Udayveer : The schism between an Angel & a Demon
Dayumn!
For about 30 minutes of the show, I thought that I will make post on all characters titled 'Different Characters & Different Strokes' but the last 40 seconds and the precap forced me to put this post on UV's name. By the end of today's episode , he was heading the same path that we all feared he would. From a loving committed fiance who had been looking at his Princess like she was the most precious thing in the world ' he went on to a wounded raging and vengeful wild lion whose only mission is to teach Maanyata a lesson that she will never forget in this lifetime.
UV actually showed today that he can be two diametrically different individuals. For most part of the episode , he was the most innocent and virginal person in the world ( barring the signature UV touch when he threw attitude to his Chhotti and told her that Maanyata has no option except feeling what he feels )- he was smiling like a boy in love all along , not a single dark grin , not a single word about estate-crown-throne. There seemed something so happy and lovely about him as he smiled and stared at Maanyata as she playfully fed him sweets with her own hands in front of the family. He seemed to be living in a happy pink bubble as he came sauntering into Maanyata's room ( have you noticed that he always catches her next to that almirah ) ' no manhandling , no cornering , no threatening and surprisingly , no flirting. He came there just to see her and get those 5-6 abuses from her. Even Maanyata was surprised that why isn't he fighting with her? When UV playfully pulled her cheek and called her ' meri jhalli princess', Maanyata's expression could very well register in Ripley's 'Believe it or not'. When he stands at the door of Maanyata's room, smiling a smile of love and touching the door as though it was Maanyata , its hard to believe that this innocent man with the most boyish grin can have anything dark or malicious about him. His foolish and blind defiance of Maanyata as he rips Jaanwar apart makes you want to reach out slap him ' Don't be so good and blind , UV! We prefer you as the dark knight that you are.
And this 'Angel phase' continues throughout the episode. His gaze sauntering to Maanyata as she hops around in the living room making the next plan to go and see Pakaash. His amusement over her childish behavior , the way his face lights up at the thought of buying Maanyata a gift , the way he thinks of a STRAIGHT 'HONEST way to convince Maanyata for a makeover instead of relying on his usual scheming and arm-twisting tactics. That big smile and twinkle in his eyes as he arrives at the mall , wondering how did Yuvraj Udayveer fall in love with his Miss.Haan-Nahiin-Toh. ALL THIS. ALL THIS was just beautiful . Beautiful because it gave you hope that UV is not evil. He is not a black hole. He is someone capable of everything that a good human-being can have ' hope, goodness, love , honesty and purity.
But'.. how could this flash of UV's internal beauty and virginity last? It was borne out of a lie, a game of emotional deceit , a blindfolded dream that Maanyata and Unnzie delivered to him. So, this trip to UV'S beautiful side in his 'angel phase' came to a rocky and painful halt in the end of the episode.
Poetic justice? Karma ? What will you call it? Maanyata was praying in the living hall of the palace that UV leaves , so that she can go and see Pakaash. She literally prayed to God that he goes and well, her wish was granted. Its destiny via her own wish- Jaanwar-VB that designed the exposure of her lies to UV. UV left as soon as Maanyata wished to God that he goes''..Only to turn up at the same mall where she and Pakaash were present ' only to let him see that she had fooled him with finesse ' only to unleash in UV something that even he won't be able to control in the future. Ironic na? It was like , even fate was on UV's side and decided to show him the true face of what Maanyata and Unnzie had done to him.
Exit 'Angel phase'. Drumrolls and fanfare for 'Demon phase'. You just have to look at him standing in the parking lot of the mall as Maanyata leaves laughing with Pakaash ' not knowing that her fate is standing designing her future right behind her. UV was not shocked , broken or a sudden dukhi aatma at the revelation of this back-stab. UV, being UV , turned that instant hurt and betrayal into intense revenge and there and then, he charted out his revenge plan. What you see is his plan of action and not his temper 'And I think UV's dialogue sums up what awaits Maanyata.
" Maanyata , jab billi sher ka rasta kaat deti hai , to kismet billi ki hi kharaab hoti hai. "
From the precap, you can see just how dark and devastated UV has gone inside ' his bandaged hand more or less proves that he broke something in anger and emotional upheaval. He finds out about Unnzie's betrayal as well and Unnzie's phone in his hand proves that.
Remember what I said yesterday? Maanyata and Unnzie's game with UV have made it very difficult for the audience to sermonize or judge UV. Now, whatever he does, whatever lengths he goes to, whatever he suffers and makes others suffer ' the seed has been this emotional deceit. Maanyata is still in a pink bubble and her awkward and surprised reaction to UV's soft side and her conversation with Unnzie proved that she has no realization of what she has done to UV or what and who he really is. She is guilty but that that guilt has not hit her at all.
Talking about guilt , I was smirking to see Unnzie's reactions ' she is guilty , she is worried , she is intuitive that something ' something is about to happen that will hurt both ManVeer and Unnzie will not be able to handle it. And from tomorrow, Unnzie will have to live with this everyday because deep down she knows that their sneaky plan has created a monster in UV. Like we said, its COOL to not love UV but its dangerously UNCOOL to play the game of love with him. Right, Maanyata?
As for the rest of the episode, Komal , DS and Brij were adorable. Maanyata , now seems , wants to fall in love with her family. Jaanwar and the family never got along because both are at fault. The family could not look beyond Maanyata and Jaanwar always wanted to be Maanyata and have what was Maanyata's , because that is her definition of acceptance. Jaanwar still wants Maanyata's fianc and I think her madness to get UV is going to reach new heights in future and Jaanwar alongwith Pakaasfh will be acid tests for ManVeer. I feel bad for Jaanwar because she is her own enemy and we all know why.
Maanyata ka makeover? Seeds were sowed in today's episode. But, ab makeover UV ki laadh-pyaar waali request ke saath nahiin, ek solid dhamkee ke saath hoga.
Oh, and can I please list my fave lines by my darling Vijay Bhai in today's episode? π
