I don't know how you saw it, but i think today's episode was absolute emotional beauty and absolute emotional horror.
It was beautiful because throughout the episode Rudra and Paro were guided by their feelings for each-other. Rudra had forgotten that he has 'no feelings' for Paro. Paro had forgotten in a rather compartmentalized manner that she is going to leave Rudra. Every gesture , every word of Rudra from the wrist watch to the file to the medicine to the puppet show to Paro's questionnaire were emotions that had a mind of their own- and were not intimidated by his menacing and harsh persona. Rudra's eyes were on Paro throughout and they were intense emotions trying to do a ramp show in Valentino even though they preferred a Versace.
Paro, meanwhile, may have surrendered to the thought that Rudra does not love her but this surrender and inverted complacence takes a backseat everytime she sees Rudra and he says something/ does something that makes her feel like singing. You and I can write posts and posts trying to comprehend Paro's behaviour or what she is thinking but when you look at that face of hers that waits a confession and embrace of love from Rudra , you just shake your head and hope that she gets what she is dreaming about.
Its not like i can really pinpoint what i liked about today's episode. Maybe its the vulnerability and classic hesitance and reluctance of Rudra and Paro that made me find them endearing. The boy is stretching limits for Paro and Paro is weaving something that is a beautiful piece of embroidery - the embroidery of a fairytale that is full of demons and witches but still holds the promise of a warrior and his lady's union.
I found the dance of Rudra and Paro beautiful and symbolic, but the moment of the 22 minutes of airtime was when Rudra stopped the whole puppet show only because he felt it had made his precious Paro cry.
As for the emotional horror, much has been said about it on the forum , so i wouldn't delve into that.
P.S- Kya kehte ho? Banaa diyaa jaaye Laila ko Sumer ki Beendhni aur Mohini ki Bahurani. 😆
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
