Hello Friends, ( Hey Ria)
Synopsis:Just one word "Excellent"! High on content, emotions and has Karan's replying to Kritika's performance of yesterday! Both of them are damn good actors and these two episodes are enough to prove that! Creatives have tackled things extremely well and they have opened doors in the precap which only point to a more interesting track!
( Iam just waiting for pithashri's evilgiri to be in open...want to see what Dost will do after that...and I have written my post abt DOST today...what can I say...he just was plain awesome 👏👏👏....I loved him even more today...)
Arjun: A Beautiful Character!
Well I have to say this😊...I could understand his viewpoint yesterday and I can realize his feelings today better! He is a common man....you find those around you...he has these shades in him that pull you towards him...I said once on the Cafe "The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw"....and I just love this quote....It reminds me of Arjun...He has flaws but still has this beauty deep down inside him which attracts you towards him...and it could only be Arjun who has the ability of earning back his love with dignity even after he stooped so low in the eyes of his love....He will rise and if the creatives follow the path they are on right now...i have no doubt that he will do so with dignity!
( Well said yaar👏...he proved my point from yesterday the tear i could see in his eyes yesterday...today those tears flew out and world can see them... He is such a sweet heart... and so much in pain.. I just wish he gets back his love...he so deserves it...)
Arjun with Arohi:
Its another trait of Arjun's personality...since he has had an insecure childhood he always needs verbal communication...Whether it is asking Arohi to confess, or the confirmation of if she missed him or today when he says "O comeon Arohi...mujhe congratulate nahin karo gi tum"...
Someone said at the Adda yesterday (do let me know who it was...I will put up the name) and I would take that further....where Arohi kept Mum...barely talked...Arjun kept talking..blurting out things from left right center everywhere...Why? This was his internal turmoil that was bubbling out of his mouth..he wanted her to scream, to react...In his opinion Arohi was acting all the way...and if one is in the acting mode you overact in situations like this where you are humiliated...just to make a bigger fuss out of it...she could have screamed at him, slapped him, run away, cried, sobbed....questioned holding on to his collar...called him names...Did she do anything like that...No...Why? Cuz her emotions had died...so there was no more room for her to say anything..and it was this SILENCE that haunted Arjun...that gave him the same odd feeling yet once again of something being very wrong!
I asked this question yesterday as to whether he pushed her to the limits or he just could not stop her from saying all that...I get the answer today...He did not push her to limits yesterday...infact he did not expect her to confess her love at that point in time AND in this way (yet again there is a difference in confessing when you are acting)...BUT today he pushed her...he said everything that will make her break the silence...the silence which was deafening for him...But what she does in response only deepens his wounds...her "aur kuch sir" was enough of a scream so loud that it was enough to tore him apart...her tears were as real as the fact that he was alive at that point in time...
( it was just a pinch in the heart that dialogue from arohi...it pinched him...have to say just superb 👏)
The dialogue which starts at "Meri Mom se kehna"...and ends at "aana zaroor ditch mat karna" I can just stand and clap for Arjun👏...what attitude, what punch, excellent performance.....
( AWESOME ...👏👏)
Arjun with Dad:
This sequence marked the quality of the show! which in my POV today was quite high...The same room...two characters.....about 20 minutes of screen time...you could get bored easily....but no it hooked you to the screen! the dialogues were apt, the execution just perfect....A Father , A Son... Their Broken relationships...it was all there in that room...and we as viewers were part of it....Excellent performance...Both Karan and Satyajeet raised their own benchmarks and gave us another powerful viewing experience!
I so wanted to watch Arjun's first reaction once he is alone by himself, post this confession-humiliation sequence and I am grateful the creatives gave us that....
Another trait of his personality..he is expressive...so the first chance he gets he expresses his feelings he does so in the most expressive manner...When you are broken from inside...you tend to do three things...Its natural...I have done the first two so often and even the third one to some extent!
1. You try to distract yourself (Arjun opens the window....does something on the cell phone) ( iam still doing it ...i know what it feels like)
2. You break things around you to subdue to symbolize your internal destruction (he breaks his cell phone, the lamp) ( i did this and i believe most of us do this)
3. You physically hurt yourself...as the last resort when neither 1 and 2 give you relief (he drinks excessively, punches on the walls, tables...) ( i loved his kick...it was so believable)
Arjun is in shock and denial (Thanks Anjana for making us understand and analyze this)..."I am perfectly fine Dad". ( it in itself indicates he is not fine) ..I just could not hold back my emotions when he says "main nai kia tora hai Dad". ( he was meaning abt the heart he broke...i started crying from here till the end i couldnt hold on to my tears anymore) ..yet again symbolic but so apparent...his internal guilt reflected so beautifully in these 4-5 words...He is guilty and the natural reaction is that one becomes defensive...and in doing so cannot listen to anything negative about him...his defense reflex was fully active during this initial part of the their talk....So for me it was Denial and Defense that he was going through....
and in defending him how he tries to justify it all...asking for that acceptance from his Dad that what he did was actually the best thing to do....But than he knows himself deep down that he has done it all wrong...he has broken that single thread that held the relationship with Arohi...The colors of the elevator would never be the same again! he knows that....and the eyes that were rock solid in front of the redness in Arohi's eyes a few minutes ago...were now filled with a pain more than hers....cuz they not only reflected Arohi's pain but also his own! Where Arohi will only have to cry on her fate.....her humiliation...Arjun has to cry for the pain he gave and the pain he feels! he deserves that....but than is it his fault?
His confusion comes across in his dialogues...I loved it when he says "woh toot gayee Dad" and than a while later says "I am sure woh ghar jaa kar theek ho gayee ho gy".....The former reflecting the guilt...the later the defense....I am bowled over by the creatives and Arjun's act today!
( the later part he wanted to hear someone say that may be thats not true...may be she means it ...may be she was actually in pain...)
Moment of the day:"Arjun tu ro kion raha hai"....the realization...the truth which he tried to hide...is punched right there on his face! and that marks the intensity of his love....No No its not infatuation...its love...and pure love...and the irony of the situation is as I always say both of them know the depth of their feelings but fail to realise the depth of feelings the other has for them! The "Haalaath".....
( i had to drown in tears seeing that pain in his eyes..when Pithashri asks abt the tears... he was so broken...i loved it)
Dilaogue of the Day: "Pata nahin Dad...I dont know....Jub zindagi main aap ko koi hurt karta hai to aap badle main ussi ko hurt karte hain haina...But I dont know why Dad...aaj jub main nai usse hurt kia....usse dard pohnchaya to....Dad ulta main hurt ho raha hoon....Dad....mujhe bura lag raha hai Dad...main effect ho raha hoon....Why"
He does not hate her......He hates himself! and that is because they are not any more two different entities at the emotional level...*sigh* Anu I could almost see the tears lingering around your eyes!
( SUPERB 👏👏👏 ...yes ria ...i had cried badly today... all those 20 mins he cried I had to control my tears but when this scene started ...i could no longer hold on to my tears... I somehow PITY my dost a lot. ...I can see his view point better ...May be cuz iam partly like him...Iam not sure...but somehow he moves me a lot...even when he doesnt cry ...his pain moves me ...and today he was reiterating what I was shouting at adda yesterday abt his so called pain..and today he was just showing it to us more clearly and me ...u have to see to beleive it...I cried... This is taking a toll on me...but me not complaining...He made me realise that I too can cry...Its the actor or the character Iam not sure...but whatever it is ...IT WAS THE BEST SCENE from him till date and me moved horibbly bad... the last KYUN was like someone hit me in heart...was very painful to hear his words ...but than loved it to pieces...me loving DOST even more from today... )
And finally as he listens to DK's monologue...he is numb....The fourth stage of grief...depression, reflection...loneliness which finally continues to the end of the show!
DK: The concerned Father!
I appreciate the way they showed DK worrying for his son....so no matter what has been there, he really loves his son and is hurt at seeing him in this state...Satyajeet did a fabulous job as he tries to calm down Arjun not only emotionally but also holds him and hugs him to give him that sense of security which is soo needed when a child is broken by the harsh realities of life...Parents who have gone through most of them, can not only understand the pain but than act as the best resort for us to subdue the pain.... Today I would not throw any shoes at him cuz whatever, he atleast gave him that shoulder which Arjun needed the most right now! I loved the way he calmed down Arjun....
and this gives me another perspective about his character...
( he was good when he was listening to DOST but yaar whats with him...why cant he see his SON's pain ...why does he think his SON is better off without Arohi and will be happy with Nuts?? Is money the ony criteria for so called happiness?? Wasnt he the person who said if its money or his son ...he would choose his son?? He is so shrewd.... he knew his son is heart broken but ..he cant ask his son to go find out the truth?? Me paining badly today... )
A final comment...even in this beautifully done episode...BT ka flavour was not to be missed! The lamp was back and fully working in the last scene!
( Oh is it ...sorry yaar..i have become very emotional at the end ...so no idea didnt see it)
Moreover the last scene although nice with the background score and everything but is the unwanted gift of the 45 min duration...soon these long eyelocks, earlocks, realizations, would become unbearable! if you dont have content just reduce the time limit....cuz what you have is enough to grab the viewer attention! Please Cut Arjun's hair....I am loosing my patience!
( did it grow already 😆😆😆...sorry didnt notice that...oh god looks like all i was seeing was my DOST and his eyes ...today...didnt notice anything else 😳.......)
Oh my...I never thought I would type in this much...but this was an episode I loved so much I could not stop myself from writing my heart out! Kritika, Karan and Satyajeet just made it a fabulous watch! Thanks to the KMH team for this!
( SUPERB ACTING...and thanks for the update 😳)
