Today's take - Softening for the Kill

That was one quick sorting out of an MU!!! 😆

Dilsher tells Paro his son is mad. And he's not being no guard.
Rudra wonders when Dilsher started getting affected by a woman's tears. And advises him not to bother.
Paro is shocked to know Dilsher is Rudra's father ... Rudra is back to jallad again. Rudra does not like her taunts.

Kaaka kaaki sa and family prepare to camp out in the courtyard ... to keep an eye on Rudra? Didn't really work, they were all fast asleep. 😛
Mohini has a big problem with her DIL ... another mystery to unfold. Liked the way Samrat silently comforts his wife ... the silent reassurance, the holding hands ...

Paro baisa is not giving up so easily ... she tries to get the curtains loose ... and hurts herself in the process.
Rudra's anger when he sees her escape attempt ... gone with the wind when he sees her hurt bleeding hand. He binds her hand ever so gently ... while Paro stares at the change ... the anger gone, only the caring left. Maybe that emboldened her to speak out again.

Paro's defiance surprises Rudra ... even when held by brute force, her back against a wall, she can defy the man, tell him that she will never stop trying to escape ... after all, what can he do to her that he hasn't already done? What does she have to lose? And she won't eat, thank you very much.

Maybe it was that defiance that decided Rudra to change his tactics ... since browbeating her, scaring her, keeping her captive hadn't worked, it was time for some trickery and deceit. Maybe he belatedly remembered his CO's words ... sympathy might work where force doesn't.
So he tries ... he really does. He tells her she's free to go, if she eats her food. He even feeds her with his own hands, when her bandage prevents her from breaking the burnt roti ... methinks he fed her because he wanted to 😛
She doesn't believe him. He promises ... 12 o'clock. One more hour. And watches as Paro stares fixedly, desperately at the clock, as though willing it to move faster ... watches as she eats absently the food that he puts in her mouth, her eyes not moving from that clock ... and his eyes not moving from her face.

And he keeps his promise. At 12, the door opens, he escorts Paro out ... stopping as Mohini stirs, moving again to hold Paro's wrists, to stop the clinking of the glass bangles ... holds her wrists as naturally as though he does it every day, has the right to hold her ... while Paro stares at her wrists held captive ...
Throws a shawl around her as naturally, holds her hand to put money as naturally ... and he lets her go.

Paro leaves nervously, looking back as though to check he's not following her ... not yet ready to believe its true, that she really is free ...

Of course it's not true ... Rudra-sa is following her all the way to Birpur. With Aman as back up.

But Paro baisa isn't as innocent and naive as she looks ... and mirrors are handy embellishments on one's clothes ... more than simply decoration.

Diya ...I like a show which closes its loops nicely. The shawl was in the jeep as aman had got it for paro , dilsher knows now that paro is not his bahu ..nice.

Three things stood out for me in the episode

- first is the obvious chemistry between sanaya and ashish. The scene where she is walking silently behind him and then he holds her wrists to stop the bangles making any noise was beautifully shot. The haveli , the lighting was gorgeous ...then when he puts the shawl around her and gives her the money...

Also when she keeps looking at the clock and eating like a kid and rudra smiles as realises she is now in his trap , very nicely enacted.

- rudra and his fathers relationship is very interesting. Their is this superficial harshness in their mannerisms but they truely do care abt each other. Especially rudra ...

- chachi sa and her dialogues are worth their weight in gold 😆She is becoming my favourite character. That " rona mat , razai geeli ..." plus " batti bujhana..." Dialogue just cracked me up. She is the resident comedian cum witch.

I am enjoying the show ...their is a lot of thought gone in the dialogues , characterisation. Set decoration etc of the show . Here's to many such episodes...

The love-hate relationship between father and son with humorous undertones was interesting...quite different. You know that when going gets rough, they will stand by each other.

Loved how Rudra held Paro's two hands when the bangles were making noise as if it is the most natural thing for him and Paro is in awe of him . Sanaya nd Ashish did great with their expressions here. It makes us fall in love with them already. 😃

Overall a sweet episode.

P. S What I did not get was if they want the Birpur people to think she is dead, why release her ? Is it because then Mamisa will be thankful to find her alive? And admit that she is from that town ?

First page!! 😊

Lots of Paro Rudra scenes and Dilsher vacates the front row seats. Thank you very much..

Ok no kidding, I loved the direction that Paro's character is taking.. From a girl who is entirely shattered by what the world does to her to those sparks of defiance when she is pushed to the corner to the Paro of today's episode who has the guts to answer back even when held clutched against the walls by a man who for all she knows can go ballistic any minute and finally the Paro of the precap who is not only smart but also street smart.. One who manages to out wit the Major!! As long as we have 10 minutes of this Paro the CVs can do masala making or dupatta dyeing whatever they like in the other 10.

I just cant wait to see Major-sa's face when the girl out wits him!!

TRP family was the usual drama, with a pinch of suspense about the DIL. I just hope its not the good old you did not give waaris to my family nonsense.. Or I will e-kick them for sure.. Kaki is my beacon of hope in the other wise time pass TRP family. Sumer may become interesting if he becomes the third angle..

What does kakisa mean to accomplish by sleeping in the courtyard?? She should atleast have asked her good for nothing sons to take turns guarding if it was safety she was worried of.. If it was draamebaazi,well accomplished!

Guinea, I am so sad ... the big MU of Paro being Dilsher's bahu was gone ... poof!! Just like that! How can a show progress without an MU?! 😆

Ashish Sanaya chemistry ... what I am liking is the lack of obvious physical attraction, as in attraction alone ... don't know how to express it ...

Their physical proximity comes across as very natural ... as though the two are bound to be together, their closeness, their touches are natural .. bound to be ... it's more like a soul to soul connection, rather than just a physical one. As though when they are together, it's because they are meant to be ... the way Rudra holds Paro's wrists to stop her bangles from clinking, puts the shawl around her, gives her the money ... feeds her and she eats absently while looking at the clock ...

Mohini chachi's dialogues are amazing!!! And the actress delivers them beautifully, with that bite in her voice! 😆

So now we know why Paro has been in these clothes for eternity ... it wasn't for the MU of being thought Rudra's bride ... they are her secret weapon!!! Mirrors for seeing behind the back of her head ...

Oh ... and after so many days, the smell should be enough to put off anyone who gets too close to her 😆

Bhelcomes, Jamba ... pleasure is all mine! 😆

Thanks, Vera!

your PS ... I wondered the same thing ... I guess Thakur sa has washed his hands off Paro so there is nothing to tie Birpur to the baraat carrying guns. If they manage to prove that Paro was the bride after all, that ties in the village and the Thakur.

And maybe ... just maybe ... they will remember Kesari ram, who did confess about the guns ... once it is proved the baraat carrying the guns was from Birpur, they can rope him in as well. Right now they have nothing linking the baraat to Birpur.

Sanaya and Ashish are very good together ... I love their chemistry, it is very natural! 😳
