MINDLESS WANDERINGS OF TANTHYA
The episode opens unsurprisingly with the ever crying and lamenting Saxena's..but for a change , a pleasant change at that sax senior displays a maturity which he had magnificently kept hidden so far ..he consoles the inconsolable Nainaji and as a way of cheering her reveals the wonderful surprise ..It is the Messiah's Birthday !!!! ...
Over at TN, Krishna has planned a Midnight celebration and leads a sleepy but curious Pratigya to the rendezvous ...She is entertained with crackers and to assuage the hunger after watching this extended fire works ..takes her to the electrocution point..where a chocolate cake reposes amidst tiny lamps ..Pratigya cuts it and a slice of cake is honored with the touch of Kriya ...Krishna as usual is ready to take it to the culmination and lifts her leading to the final destination ..
Morning dawns literally and figuratively in Sax household..After many days, The sax are peacefully imbibing their Ambrosia and planning the activities for the day..sax seniors are intent on visiting Pratigya and giving their blessing..But can such a happy moment be allowed without paying due obeisance to their presiding deity called Worry..Nainaji is worried on handling their loose cannon YKW .. Astonishingly,Sax displays a iron will and grimly states we shud not avoid going to see our daughter for some third person..Adarsh has finally discarded his faithful companion and taken the support of his mercurial life partner and is hobbling towards his nirvana..which is his office...
Pratigya Dresses up and is ushered into the royal hall like a Royal princess by an excited Krishna ...He tells her to take the blessings of the August body assembled in the Grand room of Thakur Mansion ..The elders happily give their Blessing laced with spicy sarcasm's and bitterness ..except for the Royal Mother GD ofcourse ...
The plebeians Sax's enter and are duly welcomed by the host ..Pratigya takes their blessing which is readily given to her ..The etiquette conscious Sax apologize for coming uninvited and their apology is waved off with due insouciance by SS with the comment, he is welcome anytime since his 2 daughters are here, sax's bitter rejoinder , They have only one Daughter .. SS gives a smirk and orders his DIL to treat them to Thakur's Hospitality ...Pratigya takes them inside..And the sax walk past their living dead Daughter...Amma duly uses this opportunity to further stoke the fire of hatred burning in YKW's heart..while Krishna heatedly tells his mother to treat her ever growing cancer..Krishna then turns his focus towards business on hand and demands a car for Pratigya from his Papa ..Papa gives a credible imitation of about to erupt volcano ...
Looks like The Cv's are beginning to wake up from their slumber.. After month's hiatus the plot has begun to inch forward ..
A lovely moment of togetherness was shown between Sax and Nainaji .Sax is behaving like a mature man given to thoughtful insights..his acting though needs to be improved ,It is amply demonstrated when he says today is Pratigya's birthday..He said it as though a DJ or VJ was making a surprise announcement ...
The Kriya moment were good too..The cake eating would have been even more realistic had Pooja really taken a bite instead of merely placing it near her teeth and making Chomping motion's ..we also heard the KRIYA song after a long long time .. we also had a vision of YKW watching the KRIYA moment from behind a half open door.. Perhaps an augury of the storm that she is going to infuse the Kriya land with but it was heartening to note that KRIYA together get past YKW.
The expression , the trace of pure venom in SS eyes when Krishna informs that today is Pratigya's birthday was one for Kodak moments and the quickness with which he hides his hatred and lets it seep thru as his blessings was a wow moment.The cv's too shud be praised for the way they handled Amma..she is sitting there all the while spinning woolens for the new arrival...It was just brilliant and showed the reason Y YKW is the cherished apple of her eyes without having to state the obvious ...The CV's also threw a surprise when the Sax did not even have a momentary qualms when facing YKW...and completely ignored her ...Another telling moment was when Sax insult Aarushi by saying that they have only one daughter ...The reaction of Shakthi or shud I say the total lack of reaction from Shakthi was quite important ..Had he been a guy really in love with Aarushi, he would have taken umbrage , seeing the way tears were rolling down her eyes..but Shakthi would be seen lounging at ease in his chair.. A very impactful scene which conveyed the fact that Shakhti was interested only in her body. we also got to see the courteousness of Thakurs.. despite being indirectly humiliated by Sax, SS still offers him refreshment and orders Pratigya to take care of her parents with Thakur Shaan ..I hope the sax learn a lesson here and remember that adage "Athithi devobhava..
Kudos to CV's for highlighting the difference between the two Son in laws of Sax's..The sax's arrive and as soon as they are seen by the Thakurs..Krishna gets up from his seat and remains standing as a mark of respect while Shakthi remains insolently seated ...
We also got to see the treatment of DILs in two different household ..In one household ..The DIL is brash, spiteful,shirks off her household chores and disrespectful..she has often insulted the people of the house and when she has insulted them ,the elders have given her a strong verbal lashing and ordered her to retire to her room and in due course she is treated like their own child with all the love and care , while in another household..any misdemeanor of DIl is nursed in their hearts and given with due interest over an extended period of time..the grudge is never allowed to die..and the DIL is treated like an enemy.
GOLDEN MOMENTS
Komal being very concerned about Adarsh and giving him advice.Adarsh for one being patient and quiet instead of being condescending or giving a smirk .
India jeetgayi ..Ithni raat kho bhi chain nahi bhudao ko ...The Devars delighting in Pratigya's delight..Tunna's reaction when Krishna says, Pratigya will get a special gift.
The reflection of their togetherness as seen in the fountain.
Ss taking blessing from his Mother and then proceeding to sit on his chair..
The alignment of ladies when P has finished taking Aashirwad..All the Thakur Ladies on one side, while YKW stands away and apart from them ..showing that she does not belong ...One priceless Golden moment.
The expression of contempt on Amma's face when she spies Sax's.
The expression on Krishna's and SS face plus the minor discomfort of Shakthi when Sax says I have got only one daughter.
Bauji asking Krishna to take care of his In laws..Minor moment but a tacit acknowledgment of the limbo status of YKW
The Royal ignore of YKW by Sax.
