So the last day is finally here...so many mixed emotions finally culminating in this finale.
So much happened in the lead up to this...we got nearly two full weeks of possibly the longest run of fantastic epis in the timeline of this show (brief as it was). The team outdid themselves in the Meera realization, confession, Abhi-Meera shaadi and morning after episodes...👏👏...set new benchmarks and made a permanent special place in all our hearts.
My expectations were low coming into this final episode but as they have done many times, the team pleasantly surprised me with many poignant bits. Even though the show was primarily focussed on Abhi-Meera's journey, the last episode unfolded through Babli's eyes in many ways and I think that was a great call to round this off in an emotionally fulfilling way.
The first Babli-Amma scene was such a fantastic way to begin...there is so much I want to say about how much I've admired the way Babli has been written and enacted...a character who carries the burden of her condition heavily on her shoulders yet displays immense strength and such a dignified way of protest in many crucial moments...this equation she's had with her MIL where she's always assertively expressed when she disagreed with the calls that were made by Amma, without being rude or disrespectful...writing win👏...but more than that the actress playing Babli...what an absolute pleasure to watch her in this role.
And Amma is such a typical bipolar old lady...lol first acting like a dictator, then trying to justify it through emotional blackmail and a misguided martyr complex...regardless, I loved this equation that her and Babli shared...where she listened to Babli's disagreements and grudges with her without being nasty to her...even though I disliked many things Amma did, I appreciated her love for Babli.
The reveal about Yograj was a pleasant surprise and kudos to the show again for not making Babli a totally clueless wife blindly worshiping her useless husband...
I love how realistic the relationship b/w Amma and Babli was...they'll both be upset with each other yet still tell each other to take care...Amma worried about Babli having to sit alone in the dark and Babli telling Amma to not be so upset as she heads to the mandir...
LOLL@ Meera pulling her father's name to get that lazy doctor to drag his ass over to the Pant house...and then people say the girl isn't smart :P
Really liked how that entire scene was set up...Meera taking charge, Abhi managing to pitch in with his Engineering knowledge vis a vis the battery over the phone and Bhaiyya-Bhabhi managed to display their exceptional teamwork and save the Amma😆
I was rolling my eyes when Amma first started with her, "Tussi jaa rahe ho?" dialogue-baazi with meera😆...so convenient, Amma...so a person has to be on the brink of dying so that someone can save them and prove their worth? Waaah😆...but anyways, it all worked out in the end...Amma finally understood ki namoono ki family mein sirf Meera jaise super namooni bahu hi fit ho sakti hai😆
The final touch with Meera smartly managing to get Babli down the stairs was nice too...most touching moment of the episode has to be a tearful Babli sitting down on the couch next to Amma and hugging her...really touched my heart.
Abhishek ki megawatt smile was back the moment he saw Amma pighloing😆...the last family scenes were quite sweet...Abhishek couldn't stop hugging Amma, Babli and Meera in turns from behind the couch😆...oh so happy he was ki finally sulah ho gayi.
Surprising touch with how quickly Madhu said a sorry after all her endless rants of prejudice and bitterness against Meera...but achha tha to see it happening...lol...somehow it all worked together in the flow of the scene...Pants have always been crazy...quick to be prejudiced and presumptive and then just as quick to melt and get all sappy over each other...lol
Nice few touches with one of the chachas actually agreeing to go pay the doctor for once...lol...loop closure from the early days when they all tried to fend off these things on Abhi.
We knew the selfie was coming but it was still a very sweet visual to end the show on😆
Biggg hugs for the entire BBKD team🤗. Thank you so much for bringing this amazing journey to our screens...in a few short months, you gave us so much to cherish.
My heart feels so full today...mostly with gratitude for the fact that this HAPPENED...even if it ended prematurely...but the fact that it happened, that we got to experience this beautiful story with these lovable characters, this super talented cast and crew...like the song we all grew to love so much...this was a language of the heart, meant only to be understood by the heart...and they successfully communicated that to us...these are memories to be treasured :)
Farewell, BBKD...like a mahapurush once said..."Dil ko hai shaq magar, shaayad hum phir milein" ;) 😆
