I don't agree at all with Riddz' symbolism of being tied in chains because it is so NOT true. Armaan released Riddhima the moment he found out that she is Sid's wife. Sid never kept her in the shackles of the obligation of marriage as he clearly told her before playing with her dupatta that he doesn't want to pile her with this relationship. If she wants to be with him , it has to be from the heart or else she is free to go.In no way have the two men tied her - she is free. Emotional confusion can be defended but emotional blame game cannot be.
However , i agree with Sid's symbolism with ice and Armaan's symbolism with fire ( frankly , the way it was shot was laughable - the ACH and the director need to be whacked ) .....Armaan is in a circle of fire because it symbolizes his emotional devastation and the fiery pain inside in which he burns. Sid on a slab of ice symbolizes his fast setting-in emotional numbness to an extent that he is tired of feeling , explaining and dealing with his emotions.
Today , when i saw a sobbing and shocked Riddhima staring at the divorce papers that Sid has sent her , I thought if what Sid must have thought before even asking the lawyer to prepare these papers.
We all remember that the last meeting which Sid-Riddz had and Armaan witnessed, Riddz sent the message across to Sid amidst 4.5 liters of motte-motte aansoo in her badi-badi aankhein.
" Tumne mujhe akela chhod diya."
"Tumne mera dil todh diya."
" Tum mera imtihaan lena chaahte the ki main kise chunto hoon."
And whenever Sid tried to open his mouth , Riddz sealed it with her emotional thappads which were again justified. Sid tried to stop her and she went out crying.
This is what went inside Sid's head after that:
" Today, when you ran out of the locker room, i felt that you were slipping from my hands once again.Maybe you have. You wanted to give this marriage a chance and we both were beginning to love each-other but then.... Armaan came. I could have told you that he is back but then , i did not want this marriage to trap you in case you wanted to go to him. But it is no use now as I cannot explain myself to you.....maybe i have snatched away the very hope of a lovely future that i myself gave you. Maybe i have broken your heart all over again . There is nothing comforting that i can tell you or any comfort that i can give you because am a criminal in your eyes. You will not trust me again , right? You even refused to come home, i think. Perhaps i should put a stop to this pain and this marriage that you wanted to give a chance to but that is now hurting you all over again.... maybe as long as this marriage holds you , you won't know what you want ..... and maybe you can never forgive me."
Sid has no idea that Riddz has any kind of feelings for him beyond friendship and he truly believes that he has shattered her beyond repair. She will not listen to him again , she will not trust him because he did not trust her. What do you do when you are between the devil and the deep sea? Sid is in a middle-of-nowhere situation and he is purely going by emotional impulse , not thinking rationally at all. That is why a symbolic reference to him with ice. He has frozen all the emotions because he no longer knows how to deal with them or win back Riddhima.
Sid sending Riddhima the divorce papers ( that is if he has sent them) is a purely impulse driven emotional action. He thinks he is making life easier for her by doing so and he is so gonna be proven wrong by his wife. But for all you know, this impulsive reaction is what was needed for both Sid-Riddz to know what they want and why they want it. And finally, Riddz has a choice. It is another matter altogether that she never wanted any choice.
Love and luck to everyone,β€οΈ
