--Shock and awe - Rang, Reth and Raqt--

A well directed turning point in the story of Rudra and Paro. The proceedings today making them both caught in the cross fire (literally and figuratively), not intentionally started by either one of them. The narrative as the bridal party nears the border had each and every individual on Varun-sa's side playing a part in the ensuing mayhem that caught Rudra off-guard as much as Paro.

Stampede, rampage surrounds as Paro comes face to face with Rudra. Her worst nightmares coming to reality numbing her to the spot. A possessed, angry Rudra with the intention of shooting anyone in the line of fire freezes on seeing her, the surrounding melee temporarily muted as he sees Paro as the target. Memories of their chance meeting floods in but what made him pause? He knew she was the bride, did the reality only sink in after seeing her in the bridal dress? What was about Paro's terrified expressions that doused the wrath in his eyes?


The music and lyrics did all the talking, asking and the answering⭐️

A round of applause to the DOP and crew for making an attempt to get grandiose in daily soap. Sanaya and Ashish's expressions spoke louder than words in the last scene.⭐️

Now for the not so praiseworthy moments😉. Every episode of course needs to have a few of those for the right balance
- So the BSD were not thorough in their initial search leaving the obvious places where the guns could be hidden?
- looks like we are heading for a filmy rising from the dead based on the precap!!
- Ketchup oozing as blood was a distraction.

Nevertheless a well shot and cohesive episode, a pivotal moment in the Paro-Rudra story.⭐️

Good post...m so lost in the parud moment☺️

SSN in conversation with RR viewer:

Reporter: Hello and welcome to SSN! what was the take home msg from today's episide?

Viewer: Gulzaar Saab's "golmaal hai bhai sab golmaal hai" comes to mind.

Reporter: Hmmm... Interesting why do you say that!

Viewer: Probably today was a "opposite day" (those of you who are under the misguided belief that thats only for convincing toddlers we have you know that it is a very important and interesting game!!) or they are trying to be "literally" alag che love story

Reporter: looks like you are on to something go on...

Viewer: 1.see they are so alag che that *drum roll please* they leave the sarhad ke darwaze wide open 24/7 and close them when people show up as opposed to run of the mill sarhad's darwaze which are kept close all the time only to be opened when citizens want to cross legally!

2. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the smugglers and terrorists wear rang birange kapade and walk as if they own the land as opposed to run of the mill terrorists and smugglers who try to fly under the radar!

3. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the armed forces fellas disguise themselves with kambhals in the hot desert and ride on camels as opposed to run of the mill army men who wear crisp uniforms and wait at the check post! If you are thinking they probably are carrying a covert operation maafi as soon as they spot the terrorists barat kambhals fly in the air and uniforms come out thats where the alag che factor lies!

4. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the armed forces men let a caravan of terrorists carrying heavy duty ammunition in to the country as opposed to run of the mill army men who arrest and seize all the ammunition hey its not like they are going to use them to kill people they are just going to play "cops and robbers"

5. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the armed forces men dont believe in "red handed" but believe in "green handed" ( green as in money, red as in guns, rakth)

6. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the armed forces search and seize is done only with eyes no touching as opposed... You get the pic

7. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the terrorists are humans too and feel sorry for the armed forces men and lead them to "the trunk that shall not be checked" as oppose to...

8. See they are so alag che that *drum roll please* the angry young man who doesnt believe in "love", "hates beautiful women", whose whole existence is for desh ki raksha freezes in the middle of the shoot out for good 3 min! Dont worry the terrorists are also alag che so they also stand and patiently wait till the producer gets his mileage from flash backs of rolling on the sand dunes and the very expensive nightmares as opposed to...

P.S: if anybody knows the Rajasthani equivalent of alag che please let us know SSN will be bahot bahot abhari! Shukriya!!

Tonight taking into account of the magnanimity of the situation SSN brings another report...Banna Sa dead or alive?

Viewer 1: ofcourse he is! He HAS to be dead for the story to make sense.

Viewer 2: He is alive, they have to show he is evil before the "hero" kills him because everybody knows "heros" do not kill innocent people.

Viewer 3: no doubt he is dead Paro was shocked,crying and soapland bitiya's are allowed to be shocked and cry only for husband. Bade bade shoot outs mein collateral damage hota hain and bitiya is not allowed to waste glycerine on them.

Viewer 4: He has to be innocent and be gunned down by bitwa that way we can have a redemption track in 4-5 years.

Viewer 5: if the makers are true devotees of the 80's I dare them to maintain the ambiguity so 6 months down the road when the leads intense love story starts and the chemistry makes the TV screens across the country go on spontaneous combustion mode writers can spring a tale mein twist and Banna Sa enters singing - Imali ka boota beri ka ped imali khatti meethe ber is reth mein hum do premi chal (sarhad) par jaldi ho gayi der !

Viewer 6: I agree with viewer 5. According to unreliable sources we have a "phoolonka tharon ka sabka kehna hai" rassi'd already so this will be double dhamaka!

There you have it viewers opinion on "Banna Sa zinda ya murda?" Hopefully tomorrow we will have a definitive answer!

Now Shoomie is really signing off!!

Res...defrosting and watching ke baad...😆

Very nice take Savvy... yes... both Paro and Rudra are literally caught in the crossfire...

Rukmini here
