7/6/11 - Ep 2 ... Taut ... and family drama

Feels good to be updating every day again ... :)

Episode starts from yesterday's scene of K in A's arms, she shocked, he ... erm, not quite sure ;) He literally throws her down onto the ramp ... oyeee, mister, that's our Sanaya ... gently please!!! Random security men come to hustle her off, he tells random bg man, make sure none of these pics are published. Bhaiya, aaj kal mobile uploads and internet ka zamana hai!

Cut to Payal getting ready and everyone getting worried, where is Khushi and where are dukaan ke papers ... the second is more important, because without them, the wedding won't take place. Sheesh, our great Indian values :(
Khushi being dragged by RSM to a room, locked in ... all the while pleading, let me go, I need to go home ...
Payal's wd be mil is creating ruckus about dukaan papers and dowry, Payal don't like.
Khushi crying, let me out, I haven't done anything ... :( BS tells RSM to find out who paid Khushi to ruin his fashion show. He says something else I couldn't catch even on re-winding thrice. Man, get a voice coach!!!

Payal asks - last straw, is even Abhishek asking for the dowry? Bua says, of course, he's not saying anything in front of all the elders ... only his mother is talking. Methinks Payal had a narrow escape ... and she thinks so too.

Khushi interrogated by RSM ... doesn't know anything, let me go ...

Mother suspects Khushi's disappearance and papers' disappearance may be linked. Payal keeps mouth shut ... grrr.

BS takes matters into his own hands, RSM let Khushi out, she runs, he pulls her back. Ok, this scenes just needs to be watched, can't be described. Rapidfire exchange, he touches her sore point, her sister, and she fires back with his sore point - HIS sister ...
The part where she loosens her hair to cover her back ... oh boy! and then turns arund to look at him with a misture of fear and defiance ... then leaves, and this time he doesn't stop her.

Second half was typical family melodrama ... mohallavalas badmouthing Khushi and family for broken marriage. Ok, something new at least ... Bua doesn't take it lying down, sends them packing with few choice gaalis.
Both parents worried sick, has anything happened to Khushi?
And sister is still quiet! *head desk*
Bua reassures parents in her own rather rude fashion that nothing wd have happened to Khushi ...
Sister finally opens mouth to speak ... and they hear scooty.

One thing I liked in the otherwise usual melodrama - mother first asks Khushi if she's all right, then tells her, no tamasha outside in front of everyone, and drags her inside.
And San's acting ... actually, everybody's acting in this scene is damn good, lifting it above the usual accusatory mudslinging such scenes usually become.
Okay, next good thing ... first mother asks, where were you out so late? Have you any idea what you do ...
Will this be a reflection of Khushi's past somehow? Or the mother's?
Bua is more worried about the dukaan papers ... more worried about her niece's wedding breaking ... niece is her flesh and blood.
Shit.

One liner of the show - wish it had been highlighted more.
Dahej adhikar nahin hai.

And after Garima tells Khushi, don't call me Amma ... and Bua pipes in with, if Payal was her real sister ... Garima says, you've proved you're not my daughter. Khushi doesn't say another word after that. Only her eyes speak ... her hurt, her grief ... her loneliness ... am I really all alone in the world?

Shit, San does these scenes so well ...

Sisters scene ... now this is a sisters bond I am going to like.

  1. Character sketches from today's episode - slowly the lines are being drawn ...

    Khushi - young, has morals and values as all soap heroines, but fortunately not very vocal or long-winded about them. Is touchingly naiive - thought that if 'jijaji' knew about the dowry demand, he's an educated man, he would refuse. And she could make things all right, save her father's shop and her sister's marriage. 'Darti hai par karti hai' seems very apt for her - she has the courage of her convictions, and can stick up for them when pushed in a corner.

    Payal - older, but seems equally naiive, though more by push from Khushi, both simple small town girls from a simple background, have been taught all the right moral values, but are yet to realise that they don't always apply in the big, bad world. Methinks Payal would spent some good amount of time rescuing Khushi from scraps ... Khushi definitely the more enterprising one of the two.

    Arnav - needs to act loads better *sigh*. So far following the character sketch given to him, hasn't really emerged out of it to give it life. Akdu arrogant tycoon, self-made man, only soft spot his sister, unforgiving towards anyone who slights him ... chachaji for one. Full story yet to emerge about his sister's wedding and what happened, and the full cause of his bitterness.

    Bua - again typical old lady, loud, opinionated, loves Payal, her brother's daughter, has no time for Khushi ... judging from the taunts throughout the episode, and the time when mother was worried about Khushi, Bua was worried about finding shop papers, and the comment about 'Sanichari'. But Khushi and Payal go to stay with her in Delhi ... so she is going to continue being a problem.

    Garima - is it the comment about the mysterious past that makes me suspect that there is more to Garima and Khushi's story, than just her being Garima's orphan niece? And was her concern for Khushi's disappearance out of proportion, or just normal worry of a mother for her adopted daughter/niece?

    Shashi - Normal fairly loving father of his girls, ineffectual in front of his sister for sure, in front of 'samaj' and 'mohallavalas' remains to be seen.
