18/6 - Epi 277 ... The First Moves

Monday 18th June

The start of the last week of the kidnapping track?

Quick Update - random thoughts as I watch.
Was surprised to see Khushi so amiable towards Shyam at the start ... thought she was doing too much too soon. So I was glad to see her get back to being brusque after the office scene. But I still want her to slow down on the trust factor - although Shyam is in a hurry for sure ... already getting over-confident?
Anjali sees Khushi and Shyam going off together ... hmm.

Also liked the fact that it was Shyam chasing after Khushi ... that was the way I thought it should happen.

Khushi has met Mr Roy - yes she has, during the Payash divorce papers stunt. I'd almost forgotten that ... glad the cv's haven't ;)

And good to see the entire planning between NK and Khushi, and also how Khushi knows the phone call was a set up. Through Di and the cd's ... so Shyam already starts overplaying his hand.

And Shyam is already falling for Khushi's plan? Good, good ... hurry things up now please.

Last but not least ... dream sequence came today itself ... just as my guests walked in :)) Talk about timing! So shall re-watch and review that tomorrow!

*Edited*

The chess game starts ... stay one step ahead of your opponent. So Khushi asks for Shyam's help in a legal matter, some property papers ... after all, he is a lawyer ... in a surprisingly friendly tone, with a hint of 'you know my secret'. Shyam is a bit flummoxed, he didn't expect such a volte face so soon ... antennae raised. But he can't say no to Khushi, of course ... makes an excuse to Anjali and follows Khushi.

And Anjali is surprised to see them leave together ... Shyam said he was going to meet a client, and Khushi left ages ago ...? :-/
Now how will this work out? Will Shyam tell her Khushi wanted his help for some legal matter? Or that he gave her a lift? Or later, that they were hunting for Arnav together? Or ...?

'Roy's' office ... Khushi takes papers hesitantly, Shyam encourages her to sign them ... Shyam and 'Roy' exchange meaningful looks ... hence proved, Khushi was more interested in getting property in her name than in following up Arnav's whereabouts ... first test passed.
Don't think there is anything more to it than that ... Khushi has no assets she can sign over to anyone, Shyam and 'Roy' are sure as heck not buying a property in her name ... and her signature is worthless on any property deal without a POA by Arnav.

After the 'deal', visibly disturbed Khushi ... I was SO glad to see her go back to her usual brusqueness with Shyam :) ... he offers her tea, she refuses ...
He knows she has been desperately trying to find Arnav ... she just gave him a completely different motive for her desperation ... so she can actually carry on behaving exactly the same as she was earlier ... with just a few hints being dropped here and there ...
So she does ... 'I want to go home ...'
Shyam starts his act of showing complete sympathy and understanding ... not knowing this is exactly what Khushi is waiting for.
"If you go back like this, everyone will know there is something wrong ... drink the tea, you'll feel better ...'
She starts to fire back as usual ... 'you think that ...hum aapko ...'
What she's implying ... 'do you think that just because I brought you here, I'll trust you?'
He completes it for her ... 'yes, somewhere you do ... you also know only I can help you here ...'

She's quiet, as though acknowledging the truth of what he says ... little does he know how true that is!
And Shyam does wonder, from what he knew of her, he never thought she could be this angry or vengeful.
Khushi shoots a quick look at him ... she needs to convince him further ... now is the time ... but in a very Khushi-like way. So speaks more quietly ... 'he destroyed my life ... won't I be angry?'
Well, he should believe that ... she always was hot-tempered, and she has been singularly unforgiving towards Shyam all right ...
But he still wants her to tell him about the phone call ... dunno his logic there, but fortunately, DM is on Khushi's side, so she knows she needs to win his trust some more ...

'Maybe whatever is happening with Arnavji, is punishment for what he did to me ...'
That's more like Khushi, believing in fate and divine intervention.
Then shooting another look, she goes on 'I told you he's been kidnapped, but I don't know who and why ... what they want ... I can't tell anyone at home ...'
Shyam interjects ... 'any clue who they are? What they want? Do you suspect anyone?'
She doesn't ... but she's scared that if she tells anyone, they will harm Arnav, and that she can't have. She needs him back soon ... but only for the success of her plan ... she can't afford to make even one mistake right now ... even when he called, she couldn't get any clues ...

Ah, so she does tell him about the call ... Shyam relaxes further, his next test passed ... and she looks angrily at him ...
'I haven't done anything wrong ... don't look at me like that ... you're also deceiving them, so don't give me those looks ...'
He's quite shocked ... she pushes the story further ... 'that old Khushi is dead ... Arnav killed her ... I was never that way, but now I'm going to be selfish ... I have to worry about my amma and babuji and no one else ...'
He puts a sympathetic hand on her shoulder, and she allows it to sit for a while ... before finally throwing it off ... mixing the new and old Khushi ...
Whoever wrote and directed this scene, deserves applause ... both the actors as well, of course ... the writing was superb, and the actors managed to convey the underlying changes in the equation so fabulously ... Shyam slowly beginning to trust this new Khushi, Khushi retaining just enough of her usual behaviour with him, and showing the changes ever so subtly ... down to the length of time she allowed his hand on her shoulder, and the way she threw it off exactly like the old Khushi ... and her words after that ... mixing old and new beautifully, just enough to throw Shyam off, get him all confused and ready to believe her ...
'Why am I even bothering to tell you all this?! You won't understand ...'
And Shyam tries convince her ... 'you're telling me because you know I will understand ...' finally convinced that he knows the real Khushi, he understands why she's telling him this, because she can actually trust him ...
But she goes back to the old equation ... can't give him too easy a victory or he will suspect that something is wrong ... 'trust you?! You're one of the reasons for this state of mine ... you and he both. There is NO difference between you and him for me ... I hate you both!'

And Shyam is left scrambling angrily to convince her that yes, there IS a difference ... he is very different from Arnav ... he loves her, while Arnav has only given her pain and hate ... and she pretends to be actually thinking it over ... while he tries to tell her softly how much he always loved her ...
Khushi leaves ... with one backward look ... letting the hate soften into confusion ... a look that reminds Shyam of the first time they met and he looked back at her ...

And that is exactly the way I wanted it to happen ... that Khushi maneuver Shyam so cleverly that HE has to convince her to take his help, not that she ask for it like the promo ... 

And Khushi is almost home and dry :)) =D>

Khushi-NK ... as they go over their plan and how well it worked, down to divine intervention taking Khushi to Anjali's room to hear the sounds of the train and temple bells that she heard on the phone with Arnav, further confirming Shyam's involvement, and realising that even the phone call was probably part of Shyam's plan ... is he purposely misleading her? And of course NK had checked Shyam's whereabouts so that Khushi could ask Anjali for the money in his hearing, and fixed the guy to take the money from Khushi ... Khushi also tells NK about the property deal she is supposed to sign ... NK worried about the papers, but Khushi knows they are false, because Mr. Roy is fake, she has met the real one. A fake Mr. Roy is not going to buy any property in Arnav's name in a hurry!

Khushi tells NK that she told Shyam everything, because anyway he knows it all, the good thing is that Shyam has started to trust her ...
And she wants to return the money to Di ...

And finally her frustration and upset spills as she barely holds her tears back ... after all this, she still has no clue about Arnav and where he is ... how long does she have to play this game with that despicable man ...
NK reassures her and tells her to keep patience ... this was just the first step ... Shyam will lead them to Arnav sooner or later ...

Shyam sits back and gloats ... his plan is working ... it took time, but finally he saw the expression on her face that he's been waiting to see for so long ... and soon he will be the one to fulfill Khushi's dreams ... Arnav will leave her life ... and he, Shyam will be the one left closest to her ...
When VLR starts gloating, it means his plans are going to crash ... VLRji, it's Khushi's plans which are working, not yours ... finally!!!

Khushi by the poolside ... looking at the stars ... remembering Arnav and their poolside memories ... payal ... almost kiss ... poolside kiss ... love and romance is very much on Bitiya's mind ...:">
As it is on Arnav's mind, as he sits in captivity ... both yearning for the other ... when together, they lived with hate and anger, but apart, they long for each other, together even when apart ... mohabbat door jaane na de ...

Teri meri meri teri prem kahani hai mushkil
do lafzon mein yeh bayaan na ho paaye
Ek dooje se hue juda, jo ek dooje ke liye bane 

Teri meri meri teri prem kahani hai mushkil
do lafzon mein yeh bayaan na ho paaye

The trademark grab and pull Arnav-Khushi move ... :">  the back hug reminiscent of the first Teri meri ... but followed this time by a caress ... and she moves away just as he starts to caress her ...
They came together ... and moved apart ...

She turns and looks back at him ...
Tujhse dil jo lagaya ... to jahan maine paaya 
Kabhi socha na tha yeh milon door hoga saaya ...
An acknowledgment of his love ... he gave her his heart, and gained the world ... but he never knew he himself would drive her away ...
But she comes back to him ... because she can see his love now, even when he doesn't say the words ...
 Kyun khuda tune mujhe aisa khwab dikhaya jab haqeeqat mein use todna tha ...
The night they met, the night in the hut when they knew without saying it, that they loved each other ... was that night only a dream? A dream come true ... till reality broke it ... and again they had to part ...
And she disappears even as he cups her face ...
He looks around for her ... she comes running from behind and holds him tight ... the way she was trying to hold on to him at the airport, to stop him, never let him go ...
Ek duje se hue juda, jo ek dooje ke liye bane ...
Teri meri meri teri prem kahani hai mushkil
Do lafzon mein yeh bayaan na ho paaye ...

And this time he doesn't leave, he holds her close and reassures her ...
Teri meri baaton ka har lamha sabse anjaana
Do lafzon mein yeh bayaan na ho paaye ...

But she has to go ... again ... with one last backward look ...
Another separation coming ...? But no MU this time ... a separation neither one of them wants ... she leaves with a last longing look, she doesn't want to go, but she has to ...

And Arnav returns to the present and sinks down again as his alter ego wakes up with a start ...
'Khushi!!!'

And Khushi at the poolside startled looks around instantly ... he called her ... looks here and there ... till she realizes it was a dream ...
As does he ...

BS needs to get back into Arnav/ASR's skin soon ... he was struggling at the start of the song ... his first expression was very strange! Improved with the first grab-pull ;) ... The way the song started, it seemed more like Khushi's dream than Arnav's, with her fb's and none of his. The ending again was strange ... too abrupt ... and WT* ... he sinks down and buries his head??!!! So is Arnav just going to wait tamely to be rescued, and then do the mandatory dhishum dhishum with Shyam to save Khushi right at the end? All brawn, no brain? :( :( :(  Shit!!!!

But whatever ... am a sucker for Arhi romance ... and the song itself after the start was good. Khushi looked like a dream in the blue and white, with the barely there choli and never-ending bare midriff ... this was definitely part of Arnav's dream ;)

      Khushi in blue choli and why did we not have any FB's for ODB.. it looked so abrupt for him to start dreaming !!
      it looked more of Khushi's dream than Bitwa's

      Delete
    5. J,

      Khushi in blue choli was a perk. The main point was O Daiyya Ho - trust me I ccould have jumped up and down in glee at that last self gloating scene of creepwa

      I shall requote from Tridev
      "Khayaalon Main tum kho na jaana
      Mere dushmanon so na jaana
      Ke madhhosh tum ho na jaana
      Zara aaj ki raat bhaari hai tum par
      Ke Toota hai koi sitaara.."

      Aaru,
      agree the 5 days of real time is what seems to be left

      Geetu,
      One way or another end of this week or maybe even midweek it will end. It will be perhaps 18 days of Arnav's kidnapping in IPK time - days may fly too in narnia.

    6. oh ok....i thought 18 days more....

      but i loved the episode...khushi-snake mind games was awesome...... finally khushi is being at the right place at the right time.... and using her brains and keeping NK in loop.....

      Anji-Khushi MU base is being laid out nicely, isn't it ?

      hmm.. was that why khushi was looking at stars? she did not even remember her parents.. was fb-ing poolside scenes?

    10. Oooooooooh 2 hours challenge @cafe with Akaash!

      Now why din't anyone think of this before???

    11. Sama,

      When Arnav pulled the u get home else will get Payash divorced. At the cafe when she rushed to stop Aakash from signing.

      J,
      The stars are something she feels connects her to him because both of them are orphans.

      I was just telling Rekha in reply to one of her comments yday about that GH scene where in her letter, she bequeaths her stars to Arnav saying they are the only thing for him because of their common loss.

      Delete
    12. I don't think she met Roy ever, at the cafe it was a person from Roy's office

      Delete
    13. No @cafe was Mr. Roy ..... the one who came @RM when A lost his voice was from Roy's office

      Delete
    14. Ok, since i watched it online, did i miss this Roy part.....

      Did they actually show Khushi saying that she knows the Roy guy is a set-up?

      Delete
    15. Agree with Aaru, it looked more like Khushi's dream, especially with her very romantic fb's ... Bitwa's start was far too abrupt, why couldn't they show him having fb's also? It was only clear it was his dream at the end, when he called out Khushi's name.

      Whatever ... ArHi romance ... bring it on! We're starved here!!!

      Delete
  2. sandy ...
    and charkarvuy was on the 13 day and its Arnav's 13th day in captive ...

    Thank god khushi has kept NK in loop and Shyam convinced that Khushi hates Arnav ! yes that speaker and CDs did have its use there, as usual Anji had to give the clue and paani pherna on VRL's plans..

    But one thing is the game is getting interesting and dangerous !
    BTW
    A thought will Mami come to know about shyam from Bauaji ?? as Khushi gave mami clue that the Balika Vidyalaya is near Bauaji place when she won't get any updates from K and NK she will start her own investigation again sitting at home ??

    I was expecting those lines of Teri Meri songs.. so happy but didn't do much for me ...

    1. Typo error I meant Buaji and the song did not appeal, may be need a rewatch for to understand like Aaogaye Sajana ..

    2. Aaru,

      I thot the same but was not sure but if it is 13th day then all the more shiddat for that chopper waala ASR!

      yep was happy to see the section of the song I wanted from Teri Meri.

      But wasn't it a long standing wish that they need to look up at the stars at the same time (ok u guys said together at GH with chai ki pyaali) but they looked up at the stars together and thought of each other nonetheless.

      Delete
    3. Sandy If BITWA could look at the stars, that means there is a window and if he can break a window grill earlier, why not now. And also atleast jhaank kar toh dekhay kahana hai, try to figure out where he is, or start throwing something. He is sitting like a Rapunzel on the tower....Minus the gel and all...

      Sorry guys, I am in a bit of a negative mood today aren;t I, I better come back later:)

    4. Shwethu,

      Why are you negative - a gloating well is always the harbinger of good news. I cannot seem to think past creepwa today!

      Delete
    5. I meant gloating villain

      People People the dream sequence was for IF because the run up to the confrontation is going to be ugly.

    6. Shwetha bitwa WAS NOT looking at the stars .... isiliye cvs made him go dreamy way!!

    7. ROFL
      Shwets .. exactly if he could see the starts, then why isn't he breaking the window and doing something ??? and

      Sandy I didn't even notice Bitwa looking up to the stars !, that part so abrupt with the whole ASR getting up in white ... I was what the heck with no FB's or looking up to the stars. As i always say give it few more seconds to complete the expression..
      And of course I wanted both of them gazing the stars.. but bitwa's side was just so ... agrhhh ..
      I demand one more star gazing with chai

      Delete
    8. There were no stars visible from his room..it was some bulb.....they looked like satrs for effect

      Delete
    9. Ok,

      moonlight was it then? and those 3 bulbs - reminded me of Khushi's suicide note and the 3rd star from the right dialogue..so maybe I thot he was looking at stars

      Delete
    10. Aaru..
      that dream started abruptly and ended silly....Arnav hunched and helpless...WT???Yaar pata hain kuch kar nahin sakta...why rub it in?

    11. sandy,

    12. I liked his Asha ki kiran comment....All this while, he thot he ha two battles on hand....wealth and Khushi...Noe he thinks Khushi is in so .....more gloating confirmed.....

    15. Am not going to think about the Teri meri now .. two things that I noticed is khushi and Nk know that this is just the first step .
      And shyam's lines I will be the one to fullfill all your wishes. happiness,love,and badla. .. So shyam blowing his trumpet is soon to come! and end the war exactly as it did in mahabratha..

      Delete
    16. Aaru,

      Huggs even I saw that and was so happy. This gloat is going to confess to everything with his own mouth and grant Khushi her happiness and love with Arnav and badla on Shyam...

      and then Shyam will sing
      "O Meri Jaan O Meri Jaan
      Mujhko majnoo banaakar
      Kahan Chal Di Kahan Chal Di
      Pyaar Ki Pungi Baaarkar"

    20. Sama,

      Vina - destruction
      kaale - time
      vipareetha - counterprofitable or rather loss inducing
      buddhi - mind

      Means to say "when bad time is upon you your thinking gets warped or loses clarity and then your downfall is certain"

      Delete
    21. When destruction is destined, we work/go against our instincts/intelligence

    22. In short creepwa ki dhulai ..... "hum kuladi bhi apne per par dekh kar maarte hain" .... Not always creepwa not always!!!

      Will VLR get hurt too .... Anjali devastated .... Hence ArHi forced to keep mum .. not a good thing to give so many shocking news together is it ??

      Delete
    23. U know

      Anji seeing them go off together may come off later as Ani understanding that they went off together to search for Arnav and hid it from her so that she would not get worried.

      Anger at Khushi ki I already told you never to hide anything from me about chotey! and then also some anger at hubby to say how could you also lie to me..?

      or anger at khushi and shyam at having hidden it from her and then like that jalebi waala scene arnav pitcches in saying i only told them to keep quiet so as not to worry you - ofc akash is going to be mighty upset that khushi knew, mami knew but neither one told him..

      Delete
    24. Makes sense esp if VLR's role has to be extended beyond the confrontation
      One scenario where everyone comes to know except Anji.....thats not difi given her nature...as described above.

      Other scenario...well...it does not exist for now....becos that will involve her thinking that Khushi is a homebreaker...which i am sure the Cvs will not want to pursue now

      Delete
  3. trouble brewing.. signs of impending doom..
    shyams noose tightening..
    khushi seems to be one step ahead..
    snake on the dhadkan wala recliner.. (yes, we know it was supposed to be in sham's poolside, but directorji, you realize you're raping all the sacred arhi places..)
    sham holds khushi's shoulder, NK holds khushi's shoulder, did anjali do that too? gosh our bitiya deserves an award.

  4. Am I the only one who went WT* on the dream sequence.

    They shot it at the kidnapper's den....recgonized it by the bulbs.

    Did they just tear La's Blue dresses and made it into a blouse?

    Since when did ASR become a dreamer and a mourner. And Every time Bitwa has phislofied, she is wearing a saree......WT.

    So they took Hut wala curtain material stitched into a lehenga + dupatta and La's suit into a blouse. Truly a cut and stitch job.

    Final SHOT...Arshad Khan biiiiiiiiiiiiig danda....The sequence should have ended with ASR Looking up closing his eyes and leaning on the wall rather than a SP bahu...Who looks down and starts crying or whatever.

    Again last stanza...Was Barun trying to control his laugh or was that supposed to be a smirk.....Barun bitwa is a bit out of touch.

    Good news: Rest of the sequence he managed to Bring ASR cum Arnav back.

    Which means when he reports to duty, preferably after having watched an hour or two of ASR scenes to get out Sukhi out and ASR in his system........It shouldnt take him more than a day or two.

    Rest of the Epi - Was Damn Good!!!

    Loved Loved Abhaas & Sanaya chemistry there, they both truly rocked especially the scene where she looks one last time at him and he remembers the first time he met her...TOO GOOD!

    NK scenes were well done too. As expected it was Fake Roy Lawyer.

    I am personally loving the Mindgames between Shyam and Khushi........Although I really wanted them between ASR & Shyam, I am not complaining considering that ASR is sitting comfy as a Damsel, Oops I mean LORD IN DISTRESS. Oh well!!

    And to those who complained that they did not want Khushi as a typical SPLUS Bahu investigating and rescuing and all, I just want to ask, whose fault is it.

    Definitely not the writers or IPK Team. If ASR was around this would have been very differently handled, So I will get mad if someone starts saying Khushi is a typical SP Bahu, blah blah...

    So Anjali;s tubelight starts flickering...That was the only pleasant and unexpected surprise in the show.

    I loved it, happy that it was on expected lines yet delivered fantastically and sorry the dream sequence did not work for me at all.

    If it was for the TRP audience, the least they could have done was show it in the friday precap.

    Also, Barun was damn good with lip sync the first time around, here it was a bit off. Again, no issues cos Sukhi say ASR...Wont be easy.

    Isnt his movie shoot over...Is he taking a bit of a break before he resumes shooting?

    Sorry folks, had a very hectic weekend and today and tomorrow have loads of errands to run. Will try my best to be there tomorrow, if not Sanday Danda mat maar yaar, kindly adjust:)

    Looks like I have more than made up for my absence here though, lol.

    2. Shwethu,

      Yep BS needs to get into teh skin of the character again. Even I felt the start of the song was a bit off but then he caught on.

      And why no Fri precap - cos they shot it on Sat rrey! Thats why the FB spoiler pic.

      And as to why he looked down instead of up in the sky - gut feeling are we getting another scene of him looking up like he did that night he rose from the ashes sometime soon?

    3. aaaah whats wrong with ASR & choli .... din't quite get that ???

      I loved it ..... not for bitwa onscreen but his thoughts of his wife ..... smiling loving as she always is but he fears somethings just gonna take her away from HIM!

    4. Nothing per se wrong with the seq...in fact BS_SI took it to a wonderful level with their comfort with each other....the chemistry was scorching as usual...

    7. Sama,

      Today there was a FB of Shyam recalling his first meeting with Khushi.

      The TM seq reminded me of Khushi landing in Arnav's arms wearing a ghagra choli and then at the mazaar / dargah in white - it seemed he warped the 2 memories

    11. Sandy the ghagra which Khushi was wearing on first meet was green !! and yes the pattern was same .. and the white duppatta reminded me of both hut and dargaa ..

      Delete
    12. Aaru,

      what i meant was she wore a ghagra then and in today's scene - colour toh i know that was green. Oh pattern was same?

      Actually someone wondered why not a saree and then I felt if it is all about starting at the start, ghagra fits!

      See initially Arnav used to recall Khushi in that red saree - more of infatuation
      Now its been whites and gradually some blues - more of innocence, purity, loyalty, sincerity

      And in that dargah scene Arnav was in black - perhaps seen as evil and even a mystery but now even he is in white

      Start and end of the song didn't work for me ... too abrupt, why couldn't they start with Bitwa's fb's also, as well as Khushi's? And his first puppy dog expression was weird!!!

    1. Shweths,

      Dream seq...bolt from the blue...literally too
      Tu ne sab bol diya toh main bhi chup nahin rahungi...

      BS_SI did the job very well...no complaints there, in fact i thot BS's lip sync was better this time becos last time around he was mouthing his lines wide open. I thot he did fairly gud job and luckily he behaved like ASR for most part in his dream, thankfully, none of that running around nonsense

      Only awkwardness is the way the seq starts and ends, more a directorial thing....what was that jerky movement when Khushi grabs Arnav from behind? I nearly jumped out of my chair....LOL

      Even I felt start was a bit jerky but the li sync from Teri Meri was fine..will rewatch later obviously.

      Have a feeling that it is to explain to the TV audience that if he is having dreams about her then his MU about her has eroded and kind of justifying that ILU. Humne toh yahaan itnk bak bak ki hai but the mango junta might have wondered too...

    5. Haan haan correct...we live in a diff world....u know my sis-in-law also watches IPK and when she was here with me, i was bursting with ideas to discuss on IPK when she said she loved it.....but i realised she watches it purely as it unfolds.....not really bothered about all this MU/Non MU...stigma etc

    6. My husband's bhabhi who is visiting, joined me last night as soon as she got back ... she watches it too. Her only comment was - voh mila ki nahin? about Arnav ...
      But she sat and watched the show with total interest after that comment ... so I guess aam junta is not so bothered as we are. The only problem was she started talking during the song ... I couldn't concentrate!!! :D

    IPK ko yeh ho kya gaya hai .... They are moving story in a dsay to a level which they din't do even in a week before kidnapping track started.

    And hamare villainwa ka kya kehna ... Ab aya hai form mein ... jab uski band bajne wali hai .... Ab toh bitwa ne spinach dose bhi le liya hai .... Ufff muscles !! tu toh gaya Shyammu ..... Sandy I guess you are right ... I am loving Shyaamu ... How goods was the gloating scene .... red hot ;)

    So relieved that NK was there and they gave thorough explanation about thew money thing ... as she wants to return money back to DSi this clearly explains why she din't lie to pay the PDA .... Sab bohot budiya hai :D

    Miracle happened too .... Anjali bitiya is thinking about something her hubby said .... actually she had to see otherwise ... this is a first in the show???

    Shall I add ... IPK is the best assembled team ... Looks &most importantly acting .... Just the right amount ... So as BG says *nazar utarofying*

    1. Am really looking forward to a wrap-up of the kidnapping track not just so that the story moves forward, but also (hopefully) it means less use of body doubles (BD) :-( seriously tried to focus in on expressions, as Dia suggested here, but did not work for me at all! The airport meeting, warehouse grill reunion and hut scenes were so marred by the glaringly obvious BDs compared to pre-April epis when the use of BDs were negligible.

      I guess the TM song is an IPKKND signature given that they probably have an ousting of Shyam by team ARHI (post Sanaya's return from her well-deserved break after being shot on screen - any idea on how long that is expected to last?), Shayam-Anji breakdown & resolution, followed by the mysterious past to be unveiled - enuf material for IPKKND to last another year without losing steam and more than enuf reasons for multiple splits/rifts/etc, Rekha.

    2. Aki,

      Personally, am of the belief any love story must not overstay its welcome.....in other lapse into the mundane....its not to mean that mundane things don't happen to people in love...its just that sometimes such powerful stories run out of steam after the tale of love has been told.....

      Luckily, ARHI have a long way to go just becos their tagline...their mysterious past that they have managed to keep under wraps for so long...so i hope they have a long way to go...At the same time, after this mother of all MUs is resolved, I can't imagine ARHI Muing each other on any matter.....In fact they must have a blanket ban on MUs....they can other fights and stuff.....

      Delete
    3. There can never be any more MUs between them after this but separation is in the fate of star crossed lovers!!

      Delete
    4. I actually don't like the term star-crossed lovers....it scares me.....i feel terrible that two people in love want to be together and some external force keeps them apart...when IPK was being advertised....i used to purposely avoid the term star-crossed in the write-ups..Just to be happy, i used to say..."haan, these guys don't know the meaning of the term, it can't be"

      I hope they will have a happy ending whenever it is......

    5. Rekha,

      Yes the word does have a doomsday knell to it but like the song says
      "Teri Meri Meri Teri Prem Kahaani Hai Mushkil" It says difficult not impossible and like the original character it was picturized on may these 2 after bearing their share of separation, come together for a happy as can be happily ever after

      There will be separation, but will it be emotional or physical? Happy ending will only be at the end of the show ... but we need some mini happy endings before each new set of troubles start ... we need to see the love in the middle of the separations.

      Also will there ever be actual HATE again? Doesn't seem likely now, the way they are yearning for each other.

  11. ok girls a random thought .. on the end of this kidnapping ..

    We all agree that Khushi has to be hurt or is going to get hurt while saving Arnav .. Now I have been reading everyone’s take here and also watched the hut scenes and also the "I am sorry" and today the dream sequence .. This may sound crazy and weird and unacceptable but I had to put this ...
    We all know that when ASR is raged and in fury he doesn’t see anything , nothing matters to him... and we know the junoon of ASR when some one hurts his Khushi.. So when ASR comes to know about Shyam being the one to kidnap and manipulate everything .. he will be unstoppable even by khushi .. so if in that junoon what if points the gun in front of shyam instead of the other way around as we all have been expecting??
    And although Khushi would love arnav to do that, she would want to save him from being the murderer of his own jijaji.. and will come in between for the sake of him and his Di??
    Why I want this because of what Arnav said in the I am sorry call -- that he didn’t want to hurt her, but it was beyond him , he would rather hurt her than stand seeing someone else hurting his Khushi ...
    For Arnav to go on RTR it has to not only for the present hurt but each and everything he did to Khushi.. he has to know that ! and the impact will be triple fold as it was is anger that destoryed khushi before and now its the same anger which has brought her to the death bed exactly like the way he laid hay on her !

    2. Hmm Aaru,

      anger...

      slight variation. arnav hears it all. shyam realizes how he has been duped and then points gun at khushi (his office waala if u obstruct my way i shall destroy u) and arnav gets enraged that shyam would dare an attempt to hurt his khushi. gets into a tussle with shyam and gun fires resulting in khushi getting shot - uncertainty on who it was who pressed the trigger (though mostly it would have been shyam). Guilt from both ends at her being hurt and leverage for shyam to keep mum as he may just get handed to the police

      (Much like how arian gets hurt in the war of wands between dumbeldore and grindelwald and the guilt consumes dumbeldore all his life)

      Delete
    3. Aar
      Interesting but it also complicates matters.......If she comes in between with a plea....for Di....and he stops fine but not sure what it will achieve in their relationship but if she comes in between suddeny and gets shot....unacceptable
      Why?

      The mango junta will never like that heroine took the bullet for the villain...it won't be able to distinguish the layers that the very serious viewer can spot in this RTR business....

      RTR is more a requirement from these quarters...
      Viewers following the story very seriously every lay
      Gul's own vision

      If u see, Bitwa followers/droolers are going to cry at the first mile of RTR...

      Delete
    4. Sama thought itself freaked me out and hence I had to put it here !!

      Sandy maybe that much more clamed version then I thought .. and it would play out the same way as to who fired rather than shyam doing the needful.

      Rekhs
      I know for the mango junta it would be hard to digest .. and it needs layers for RTR .. yes they are going to cry hence I feel the RTR is going to be short one ... so atleast add layers to it ..

    6. Interesting take but would not that give more fuel to the MU fire being prolonged? i.e. Shyam can always twist the story in order to play with Arnav's mind that Khushi loves him (read Shyam) so much that she took the bullet....really would like 2 c the MU wrapped up....

      Aki

      Delete
    7. Aaru,

      What if?

      Shyam and Khushi met on the terrace (she is supposed toget stuck in this chakravyuha is it not). He tells her of his love yet again and in a recap of that terrace scene enumerates how he has always loved her. He goes on to gloat about how he planned and managed to remove the one obstacle in their path which was Arnav who had dared to hurt her. And Khushi gives him one tight slap and says that he does not deserve Di. Maybe she confesses how she had hoodwinked him all along only to get to Arnav (and Shyam reveals that this was the final test which Khushi failed and he now knows she is lying). He further tells her that it is all set that Arnav will die and because of those papers she signed he will convince the family that it was her plan and doing (who will believe NK against SHyam?). He will tell her he will convince everyone that he will tell the family that she trapped him and later when he refused she entrapped Arnav for money and then killed him for it. Her family will also be to blame and her sister's life will be ruined and she will be thrown out. He will remind her how he had once warned her not to try and put paid to his plans else he will destroy her which is what he will now do and all the wealth will be his (AR36K - Shyam will choose money over Khushi when he realizes he can only have one).

      Khushi will be broken that despite all her efforts she is again at a crossroads wherein she has to pander to the devil or see her sister's life ruined. Plus with Arnavi dead and without her being able to clear her name, she will feel life is not worth living. So she shoves SHyam aside and tries to jump from the terrace... (her dialogue that rather than have Shyam and my name taken in one sentence I would much rather die).

      Arnav in the meantime would have escaped from the KN clutches and sneaked his way to RM. For whatever reasons decides to go upto the terrace (or better still he sets up the redezvous with Khushi over the phone once he has escaped, Khushi sends NK to fetch him and they decide to meet at the terrace) .He agin witnesses a Shyam Khushi faceoff and hears all of the above and rushes in to save Khushi. He get a hold of her hand but she thinking its her delusion lets go anf Arnav has to actually see her fall down (ecall of the terrace suicide scene).


      Then Shyam ki dhulaai. NK steps in and reminds Arnav how Khushi needs him. NK hopefully would have captured all this on the camcorder.

      This leaves scope for NK-Arnav-Khushi teaming up against Shyam (who will be shaken up that Arnav and NK saw him and will lie low for a while). Arnav convinces her that he will pretend to hate her before Shyam whereas in reality all will be well.

      Khushi is in the hospital and Arnav starts his repentance. And keep haring from every family memebr how Khushi was out of her mind with worry when he was away adding to his already heavy burden of guilt. And just as Khushi is all ready to leave the hospital, she realizes he has been hiding away (despit their agreement to keep a MU pretense) and seeks him out (peetal ka bartan).


      Things will trudge along until Shyam realizes that Arnav and Khushi are on the same team and realizes that even the glimmer of hope that he had about Khushi and him uniting is gone. Then he will break open the nature of their marriage to the family (recall Grihapravesh morning) and ANji will throw a tantrum and say Khushi cannot be the bahu and so forth...unless Arnav marries her with full ceremony. And just like that she will again shoot down Shyam's plans. ANd at this time, Mami and Nani find out about the true reason for the forced wedding.

      He needs to be smuggled in because of the obvious state he will be in - so think back door up the fire stairs onto terrace kinds and then surprise the family next morning - but my scenes rarely ever come true. I was just looking for an option where Khushi does not get shot.

      This way the whole family wants to give love birds time and Arnav will of course sneak i or stay guard (presumably to ensure she does not meet VLR) and perpetual KMH di will finally arise and shine and thwat hubby's plans and keep dragging him home...

      Terrace because it is in that godforsaken place that teh moment has embedded itself in ASR's mind and I want it to unthaw and a new more powerful moment to embed itself in his mind there.

      Besides terrace is VLR's waterloo wrt ArHi. and of course DM mandir for Anji.

      Delete
    19. Sandy loved your version of the climax as to how the whole terrace confrontation will work out.. Filmy but logical. And let me add little more of that drama and cheese to it . Remember in one of our discussion we said that the suicide thing has to play out.. Khushi might egg shyam the same way to say out the truth. So am all for it except a little change . Khushi might stand on the parapet as you said and Bitwa would be hearing the whole confrontation from BG or he might in between the confrontation.. In doing so K might slip but hang on to the parapet.. Bitwa already anticipating that when Khushi is all set she would jump runs down. Shyam gives his hand to Khushi.. Instead of taking the creeps hand she leaves the parapet and falls.. thus playing out that I will die before my name is associated with shyam. In doing so she might hit her head to the wall and then falls down in the arms of our ODB just as always she has. Just this time bruised… thus having a new beginning. Only that the RTR of ODB will be just for MUing her .

      Why I wanted Khushi to save Shyam is for the very reason she hid the whole shyam’s truth.. I want her to do it for the same reason she it before ---- for him and his Di, I want CV’s to connect it to the very basic reason - the anji’s mangalsutra scene, her poolside breakdown with arnav after she comes to know about shyam , where she couldn’t say anything because she knew that he would have done the exact same thing as he is doing this day killed shyam , I want them to relate it the suicide- she did not come between his or his Di’s happiness ,just if he would have asked her the reason , for he would have believed her, I want ASR to know that its anger that blinded him from seeing what he was doing to her, it was/is the cause of all the emotional hurt which more than the hurt he gave with MU or hitting her at the hut.. I want it to be connect to what ASR said to La that I don’t think when I am angry and then when I do understand what I have done, I am sorry for it.. aasie hi hoon mai “ … want them to connect it to them to the chiitta scene. I want them to connect it to the I am sorry phone call, I want them to connect it the peetal ka barttan of nani.. I want him to hurt Khushi to get into that shell … Khushi can leave for all the reason you have said .. marriage sham, shyam’s last test etc.. for if Khushi is hurt saving ODB it will be ARnav that will going thru the RTR and not the ASR who has been the sole reason for her being in this stage … And for ASR to go thru that he has to understand what his anger and ego has done, what better way than to hurt her in an unintentionally way only because of his anger ??? For me the RTR has to be for both ASR for what he has done to Khushi due to his anger and ego - who did not give her a chance to explain, who did what he thought was right, who just saw what he wanted to see and Arnav the lover who has been helpless in hurting his love for the only reason he never had fate and trust in his love. That will make his RTR a hell .. and I would love to see that .. Sadist that I am .. Because I know that BS will take it to different level if it is executed well as they have been doing with Khushi at present .. crisp tight story telling ..

  12. Some thoughts:

    Khushi's FBs will not be shown to complete her affirmation of her acceptance of love now. See they did not even show Arnav's yet. They are building up the suspense for whether he will believe her or not when he realizes how she has duped SHyam to reach him.

    And then there will be some more guessing on whether she will forgive him or not because he "pretended" to MU her a second time.

    I have this feeling that in the SHyam Khushi Arnav confrontatin is where like today with FBs they will make Arnav recount it all after making shyam confess it all and then see Shyam crumble! ANd when he realizes na paisa na Khushi then he will surely lose it!

    They are building up teh suspense well. Just hope they keep it paced well and then when it all breaks, the wait would have been worth it.

      There are going to be eruptions when the confrontation happens....I have like Gul's vision until now....I am sure the path will not be as simple.

      If i remember correctly......at some point, they intended to show A going all out to win Khushi's love.. However, since they slipped up on Khushi's realisation, they could not hasten that track.
      Then came the "peetal ka bartan" moment when everyone claimed that bitwa will not be able to forgive himself an khushi will show him the way

      As u see, there are contradictory positions....only thing common is RTR....sense of regret for Arnav.....

      So, i am equally curious how will Gul's vision actually play out?

    2. Rekha,

      The peetal ka bartan moment will be part of the RTR.

      Wooing Khushi m- not very sure - unless it is akin to earlier - sangeet to payash wedding then it will be from end of RTR till ArHi wedding

      so then the forced marriage khulaasa has to happen soon after the confrontation coming up is it?

      Delete
    3. On wooing Khushi....it is contrary to the peetal ka bhartan moment so that cannot happen simultaneously, i agree...

      I said this becos, initially after the marriage,there was supposed to be a track as per zee spoilers that MU will intensify and when Arnav has his realisation, he will go all out to repent and woo....Now something has change in the tark becos i don't see that happening.....
      Unless the Cvs plan to surprise us....

    4. Rekha,

      track ka gul and team maailk..

      Arnav's when he has erred in the past and Khushi got hurt, he has also cared for Khushi -
      after guest house making sure she got home
      after nainital - making sure she had medicine and rest
      when she hurt her finger - rush to bandage
      on havan - ready to call for doc when she fainted

      and perhaps the cvs plan the wooing to be inbuilt part of the repentance

      He comes back he recalls how she cared for him that night and then every family member takes turns speaking of how she had a nightmare, how she made sugar free jalebis, watered his plants, shed innumerable tears and pine away for him. Each time he hears something it pricks him and he makes a gesture of affection - maybe gets jalebis delivered, sends her red roses, gets stars hung above he hospital bed, sends DM murthi to hospital, hangs up the wind chimes by her window so she is cheered by thier noise.

      She senses his presence behind it all but he is rarely there to meet her. He stays by her side at night as she is afraid of the dark but then leaves before she wakes up. He goes back to maybe pushing back a strand of hair of holding her hand only when she is asleep.

      Bittersweet moments!

      But all this while the guilt is weighing him down more and more until one fine day it consumes him and he crumbles. Maybe Khushi has a lapse and is critical and the ever present fear of losing her surfaces. And then the only recourse is to go and fight with god (not get belief in god) but rather go and quetion DM on how she can claim the life of a girl who has always had such staunch belief in her. How she can write such a fate for a girl who believed every step in her life was written by her DM, how she can punish a girl as innocent as Khushi...

      ..and Khushi ever god's favoured child reaches the temple (aided by ample hints from DM) and tells him that her life is not a punishment but a blessing indeed for though she thought DM stood mute watching her being exploited by a raakshas, this raakshas has actually become her very life breath without whom she cannot live.

      and the intense one will just be a single epi of go to the middle of the road someplace and completely break down when she is hurt and critical.

      There is a one in a million chance this will happens. CVs will as usual just surprise us...

    6. Did you notice Shyam;s character brought up ehsaas today - he did not say pyaar but said "aaj humein aapki aankhn main phir woh ehsaas nazar aaya hai"

      My CCKKP moment for the day
      Shyam saying "Arnav na sivaay nafrat ke aapko kyaa diya hai" - If only he knew the truth

      Khushi's sharp look at Shyam when he says that.....akin to a "What do u know about that ehsaas, you who only knows to possess"

    8. Sandy I love this track of urs. I don't mind if the RTR comes with bittersweet memories as this will bring them closer still and make him understand every little thing that makes her what she is.

      It will be really nice to see the mandir scene if it happens.... I want it happening in fact *SHIDDAT* it is only fair for them confess their love in front of the DM who khushi believes has written her destiny and believes that she has held his hand to write his. It only fair they confess their love in front of the DM who is the only witness to their marriage, is the only one who has known all long that they are made for each other, who has always created situations to bring them closer and closer still.... It is this holy place where the purity of their love and feelings should be brought forth.....

  13. what an episode...!!!Nk-khushi together in the plan...good... fake Mr.Roy...khushi a step ahead of the creep...loved the way khushi come to know about Arnav phone call truth...i am repeating Krish words her "khushi is as good an actress as Sanaya" but somewhere i feel Shyam may come to know all this is a plan before the final A-K-S final showdown...we will have to wait and see how CVs have planned it...whichever way - hope it happens soon now....

    dream sequence worked for me...!!!maybe bcoz i am thinking OVER POSITIVELY now that KN track seem to be ending soon...:))
    scene started with Khushi missing Arnav...bitwa feel it - his beloved wife remembering him...

    Arnav automatically rise up from within ASR...to me the dream seq appeared as their journey till date - they met...feel something for each other...came so close on Diwali...then separated(first time khushi move away in song)...again came close on Payaash wedding when Arnav realized his love and was about to confess but just then terrace scene happened and Arhi again separated(kyun tune mujhe aisa khwaab dikhaya jo haqeeqat mein usse todna tha - lyrics were so apt from Arnav POV at that moment...also khushi didnt move away this time she disappeared from Arnav's view bcoz of MU parda)...but as soon as khushi learnt the reason for marriage - saw his hurt...she came running to him just like she came to him at airport and, after his KN, at the first warehouse - hugs and hut scene happened....but then again they are separated(as they stand now...dying to be with each other) - khushi away at RM and Arnav at KN place...
    bitwa returns to his senses...call out her name which bitiya(already lost in their past romantic close moments) hears/feel and run around to see where it came from...the scene ends from where it started....

    i know it was not perfect(just for TRPs maybe) but still it was good...

      I liked you rtake on the dream sequence. Nicely done bey!

      Like you I am also waiting for the dhamaaka..

    3. wow ayesha, mindblowing!! you gave a full story to the sequence.. and i have a feeling the director meant something along those lines... but i have to admit that all i saw was hotwa and his hotwa dream (is it getting hot in here?)

      p.s. is it just me or does anyone else feel that sanaya's sexy expressions are totally off? in the hut, in the dance, even in the original teri meri(but there, it was allowed because she was flustered more than aroused... not so in the hut or in today's dream..)

      Delete
    4. Ayesha,
      I asked why they she went away from Arnav twice.....now i know why....

      Nice nice...and i agree with J that it must have the same meaning for the writer of today's scene as well...

      On SI expressions....this is my take for the two scenarios

      In the hut scene she couldn't act coy....they were hardly sharing that kind of vibes and neither were they in that state in their relationship....IMO it was a cross between shyness and a feeling that perhaps it was not the right time......if seen like that, to me SI potrayed the right exp..Now if the director wanted to convey something else, i am not then sure

      As for today, if what Ayesha says was to be conveyed.....then again SI has done the job....becos she portrayed pretty much the significant points in their relationship....lets also not forget, it was Arnav's dream...maybe thats how he wanted Khushi to respond to him..

      Delete
    5. Ayesha beautifully written.
      The dream seq did not realy work for me but after raeding your take, I will watch again with this in mind.

      What worked in the dream seq for me, the colour blue and white for Khushi. Blue colour of sky also reflected by water (read ocean). Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependeble and committed. As we have all said and agreed that A now trusts K symbolising blue... Bitwa depends on bitiya in more ways than one, emotionally he is completely dependent on her, he always was dependent on her emotionally. Committment K's to A and A's to K. because it's A's dream it's his committment to her.

      Blue is also the colour of throat chakra which encourages spiritual communication. A and K have always felt an unexplained pull towards each other and the pull has grown with time so much so that K could also understand his unsaid words when he lost his speech. He only has to call her name and she can hear him....

      In India, lord krishna is also often depicted in blue (blue skin) and as we have discussed over the weekend K and A will interchange their roles as Krishna and Arjuna. When he is on his RTR it will be Khushi krishna) showing him the way.

      White - colour of purity an cleanliness. White also evokes purification of thoughts and enables fresh belongings. Khushi in part white as she neverMUed Arnav but could not understand his love. She understands it now much better than before. He is moving from being shaitan to rajkumar very rapidly. Arnav in all white, he MUed khushi and although he does not know the enormity of his actions he has started the cleansing process. He is more willing to tust khushi, more will to listen to her, more willing to understand her. White also is the colour of peace.... finding peace and solace in each others arms.

      Jaya agree with you that SI's expressions in sexy sensual scenes are a bit off. She looks a bit uncomfy. I guess the story is slowing inching towards romance phase and hopefully she will pull it off as beautifully as she pulls off the intense and emotional scenes.

    6. UJ loved ur analysis of colours...Arnav surely moving to all white for Khushi...reminded me of Holi when he was in white and blue...does that mean shaitan to rajkumar process(dil vs dimaag) started back then...
      Sanaya's expressions did look a bit off on first watch(on first teri meri and hut scene looked perfect to me)but Rekha's view make me see it in different light..its Arnav's dream and thats how he expected her to respond...(all her feelings and dhak dhak never shown clearly to bitwa till KN)....
      dnt think Sanaya was uncomfy...actually i feel BS SI are quite comfortable with each other...thats why such a mindblowing onscreen chemistry between the two...they did that Blackmail chipkofying scene so perfectly - gave me more sensual feeling then even the hut scene....

      Jaya...it surely is getting HOT here...bitwa ke darshan durlabh ho gye hain aaj kal...iss time aise darshan honge to kuch aur kahan dikhega humein - only hotwa hero...going to watch the dream seq again... that hug from khushi when she came running from behind ....hayyyyyeeeeeeeee.......

      Lovely take on the colours. The story started with Arnav in all black and today he was in all white.

      Whereas Shyam when he started was all white and light pastel shades but he is now wearing black or dark shades.

  14. first and foremost -
    - i bow to thee oh R&R ladies - wow - you girls actually connected the dots of the CD and the recorded train and mandir bells - i thought the train and mandir bells must have been sounding before the ASR call so could not be a setup - but wow - you ladies nailed it!!

    - i don't think there is any debate today - was a great episode and i am satisfied that ODG has her second in command up to pace with all that is happening!! me satisfied!

    _ But have to add - ODG figuring out the phone call was planted was very well done!! logical and well shown - wow - CVs are actually thinking!!!

    - don't have the time today to read through all post - will do so at easy - only want to comment on Shwetha post - Yes ODG is acting like a typical SP bahu (though today i am happy that she has her comrade along) - and ODB is the damsel in distress here - but no i do not agree that it is BS's fault - i for one cannot let the PH and CV off the hook here - see ODB&G are just actors - they do as they are told - its the CV that create the 'story' - plus they are all media people - so its not like they did not know how long ODB's movie would take or what they need to do with this break - they gave him permission to leave - he did not go Awol! Now it was the CV's job to show - whatever bits they had of ODB doing something useful rather than putting him to use only to satisfy the fan-girls with the hut scene, the dance, the dreams etc - i mean ODB was there for shoots - so why not show his side of the story (his bits) rather than the song and dance bit - My point being - we really cant blame BS for this - its not like he refused to do shots that were 'logical!'
    it is the reprehensibility of the PH to create the story and the responsibility of the actors to deliver!

    Aaru - the way the CV are surprising us with logic and 'thinking' - will not be surprised if your scenario comes true - that ODB accidentily shoots ODG - that would start and complete the RTR as it would nearly kill the poor boy! + if they want to expose Shyam- - this will act as a very good diversion for him to run away when ODB is too fixated with ODG (but then he will be stuck on her health irrespective)

    1. Mona,

      I know all shaatir dimaag here on R&R.I for one thought the sounds were real because ASR said baar baar but after today's epi realized he also said pata nahi..

      Plus in my first imporession I forgot the KN phone was stuck with him. Now hope that it is still with him as I understood after the rewatch.

      They have a plan and they just had to get that BS SI scene in today. So then what are th planning for the rest of this week? Fri is 22nd June.


      But yeah like u said, IPK team suddenly seems to have grown brains and inherited some accelerators. I sincerely hope they are overly sesitive to ensure no laks so the big dhamaak is not diluted and also that the dhamaaka is a real big one.

  15. Wow loved the episode. The dream sequence was brilliant - romantic, yearning, longings . I really thought it was good. Pleased that NK has been kept in the loop. Want Mami to be included in some part of it now. What can I say about shyam. He is,one crazy, misguided, mental case, but very dangerous with it. Waiting for Dia's edit, and digesting all the comments which are always mind blowing.
    Thank you all

  16. Thoroughly enjoyed the episode today.
    Of course bitwa's appearance is always a treat since his kidnapping.
    Anji wondering about VLR and K now that's a first for Anji to think otherwise about her husband. Is it the foundation for next track - Anji MUs K and her hubby? Shyam then cooks a story that K led him on, A of course stands with K and hence a rift between the siblings. A and K walk out of RM? thereby Arnav's asking akash to take care of di and khushi (read as di's khushi)?

    K and VLR scene was briliant.
    Khushi re-itrating that she hates both of them. I almost believed her that she is playing games not just with shyam but also with her hubby. Of course we all are safe in the knowledge that she is not playing game with A. The way K tells VLR about A's phone call was beautifully woven into the convesation. It flowed very well. Conveys him how desparately she wants to find him for the success of her plan (plan - romance :)) Abhaas was excellent in this scene and sanaya was very good too.

    She tells VLR ki koi bhi KN ho sakta hai and look of satisfacion of VLR's face happy in the knowledge that he is not on her radar will make him all the more over confident I think.

    'mar gai woh khushi' reference to death again is it just metaphoricl or will she surely get shot? this has been discussed at lengths in R&R and generaly evryone feels she will get hurt in some way or the other or is it just that the naive child like, innocent khushi is no more and a smart, shrewd and hoodwinking khushi has emerged? Need to re-watch....

    Happy that K brings NK up to speed.
    did she read what she signed?
    Are those papers that she signed today just a red herring or will it be used in the future?
    did not like 'aap aur un mein koi farq nahi hai'
    don't want VLR being compared with A.
    Loved the look of disgust on her face when LR expresses his boundless love for her.
    Off for a re watch.

      On that reading, hope her comment to NK that they were naqli papers.....does not come to bite her but I am hoping that since she was never had any control on AR assets, any signature by her is really void...
      On her mar gayi......I don't mind a smart Khushi but the CVs will want to keep her quintessence alive.....she may be shown to be more trusting of arnav(acceptance of "Tum sab kuch akeli nahin kar sakti") I really hope they show that graph....of their romance. intelligently that too

    2. Given all the nakli floating around, I think she signed it KKG and not KKGSR

      As for what they could be a new duplicate will SHyam has made naming Khushi as the benefactor on Arnav's death. Khushi does not know of the codicil in case of his unnatural death.

  17. Teri Meri Reprise

    Hands folded she stood by the poolside gazing into the depths of the pool as if searching for hidden depths in the actions of the one she loves. Her stance a reminder of Arnav whom she once cornered by this very pool in a similar way asking if he got her the red bangles. He once told her she did not have the brains to be an ASR but to rescue her mate, she has begun to use mind games and somewhere that innocent sweet Khushi has changed (died).

    Looking up to see a lone star twinkling, stars whom she had once told him were their parents specifically his mother - was she seeking reassurance that all will be fine? And then the memories flash - her surprise and an unspoken emotion when Arnav put on the payal at Diwali, the butterflies in her stomach and emotion thathad risen unbidden when he came close and cupped her face, the frisson of pleasure and surprise when he kissed her

    (the last 2 FBs I think she has never had but all 3 today were more from how she had felt in each of these situations, her feelings, her emotions)

    Knees bent, hands clasped sat a one proud man who believed he wrote his detiny. Trapped and alone, he looks up into the darkness as if hearing her heart call out to him. (There were seemingly 3 stars; the bulbs; in the bak but he was shown against just the one which was 4rd from the right) She once told him she would never be like him as she had a heart but increasingly emotions have been having a say in his actions. The ASR within Arnav is gradually opening his arms wide to embrace Khushi.

    Letting his mind drift, he immediately thinks of the angel in his life - Khushi the ever smiling enchantress. And as the strains of the song begin, he begins to walk towards her and she in return for the first time walks towards him too. They have begun to walk towards each other ("Ek ore badhne lagain hain" yeh Ishazaade)

    "Teri Meri Meri Teri Prem Kahaani Hai Mushkil"
    Where he stood opposing her at a tangent, he has now moved to face her. Their paths are merging and they stand facing each other having traversed travails of love

    "Do Lafzon Main Yeh Bayaan Na Ho Paaye"
    And he pulls her to himself with a sense of 'haq'. Theie story is long and has seen many turs, few words alone would not do them justice

    "Ek Dooje Se Hue Judaa Jab Ek Dooje Ke Liye Bane"
    He acknowledges that they were forced apart by circumstances when they have always belonged with each other. He moves around only to come back to her as if saying his life revolves around her, as if saying she is his life force and anchor. He left her in Lucknow only to come back to her in Delhi.

    "Teri Meri Meri Teri Prem Kahaani Hai Mushkil"
    "Do Lafzon Main Yeh Bayaan Na Ho Paaye"
    A love story that began with hate and culminated into a relation of boundless passion and affection. An untold attraction that has always bound them and brought them closer time and again. Their paths crossed as employer and employee multiple times and there was no denying the untold pull between them.

    However, the first time they came close, neither was unable to understand the passion and attraction. She moved away albeit with some sadness and he let her go. Yet both yearned and longed for each other.

  18. Teri Meri Reprise (contd)

    "Tumse Dil Jo Lagaayaa Toh Jahaan Maine Paaya"
    "Kabhi Socha Na Tha Yeh Meelon Door Hoga Saaya"
    (this part was not lip synced becaused Arnav's emotions at this time where non verbalized. He knew it in his heart)

    The attraction never died. Instead it just grew and the feeling of loss and incompleteness haunted him. He who thought he had the world in his hand when he gave her his heart, suddenly found that she was no longer his shadow and they were miles apart. The separation agonized him.

    "Kyun khuda toone mujhe aia khwaab dikhaaya jab haqeeqat main use todnaa tha"
    Yet again circumstances forced them to join hands to unite their siblings. ANd somewhere along the way their lives enmeshed and unbidden feelings crept up and entwined them. Just as their dreams were on the verge of coming true, life dealt a cruel blow shattering and scattering these dreams.

    And he bemoaned his loss, missed his partner, felt incomplete and there was so much angst in him that he was again a drifter in the high seas of life

    "Ek Dooje Se Hue Judaa Jab Ek Dooje Ke Liye Bane" (Khushi sings)
    All on a sudden she came wushign back to him and hugged him tight as if anchoring him and bringing stability to his life. And here is where Khushi had begun to realize that they were made for each other even though life kept separating them time and again. She had hugged him tight when she finally found him after thinking he was lost.

    And Arnav hesitatingly holds her hand and turns to face her as if he can hardly believe his eyes; that she came for him.

    "Teri Meri Meri Teri Prem Kahaani Hai Mushkil"
    "Do Lafzon Main Yeh Bayaan Na Ho Paaye"(Khushi sings)
    (And this is the crux of the matter because she never ever sang this line the last time. She only said Ek Ladka aur Ek LAdki ki Yeh Kahaani hai Nayee)

    And Khushi who has come loking for him speaks of their love story. Difficult yes but their story of love nonetheless. And 2 lovers reunited after a long time find solace in each others arms. They hold on tightly to each other afriad that if they let go, the tides will push them apart.

    "Teri Meri Baaton Ka Har Lamha Sabse Anjaana"
    "Do Lafzon Main Yeh Bayaan Na Ho Paaye"
    Hearing Khushi speak of her love brings a smile to Arnav's face. His happiness erupts and he speaks of the numerous shared moments that are only theirs.

    But this happiness agains seems short-lived. She walks away from him again with tears in her eyes and he can only silently watch her go with teras in his.
    He had had to let her go afte he met her when teh goons caught up but it also seems that son once they meet and confess their love for each other, life will again throw a cause for separation their way...

    As she leaves, gradually his breath stops and Arnav wakes up from his beautiful dream. Looks for her and as he cannot find her frantically calls out "Khushi"

    and she hears him across the void as if he had called from the very depths she was trying to delve into..

    And 2 hearts that beat only for the other can only feel the helplessness and pangs of separations even more keenly.....

    4. Sandy,
      Also I felt deeply with that “Khushi”
      Reminded me of bitiya’s nightmare where she is awoken with him calling for her.
      I felt there is a difference in ASR’s tone as he calls out her name in both the scenes.
      In the nightmare, it was as if he was still hurting from the betrayal, a kind of “ Khushi, why did U do this to me?”

      Here it was like “Khushi, don’t leave me again”

      So I hope the kidnap track is about to be wound up with both their dreams at the two ends.
      The first one was bitiya’s realization and the second one was bitwa’s.

  19. BDJ's dedication to all lovely ladies on R&R

    Tere Bin - from Bas Ek Pal by Atif Aslam

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6NnNv7XJYg

    "tere bin main yun kaise jiya
    kaise jiya tere bin

    lekar yaad teri raaten meri kati
    mujhse baaten teri karti hai chaandani
    tanha hai tujh bin raaten meri
    din mere din ke jaise nahi

    tanha badan tanha hai ruh namm meri aankhen rahe
    aaja mere ab rubaru
    jeena nahi bin tere

    tere bin main yun kaise jiya
    kaise jiya tere bin

    kabse aankhen meri raah mein tere bichhi
    bhule se hi kabhi tu mil jaaye kahi

    bhule na mujhse baaten teri
    bheegi hai har pal aankhen meri
    kyun saans loon kyun main jiyu
    jeena bura sa lage

    kyun ho gaya tu bewafaaa mujhko bata de wajah
    tere bin main yun kaise jiya
    kaise jiya tere bin"

  20. Hi Rekha

    Yes ia am still reading all the posts and watching arnav and khushi navigate around their love story with interest. And I have to admit that R&R is very addictive in a good way.
    Keep writing ladies as I am sure you have a lot of silent readers out there.

  21. Girls,
    Nice to see there is a celebration going on here.
    666- major dhamaaka- day of the devil’s undoing? OR
    666- master of deception?

    Like I have been saying, I am getting tired of mind games, please bring this to an end.

    And I am getting alarmed here.

    I really hope things go the perfect way you all have planned.
    Khushi cleared the test, but there is no joy in her victory.
    There was a lot of pain in the epi.

    My first thought- she knows where she is going. She is taking a painful step forward.
    And I know my heroine.
    She will go into the chakravyuh for her beloved. Question is, will she allow herself to be rescued by him or give herself up for his loved ones.
    Bitwa, by now I hope you know this about her too.


    Teri Meri- definitely not for the trp.
    They would have promoed it if it was so. Please don’t write it off like we wrote off the hut scene at first sight.
    After a long time, I felt the pain in Arhi.
    I couldn’t help asking, ”god, why is there so much pain in this love story? Kyun dard hain itna….?”
    This is the first time they have concentrated more on Arnav’s pain.
    And there is only love there now, no betrayal.

    The way ahead:
    Did the promo air today in a different form?
    Khushi wants to give back the money.
    I hope that will not be the same mistake as Shyam giving the CDs. (WT, villainwa?)
    Wait, Bitiya. You can always give it back later.

    Shyam- What is on his mind?
    CVs- Where is the love story? Where is the rain hug? WHEN???

      agree with you girls .. the suspense is actually killing now .. and the anticipation of the A-K-S showndown is making even the fast faced episodes more dragging ... but then they have to lay the ground work storng to get that final showdown .. guess we have to wait atleast this weekend

    7. I m fine sama.. :) doing just great! :)

      btw girls, I think I am one of the few for whom this dream sequence worked BIGTIME! :P hook, line and sinker.. :P :) hehe.. actually I didn't think there was anything wrong with Arnav's/ASR's/Barun's expressions... I think that uptil now, that is, before the hut scene..we have seen just his internal fight..he is atttracted towards this woman, but something is always stopping him..but now, we see his uninhibited, full fledged, accepted love for her.. obviously, people change even more when they get their love reciprocated by their lover..and when they are with their lover (and she is his wife).. his changed expressions didn't bother me much..infact I loved them.. :) as far as Sanaya's shyness is considered..well, she doesnt exactly fall in those shy categories like Payal..I mean, she is more of the bindaas type..plus now that she has accepted her love AND that she has got that reciprocated from him..I dont think she is going to be shy..infact far from it..:) like in her dream..she is going to be playful..she knows how to handle him..and he know that she know how to handle him too.. :) :)

      *sigh*..cant deny..m in love with them again.. :)

      Delete
    8. @sandy.. :) aww thank you so much!! well, I got engaged recently..so everybody wished me for that.. :) and yess, I am totally back.. :) just need to catch up on the previous episodes a bit.. I hope everything is fine at ur end.. :)

      HUGGS and CONGRATULATIONS!!! wow awesome news. jab there is personal dreamland then no wonder she was missing from ArHi dreamland. All the very best to both of you for a lovely journey together...

    11. yeah yeah.. people change expressions when they fall in love.. says the girl who just got engaged (wink, wink)

      but yes, that "uninhibited, full fledged, accepted love for her" might just be true.. front front looking what happenz.

      hmm.. khushi kumaari guptaa will not be shy.. i see possibilities :) oh i cant wait for that romance track.
      but in my mind, the arshi romance should happen somewhat like this..

    13. @Jaya.. *ignoring the winks* :P .. that ad is absolutely adorable!!! :) :) yes, I think in her dream it was somewhat like that.. she was a bit playful..he was himself.. :) I think they will take it back like that..once this kidnapping thing is done.. unless they put in some new misunderstanding.. but I hope not!

    15. Mads...loved what u said for the dream seq..."when they get their love reciprocated by their lover..and when they are with their lover "....so true...that unknown attraction was there since their first meeting but not accepted by either and both trying to stop themselves...now its totally accepted uninhibited flow of love from both sides....

  24. before the last teri meri, anrav taunted khushi, saying that she had no dimaag.. and she retaliated, saying he had no dil.
    today, we see khushi outwitting sham with her dimaag, and arnav in agony because of his dil. (beautifully said, Su and Sandy!)

    arnav is not worried about his fate, he is not worried about his di (the one whom he lived for, said even as recently as the road confrontation!) he is only worried of his khushi. yes, it was the lovebirds' longing that they tried to picturise .we had khushi at their poolside, remembering the sequence of his attraction to her... finally sifting those memories (from the many of him abusing her).. looking up at the stars..his reverence, his caress, his kiss..and thinking.. where are you?... and here he is.. lost in memories of her.. dreaming of her even when he's awake..the song describing how much he misses her.. and she disappears time and again.. and his intense longing vocalized in a shot.. that she hears, across the universe.. aakhir dil ki baat, dil ko pata hota hain.
    ------------------------------
    my rant about this scene is here, if you want to read it.. but i'd say dont read it because it really is a RANT.

    -----------------------------

    another thing that hit me.. khushi got the will signed by ASR for sham.. why? in exchange for sham's revelation... if khushi was so hell bent on revenge at that time, why would she ask sham to tell the truth? therein lies the chink in her revenge story to sham... now that he has blinkers on, he will not think back that far!

    1. jaya even if shyaam thinks that far khushi has covered her ground .... she said shyaam she hates arnav why .... cause even after trying so hard he never tried to understand her.

    2. J,

      "looking up at the stars..his reverence, his caress, his kiss" - hayyyeee

      hmm, good point and if Shyam is a samrt villain that point will come back to him and Khushi will need a good rejoinder to pass that test - OR - it does come up and he says that her revenge is in contradiction to her need for sign and she manages it somehow and that is where the promo of apology plays out.

      Deluded shyam can be shown to forget i but the real fun will be if he recalls it and khushi passes that test too

      Delete
    3. sama, that was after he left.. sham has firsthand knowledge of how heartbroken she was when arnav left to go into the airport.. if khushi was planning on hoodwinking arnav, she would not be that sad.... but it is a good thing that the CVs never have used logic.. so i can assume that shyam will never realize her deception, unless at some crucial final moment of the confrontation. err, hope so!

      Delete
    4. Sandy and J
      like sama or some one said she has already covered that ground by saying that Arnav did not understand her even after she telling him the truth and did not trust her, hence she will take the badla now by doing exactly what he accused her off ..
      @sandy did you read my reply to your take on terrace confrontation ??

      Delete
    5. "Deluded shyam can be shown to forget i but the real fun will be if he recalls it and khushi passes that test too" SHIDDAT!

      aaru, clarifying my point.. khushi said arnav did not believe her, ruined her life etc.. so she wants revenge.. now if she was plotting revenge, she would not be THAT desperate for sham to corraborate her story on the day of his departure!

      Delete
    6. J,
      U r the original BBE.....and actual more than BBE, i like the logic u bring to this exercise....

      when they showed Khushi going all out now for badla.....u r right they have not spent much time on that thot process for Shyam on why she was keen to get him to tell the truth....

      While ur point is right, the situation rings hollow but what i bought in to was the phrase of Khushi....on "Woh hamein samajh nahin paye".....meaning that I never wanted to be misunderstood, or be in this position, being the gud girl, i was ready to accept my fate but i have only faced insults along the way forcing me to re-think.
      Having said, it is a bit tenuous and anyone can question this volte-face but i guess the story had to move some way and the CVs have made a brave attempt to provide some ans, so i am cutting slack.

      Delete
    7. Jaya,
      I don’t think it will come up. She has already made herself clear that she hates both of them and she wants to take revenge by taking all of Arnav’s money.
      She is willing for this tie-up now only because she finds herself helpless in face of the kidnap, and here too she made it look like it was his initiative.
      Brilliantly played!
      She was 'desperate for sham to corraborate her story on the day of his departure' because that was essential to gain ASR''s trust. She still hated Shyam too then.
      Look at me going!!! I don't even know what I want now!
      I want this to END!

    4. well actually, no one knew the name of the girl in the publicized video.. thats how it was portrayed.. and did you hear , everyone in the family went for teerth yatra... even akash, it seems!!

      and p.s.. there was renovation happening in his offive then! they renovate the office every six months or what?

    5. agree with you J that no one knew the name didn't she see even the face of the girl and relate to K , and man she was planning his wedding with K even then .. and yes Teerth yatra akash went as bodyguard for all the oldies !!!

      yes his office renovation was happening even then ROFL !! man I dont want a renovation of Arhi room if its going to take so long .. just a ghar shanti is more than enough !!!
      or the renovation can take as long as it wants and ARhi can shift to GH then .. at least they wont have KMH's and only one share a bed !!!

      Delete
    6. well, i wanted ASR to reclaim his bed when he came back from GH.. saying that if we can share that tiny bed at GH, we can share this one too.. why, why did he choose to sleep on the uncomfortable recliner again!!

      the merger VM did not look that good, mainly (i think) because 'chap gaya he voh pal" the dance sequence i can describe in my sleep now.. (blush)

  27. “does anyone else feel that sanaya's sexy expressions are totally off? “

    Jaya,
    I really like your question, because now I know why I could see mostly only Barun in the hut scene and y’day’s teri- Meri.
    But Sanaya is a wonderful actress and I am sure she will be comfortable with these scenes.
    I think we have to think that the director wants Khushi to act like this. After all she is only 18 years old and even for that age she is very innocent. She is not yet fully aware of that feeling of sensuality. And bitwa knows this.

    (‘Jiski bansuri ki dhun sun mujhe jawaan hone ka ehsaas hua, jiski sirf ek nazar se mujhe khud ke hone ka ehsaas hua’- sheer poetry in HR scene- He knows she is just getting there!)

    Every time there has been physical proximity between the two, she is the first one to break the spell. In fact, he just freezes during those moments.(The bindi- kiss, recliner scene, first shared smile etc.)
    I like this thought even more when I remember this is bitwa’s dream sequence and he is remembering every minute detail of her, even how she would react. This ‘kidnap’ has done you a lot of good, bitwa.
    Of course, as usual you have your jijaji to thank for this. Every time he tries to get you apart, you get one step closer!

    I really liked your question a lot, Jaya.
    Next time I will watch teri meri keeping this in mind- Maybe I will see less of the pain!

    1. Frankly, no one has seen ASR dreaming before, poor guy never gets a chance to mouth any of his thoughts, he is told he has be always in ASR mode, even in love, even when in doubt, even when insecure, even when in pain, even when in sweat, even when in captivity....tall order that!!

      So, anytime, ASR smiles or doesn't have that famous smirk, we think we are seeing BS/Sukhi...In a way, IMO, not fair to the actor BS, who has always brought the character of ASR alive on screen(majorly...)
      Lets accept we have not had the chance of seeing an ASR in love (we saw glimpses but circumstances were diff, that was an ASR, invincible but this ASR is not that; he has a had hard knock....How will this ASR be the same in love....there are bound to be changes and when the romance comes on, believe me, u will also have cringe moments becos all of us may not buy into that persona....

      Its not that our expectations are wrong or unfair but just that the character ASR is one of a kind. So unless, we write scenes, we will always find the result a bit short on expectations...POOR GUY!!
