of a stain! 😳

Deba.. I love your take on the magnetic field.. I also feel the chumbak effect might be used in context with Khushi! Her own magnetic field includes both Arnav and Shyam!

Maami and Khushi bonding continues! Maami's inabilty to help became clear but she confirmed she is still very much in the game!! Waiting for her chance to jump into the frame any time!! I hope its a meaningful one, the chance! 😊

The Raksha Havan was a brilliant scene!! Such a reminder of the old days.. You are so right that the scripting and execution is back to being top notch!!

As I said before, loving all the missing elements back in the show!! Along with Devi Maiyya, Nani, Payal, Akash.. everyone! Waise, I have a feeling Masala mama is gonna mysteriously disappear soon! 😆


Now.. the two outstanding points in your post!!
First, the phatee Saree Draupadi being saved by the Nand Kishore.. I never ever thought of it.. but it seems only too significant now that the Mahabharatha has started full on between the two forces!! Afterall, the epic mahabharatha is all about.. dharma, artha, kaam, moksha!!
I do have to add that Anjali is in Gandhari's role, the blindfolded one!! 😉

The second one being, the mannat ki chaabhi.. The very key to the unfolding drama! And its in Khushi's hands now!! I hope it helps in opening the doors for her.. to reach her ocean!
Let the pearl be found, let the curse be broken!! We are waiting.. very patiently!! 😳
