Blockbuster review of a blockbuster epi! Am very tired now so forgive random ramblings!
SwaSan are magic as I've always said and today, with the direction and edit back on sync, it was pure class again between them.
I was so happy to read your Arjun-Krishna reference! On the epi of the wedding, I made a post about them using "yada yada hi dharmasya" and its significance and used the exact same reference- even used the disclaimer you did 😆. Great minds or what?!
But, I am in 2 minds about the whole "lying or not lying" and how they will play it here. I like your interpretation but the way the dialogue was makes me nervous. AP asked "kya tumhari aur Swara ki pehli shaadi jhoothi thi?" and he said, "nahin humne sach mein shaadi ki thi", not something referencing pehli shaadi, so we could say which one was pehli?! I may be overthinking it and sincerely hope your right but subtlety in our shows is often a lost art and after this they made a big deal about his words that he will take the punishment, which to me seems almost fateful so 😕.
Whichever way, it again reminded me strongly of Mahabharata where even Krishna resorted to various stratagems which were not purely ethical but that's the tragedy of wars against evil- you have to take steps which are necessarily evil BUT God knows that so let's see how this is tackled here.
I totally see AP be a real danger to SwaSan's future happiness .
Your right! Lakshya didn't annoy today- wow! Ragini- I can't still find it in me to see any "cuteness". I felt it was typical that she went around lighting candles and deluding herself leaving a wake of destruction behind her but maybe am being too harsh to her today. That sequence sure was scorching and oh, I totally see a redeemed Ragini at some very distant point being forgiven by Lakshya.
Ohhh that farmhouse sequence is going to be jam packed with drama of course as we already know. As much as I LOVE to know it all, I did feel slight twinges of how all the suspense gets wiped out when you are fed all those sequences and agar kasar baaki ho to they show you in the beginning and middle and end of the epi itself 😆.
Anyway had more to say but brain finally shutting down after a mammoth week and 3-4 hours of writing TS! So sweet dreams or good morning, depending on when you see this! 🤗
