WELCOME TO DIRECTOR'S CUT
Dear Fellow Viewer & Reader, welcome to yet another edition of DC, what shud i say about this episode .. ok it moved .. yea the track moved .. to where it was to move .. yea the family .. & arnav now know the Kid has diabetes .. Khushi .. is now even more psyched than before .. Arnav is so in love .. that the haze surrounding his eyes .. belies him from seeing what is really transpiring right below his nose .. hmm .. oh well just another day at IPK .. Oh .. & did u see .. Akash was around ... but the best thing in the episode was .. Arnav .. yeh .. apna Chikna arnav .. all clean shaven finally !!! ( ahem .. this time he was resembling the clean shaven kid 😉😉 ) ..
_________________________________________
As i sat to watch this episode .. i had zero expectations .. for me the execution of this track was the lowest of the low that IPK had ever hit .. i must admit ..the first viewing of Kailash Khabri .. was a fav of mine .. but today .. even Kailash Khabri failed to elicit a smile from me .. i kept .. wondering about Khushi .. is she real ?? can someone be like this .. ??
thats when some clouds cleared .. yea the execution disasters of the past few days .. was clouding my thinking .. yea i was hating the execution so much that i fell out of sync with the characters .. so .. tonite .. thot .. lets .. meet up with the characters again ..
Tonite its a simple .. IS KHUSHI FOR REAL ???
To many of us here .. career women .. probably go getters .. a lot of us .. would find a character like Khushi unreal .. cause the way she reacts to an incident .. or a thot .. is a complete roundabout bizarre way .. she becomes Over the top in her antics .. but what confused me .. she was also the woman .. who cold bloodedly .. plotted the ouster of shyam .. not once but twice ..
This dichotomy in characterisation .. tonite puzzled me .. thats when it struck me ..
If Arnav Singh Raizada .. suffers from Abandonment issues ..
Khushi Singh Raizada .. suffers from Insecurity issues .. a simple .. i dont "deserve" to be happy .. or rather .. i "cant " be happy ...
the girl Khushi .. though is today married to arnav singh raizada .. though she knows at some level .. he loves her .. but how much does she believe in this love of his .. or rather .. how much does she believe she "deserves" this love ..
This is where her insecurity crops up ...
Lets trace back .. the one thing .. which arnav ... has always drummed in her from day 1 .. has been .. her "aukaat" her "status" .. while she has vehemently fought with him on this .. but does she really believe . she is "the" woman for him .. or is the shadow of the woman .. "lavanya" to big for Khushi to overcome ..
Now if we trace back .. the first entry of Kailash Khabri .. (was wondering .. why they showed him here ?? ) .. at that point .. Khushi misjudged Arnav .. thinking he wanted to "let go" of Khushi so that he cud marry lavanya .. the woman he truly loved .. to her .. the type of woman deserving Arnav .. was a woman like Lavanya .. remember Khushi being provincial to her .. the status symbol wud be a ultra modern woman .. & this was drummed by arnav from day 1 to her .. through his "aukaat" dialogues.
When Arnav got kidnapped .. & he spoke out his true feelings to Khushi .. "I love You " on the phone .. yes she was happy at first .. yes he loved her .. but the moment the cold reality hit her .. she felt .. he said I love you to her .. which to her meant he was in trouble .. her insecure mind cudnt fathom ... the I love You as a emotional outburst .. of his true feelings for her ...
The whole .. Post kidnapping .. Anjali .. miffed with Khushi track .. & khushi leaving Arnav .. was Khushi's insecurities at play once again .. to her .. for him to be happy .. he has to have his sister happy .. she cant fathom .. that for arnav to be happy .. she is now a critical ingredient .. hence the whole i am ur wife till a certain period ...
After this was resolved by Arnav .. & she came back to him & it was time to move forward .. her insecurities rose up again .. when she was reminded .. theirs was a "radha Krishna" relation ... Now guys pause here .. i had asked u guys this question repeatedly in the past .. why did the CVs at the end of each rasam highlight the fact that this was done in the past as well .. well today we know .. it was highlighted .. to underline ... this basic character trait of Khushi's .. her insecurities .. her .. feeling if they have not done the pheras .. they r not married .. her wanting the whole .. rasam in front of all .. so that she now has legal rights over him .. cause .. for KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA .. the emotional rights that she has over Arnav .. dont seem STRONG ENUF ..
Now when u put all this in perspective .. u get this track a bit more clearly .. while .. right in the beginning .. one got the feeling that this track was about Khushi .. & finally the twist in the end will be unravelling of the conspiracy theory ... but .. today .. the whole track was a bit more clearer to me ..
yes i always felt the track will be a 3 layered approach ..
the first will be kid
the second shud be about the couple
the third shud be about the TWIST ..
( i am not predicting the track here pls .. so pls dont ask me any questions regarding the same) ..
This like any other track of IPK .. will be about .. KHUSHI ... & the KHUSHI ARNAV LOVE STORY ..
if the last track was getting Khushi the legal status as Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada .. this track will be about .. Khushi finally letting go of her insecurities .. & embracing .. their love ...
A few days back ... i had mentioned .. Arnav .. put kHushi on the pedestal of his mom .. ( i guess Bidz) asked me .. did he raise her over his sister .. my answer to that is .. Arnav is clear from day 1 .. one is his devotion .. one is his love .. now its just for the ladies to understand the same ... does he really need to place one higher or lower .. Khushi has shown unconditional love to him .. while .. to anjali he has shown unconditional love ..
Tonite .. if u concentrated on the episode .. this is what will come out strongly ... the insecure KHUSHI .. her line of questioning arnav .. was reeking of a woman .. who actually wanted her husband to come right out & say .. yea .. babe i "did" sheetal ... it was pitiful ... Arnav .. picked up on a bit of the signal .. which was her worry for the child having diabetes .. but he failed to pick up on .. why KHUSHI really "felt bad" .. ... he equated her questioning to her "jealousy" ... coz when he was insecure about his love .. he was jealous .. thats what he has equated ... now it remains to be seen if arnav will hone into the right signal .. & tune into Channel Khushi
While the episode did .. unravel the mystery that was the reason of the OTT madness shown .. we here have poked enuf fun on the whole .. khushi .. feeling that Aarav is Arnav son .. in a bizarre way .. tonite what struck me .. was why was the maker showing .. people in RM .. so casually likening the boy to Arnav .. not a single mind .. even that of Arnav .. was not running the same route as Khushi ... so what was the maker telling us .. yes this bizarre format of story telling probably was highlighting the main issue .. on Khushi .. insecurities .. only a woman .. who seriously doubts herself .. her worth .. her place in her man's life can .. can make such bizarre connections ..
Oh well .. while i understand the episodes .. it still doesnt take away from the fact .. that these are some of the worst executed episodes of IPK ... insecurity in a woman .. is a brilliant thot process of the story writer .. but .. unfortunately .. the screenplay .. & direction .. ruined one of the BEST TRACKS OF IPK till date ..
I am hoping against hope .. that the aberrations are cleared .. & we get the see the real grain from the chaffe ..
When i sat to pen this post ... it was to write a blistering post .. i read some discussions here after a long time .. how a lot of u were unhappy with the use of Rabba Vey on .. Arnav & Shee tal ..
For me .. all these episodes eversince the Shyam ouster .. have been a slow death in creativity for IPK ... but tonite .. i saw something which truly saddened me the DEATH OF PASSION ..
The scene i refer to .. is Khushi crouching in the cuppboard .. & arnav .. opening the door for her .. ... he crouches & says " HI " to her .. now if u pause here .. u will know why it was death of passion .. i was at once catapulted to the scene on mehendi day .. Arnav .. opens the door to KHushi .. & says a husky "HI" ... thats the day .. probably a million girls fell for the character called Arnav Singh Raizada ... & today .. we saw the Passion from the character Die ...
Well thats it from me tonite ...
Enjoy the episode :
