Death is one thing. Anticipating that death might happen any second is a whole other thing. Knowing what is about to happen,on a look out the whole time,waiting for that dreaded moment to come,knowing that it can happen any second..
As a viewer and as a person knowing the spoilers and the storyline beforehand itself,this was a whole other feeling! Breathlessness,anxiety,worry ,nervousness and a strange constricted feeling is what I experienced today,for Paro as her entire life became topsy turvy in just a matter of few seconds.
It was a whole out of the body experience for me! I just cant put it into words.
The whole of the episode starting from Paro leaving for her sasuraal ,I was swallowing tears. Only a girl can know how that feels,leaving one's home behind,prepared for a new life from then on,as the memories tumble one after the other and in Paro's case,there was a chance that she wouldn't even come back to see her maayka ,her feelings then,how can one describe. And moreover,she had lost her best friend ever and there wasn't even a chance to tell goodbye.heartbreaking.
As the chariot crosses borders,a whole regiment of officers along by Rudra await their arrival having had strict instructions to not let this Baraat cross the border.
Waiting in the chariot,not knowing what is about to happen are two unsuspecting souls,Paro and Varun.
Paro sees Rudra and her nightmares are back. Her face turns into a mask of horror and she puts 2 and 2.
They search all the boxes and then finally the Dulhan's luggage is only left to search and that is when the men start to get a little anxious as their secret was about to be revealed. They beg the officers to not search a woman's luggage,little do the officers know how much they care.
But what was so painful was seeing Varun beg Rudra to not search his wife's luggage,it would really be an embarrassment for her,here was genuine concern and love đ Not in a second did he believe that there were weapons or something of that sort hidden,it was just concern for Paro that was it.
But Rudra senses that their search had come to an end,his officer prepares to open it and from a signal given by the evil uncle,the shootings start and what a riot it was. Aman was shot as well right ? đ What about Varunsa ?
And then Rudra comes across Paro,as he trains his gun at her. But how could he shoot her when just some time back,he had staked his life to protect this innocent woman ? He remembered the fear in her eyes,the protective way she had clung to him,how could he remove those memories away ?
And Paro,scared beyond belief,as he was her nightmare come true,the man responsible for all the horrors of her past . She is unable to take her eyes off him,already knowing in the heart of her hearts that her end was near and she faints out of sheer shock and exhaustion.
Here she was incapacitated. And yet... he could not shoot her. Why ? He didnt know. He just couldn't.
And the BG during this entire scene! The lyrics were so apt ! Uff â¤ď¸
And this moment of weakness was going to cost him The precap ? No words at all. Seeing him being dragged like a rag doll by those vile creatures,it nearly undone me.
Phenomenal Episode. Has there ever been an episode like this on TV ? Hell no. The action sequences,the fights,the furor,the destruction,Nautanki,take a bow is all I can say.
My heart is still racing. No Kidding.
