Dear Bandbajao,
There are times in life... like a gentle day break or a forlorn sunset, a rain drenched night, the morning dew caressing your eager feet... times when not words but just feelings take over. Emotions like untiring waves swell up the heart. Or simply a deep sense of satisfaction engulfs you.
This episode was like one such very private moment that you simply want to cherish in your innermost thoughts.
This was heart wrenching too...Oh, so many frames just keep flooding back... Oh, how one pines for the original LTL...
Everyone seems to have been begging and waiting for this heart to heart TaSha talk to take place. For me, more than Naku finally telling Dutta about her past, this episode signifies a deeper trust and understanding of their special relationship. The conversation is like a catharsis for both. An unburdening and outpouring of inner hurts, fears and turmoils. A process that helps bring them all the more close to one another. Far from a closure, its a new beginning.
Till date, we had never seen Naku complain for the treatment she was meted out for being dark skinned and ugly. She would always bear it with a smile. In fact she even sheilded her mother so that Babi wouldn't carry any guilt . Here for the first time she manages the courage and trust to lay bare those childhood wounds in front of her husband. Finally she leans on Dutta completely for her emotional needs. Nor is she afraid of telling her husband he loses all sense when in a rage. Shows she is confident of this relationship.
On the other hand Dutta's process of self realisation continues. He admits he made mistakes. As we would love to say, finally realising what a mutt-y mule he has been!!!!
Most men will not be able to deal with this realisation. Their egos wont permitt it. But seems Dutta is finally learning the tricks and getting a grip on that EGO of his. Better still he is prepared to walk that extra mile to make ammends. Dutta is finally understanding the emotion called love with all its complexities. And we see such an endearingly protective and understanding Dutta here. Previously, may be on hearing about More he would have walked out of the room all angry with himself. Here too he has anger. But he puts it aside to nurse Naku's anguish instead. That Gentle promise-- "Ye wada tere se Dutta Shriram Patil ka nahi... tere pati ka hai Nakusha", speaks volumes.
The Gaddha is finally learning how to be a caring husband.
This episode is like a tear drop frozen in time. An unique gem. You want to romance it, yet its so rare that you are almost afraid to reach out and touch.
I for one can't remember such a deeply intense yet tender scene on Indian television or screen for that matter.
I bow to the writers, to their passion for being honest to the characters that they so lovingly have given life to. For making such efforts in sustaining the essence of a show that rule our hearts.
And yes, Its CRIMINAL to have robbed the Viewers of MR and MV's portrayal of such an episode.
This could have upped the benchmark for Indian tele by so many notches.
