It was a hundred times better than I imagined !! I'm still speechless after the whole episode.
The cinematography,the details gone through is mind blowing. The BG music was soulful and even more beautiful and just the icing on the cake <3
Firstly the episode starts with the bus scene in which Paro's parents get killed by the firing. On their way to meeting their daughter,having bought a doll just for her,their lives are abruptly taken away from them when their bus is fired by some men (BSD officers I presume ? )
Now we know who these hands belong to 😭
Paro,a lively and bubbly child ,full of dreams and hopes,waiting eagerly for her parents to come back is shattered to find out that her parents have been snatched away from her. Why,how ? She does not know.
All she sees is the doll,her face lights up as she sees it. And then she sees her parents' still forms. And her smile is wiped out.
The shock,anguish,denial and finally acceptance as she wails for her dead parents,tore through me 😭 To watch your loved ones like that,nothing can equal that pain.
So she is now taken care of by her Maamisa and Maama..
Parallely we are shown Rudra. A scenario in 1998 is shown,where he was a school going kid. Aggressive in nature,not submissive to anyone ,which was clear from the scene where he refuses to look down as instructed by his school master,getting into a fight when a fellow classmate speaks against his father, Rudra is just a victim of the circumstances he is born in.
His hatred for beautiful women which has been so firmly imprinted in his mind,because of which his mother left him and which was reiterated to him by his father,made him the cynic that he is.
But in that rare moment,when he is left alone in the bus,he cries to himself unable to believe what happened showing how emotional he is,which he bottles it up in the coming years..
And as the two buses are shown parallel to each other,one in which Paro is and another in which Rudra is,they see each other,their very first meeting <3 They do not even know each other but she sees him crying,at his most vulnerable and unable to see another in pain,immediately to cheer him up,she throws him her most priced possession! Her doll ! He takes it in a bemused manner but smiles a bit after seeing it.
15 years hence. We see the bubbly side of Paro again ,as she runs ,free as a butterfly,amongst the golden desert sands.. Sanaya looked beautiful <3 Suddenly she sees an injured camel and starts to tend to it ,while her friend goes to get some water. She sees another person at a distance and summons him,to help her..
He alights from the camel with the glorious sun as the backdrop. Rudra Pratap Ranawat. His gun is illuminated in the sun's rays as he comes towards her. Her face turns to shock,as she takes in his stern form coming towards her,hoping that it was not true. He approaches her,surrounds her,with some kerosene (as shown in the promo 2) and turns to survey her,as she is frozen in shock.
