"No man knows when his hour will come; As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them"
Hooo Rrr Aaa YYY...The Coma induced brain of Arnav Singh Raizada is showing first signs of Life and seems about to be restored in all its cranky glory !! Ohh Boy, Ohh Girl, Ohh Women.. How ardently were we wishing for the stirrings of life within that cavernous interior ...😃
The episode opens with the inhabitants of RM still at the dining table having their marathon intake of plain and untoasted bread & some stew ...Naniji expresses her disquiet at the uncharacteristic behavior of Arnav ..A disquiet which is allayed by Khushi and supported by Shyam who neatly and smoothly makes Khushi a equal accessory to his crime ...A case can be built up against Shyam but a similar suit cane be made against Khushi, Khushi who has become a fluent liar, Khushi who once again is playing with the trust of the family ..She was forgiven once by the matriarch ..will she be forgiven easily the second time too or will the Matriarch understand the compulsions of the loving heart and stand firmly by her side when karma comes debt collecting ??
The Sight of Khushi sitting all alone, abandoned , a Island amidst a ocean , bowed by her own personal anguish , unable to share her woes, unable to push the burden on other's shoulders ..A Lonely Atlantis ... which definitely tugged ur heart !!
In the Kidnappers 5 star hotel , Arnav Singh Raizada lounges in the plush surroundings when in walks the minion with the food cooked by a cordon bleu chef ..all neatly packed, covered for the hygiene conscious Arnav..The aroma of the dishes awakens the napping brains of Arnav who realizes that the temple bells and Railway Track have gone silent ..Just then The Kidnappers Don calls him up and there ensues further plotting of which Arnav becomes aware ...The Minion leaves to fulfill the instructions of his Master Skeletor while Arnav true to his blue blood disdainfully picks up the food and is about to throw it away when on his hands lands a piece of paper divulging the location of his hideout..His agile mind begins to work out the ways to seize this opportunity and turn it to his advantage ... He instinctively tries to open the door , The door remains adamantly shut * Try Khullja Sim, Sim * ..The Minion returns after his shopping expedition laden with gifts and unlocks the door , Arnav rushes back to his throne and sits on his allocated space..
Proves again that Shyam is not a great strategist but more of a plodder with a quick presence of mind ...He is a reactive kidnapper rather than a proactive one...He did not forsee the necessity of sending the message nor that family may throw a fit on the continued silence of Arnav ..he moved hastily to cover up the defects in his kidnapping strategy as he does today when he orders gifts to be sent under the name of Arnav ...again a hastily thought out scheme which may appear to lull everyone but will catch him by the tails later on ... Haste and his blind overconfidence will always be his weakness !!
Applause CV's cos u anticipated that there will be questions asked regarding the new fone of the the Kidnapper and provided a neat reason for it ...I also must applaud you for getting a decent actor for this cameo for his eyes spits sparks when he eyes Arnav n becomes subdued when Shyam calls..The only thing he has to improve on is his dialogue delivery !!
EXPLAINIYEEYA PLEEJ ... Arnav discovers the receipt n begins to bang the door .. and he spends the whole of 2 hours [ reasonable shopping time] by the door..pray tell me what was he doing there .. Did his X-ray vision fail to burn thru the door ?? was he measuring the L x B of the door n also the thickness so tht he could install it on his bedroom door and have an uninterrupted conversation with Khushi ..Or was that the time for Arnav's meditation and he spent the entire time in Yogic sleep awakening only on hearing the sound of key on the lock !! \
He knew that the Kidnapper was alone, why did he not tackle the kidnapper when he entered the room all alone holding that carton ...one uppercut and the Kidnapper would have been out cold and Arnav would have tasted freedom !!
The Kidnapper comes into the very room where Arnav is kept , unbound with freedom of movement, turns his back on Arnav and begins to pack the carton ..Arnav fakes a low sugar , The hospitable Kidnapper leaves Arnav alone , heads back to the outer room and finds a bottle of sugar while a frantic Arnav rushes here and there to find a pen ..Arnav finds it just as Kidnapper returns with his sugar ...Arnav dashes of a message to Khushi and retires to his spot again ...
I had forgotten to mention a moment in the previous scene ..The quiet swallowing of the anger, the distaste of Arnav was very well done by Barun... it was a gulp and a eyes which were shooting fires but fires dammed for now, for now is not the time for the volcano to erupt ..The lava is heating up and is bubbling when will it be unleashed ??..The other moment is when he fakes the fainting spell ..The voice all pleading while the eyes look on murderously ..too good !!
Loved the fact that muh meetha karle part ...Arnav takes it but does not use it since he never needed t ...will it play out the same way too ...Will he accept the sweetened lies of Shyam when he presents his case for defense , implicating Khushi ..Accept it but not absorb it , react to it only for him to regret the next moment as he comes to know about his Khushi from Nanhe !! .. Also an indicator that we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel ...
EXPLAINIYEEYA PLEEJ ... If I remember correctly..it was Just on Tuesday that you had spent ur valuable time and also our valuable time in expounding the virtues and powers of Telepathic conversation ...U showed us that the Telepathic lines always get connected and has no network problem , is always guaranteed a safe and secure delivery and has zero chance of the message falling on the wrong hands ...Why did not Arnav make use of this service to send the address of the location ??? ..He need not have taxed his brain on having to fiind a clue that only Khushi could decipher and would have been assured that Khushi would have received his message ...Why play the game of chance ??
In the interim there was a scene between Maami who is getting seriously worried and has vowed to make a full on investigation by herself ...In one of the earlier threads Doods had posted about ' Devil's advocate '..There was a inherent characteristic to the Devil's advocate ..that would be one of not trusting everything said by the witness unless it is corroborated by other sources or events ..Today we saw that the words of Khushi although accepted on its face value is not trusted enough ..Maami has decided to conduct her own independent enquiry ..seeing from her own eyes and she will prove to be the true DA from here on where she will rely on her own wits, her own counsel and arrive at the truth..
While in the wonderland .. Khushi and Nk are happily playing the game of detectives and have discovered to no one's surprise that the locket must be the one in which Shyam's life may be housed ..They plan to get that locket back and thanks to their friendly neighborhood jeweler manage to get a replicated chain in a span of few mins ** Arnav Kuch seekh Khushi se, u spend 3 hours to find a pen and paper while Khushi gets a chain along with Pendant done in couple of mins , Viva Woman Power !! **
Y'day I had said that I will not speak about the PAYASH cos I am still not sure about the exact need for this track .. Yes, it is obvious that a insecure Payal is trying various ways to woo Akash who is already in love with her and Buaji is only going to provide further headache and may actually distance the couple by her tricks ..but was it the whole purpose or is it a precursor to Arnav-Khushi track ...both PAYASH n Arnav-Khushi love life has run concurrently ..with the wooing gathering steam here , will it ignite the wooing in Arnav -Khushi track too ...Will Arnav be the counsel who understands Payal's motives and helps Akash to understand the reasons for his wife's actions and will Payal be that guide who will bring about a comprehension in the raging heart of Khushi by pointing out the fears residing n the other's heart ... wasn't this what Nissar was pontificating on when he said that the side characters shud bring the main leads together ...
The Best segment of the whole episode was the last part ...When I saw Khushi walking in, I was reminded of a huntress marking her quarry ..There was aversion to the man but there was no abhorrence to the deed she was about to do..The abominable act has to be done, the poisonous serpent with the tongue of Honey had to be ensnared but in the process , in her blinkered view she is not realizing that she herself is getting tightly snared in the net ..The scene reminded me about the story of belling the cat ..The rats need to survive and for that one of them must take a step that will be suicidal, which may play havoc with its life but that step is vital, essential for the greater good , Khushi has taken that risk, she has become a accomplice to Shyam, has said that she is saath saath and she is but while Shyam's cup is filled with sins, Khushi's are filled with mistakes .. While Shyam did it for greed , crossing the boundaries of humanity , Khushi has done it for love n to restore justice ...but a blot is a blot and Khushi must and will pay ...What will be the form of the payment is yet to be seen..
