My take on Tumhari Disha - 13th June '05
Thanks jingle for the update. I felt that something was missing in the episode. Maybe the intensity or the feeling that I knew what was coming (the non meeting of Ds). Whatever.....I proceed with my take....
It was a big shock to see Sum dying. She died waiting for Dish. Poor DK was absolutely shattered. It was not over melo drama but just his facial expressions which did the talking (and thank god for that !!!). Dish was oblivious to all the happenings in the house and though she showed some flashes of intelligence (by not trusting Pori) but she let Inder's explanation rule over her heart and Inder became a full fledged evil character today. I was wondering that last week he was the reason for the Ds to meet and gulabo had even dedicated her avatar to him for 1 day and today he was the sole reason why the Ds cud not meet. Anyways the twisting saga needs to continue and we need an excuse wherein Chhavi can take a real break as well. So here we go on the next roller coaster emotional ride.
Acting wise Sum acted the perfect mother. All her expressions are the oft seen ones. As said earlier DK did not do any melodrama 2day after his mom's death. It was more on a sober low key note and I liked it. It only shows that DK is in control. btw I could not help noticing DK in full white. white suits him. Also when Dish is here explaining how much she loves DK and all to Inder those scenes were intersperced with DK lighting the funeral pyre of his mum. Somehow I thought of two contrasting symbolisms here. One was that the fire that is love in DK's mind will now burn more vigorously. The other thing was that fire is associated with ending of something for eg holika dahan. In that case it can also mean the end of love for the time being. The other thing that crossed my mind was that here am going wild with imagination of symbolism and maybe the makers don't mean a thing.
But I wonder now that there is no emotional anchor in DK's life (the two ppl who can control him are Dish and Sum and both of them are absent now) maybe we can see flashes of old DK emerging. Inder became completely negative today. The way he adjusts his specs looking innocently but then showing the evil look was nice. All of sanya's plans were thwarted today. Am sure we can see Gargi coming back and creating more havoc in Kanka household.
Well with the questions mantle been taken over by the mod/viewbie team it has become one kaam less for me. Today I guess the focus would be on Rano and her reaction to the truth of Inder and Dish ending with the Inder taking Dish to the secluded outhouse. Have a nice time predicting.
