April 2 Maha Episode Review
Overall reaction:
I have to say this was an excellent ME in terms of execution. This is one of the highest points of this track and it was done very well!
Rani's point of view was bang on. She felt bad that this all happened to Ranisa. But she was right in pointing out that Ramadheer went to jail because of her. He suffered for no reason except his loyalty. Then she pointed out Veer went to jail for HER (Rani's) happiness. My favorite dialogue of hers was "now you tell me how many other people will go to jail to save one culprit?". Bravo She felt bad but she knew the pain it caused her father and husband (and whoever else it still could) is not right. And finally she too told him, "if you go to jail, how will I live?".
Fahmaan was too good. He nails every emotional scene and I can't get over his acting. The way Veer fell to the ground hearing Rani's words. He knew Rani was right but he was helpless. I absolutely loved his dialogues too. "I am whatever I am because of her. She gave me this life. She is my mother, she is my everything. Please I can't see her going to jail." When Rani said "an accident happened, people died", Veer pounced back and said "I am atoning for it na!". As if you atoning it will fix someone else's karma Veer My heart broke him.
For the second time today, post the bathroom scene, I saw Ranisa open up today. Underneath all that hatred, ego and pride is just a woman who wants the best for her family. "Every word of Rani's pricked my heart today. It scraped my heart open. But I am not mad. Because I know whatever she said is completely right."
Even when Veer kept on saying he will handle it, she knew her time was up. It's like she knew it was inevitable. To her, Rani knew which means someone else will get to know one way or another. Tanaaz was absolutely superb. When she said she is surrounded by darkness, I felt it.
I think this is the lowest point in Ranisa's character so far. I wanted to feel bad for her at some point, but I was thinking like Rani. I understand how the accident happened, I feel bad and I do believe she didn't mean to harm those innocent people. But the lives she disrupted after that, I cannot forget. She destroyed Ramadheer's life. Okay no problem, but she did not atone for it by providing for Rani or Pinku. She consistently insulted them, called them a criminal's daughter/son, and bullied them about their status. So no, I don't feel bad for her one bit. Even when Veer went to jail, she broke but if it was Vikram instead of Veer, she would have accepted her crime then and there only. No one can convince me that she treats Veer equally. She has some motherly instinct for him no doubt (it is natural after 28 years) but it is not like her real children at all.
The living room handcuff scene was handled BEAUTIFULLY. The tension on everyone's face followed by the breakdown after finding out the culprit is Ranisa, it was given full justice. Just in 15 minutes they were able to show the dynamics of it all.
The way everyone went crazy after Ranisa's truth came out. Everyone, Veer, Nandini, Vikram, DV, Rajmata, even Kiara, I felt the foundation move. What Ranisa had been saying all along, crazy how the makers could actually showed that happening. Everyone was begging Vijay literally.
I am happy Ranisa got what she deserves. Not necessarily for killing 4 people accidentally but all the things she did to everyone despite knowing she was the criminal.
Vijay said "I never once thought that in front of whom I always stood with my hands folded, I would have to put handcuffs on her one day". Amazing slow motion scene where Ranisa remembered things she did to hurt her servants. It is her karma. She felt it in that moment. What an exceptional scene.
In the jail, Ranisa said "time is no one's Veer. I tried my best but it brought me to the position where I should be". Reminded me of Rani's dialogue that time never stays the same for anyone. Truly showing its true meaning here.
Now one of the most important things I noticed was Ranisa said she tried to hit the brakes with all her might but the brake didn't stop. This will play a role, especially if Jai recorded this part as well. If somehow that video reaches Rani, she will be able to connect the dots. They didn't show that part of the video in the living room scene.
Nandini and Jai's scene was good too. For the first time I didn't skip it Nandini didn't want to hear Jai, but I couldn't assess what Nandini felt about his words after she cut the call. It seemed like she was just not ready to hear about it, she was in trauma. Hope they show her to be smart enough to connect the dots. How can Jai know "Rani did it" as soon as Ranisa got caught? Nandini called him to tell him exactly that only...
Jai's dialogue "celebrating before the win Champa darling?". Yes celebrate all you want now, because you are never going to win.
Truly love how much Vikram cares for Veer. When he felt like Rani was sad, he came to give her strength. When he saw everyone else sad, he gave them hope. When Vikram told everyone to smile, Veer did. Veer knew he may not come back, but he did it for Vikram only. UGH these brothers are going to kill me.
DV trying to cheer Ranisa up in the bedroom was so cute. "Aree I get my strength from you only," how adorable. Now I see where Vikram and Veer get it from.
To my forum ladies:
- Would Vikram ever do the same for Ranisa? Or is Veer doing what he is doing because he feels like he owes to the family/Ranisa?
- They emphasized on Veer putting away his phone in the drawer. Okay firstly who does that? But secondly, what meaning could it hold?
To CVs:
- Hats off for a great ME!
- Apart from using logic, how was Rani so sure about the story she told Veer which turned out to be correct as Ranisa iterated the same thing?
- How come Veer didn't get a change of clothes in jail but Ranisa did? Not that I mind seeing her like that for sometime.
- Um thanks for getting Fahmaan a peach suit, he looks extra peachy in it
- Please reveal the ViKiara wedding truth soon. If not, then KEEP HER OUT OF THE RAJAWAT HOUSE. Why is she always there, like c'mon.
