And I know it is a long time since I came up with a post which is not an update...but Somehow am getting the old feel back, perhaps because they the CVs who were floundering with their mindless track, have finally decided that Saraswatichandra is Govardhanram Tripathi's character...and they had better not mess with it!😳
Grand applaud for this...I was wondering how will Saraswatichandra disguise as Navinchandra because in the book atleast Kumud had a tough time deciphering the both...but The CVs stuck to realityt and brought them face to face with each other
And Ironic or a brilliant stroke, should I say!!! Kumud had chosen a pyre to destroy every memory of Saras, and it is that holy pyre itself which brought him back..it was as if the pyre was giving her back what she had sacrificed in it...
Loved loved how disturbed Kumud was..how she cant seem to concentrate and is wondering why this chaos in her mind...

And he..again the same Sanyaasi that he used to be...sat with the same faith as he used to...
And he puts the Havan Samagri and she the ghee..the two essentials of the Havana and say Swaha...

and love the play of light on his face...as the light ignites higher and takes him to the realization of who is sitting in front of him...
He couldnt have wished better...he would have wished for her..or for her happiness..and here she was ...right in front of him...and she...she would have felt as if the things she burnt in her fire somehow combined to take his form...so real was he in front of her...
Loved how Kumud goes shocked and he goes from shocked to complete sad...as if not wanting her to give the pain...he cannot believe he is sitting there...the play of emotions and the turmoil that burnt his inside and that destroyed her completely...


What an absolute devastating yet an amazingly shot scene...The symbolism ..perfect..the venue perfect...And I sort of loved how they made the decision of making them meet soon...because right now nobody could gauge Kumud's emotions..not knowing her well..
And Saras...even Kumud cannot be angry anymore...The way he completely goes from angry to being completely sorry...He doesnot even need to know whether she is happy or not...he knows...he just knows that without him..Kumud cannot exist!!! Kumud cannot be happy...and he cannot say anything..but say sorry...

I loved this frame...he doesnot know whether he is happy seeing her...relieved to find that she had not done something drastic with her life...and sad that he was meeting her like this...
And then he sees her sindoor and mangalsutra..and then sees the psycho...and realizes what has just happened..that SHE was the Daughter in law for whom the pooja is kept...and THEN he looks at the idol of Ma Durga...as if asking her what kind of test was this...

you have to give it to both of them...Kumud looks concerned ...she has seen his tears...and inspite of her anger...she realizes how heart broken he is...and my heart just broke when Saras gave that slight shake of his head...as if telling her..complaining her...Look what God again did to me..and that one nod...that one nod just defined Saras...he again became that hurt child who had lost his mother and had to live with the fact for all the years...And when that woman pokes him asking for her chance to sit, it is as if he comes back to reality and realizes that he is no more that Saras..he is Navinchandra...
Hats off to the CVs for not stretching the apology scene...for taking episodes on Saras trying to find a chance to catch Kumud alone and repenting and recounting of what happened...
It was done then and there...there could not have been a better place...better time..he was in God's shelter...he was in his comfort zone..and the poojari told them to pray to the Godess...he prayed to his own personal Godesss...the one who had given him life...and he had betrayed her...and Kumud understands...she breaks too...That is one absolutely well played scene by both of them!!

Brilliant, Heartbreaking and absolutely wonderful episodes!!!
Fulll credit to Cvs and the two awesome actors!!
On a side note
Now I know why they made him wear those tight clothes in the first phase...because now he can wear these loose clothes and we can wonder how he lost weight😆 but he has lost weight it seems..he has grown hair...and probably that is why he looks thinner!!
Though I loved this shot...Makes me wonder where did the rest of the family disappeared...or did the cameraman just shoved them back to get this frame😆

Don't do this to us SLB.
