23/5 -Epi 259 ... Kidnapped!

Wednesday 23rd May

Praise be to the Lord ... another good episode, though not in the same league as yesterday ... but the story continues to move.

I wish Bitiya had managed to get a word out before Arnav hung up the phone ... why did he do that? Because he was afraid of her silence? Loved the way she clung to the phone and held it tight, before walking quietly out, leaving the rest of the family celebrating ... VLR rejoins the group ... and Anjali unwittingly strikes the nail on the head when she says it felt like Bitwa heard we were going to contact the police, so he called ...

Loved Khushi's fb's ... finally remembering all the 'farak padta hai's and Diwali kiss ... then the song ... I LOVE this song ... Aaoge Jab Tum o Sajna ... Angna phool khilenge ... perfect song of a girl pining for her love ...
Once I got over the distracting earrings (do they TRY to choose the most hideous ones they can find?), I liked the song picturization ... my inner phangurl surfacing ;) ... except for ASR running by the poolside ... that made me giggle :))

Oh yes, we had some shots of Arnav struggling in a chair all tied up ... so it's established ... he's kidnapped. And the goons know he has diabetes, and they have to keep him alive for now ... Umm, for diabetes, food is as important as medicines ...
Arey baba, we want some introspection and fb's ... and some thinking ...

Romance over, Khushi is all tense again ... her Arnav is in danger, so gets down to business ... check flights, call Aman ... get the facts ... the puzzling SMS ...
And her thinking starts ... why did he say ILU ... after all the hate? There is something wrong for sure ... was he trying to tell her something?
Chalo, HR fb nahin aaye, but the ILU did get her thinking on the right lines ...
First call - Police station ... nixed. Now what will she try tomorrow? 

Payash romance ... now they need Nani to be Cupid ... inka kuch nahin ho sakta! :))

*edited*
Have the falling TRP's lit a fire under the collective backside of the cv's? Because suddenly the speed of the episodes has picked up greatly ... too much, I feel ... they need to fade out certain scenes slowly to leave the full impact, especially the emotional ones.

Having said that, I liked the way yesterday's scene carried over today ...

Arnav says 'Khushi, I love you ...'
Khushi is shell-shocked ... a traumatic three days, coming to terms with her own feelings, that vague but ever-present sense of foreboding, the shock of learning that those half-formed fears are founded in some reality, because Arnav is really missing ... facing her own fears, is he in danger? ... then pushing them to the back-burner in trying to hold strong for the family as they all collectively panic like headless chickens ... and then the phone call, which seems to lay all those fears at rest ... he's alive, he's all right, he's talking normally to everyone else ... there is nothing wrong with him ... it was all her imagination, brought on by her own newly realised feelings and pain of unrequited love ...
And then he talks to her ... as though that bitter parting in the airport never happened ... he tells her to stop crying as though he can see her face to face, he knows what she's going through ... he understands and is trying to calm her and tell her not to worry ... and he loves her ... he said it ...

And she is shell shocked ... doesn't know how to react as the words sink in ... a single tear steals out ...
He waits on the other side ... only to hear silence ... he could read her tears, can he read her silence too?
And the tears start flowing again, in a stream ... he said the words she was dying to hear, the words she thought she would never hear ... she can't believe it, a dream come true ... is it a dream or is it real? Did he really say it or was she hallucinating ...?

He still waits ... can he feel her tears now as they flow unendingly? ... when she's angry or upset, she always has lots to say ... but when she's at her most emotional, she stays quiet ... he sensed her tears, he worry, her upset ... can he sense her love now? 
He said it ... he had to tell her ... in case he never saw her again ... he didn't want to leave her with his hate, but with his love ... whatever she feels for him, it doesn't really matter now, because there's not much he can do about it ... he thought he wouldn't be able to bear it if she didn't love him, but it doesn't matter if she does or doesn't ... he still loves her, and always will, for as long as he lives ... which doesn't seem to be very long now ... he loves her, and he had to tell her that before he died ...

And he clicks shut the phone ... and holds it despairingly ... he could have told her when she was there with him, he lost the chance ... and this was all he had ... he could have had so much more ... they could have had so much more ...  

And Khushi hears the buzz of the dead connection, and stares at the phone ... still taking in the words ... what they meant ... she holds the phone close to her heart as though holding the man himself ...
Kyun khwabon pe tere saaye hain ... dil kyun hai tanha mera
Kyun Khamoshi hai zubaan meri ... ashkon se keh paaun na?

He closes his eyes in despair ... too little said too late ... has he lost his chance at life ...?
Her smile breaks through her tears ... she had begged for another chance ... he's given it ... another chance at life ...
Kyun dard hai itna ... tere ishq mein ...
Rabba ve rabba ve ... rabba ve rabba ve ... 

And Mr Kidnapper takes his phone back, and holds the gun at his head ... hereby confirmed ... ASR is indeed kidnapped. And all tied up to boot.
(If this was meant to be Breaking News, it failed abysmally ... the PH really needs to be much smarter as to what news they give out. :( )

Back to the family circle ... Anjali delighted that Arnav called, Shyam tells her it's good she didn't call the police ... Anjali unwittingly hits the nail on the head ... the moment they spoke about contacting the police, Arnav called ... but of course, no one thinks anything much about it ... to VLR's relief, as Akash makes a joke out of Anjali's hysterics.

And nobody in the rejoicing, smiling family circle spares a thought for Khushi, who's been paranoid the last two days with worry ... nobody thinks to comfort her, as she steals out of the room quietly ... lost in those three magical words ... her dream come true ... her heart's longing fulfilled so suddenly and unexpectedly ... barely had she come to terms with her own love, and now she finds that it's returned ...

And her flashbacks ... all the right ones this time, connecting the right dots ... his anger always a front for his love, which he could never express ... the unfinished 'farak padta hai kyunki ...'s, the unfinished Diwali kiss ... now she can see the love behind the anger of the engagement 'farak padta hai', the love behind the angry concern of the 'farak padta hai kyunki ...' when she went missing for all of two hours ... and the first love behind the unfinished Diwali kiss ...

And she enters her room still lost in that daze ... he meant it ... he does love her ...  the wind chimes she had hung to tell her of his arrival sound melodiously ... and in that daze she gets lost in her dreams ... he's back ... he loves her ... her rajkumar ... smiling at her ... candlelight and romance ... Khushi in bridal red ...

She reaches out her hand ... she was always the one chasing him for answers ... why did you say that? why did you keep my payal? Aapko kyun farak padta hai ...
And he takes her hand ... this time she's got her answer ... he's given her the answer she wanted to hear ... she always wanted the words ...
So she puts her finger on his lips ... he doesn't need to say more ... she's got what she wanted, what she needed ...
(SN - also Sanaya telling Barun - Zip It!)

He motions to the pouch ... the pearls ... at their first meeting, he broke her pearl string ... scattered the pearls ... now they're back, strung again into a new string ...he dishonored her, now he's restored her honor ...

Aaoge jab tum o sajna ... angna phool khilenge ...
Barsega sawan ... barsega sawan jhoom jhoom ke ...
Do dil aise milenge ...
Beautiful song ... the perfect song for a girl waiting for her love ...
'when you come, my love ... the flowers of spring will bloom in my garden ...
as the rain strikes the parched earth and becomes one with it ...
our hearts too will meet and become one ...'
Hamari dhadkanein ek ho jaati hain ...

Arnav to Khushi -
Naina tere kajraare hain ... 
Nainon pe hum dil haare hain
(apt - her eyes were looking beautiful, with the darker than usual makeup - Sanaya looked breathtakingly beautiful in this entire sequence)
Anjaane yeh tere nainon ne
Vaade kiya kayi saare hain ...

Her eyes always spoke ... never her words ... her eyes promised him her love ...
Saanson ki laya madhyam chale ... tose kahe ...
barsega sawan ... barsega sawan jhoom jhoom ke ...
do dil aise milenge ... 

Khushi to Arnav -
 Chanda ko taakun raaton mein ...
Hai zindagi tere haathon mein ...
palkon pe jhilmil taare hain ...
Aana bhari barsaaton mein ...
Sapnon ka jahaan hoga khila khila
She waits for him ... her life in his hands, her dreams in her eyes ... a world of their own, away from everyone else ...
Barsega sawan ... barsega sawan jhoom jhoom ke ...
do dil aise milenge ... 

And he gives her the message in a bottle ... I Love You Khushi ... her dream come true ... and disappears ...

 And she knows he's in trouble ... even as he struggles to free himself ... and tries to reach for the phone ... and finally faints ...(okay, this was quite filmy :)) ... and I thought Mr K1 (Kidnapper no 1) had taken his phone?) ... Please, cv's get your medical facts right ... diabetics need food as well as medicine at the right time ...

 Khushi's antennae are firmly raised ... And her brain is ticking overtime ... she tries calling him again ... checks with Aman about Scotland deal ... calls airlines about flights to Scotland ... none on the right day ... the SMS was supposedly from London, and he says he never went there ... ah, that does click ...
And finally, so do the words he spoke ... how could he have said such a big thing like this? So suddenly? The way he was talking, so gently, so differently ... there was so much still unfinished between them, the MU about Shyam, his accusations about her character ... he made her cry so much, gave her so much pain, didn't give her a chance to establish her innocence ... yet he said he loves her? How could he say it like this?
Loved the way Khushi refused to say the word 'love' ... as though afraid to jinx it :">
And she's sure ... there is some problem, otherwise with the way things were between them, he could not, would not have said this ... he is in some danger ...

CV's are struggling to find a parallel track that would work in IPK ... the main story is so gripping,a and the leads so strong, that no one else really has a chance ... least of all Payash, and their very tepid love story. Jeez, they even need a Cupid after marriage to fix their dinner dates ...
And Akash sure is overworked in Arnav's absence =)) ... though I think Mami is getting more screenspace than he is ... deservedly too ...

Khushi's first call ... police station ... where her claim that something is wrong because her husband told her he loves her, is met with some mirth ... and Khushi realises that her missing persons report may get into the press, and get known to the family ... so report cancelled ... what next?

Precap ... yuck, more of VLR Creepwa ...

  1. Although sad that Bitwa cut the call before she said anything, need to re watch to understand A’s reaction there.
    And the goons uhh?? Said some boss..
    The song didn’t impress me much. Didn't think fit well there. but think couldn't take lovey dovey ASR there ... Fb's were good leading to the song. and also she seeing why would he say that to her when he hated her. wish HR Fb's were shown may be later ..

    Now she way better in solving this ..
    She called to check if there were any flights to Scotland, calls Aman to check about deal,
    But yepiii Khushi figure out the SMS from London wala clue.. goes to police, but they tell her they have come to her house for inquiry, so she returns, so is she hiring PI ??
    Whats in the paper, does she get got in the press outside the police station?

    1. well bitwa cut the call .... I found it apt ! .... Loved how bitiya was holding her phone with smile as if it was no phone anymore but 'Aladin ka chirag' - Got her the magic words she wanted to hear :)

    2. Aaru humay laga...Hiiiiiiiiiii WALA ASR milega, yeh toh bada sharmila nikala:(

      I am guessing, with the press outside, someone would have recognized her as Mrs. ASR and the Policeman must have let it out that she came to file a missing person complaints. She sees it and hence does not want the family to read that article that she went to police.

      WHY IS SHE NOT APPROACHING AKASH????

  2. Taking a leaf out of Gargi's book ...

    What did they make ODB wear for the dream sequence?!?!

    Cvs we love your sense of humour but really Police Station and wify says to police she sensed danger as he said ILU ..... Pehle rabba ve aur ab yeh !! cvs BG ka Dandaaaa

    Liked Khushi's FB's connecting the sentence prior to ILU ..... and then the FB's that lead to WHY?!

    Payash as usual ..... no NaCl at all!

    Liked all parts of Khushi as usual .... like her route of investigation ....

    Aman is loyal ... Usse chod do ladies :)

    1. Why do they make her wear such odd looking earrings. That was too distracting.

      Sama, Actually I thought that the police scene was well done, apart from poking fun at the gumshuda love story...face it love story toh really gumshuda hai and actor bhi...they had to give a reason for why she will approach a detective..based on the spoilers.

      Problemo is Aman didnt call Khushi, London office walay did, unless it was Aman in London?

    2. I don't know where this Aman confusion came from .... uss non flesh and blood character ko itna importance kyoun diya ja raha hai .... No idea ?!

      I liked the police scene too but really cvs har baath pe hamara mazak uda na zaroori hai kya ?!

      Odd earrings & bad editing .... and ArHi does not require any song from BW .... pearl pehnake staring staring session with their very own BG score .... would have been magic!!

      I liked the bottle thing but they dint show the card properly again editors .... Kalki bahwai se 10 marks minus!

    3. Sama, the police will ask na why do you suspect your hubby is in danger adn when she said cos he said ILU, Shukra manao he was polite enough to register the comment anyway warna usually daant maarkar bhaga detay.

      Delhi Police may Tact ka T bhi nahin hai.

    4. shwets,
      Super dialogue machi!

      The whole thing was bad. But on 2nd watch it does not seem that bad .. That was typical khushi, blurting out, she is messed up in the head and to her its main reason.. But i feel it might be just to show that she went to police first or give a hint to shyam with the newspaper, that she is not convinced and she went to the police. Or why would you need for a stupid Media outside, she had to leave and get caught in that media mess.

      Delete
    5. Shweths, I thought she said Aman called her from London ... and that's what Akash also asked, why didn't Aman call me? So I'm assuming it's Aman in London ...

      Do you realise what this means???!!! We finally have a face for the name!!! Halleluiah!!! :D

    6. that guy was Aman? are you sure??

    7. arrey how many times do i have to say this!! she was talking about the london guys, but used the word "unhoney".. THAT WAS NOT ABOUT AMAN. aman ko chodo.. he is innocent!!

    8. Sorry Jaya..truly!!

    9. ayyo anita.. was not aimed at you! was just a general statement of frustration! and now that i read my post again, i seem to be biting your head off.. sorry!

      Delete
    10. Arey, Aman is innocent ... but he is in London. Even Akash was wondering why Aman hadn't called him rather than Khushi, thn Khushi clarified that Aman called the Delhi office first, got no news, then only called Khushi. So Aman called the Delhi office because he's NOT in Delhi - he's in London.

      Delete
    11. *rofl* J, agree or disagree, Aman ko chhodo, we agree he's innocent ... now let's figure out where Arnav is, that's more important!
      If he's in the dungeons of Sheesh Mahal, the wicked chachaji is involved.
      If he's in the house Shyam is supposedly renovating for Anjali, he's the mastermind.

  3. Random pointwas in my mind while watching the show:

    1. Dream Sequence and song....They could hav actually shot a more meaningful scene where they talked and agar song was needed toh RV is good na, why wasting money on another song?

    2. Dream Sequence...8'O Clock audience kay hisaab say Berry Intimate, Yaani Show will end with Arhi (re) Marriage, No SR sequence.

    Chalo yeh to mila considering apparantly 7 baje show may yeh bhi nahin tha.

    3. Finally Dimaag working for Khushi. Good.

    4. ASR kidnapped........Helcopter ASR with 2 Bodyguards....Agar donon aaj hotay toh yeh naubat nahin aati.

    ********In Tamil - Yeppadi Irunda ASR Ippadi Aayittan.

    For those who didnt get it is a pretty famous Tamil movie dialogue pretty much signifying How the mighty have fallen .....In this case landed on a chair and roped.*************

    5.Payash scene - Nani witnessing another Gupta sister love for her hubby.

    6. Payaliya Aapka Mind toh perennial MIG may hai. Nani said Raat aur aap kahan pahunch gayi...Dinner ki baat kar rahi thee na..

    7. Police Complaintwa...Meaning Entry of Hotwa Detectivewa...Or The guy is simply hot cos it is summer and is sweating.

    8. Akash working more than ASR - ha ha ha...I liked it cos finally Akshay is getting to shoot more than Barun, CVs..Aappka Sense of Humor intact in buray waqt may bhi, wah wah!!

    9. Final (Not so funny but a bit sad) POINTWA OF TODAY:

    ***************

    All the times he said I hate you, she believed him.

    When He finally said I love you, she didn't.

    ************

    Whatever may be the sound logic behind it.

    1. Well agar misunderstanding track nahi hota story mein toh I am absolutely sure Khushi would have had to point a gun too to make the might ASR say ILU.

    2. ROFL... ab kya he baaki!
      i wish there was a hotwa detective.. but they are planning to bring that buffoon NK back! (ducking random rotten tomatoes)
      as if RM had a lack of cartoon characters..

    3. duck some more Jaya .... I love NK !! :P

      if this means Masala Mamas exit ... I will do Lays wala tomato tango ;)

      Delete
    4. Oye, mere pyaare NK ko buffoon mat bulao ... he's a cutiepie!
      Maybe he's learned some detectivegiri in his new show and will apply it here ...

      And I think the convo was cut at the right point, Shweths - the ArHi MU is still not cleared ... so we got what we wanted -
      Sh loves him even thinking he hates her
      He loves her even thinking she doesn't love him ...

      Now she knows he loves her ...
      Ab aage ... he will know she loves him ... my sixth point :)

      And the dream sequence was exactly in flow with the emotions according to me ... her first reaction after hearing his words is disbelief, because she just made up her mind her love was unrequited ...
      then joy, because it's requited (is that a word?) ... and she actually connects the RIGHT dots and knows it's true ...
      so her dream ... she can now dare to dream about his return, knowing it will come true, he does love her ...

      And it ends with the message in the bottle ... not from any book, but the classic distress call of sailors marooned on deserted islands ... also goes with my title Kidnapped - the same author wrote Treasure Island ... the two most famous books of RL Stevenson, I always club them together in my head ;)

      So the message in the bottle is his distress call ... and she comes out of her dream world and starts putting it together.

      Delete
  6. Have to see A's exp again to decipher why he cut the call..okay maybe he has done what he had to do....but can't bear the consequences of what she will say....he has always feared rejection by Khushi...that may well be the reason...

    I understand that K would have reacted with a mixture of incredulity, joy on hearing Arnav say those words...and but flight to fancy looked misplaced in terms of how it was shot...FBs leading to it were excellent so i guess...the disappointment...esp the change of clothes for K was jarring...actually the whole sequence was a bit of downer...my person opinion....maybe it was for phangirls?

    Rest of epi ok...nothing great..
    her flight to fancy derailed, she gets back to brass tacks...
    Khushi thot process is ok (as she is not expected to know)but facts don't support the logic used...u can always go to Scotland via London...so....police scene was a bit silly...rest of scenes have not analysed much..

    2. And he was running out of time I guess, and if she asks for an explanation what will he say? And Rekha the point about Rejection very true too.

      Rekha *hugs bey* Just checked I-F is exploding with joy. I thought I was the only one who wasnt too impressed by it. Waisay bhi This is the last week of my watching the show on primetime, will catch the episodes on repeat or online next day. So the more random stuff they give me, I am happy, it will be easier for me.

      Cos Kiddos school reopening in 2 weeks and it is time for projects and tests ahead. So good for me, yayyyy!!!:)

      Pehlay mera original post and now comment to Rekah. Dia will think I am mad repeating myself:(

      Rekha: short form of the original comment - Agree about rejection, maybe he realized if she asked him for an explanation he will not have an answer for her.
      *hugs bey* I was not impressed by it either.

      Chalo better come back tomorrow, before more of my comments gets kidnapped.

    4. Rekha,

      Dream sequence was misplaced it took the intensity away from the FB's ... the connection between the 2 sessions of FB's .... 1. completion of the sentences and 2. the contrast between their interaction before and after his departure, leading to he wouldn't have said that so easily.

      Shwetha,

      She believes him ... she can't believe he said it so easily. Of course she does not know there's death looming around him!

      Delete
    5. She believes the ILU ... the first set of fb's were about that ... all the 'farak padta hai's and Diwali almost kiss... and I liked the dream sequence (I love the song) ... but it ended too abruptly ...

      she can't believe he said it so easily after all the hate ... which is what leads her to believe that there is something very wrong and that he is in danger ... her first correct conclusion in a long while :)

      Shweths ... *rofl* as usual, I love your little chats with Godjee ... getting influenced by Khushi and her DM, I can see, complaining to Him about your comments being kidnapped :D

      Rekha, yes, he could have gone to Scotland via London, but he wasn't on the London flight - that was already established na ... unless she didn't check the other London flights, and there must be more than one.

      Delete
    6. And yes she believes him, her FB's were all that of Faraq padata hai, and hence spane sanjona, as you said she can't believe he said that when in fact when he left he hated her even if he said he wouldn't say it so easily..
      she come to the terms that he in fact said that "unhonye yaisa kyu bola" she can't even say it loud as if, if she says the next moment it will be unreal, or he would in the moment he would say it never meant... Sanz was excellent there..
      And Bitwa in captivity had me splits somehow I don't why, may be because of the goons..

    1. Camcorder ..... Telly world mein things are not shown until they have some meaning .... it maybe not for bitwa but family will need proof of Khushis innocence specially Anjali .... she will not accept anything if not shoved right on her face.

      And if they can keep the same NKness .... TRP baba khush ho jayenge :D

      Delete
    2. oh yea...forgot about the camcorder Sama...it has the proof Anjali needs..other family also..and NK and Khushi have always gotten along well..she will be able to confide her fear for ASR and he is be her support that she so desperately needs..and i did like NK..will be fun to watch him again!!

      about the show...as much as i loved the FB's..what was the romance scene?? seemed fake..forced and completely out of place..
      Khushi knows her man soooo well...she caught on that he was in trouble after that ILU...not because he said it..but he was never like that with her so why NOW..so suddenly...
      i guess showing Barun like that was for the fangirlies...didnt do much for me...didnt feel bad for him till he fainted..

      Delete
    3. Will NK re-enter as NK? Or as the hottie detectivewa? Will there even be a PI? Or will Khushi do the needful?

      Delete
    4. Dia, the interview says he will be back in the role of NK...

      Delete
    5. May be NK is entering as NK, may be Khushi confronts to him everything and they two team up to find Bitwa, like he saving her from Shyam at RM or having her back when she out searching for him or maybe he puts the detective hat. But I am sure if he is back, he will be the one who will Khushi to where Arnav has been holed up.

      Delete
    6. I'll be very happy if NK teams up with her ... why is she not confiding in Akash? Because of the Shyam angle? But she doesn;t even know that Shyam is involved in the kidnapping as of now ...

      But yep - I'll be happy if she goes with NK to that spooky warehouse ... and not alone ... I always feel the heroes and heroines are such nutcases to do these things alone and of course never tell anyone where they are going ...

      Delete
    7. Dia..with Akash i dont think Khushi was overtly friendly..she liked and respected him but they didnt bond like she did with NK...and Akash will definitely have a million questions if she confides in him and her sister is also involded..she wouldnt want to create problems between them... chances of NK believing her are more than Akash..

      Delete
    8. Ok so is masala mama going to make an exit? Chances are Khushi starts of alone and then figuring whom she can ask for help recalls her friend NK and asks him to come nack toRM from visiting relatives.

      Aaru,

      I thot ASR tired too hard in that scene he was tied. I know it could have been better. I mean he became disheartened so easily?

      What theyy are trying a dil and dimaag transplant between Arnav and Khushi?

      Shweths,
      ROFL true yaar I want my chopper ASR back. Guess all of u going Barun can run saala made the team hav him run again.

      Dia,
      Dream sequence was flat for me. After that last scene intensity it kind ruined the day today. Khushi could have just continued with all the conflicting GH FBs, Payash wedding FBs rather than a new dream song. And WT how dare he make yher wear the pearl string in a dream sequence? I want another one and a proper scene like the 1st epi waala. Or was this to show that Khushi had finally gotten all the wisdon she needed to proceed on her quest?

      Natkhat CVs

      All this while we have been yelling batti jalaao, please flicker toh ho and that bulb beside biwa was flckering today, I was so ROFL thinking about all out DM rquests

      Also nani saying jab chote aajayenge toh sab theek ho jaayega par jab tak woh nahi aate, matters have to be taken care of.

      Cv's like Shwethu says, we know yaar u guys have a sense of humor. Stop stalking all the forums and the blog and pay attention to the gumshuda love story that the media has a nose for to sniff out all the matters before they register with you.

      Ok now I am thinking like Shweths, are tehy rushing because a gong has sounded somewhere - 2 hafte main TRP oopar else.. Why did I feel today's epi was rushed. SHe has the buggest news of her life and she already did 50% PI giri on her own? Depserate much?

      Delete
    9. Dream sequence per se idea was good because that was a very Khushi thing to do -after all Kuch Kuch Hota hai Arnavji aap nahi samjhenge..but why was it hurried like this?

      Message in a bottle - Well the lady who finds the bottle in he movie found love only to lose it at the end is it not? happenstance, serendipity?

      Are they going to amke us believe Arnav is dead in days to come?

      Oh how cool was the good saying agar yeh mar gaay oh boss hume maar daalge - today was totally PUNny episode :P

      Delete
    10. And it seems sailors use messages in bottle to let it be known they are marooned - so the ILU Khushi was equivalent to a SOS message bcos like Khushi said he would nto have said it so easily under normal circumstancs (haan re Aaru..agree!)

    11. our cvs do have great sense of humour ..... when khushi placed her finger on his lips I was reminded of the time he did it .... but then my thought shifted to comment here at R&R .... Barun just ZIP it !! *rofl*

    14. Sama/Dia ROFL - funny!

      but for me - that too was a part continued from the past - he has shusshed her twice - once during the holi shot and once when he said he would go to GH (i think) - both times you could feel ODG responding! it was like her turn now ;)

      and of course Dia perfect explanation - no more words needed between them!!

  8. Nice episode .. so Shyam has clearly a hand in the kidnapping and they want ASR alive at least for some time.I liked the way khushi started thinking.First when she heard those mesmerizing 3 words from his mouth , she went to her dream world , but soon she came back to reality and started to ponder more on why he said that. If she was trying the same way she did to get the truth behind the sudden marriage from Arnav , it will take ages to trace Arnav. Hope this time she will be more alert as she feels his life is in danger.
    I liked her Dream sequence. It was a really a kushi's typical dream ..the pearl chain .. ILU chit in bottle .Nice song also.But I am liking the Rabba ve song more :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. just watched the epi - am damned sleepy - but have to respond to some of the comments here:

    - for all those who felt the dream was not right/forced /did not gel - at the risk of sounding like a IF fangirl - i think it gelled in real well. look at it from ODG's POV - she loves her husband to the point of madness, he finally tells hers why he forced her to marry him, does not give her a chance to explain - so basically part on sad/bad note - she is going crazy with worry for him -

    now in all this - he calls, he not only talks to her lovingly but understands her tears and emotions and ends by telling her that he loves her too. her instant reaction - belief in his words and pure joy. - she walks away from everyone into the seclusion of her room and cant help but remember all the correct scenes - parts which had made her hope in the first case - things that suggested that he cared too...
    her next reaction is to imagine what it will be like when he gets back - pure magic (as for her earnings - really were not bothered by them - ODG looked so ravishing with the perfect eye makeup that i did not notice anything else!!)

    - and even in her dreams she does not think of diamonds or riches - only things that are connected to him - pearls and a confession of his love.

    - BUT - she stops - not coz she doubts him (not till that point) she stops coz she feels her heart is warning her that he is in danger and she is restless. hence she starts investigating.

    then come the wrong (as in -ve) FBs - parts that remind her of his anger and she puts 2 and 2 together - even if he loves her - he would not say it like that - then her alarm bells ring again - so all in all - a perfect smooth though process well shown - the only problem with the sequence was the song - they really don't need any and every song (no matter how good a song) - the CVs have to start believing in what they have created and the RV old, new, any - would have been just right here- ODG&B don't need more songs - they have their music and it suits perfectly!

    1. Mona,

      I actually was ok with dram sequence on rewatch. First time round loks like I pickd a video with portions missing and so it really was messy to me. Yep chakki peesing Khushi total filmy so she dreams of a loving husband. But some where BS's body langaue was a bit off I felt in that sequence.

      Baaki ur thots on her reaction - agree with u

      Delete
    2. more than body language it was his look ..... Seriously he looked delicious in all his roped glory and in dream sequence he had to wear so much gel, shirt tucked in weirdly and for me that was distracting rather than khushis earrings .... What The!!!

      As the dream sequence was from Khushis POV ... why not a heroic avatar?!

      Delete
    3. btw is there a difference between normal transmission and HD transmission because scenes look much better and clear in you-tube .... like in dream sequence chit was not clear but here in you-tube Star Plus HD its beautifully shown .... same goes with him pointing her that there's gift for her.

      Mona like your description of her emotions in past few days :) ... I liked it on re-watch after reading your post .... that's where I got the details of the scenes .... editors se 10 marks minus kiye the .... chalo 5 wapas diya!

      Delete
    4. Actually what did not work for me
      was the change in dress for Khushi..ur establishing a sequence..START of dream and END of dream, it lacked the seamlessness that such sequences have..

      per se i did not have a complaint with Khushi's joy..that would have to be immediate reaction of any girl in love...hearing her man say those words..so ok with that dream seq...only feel it could have been shot better

      Sandy, i felt...BS manages the ASR kind of love scenes better, CVs shouldn't make him run after Khushi...
      the scene got better after that run...

    5. Rekha,

      I am going to do a complete volte face and actually say I liked that sequence *sheepish grin*

      I went back for the song and then subconsciously the words began to make an impact and I looked at the scene and I realized ki they actually did try to say somthing through the words and scenes.

      Whenever they have had a song sequence, Jadoo Hai Nasha (Mutal Attraction), Teri Meri (More Arnav POV?), Aaoge Jab Tum (Khushi POV) its usually been woven with the story.

      "Naina Tee Kajraa re
      Nainon Pe Hum Dil haae Hin
      Anjaane Hee Tere Nainon Ne
      Vaade Kiye Kayi Saare Hai"

      How true from Arnav's POV where Khushi is concerned isn't it?
      It started at that fashion show when he broke a strong of pearls, grew more when he saw her in that red saree at the photoshoot and somehow hose eyes made a place for themselves in hsi heart

      Saanson Ki Lai Madham CHal
      Tose Kahe
      Barse gaa saawan Jhoom Jhoom Ke
      Do Dil Aise Milenge

      "Humaari Dhadkanein Ek Ho Jaati Hain"
      On Holi, he held her hand and refused to let her be separated from him. She had then also rested her head on his heart and heard his heart beat its muted love song for her.
      Arnav's expressions here were very similar to that scene by the poolside too when they sat side by side. A day when he had earnesytly chased her for the firsttime bhaang glass and all.

      "Chand Ko Taak tu Raaton Main
      Hai Zindagi Tere Haathon Main
      Palkon Pe Jhilmil Taare Hain
      Aana Bhari Barsaaton Main"

      The day he asked her to marry him, they had stood so close together but the situation was so angsty. This segment gives me hope that there will come a day when under the night sky in thelight of the moon, he will finally hand over his life, his heart, his soul to her for eternity. There will be starry dreams in their eyes of a beautiful future together.And to celebrate in their joy, the heavens will pour down millions of drops of happiness showering this special couple with the blessings of their parents from the heavens above.

      "Sapnon ka jahaan Hoga Khila khila
      Barsegaa saawan Jhoom Jhoom Ke
      Do Dil Aise Milenge"
      When enacting Heer Ranjha, Arnav said there will be this alternate parallel universe where we would have lived happily ever after. These soulmates will finally find that other world of dreams which will witness their blossoming love story. And tears of happiness will flow from the eyes of these 2 people who will finally come together..their heartbeats will become one. They will confess to each other the love that runs in their veins that makes their heart race.

      "Humaari dil ki dhadkan tez ho jaate hai, kyunki humaari dhadkanein ek ho jaati kain..."
      You complete me!


      She will be the angel in red; his favourite colour and he will be her dark hero - her knight in shining armour and they shall live happily ever after.

      Ok this is a totally Hayyyeee sequence for me now.

      Monu: dedicate this to u and ur nfeeling of new found love u mentioned yday.

      "I can show you the world
      Shining Shimmering Splendid
      Tell Me Princess
      Now when did you last
      Let you heart decide
      I can open you eyes
      Take you woder by wonder
      O'er sunrays and under
      On a Magic Carpet Ride
      A Whole New World..."

      "And can you feel the love tonight
      It is where we are
      It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
      That we got this far
      And can you feel the love tonight
      How it's laid to rest
      It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
      Believe the very best
      There's a time for everyone if they only learn
      That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
      There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
      When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours"

      I dediate these songs and the hope of this scene to all you wonderful people here at R&R

    9. Mona, I agree with you, I liked the dream sequence at first watch itself, and on rewatch and in analysis mode, it made a lot of sense to me to do things that way.

      Sandy, OMG, we did almost same to same song analysis ... except that for me, the second verse is Khushi to Arnav ... waiting with stars in her eyes
      'chanda ko taakun raaton mein, hai zindagi tere haathon mein,
      palkon pe jhilmil taare hain, aana bhari barsaaton mein'

      for her dream man and her sapnon ki duniya ...
      'sapnon ka jahaan hoga khila khila'

      This is one song I know all the words of ;) ... one of my most favorite numbers!

      And that song from Aladdin :))) another classic number!!! Disney movies have some of the most beautiful songs ever!

    10. sandy,

      I did not have a problem with the song....or its picturisation....it was apt....Khushi was expected to feel elated, joyful on hearing those words and what followed was natural.....
      Sounds silly but what i did not like was that the change of dress for that...that seemed odd....i wish they had kept her in that red outfit only from the morn....i know what i am saying is stupid...some of that magic in that sequence was lost for me becos of that abrubt change.....

      Kya karen....stupidly looking at things with a microscope....but the comments of the all girls has made me feel better....I went back and saw in diff light....See, the thing is as fas as ARHI is concerned, i am easy to please, i just need words of reassurance and i am back to feeling that WARM FUZZY FEELING(gargi borrowing from u)

    2. Mona,

      MU clearance ka time hai. Those papers wala MU is going to blow up in Shyam's face very badly like the scorpion. It will come back to bite him.

      ANd the dream scene - note how it starts, it is Arnav who lights the candle, he proves / states the truth and the Khushi who was in the darkness gradually moves out into the light. She sees him in a whole new light as her prince while he sees her true nature - glowing and luminous.

      She reaches out for him and he takes her hand willingly, tries to say something to her perhaps offer an explanation but she shushes him..(think HR scene beginning - jab do pyaar karne waale aamne saamne hote hain toh aankhen bolti hain zubaan nahi...)

      And he gifts her her dream - of a rajkumar, of a wedding, of being a bride of being someone's wife - pearls of happiness which she willingly accepts and he makes her his in every way

      "khaakh se bhi khwaaboon ko chun lain
      raakh se bhi khushiyaan bun lain
      bujhte jalte bahdthe jaayein
      girthe uthe chalte jaayein
      Ishaqzaade Ishaqzaade"

      And the song is about

      "Aaoge Jab Tum O Saajna
      Angnaa Phool Khilenge
      Barse Gaa Saawan Jhoom Jhoom Ke
      DO Dil Aise Milenge"

      WWhen he comes to her doorstep astride a horse, the courtyard will be bedecked with marigold glowing in the happiness of their love. Their baraat will be blessed by the tears of happiness in the eyes of their loved ones witnessing the milap of these 2 souls"

  13. Oh Sandy it’s not ASR trying that got me into splits, It was the guy who got me into ROFL, first they show him in putting the phone in his pocket and holding a gun, then in next shot ASR finds it on the table, then this guy comes, the same guy two days back was in suit equivalent to ASR suit, making us think he would be some rival, then thinking he is Aman (sorry aman), but then today he turns out be a puppet in hands of some Boss. Worst was he saying agar yeh mar gaay oh boss hume maar daalge. “ Kya socha tha or Kya nikala woh ”
    Yes they could have made it better, little more struggle, wake up again and then go back to unconsciousness. And I think the red pom-pom will be the trigger for bitwa’s dimaag to start working or last the reasons for some FB’s.
    Twine, the message in the bottle was exactly for 2 reasons one for SOS, next the future track, may be not as dead ASR, but maybe more indication to a separation track. Although it was cute with the ILU in bottle, it lost its charm for me there because, Khushi as per the character would not have known the importance of the message in the bottle – “This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.” Then it’s beautiful..

    1. shwets its not just with you that Godjee is angry.. even my post are going gumshuda...

      contd from above
      Or the need for the message in the bottle was to convey -

      “I have come to realize that destiny can hurt a person as much as it can bless them, and I find myself wondering why--out of all the people in all the world I could ever have loved--I had to fall in love with someone who was taken away from me.” ― Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle ---

      Then it's beautiful
      Although I would have preferred the Notebook reference here.. as its more to close to Arhi

      “We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.” --- Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook ---- than Message in the Bottle one...,

      Whatever the message with the bottle was, it was beautifully placed at the end, hence the song didn't impress me, it didn't sync with the lyrics there.. more over the editing of that song and lyrics were too bad, very abrupt.

      may be Dia's edited post will help me to understand it more!!!

      Delete
    2. Aaru,

      Yaa that was such a big blooper - I was like pocket to table - WT!!

      Yep Khushi will not know the message is a SOS. It was in that portion because at that point in the story i will be what you said "not a good bye but a thank you..."

      Oh just though of something from the dialkogue u mentioned above - what if just like Khushi has taken it as a SOS, they show us ASR / Arnav thinking of Khushi and how far they have come in terms of that dialogue above where he is finally at peace being able to let her go. (tho not sure if I am too happy about the thot of him letting her go away from him but in my mind the arnav who will feel like a jerk at wrecking her life will be mentally preapred to do so.

      As Gargs says - sucks being Arnav!


      Oh and did u like ur song dedication?

      And what did u think of my imaginative understanding of the song sequence...

      Delete
    3. Aaru,

      on your continued post. The Message In the Bottle will figure at the time, he finally realizes he alone is not the writer of his destiny. And at that time it may seem to him that he is losing Khushi forever - either she is dying or he thinks he is unworthy of he and needs to let her go as she deserves better.

      But then when she forgives him and reaches out, it will be the Notebook moment.

    5. Sandy,
      I can just say wow !!! hope its just like you say... I so want him to know that he isn't alone writer of his destiny, and however sadist I may sound , I want that realization comes when Khushi is hurt, as I always say, the fear of her losing to death is what will rattle him to core, and that is what will make ASR to accept that he is not the writer of his destiny. infact he been told what to write...

      yes sandy seared in memory reminded of the same thing hence I said it more close to Arhi then the other interpretation. but then when I watch it again --- I feel the its states -- Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.” she will leave inspite of him saying ILU, or may be more related to the forgiveness here - at the end of this whole thing.

      Delete
    6. U know taking it literally from the movie (sory have not read the book) - the hero learns to let go of his first big love and maybe it refers to arnav being able to let go of those painful memories fo his mother. he thanks her for whatever time he had with her, he thanks her for the good memories he will cherish forever, and he thanks her for sending him khushi and teaching him that he can eventually let go of his mother and in no way dilute the love he feels for her.

      Delete
    7. For me, message in a bottle wasn't the book, it was a simple SOS ... the way sailors marooned on desert islands sent distress calls.

      I don't think he's giving up on Khushi ... he was giving up on himself, thinking those might be his last words to her ... and that was why I did want Khushi to give him the slightest hint that she loves him, to give him the josh to fight back ... the way his ILU galvanises her into action.

      And his struggling with the ropes didn't quite do it for me ... was he suddenly struggling because he got that hope? After three days of silence? Not able to interpret that part, so I've glossed over it ;)

      Delete
    8. i agree Dia - dont think he was giving up on her - letting her go - no dont think so at all -

      he was under threat so he said what he had to - but he has not given up on her or himself - he will try and fight to get out - he is not so spiritless as to accept dying there!

      Delete
    9. Dia,

      inclined to go with ur point on the message in the bottle.....it fits in well with the seq...as immedialtely after Khushi starts to think....right'

      The other thot that came ot my mind....
      Imagine the selflessness of Khushi's love, she heard Arnav say those words she has been waiting to hear....and when he says it, she gives in to the moment and yet when she comes back to terra firma, not a hint of dejection that he did not mean it for her......see, how little she expects of him.... and I said yesterday...Arnav expects only from her...what a pair....truly

    10. Rekha - (sorry for butting in )i agree that KKG's love for ODB is selfless - not coz of the reason stated here - but has always been so- she got La back because she thought they were in love, she was even ready to die is his love was La (stupid logic and dangerous message to the youth notwithstanding!)

      i however disagree that she though he did not mean it - she doubts why he said it like this, on the phone - and starts thinking - she just knows he is in danger and puts things together - i doubt that she thinks he does not care or that he said it because he wanted to warn her - she knew why he said it, because he is in trouble and wanted to say it he meant it but why did he say something so earth shattering and big without anything preceding the need to do so - hence she starts thinking - i dont know if i am able to say what i want to but my earlier post might be useful

      Probably we are the saying the same things but with a twist.....I am saying she almost accepts that Arnav will fight his love for her......HR is a fine example....he won't admit to it easily...so there....therefore his words sound odd to her after she has had some time to imbibe it...WE R ON THE SAME PAGE*winks*

  14. liked the way khushi was holding the phone while talking to ODB and after disconnecting...good episode...agree with Mona on dream sequence...

    there shud nt be any more MU...as Sama said with TRP so low CVs need to clear out the first MU...and show some good Arhi romance..
    then there maybe another separation due to Anjali's reaction on knowing true colours of RRR...showing one or two good scenes a week will not help anyway...(now story is moving finally and we are getting good episodes in a row so TRP shud go up...*shiddat*)

    Anjali's character is so unpredictable...her reaction to Khushi on tuesday (came out of the ILU scene finally to notice Anjali) was definitely far from her usual soft tones...
    i dnt want her character negative...they have shown such a good bro-sis bonding...she cant be like ekta serials sisters separating bro-bhabhi...ok she can be angry for some time but cant blame Khushi for hiding truth as Arnav is in the same boat now...her reaction must be same for both A and K...or will she blame khushi for trapping shyam considering her blind faith in her husband...also Shyam seems to be in no mood to leave Anji(as he said on terrace on weding night) and atually trying to pareshan/harass Khushi in every way possible...showing his true evil face to khushi...

    dnt knw how Anjali's reaction will be plyed...so confused over her behaviour...

    1. Aaru,


      Anji is very perceptive but blinded when it is about Arnav or Shyam - then she goes into hyperdrive much like Arnav in anger.

      Her first reaction to Khushi would be that I do not believe you over my husband and she may use the times Khushi hid about Arnav with her as CIP. After all it is teh vey people you try to protect who find it the most difficult to understand why u did what u did at times.

      Also, by then there could be chances that Shyam will work on Anji's mind and make her insecue about the baby's life or alternatively when she hears about Shyam and Khushi she miscarries and again in a rehash of teh Payash wedding when they try to tell her she has fainted and then again Shyam has an upper hand and the only way to sort matters is for Khushi and Arnav to go away from RM - again a cross Arnav will bear for his sister (it is that dialogue of Aakash; bhai ne socha hoga ki di apne chhote to dhoondhne main poori dilli to jagaah degi -choote cud also mean lil one na)

      It will depend on how they interpret Anji's character. She may not go negative but rather be unwittingly destructive as always but later on like Arnav has a period of understanding and repentance bringing back arnav and khushi together. if khushi and arnav are separated at this point it is because khushi will want it for anji's sake and arnav complies but i want him to walk out with her thereby strining teh relationship arnav aji share and bringing that dynamics into evaluation

    3. Ayesha,

      note how that scene played out - compare it to the scee when she comes to know she was preggers, it was Arnav and Khushi who stood on 2 ends of the room.

      But this time, while the family surounds Anji and Shyam manages to make his way through the family to her whereas Khushi walks away from them all holding onto Arnav (phone).

      Arnav whose dor was in the hands of his Di has now been handed over to Khushi and their love witessed by the entire family. (The phone call that Anji receives and then the phone passes from Anji to Nani to Mami to Mama to Aakash and finally to Khushi). Shyam's truth will begin to come in that order I think as far as RMwaasis are concerned and at the end, for Di to not be pareshaan, they will all be told by Arnav "don't let her know. she will be devastated" Unwillingly (Aakash's pensive look) they will all agree for Anji's sake.

      Shyam will rejoin the family unaware that they all know about him but are pretending for Anji's sake. By this time Khushi and Arnav will not be around and therein comes Arnav's dialogue to Aakash - take care of Di and 'her nanhi' khuhsi

    4. Sandy,
      Ok was waiting for u to explain that family scene....

      arnav may have said it for his Khushi but it will play out for nanhi khushi....logical..

      I have been wondering at some posts in IF(redux probably some time ago) that mentioned Akash being the protector..and the will papers with Shyam not being the one of real significance. My logicla take here is if Shyam has indeed created a forged will, which makes him the rightful holder of properties after ASR...what will be the relevance of any papers done prior to that?Can't quite get that....or u do not subscribe to that theory?

  15. Dia,

    Lovely edit. I had an aww reading ur expression of what went throughy Arnav's mind in those few seconds after he hung up.

    His eyes close, hers open - a direct cotrast to epi 1 where hers close and his open!

    Yes on rewatch even I felt the Aaoge Song was nice. Mentioned my take of it on reply to Rekha above. Have a look.
    But the chanda ko taakun raaton main i thought ws more Arnav to Khushi than her to him.

    I also completed my thought on that scene and thought in commenst to Mona and Aaru.

    Given my take to Ayesha about family scene. Dekh lo pls.

    As for Payash scene, looks like Nnani will issue some sort of dhamki which Aakash complies to - not sending Payal away??

    So I ddi not do it for Tue, but aaj I have written my take (in bits) and my take on your edit too - Khush? :)

    1. D,

      and the Khushi farak padta hai FBs were again out of order (from original) SO what will it be:

      1. He gets hurt
      2. She gets hurt
      3. They both meet and hug

      AND / OR

      1. They get engaged
      2. They get married
      3. They have their SR

    2. Sandy,
      My take on the fb's is different, not from the POV of things to come ... but ODG actually connecting the dots ... and reading the different facets of his love ...

      1. Her engagement ... tumhari sagai ho gayi aur tumne mujhe batana zaroori nahin samjha? ... emphasis on MUJHE ... his possessiveness, that feeling of 'HAQ' ...

      2. The night she goes missing with NK ... agar tum uss ambulance mein hoti toh ... tumhe kuch ho jaata to? - his worry if she got hurt, panic at the thought of losing her, again couched in anger ...

      3. Diwali ... the almost kiss - finally she thinks as a woman, not as an innocent girl, no acidity and dhak dhak this time ... it's the desire of a man for his woman, his passion ...

      Possessiveness, protectiveness (they could have brought in that last fb too at the pool) ... worry, panic at her disappearance ... and desire ... everything a woman wants from her man ... what does it add up to? LOVE ...

      and she has finally read the different moods correctly - he cannot express his love with red roses and candlelight ... he expresses it with his anger, his worry, his concern, his protectiveness and his desire ...

      Family scene ... yes, I agree ... did you mean the secret will pass from Nani to Mami to Akash ... and all will try to protect Anjali? Not Anjali first, right?
      And what struck me also there, was the separation of Arnav and Khushi from the family ... she on the phone with him, and the rest of the family in a separate circle ... leaving ehr and him alone in their bubble ...
      so will they be separated from the family for a while because of Shyam's truth? - because Shyam has wormed his way back into the circle by then ...

      Chanda ko taakun raaton mein ... I saw it from Khushi's side, because the nainon verse was all Arnav ... and Khushi is the starry-eyed one, but you're right ... it could be taken from either one's perspective ...

  16. what could have been done better -

    - the goons! seriously they were funny!! very filmy, the b grade kinds

    - Why was OBD trying so hard and yet giving up so easily - but then they showed he fainted - so i guess they wanted to show that his strength gave way (due to low sugar)

    - no need for more songs- stick to your tunes (like i said in the earlier post)

    In addition :

    why did ASR not wait for a response form her? - i have two ideas -
    one: Its about him - about him getting it out - telling her in case he does not get another chance - in case she never gets to know that he is crazy about her - there was a definite calm
    on his face once he said it - as if a weight had lifted off his shoulders - he was happy (or rather content) that he had finally accepted - to her to himself that she meant the world to him!
    two: that if she responded and said 'me too' or something to the effect - he would not be able to let go - would not be able to face death - would become weak

    NK coming back - am not such an NK fan - but he def. helped the story move and if he is a replacement for MM - am all for it

    and finally - did i mention, i love the couple :D

  17. Dia - Wow really good edit :D

    the best part:
    "He motions to the pouch ... the pearls ... at their first meeting, he broke her pearl string ... scattered the pearls ... now they're back, strung again into a new string ...he dishonored her, now he's restored her honor ... "
    i had mentioned earlier that the pearls was the beginning of their relationship and the confession, the culmination - the circle is complete - but you out is better - pearls are stung back - together!!

    i for one liked the pace - i like it when the story moves fast - a lot of action - good!

    wondering if there will be a RTR - separation track? - def want a woo khushi track - purely for ODB to understand that he cant take his wife/love for granted!

    ps - also don't think there will be a remarriage - i mean where is the need - they are married - the MG and sindoor done - the world knows and accepts - and if there is a PP - then its in the name of Mrs. ASR (hence the ease for visa etc) - so it is formal too - and in their own heads too, they are husband and wife (a waring one at present - yet a couple!)

  18. Dia fantastic edit! Loved your take on Pearls strung back - lovely, think for me the whole approach to the song was wrong, at first watch It was all about from Khushi pov and hence I said song didn't sync. But then reading yours and sandy's take, yes it fits well.
    And about NK am all for him back IF - masala mama is out. And he teams up with Khushi as a good friend in finding Bitwa, and be there when she is at the last stage.
    Dia I think the pace will start slowing from next week, they will take whole searching till 6th June, to coincide it with Arhi meeting in Sheesh Mahal.

    And girls I want Khushi to get the last clue to reach him that is the place from Bitwa .. Something to tell her its sheesh mahal that is if he really holed up by the third party/chacha.. .. or it might turn that they are in the GH, or if shyam has kidnapped ( which I still doubt) shyam jha's non existing house which Anji was planning to renovate few days back..

  19. have a hunch - RRR is the villain - through and through - i too would like another addition - a chacha types - a blast from the past to join hands with RRR - but my fear is teh CVs wont add to the cast.

    now the logic that is RRR is the one and only villain then why is he not killing ASR - could it be coz he is creepy! he wants to ruin ASR - take all his money and rub his nose in the dust - like a i win, you loose gloat!

  20. ARHI ka junoon.......song that is playing on my mind today

    From Asli Naqli - (DevAnand Sadhna)

    Tera mera pyaar amar, phir kyun mujhko lagta hain dar
    Mere jivan saathi bata, kyun dil dhadke reh-reh kar

    Keh raha hain mera dil, ab yeh raat na dhale
    Khushiyon ka yeh silsila, aise hi chala chale
    Tujhko dekhun, dekhun jidhar, phir kyun mujhko lagta hain dar
    Tera mera pyaar amar, phir kyun mujhko lagta hain dar

    Hain shabaab par umang, har khushi javan Hain Meri donon baahon mein, jaise aasmaan hain
    Chalti hoon main taaron par, phir kyun mujhko lagta hain dar

    Tera mera pyaar amar, phir kyun mujhko lagta hain dar

  21. okay. so finally watched the episode in peace.
    remember her nightmare the first day of judaai? she found pearls, she found a key, she found her payal... all the while listening to arnav calling her.

    the pearls, call them pearls of wisdom.. little ones come from nani (he punishes himself when he's wrong) and anjali (you love him).. but the one to string up those pearls and put it on her neck.. arnav, with his I love you, sealed their lovestory. Now, whatever happens, she is sure of their love.... so one loop closed.

    i did not like the dream sequence.. NOT because of its cheesiness, (that is to be expected from khushi.. remember her other dreams? dilli ki autorickshaw, judgement day) but because of the slow moves .. almost did a DABH there with the superslow emoting and moving... to match the song i guess.. (sandy, really good matching of the song and the scene in yoour post!) barun is some bits looked tortured to be doing this super cheesy thing.. almost gritting his teeth and smiling for the sake of smiling.

    and if khushi changed and went to bed, then she had this dream..would have made a lot more sense.\\and all the terrble placement!! one moment he is in the room lighting candles, then she's getting the pearls inside the room, and she runs in from the other side of the pool?//okay, maana ki this is a dream.. yet, a little continuity... directorji??

    found it heartbreakingly sad that no one in the family offered khushi even a hug that her fears have been laid to rest. .. considering that they all witnessed her trouble the past 3 days.

    ASR kidnapped.. by a bunch of morons.. shwetha, you are SO right! kya se kya ban gaya!

    so many goons for one tied up ill kid... and the tying up and struggling was pathetic! (okay, maybe he was hungry for 3 days.. but still!!
    one, he looked demented instead of struggling..
    two, i cannot digest the background score there.
    three, where is the famed shatir dimaag? i think lakshmi would have fared better in that situation than how our bitwa is doing!!
    why dint he move the chair instead of trying to move his bound hand?
    "arre haan, yaad aaya!" even the goondas have ghajini syndrome!

    delhi to scotland.. flight? do you think indians dont know where scotland is? and its all right to get aman up in the night, but not tell him that ASR is missing?

    so khushi went to the police station, but still did not want to tell the family? *head desk* okay, i get that no one will believe her if she says it like she told the policeman, but she is khushi kumari gupta.. and even if she hires a PI, how will she pay him?

  22. thanks Sandy... your comments definitely cleared my doubts specially your take on the family scene or rather comparison between two family scenes...

    "if khushi and arnav are separated at this point it is because khushi will want it for anji's sake and arnav complies but i want him to walk out with her thereby strining teh relationship arnav aji share and bringing that dynamics into evaluation"
    i too want ODB to move out with her....


    Dia..lovely edit...u read Arnav's expressions those few seconds after disconnecting phone...what all went thru his mind...
    i feel he is certainly some what relaxed after saying ILU... as if a weight is lifted off his shoulders...
