Welcome to yet another edition of Reflections... to say we are overwhelmed will be an understatement thank you guys for the support & camaraderie. You guys made watching the series once again special by being with us, a heartfelt thanx for that. We started DC a year after IPK started ... & the one thing that always irked me as a writer was .. why cud v have not started this earlier .. i wud've loved to write on the super Photo Shoot ... or the debacle of the guest house .. wud've loved to pen my thots on the I Hate YOU sequence after the first wedding (my fav scene of IPK till date) or the super HOT Teri Meri sequence -- seldom do v get second chances to fulfil passions .. & writing about IPK was a passion .. So a big Thank u to Star for making it possible for us to do this .. & a bigger thank you to 4 lions for giving us meat to write on.
******************************************************************
EPISODE 2 --
If one were to say that Episode 2 of IPK was one of its most Important episodes .. or was actually the base on which the foundation of IPK was errected it would not be wrong ...
Episode 2 of IPK was the blue print for all the future episodes of IPK ... & hence u had the BEST OF THE BEST at 4 lions directing this episode ... Nissar Parvez, Gul Khan & Maan Singh
The 3 pillars of the story of IPK was laid out in Episode 2 itself ... & what u saw after this in 396 episodes ... was a REFLECTION of EPISODE 2
Ok Ok .. heres how ...
The 3 pillars of IPK story ...
đA young Man ... whose sole aim in life is to PROTECT & NURTURE his sisters Life
đA young Girl ... whose sole aim in life is to PROTECT & NURTURE her "adopted" sisters life
đThe 2 met ... the young man & young woman ... She was innocent from day 1 ... but his heart for the longest time rejected her innocence.
This is the basis of IPK .. & this is what you get to see from Episode 2 of the serial ...
Will get back to the pillars a bit later ... first wanted to discuss with u guys some of the landmark scenes of this episode .. which find incredible connects in the future episodes ...
The fall in his arms :
The moment she falls in his arms .. he is lost (well no need to say anything here ..) but the did u notice how Khushi is clutching his collar ( this comes in ... in the second episode only) & when she realises this .. is when she starts to struggle in his arms ...
We all now know the significance of the collar clutch ... but while he was lost in her beauty ... She wanted to HOLD ON TO HIM .. this was a base laying shot for IPK ..
The significance of the collar clutch is ... whatever happens these 2 will find their paths back to each other .. she will HOLD ON TO HIM .. thats the reason u see KHushi go to work for Arnav ... despite circumstances .. she will always RUN TO HIM ...
Now when u sit back & connect this dot ... arent u just floored by the deep thot in this so very innocent shot.
One step forward is one step backward:
I hope u guys caught this moment on Episode 2 .. Arnav walks towards Khushi & she walks back ... a cute base for what would define their love interaction .. till Arnav will put a stop to it ..
Also did u guys notice how he caught her to him when she was running away .. heres where the base for --- " jab mein tumse baat kar raha hoon toh tum wahan se kaise jaa sakti ho"
cute bases laid for some incredibly cute romantic nok jhoks of this lovely couple ..
The breaking of the beads :
Throughout IPK uptill the second marriage atleast ... the only time Arnav compliments Khushi's beauty is during the drunk holi convo with Di & Nani ... Arnav has only ever referred to Khushi as "innocent face" chehre ki bechargi" .. one of the most famous words in IPK
Now link those words to the whole breaking the back ka dori sequence ..if u see the shots preceeding the break .. he looks into her eyes .. he reads her innocence in her eyes ... & then she reminds him of his DUTY .. a duty to his sister ... by saying what if something like this happened to ur sister .. (ofc it happened to his sister) ... & thats when he rejects her innocence .. he REJECTS WHATS IN HIS HEART ...
breaking the PEARL ki dori .. was significant of rejecting her innocence .. Pearls are considered PURE ... they r WHITE in colour .. denoting Purity .. & thats what he REJECTED ... BUT ... he let her GO after that ... Cause while rejecting the thought in his mind ... in his heart he knew she was innocent.
Now link this to ...
Khushi's dream where Arnav strings a PURE PEARL necklace on her NECK ... this comes just after his I LOVE YOU KHushi on the phone ... in her heart she knows he has accepted her innocence hence he confessed his feelings for her ...
Link this to Arnav giving Khushi a string of pearls in the Rakhi episode ... that day he brought her back to his home ... after that day ... he never doubted her innocence ... he was angry she got Shyam home .. but he never doubted her purity ... that was the significance of the "breaking the pearl Dori" in episode 2 .. which u constantly saw through the serial ..
Infact the landmark I love You Khushi on the fone was also a refection of this sequence ..
Arnav on this day chose to reject Khushi's innocence ... & the day his heart accepted her ... he did not need PROOF ... most analysts here said that there will be a terrace confrontation where in Arnav will come to know the truth about KHUSHI ... & were disappointed when that did not happen ... THIS IS WHY IT DID NOT HAPPEN ...
TO MISTRUST KHUSHI .. ARNAV HAD NO PROOF ...
HENCE TO TRUST KHUSHI ... ARNAV DID NOT NEED PROOF ...
The Truth was in his heart always ... he rejected it that day ... but on the day he said I love You .. he accepted the TRUTH ... KHUSHI was INNOCENT
The could be self immolation:
The last part of the episode 2 shows us Khushi is lighting a gas which makes one believe she is going to commit suicide ... coz she brought such embarrassment in the lives of her adopted family .. their rejection of her the ultimate blow to her bruised heart ... we all know what she did its in the next epi đ so will discuss the significance of that tomorrow with u ... but yes this was an important bit as well .. đ
Back to the Pillars of the story ...
Pillar 1:
The fashion show was the culmination of Arnav's ambition for his sister .. he now had amassed wealth which would secure his sister .. his sister was married = happy & now he had reclaimed his childhood home from where his sister was thrown out .. & his sister was abandoned ...
The celebration of all this was threatened by a chit of a girl called KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA .. who ventured in the wrong place at the wrong time ... HENCE he went out to RUIN her ...
He keeps her locked in a room for most of the night ... & then sends her home in a disheveled state ... ruination for a young unmarried girl ...
But the important thing is .. while doing this .. HE DOES HER the BIGGEST FAVOR ... he SAVES HER SISTER FROM RUIN ...
now connect this with the first marriage ...
he forces a young girl to marry him on the sly ... she faces abject ridicule her character is once again questioned on .. aspersions are cast ... BUT the IMPORTANT THING is ... while doing this ... HE DOES HER THE BIGGEST FAVOR ... HE SAVES HER FROM RUIN ...
Now if u link this to the dialog khushi tells arnav .. " aap pahle baat bigaad te hai .. phir sudharte hai" whoa so true na ...
Pillar 2:
She the young girl ... is out to save her sisters life .. the sister who is one person who never treated her as an outsider .. the one whose acceptance gave her a family ... she does as only Khushi can .. she messes up ... but in the mess up ... SHE DOES THE RIGHT THING ... Not only does she manage to SECURE HER SISTERS future by ending a wud be marriage to a greedy spineless man .. SHE paves the way for her sister to meet her RIGHTFUL DESTINY .. AKASH ..
& on the way .. if Devi Maiyya got her a tryst with her destiny .. well that was the added advantage ..
Now link this to the dailog of Aranv's ... tumko toh pata hi nahi hota ke tumhare saath kya ho raha hai"
(covered the innocence bit in breaking the dori bit .. so refer that for the third pillar)
THATS the STORY of IPK ... which was laid out in EPISODE 2 itself for us ... so many predictions & speculations were wasted .. all we had to do was watch episode 2 of IPK .. & the story was clear ...
So guys another rocking episode a wonderful re viewing of the same .. watching the episode throws light on so much that transpired on IPK .. & yes it makes a lot of sense ...
SO guys GUDBYE & CU AT THE IPKs
heres the epi link ..
