You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Kesar remained unwavering in her bid to send the lusting Bull to the prison, while there was a clash of generation's between GD and SS..Krishna added his two bit with the promise of murdering Shakthi then and there and burying him in the pit.Shakthi tried to play the reformed cad but Kesar refused to fall for it and requested the police to take him and make him the guest of the Govt...The Sax siblings sported a relieved smile at this happenstance..Shakthi tried to play the last card, in the process leading to the fall of house of cards but SS's steady and strong hand stopped the collapse of the cards,Playing a dirty Machiavellian trick demanded that his son should be locked in a dungeon.Shakthi is shocked by this presumed betrayal and leaves calling out for his bauji, Amma, Kesar.....SS is not finished for the day , He springs up another surprise by catching up with his son and explaining to the bail Budhi that he turned the accusing finger on him, bec he [SS] had to stay out to get him out of the prison.Shakthi understands and tells his father to hurry up and release him..SS watches his son transported to Prison..Sajjan comes quivering in anger and demands to know the whereabouts of Kesar and issues the dire threat that she will be not be allowed to stay here after packing off his son to goal...........
Yesterday the whole episode happened in the living room and with no overt movements from the characters, All grew roots [Almost the whole time ] and stayed fixated on the ground...But it did not lead to a moments boredom..The serial kept us absorbed and seated to our chair till the end.
"Take the first step, and your mind will mobilize all its forces to your aid. But the first essential is that you begin. Once the battle is startled, all that is within and without you will come to your assistance."

Kesar was all Icy anger and detachment ..KB performed this brilliantly..The way she stands all by herself, and not behind anyone nor holding on to anything proved that she has come a long way from the clinging creeper days...Her dispassionate eyes watching Shakthi's antics without any obvious reaction , her shuffling away from Shakthi and her ultimate ultimatum was superbly done.
Amma was Amma ..watching the unfolding theatrics and ready to participate..Her blind love towards Shakthi , her fierce dislike of Pratigya was well done..so was the scene when Shakthi is dragged..The beseeching look that she shoots at SS was good..it really felt that this was one mother who will stick by you as long as u stayed true to her... She reminds me of Hera !! does anyone feel the same ??
Krishna started as a Dumb doll quietly watching the unfurling situation and he began his denunciation quietly but ended it with fire ..A The way he rushes to the aid of Ghanti Dadi speaks about his innate compassion..and his statements reveal that he has not put two and two together , but implicitly believes that Shakhti was the sole perpetrator. Arhaan behl looked out of sorts initially , although his voice and tone had the power , His eyes did not support him .. But his eyes too kick started when he hit the Burying note...Side Note to Arhaan ..Stop fiddling with ur sleeves when dialogues are not given to u..it looks odd !!
Pooja as Pratigya was inadequate ..She came out as a vengeful spirit instead of being a virtuous heroine out to get the wrong doers ..do not have an expression of satisfaction when u r fighting ur opponent, have a righteous indignation , a look of anger.....in most of the scenes , she was shown slack jawed, and with vacuous expression, which does not portray the image of a strong girl !! ..It is my express request to you that you pay attention to ur acting a bit more amidst ur hectic schedule.
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another.

Shakthi ...Now what to say about him.. He was in his elements today, be it as the arrogant man confident about his invulnerability only for this illusion to be shattered and fear and panic taking its place the moment he hears Ghanti's voice was good....as if it was not enough..we also saw the depths he will go to get his way...The emotional blackmail that he tries on Kesar, trying to trap her in his word spin , and his abject groveling at her feet when he realizes that Kesar is not falling for his love vision's..his pathetic bleating seeking his father's help , His dumbfounded shock when his bauji slaps him and commands the police to take him to the prison..his loyalty , when he takes his father's blessing before leaving for jail..was quite good..
"When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must, at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your faith."
Abraham Kuyper
Ghanti Dadi ....was it her size or her voice..could not decide what was it about her that was so imposing ...The way she stares down her Son...The aura of righteous wrath emanating from her, or the feeling of helplessness when she narrates her ordeal and her decision to raise her voice against atrocities was applause worthy..
It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood. [Lat., Improbi hominis est mendacio fallere.]
Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
SS..Undoubtedly the star, the nerve and soul of yesterday's episode...not only his voice..his whole being spoke.....Be it the swagger with which he bars the Police ,His insolent stand to be brought crashing down by hearing the resounding sound of his Mother , The swift way his body contour shrinks from overbearing to cringing , His involuntary "Ma" was simply delectable to watch . ..If we saw him cowering in front of her onslaught ..we also saw how quickly he recoups his pride and indulges in starefest with his Mathari ...His reaction when Ghanti lists the omissions and commission's of Thakur household..His helpless but angry "Mathari Mathari" was super to watch ...not content with this scenes..Anupam dishes out even more rich scenes for us to savour..... The quick look he flicks when Kesar refuses to take the FIR back after pitiable pleading of Shakthi...The look of pain and anguish in his eyes when he had to turn on Shakhti , but quickly puts on an angry visage when facing the assembly...His assurance to Shakthi that he will get him out..His walking into the house and ominously inquiring about Kesar ...his anger bubbling over when he promises retribution on Kesar was just brilliant !!
P.S.
There was an attractive mobile prop too shaped in human form present in every frame [well almost]
STRAY THOUGHTS
Now what will the future hold for Kesar...she will be back at thakur's..that is for sure..will she back with her strength intact or will return all beaten and broken..So far Kesar is acting in an adrenaline rush...will she revert to form once the heady rush wears off..will she regain her fatalistic outlook and decide on pathi PArameshwar approach or will he will to fight back sustain ..She cannot stay on in Sax house for long..so what does the fate hold for Kesar ??
Shakthi..The time for Shakthi's change has not come..he is still the same old Shakthi..what will happen once he comes back..Will he stay off Aarushi [ I so wish not !!]..will he bring back Kesar and try the double game..will he use Kesar to take revenge on Pratigya..
Ghanti Dadi has opened her mouth..will she continue with her verbal voice or will she stick to metallic one...what will be her role now ?/ She cant be shown seated on the chair all the time, watching the daily drama...Will she dominate SS [Unlikely] or will SS dominate GD..
Sajjan Singh will not sit quiet..how and what form will his revenge take..will he be instrumental in getting Adarsh to prison [ thereby Adarsh becoming the victim and Sax getting the clean chit]..will the trio combine to erase Pratigya..or will he go anaconda, wait and watch for the opportune moment to strike...
What rankled was the smile exchanged between two sister's...and also Aarushi not getting arrested for the same charge that Shakthi was getting arrested to...
Despite such a heavy scene the CV's did not forget to add the light touch ...be it calling Aarushi , a snake or when Shakthi reprimands a hurrying PC who drags a strolling Shakthi..His words to the PC.."What's the hurry ? Man..U r pulling me as if you are dragging a Buffalo..
Another one was when Shakthi takes SS's blessing [where was he going, to the battle front] before climbing on to the jeep..and SS's blessing was even more funny.."Mast Raho"
