So much happened in July!!! 
Some of my most favorite episodes and scenes.
IPKKND July 2011
The office challenge begins ... Arnav is out to win at all cost, by unfair means if needs be ... he just has to win over this slip of a girl who dares to challenge him. And Khushi starts to learn slowly about the real world, where it's not your abilities that matter ... it's about who has the power. But she still sticks to her beliefs - if she does the work required, she will win the challenge.
Lady in Red ... and the first Rabba Ve. BS starting to show that he can act ... a very satisfactory 'knocked for six' look on his face at the sight of Khushi in the red saree.
The mask cracks open ... but only for an instant ... then the Beast returns. And banishes Khushi to the parking lot. Akash's wimpiness shows for the first time .. nice guy, but can't raise his voice in front of his bhai.
The first save ... the rain hug. Khushi, down but not out ... defiant to the end ... Arnav, for the second time in one evening, gives in to that unexplained tug ... first he allowed her to model in the saree, now he offers her his coat, which she turns down with disdain ... and then he saves her. So far, he has been rescuing her from situations that he himself has put her into ... so he didn't earn too many Brownie points from me
Arnav's drive home ... where he questions his own actions for the first time, and tries to justify himself for doing the unjustifiable. And Khushi is already getting under his skin, he can't stop thinking about her.
Arnav gives Khushi papers to type overnight - then deliver them to RM. His reaction when he first hears her Devi Maiyya ring tone
Khushi's expression when she sees a typewriter!!! Who uses typewriters these days?!
The first poolside Arnav-Khushi meet ... when Khushi saves Arnav ... erm, Arnav saves Khushi ...erm, not quite sure both claim to be the saviours And the chemistry begins to crackle.
Khushi tells Nani about Lavanya, Arnav furious, banishes her to the guesthouse. Re-watching these scenes made me remember why I wanted an RTR for Arnav so much ... he was pretty hateful at the start of the show!
No wonder Khushi took so long to figure out her feelings for him ... heck, no wonder she took so long to even fall for him!
Guesthouse episodes - starting with the first ME. Khushi gets stuck in the collapsing guesthouse. Sanaya's acting ... brilliant!
Arnav discovers through a combination of phone calls from Sinha and Payal, what exactly he has done ... and rushes to rescue her. While his family thinks he's gone to spend time with Lavanya - delicious irony in the situation. The juxtaposition of the two phone calls was very cleverly done ... how Arnav gets the entire picture from two incomplete halves. Barun's acting ... equally brilliant.
The rescue ... the war of words in the collapsing guesthouse. Whattay episode, what a war of words ... two fiery equals ... perfect match for each other ... the first time Arnav acknowledges his mistake silently, and tries to explain ... the first person he tries to explain himself to, and she's not listening ...
The first drive home. Arnav's expressions as he looks at the unconscious Khushi ... the guy is gone, fallen, point of no return ... she's under his skin, there is no way he can ever get her out ...
The first stirrings of guilt ... relentless, hounding Arnav, pulsating inside him ...
Khushi's resignation ... Arnav's guilty silence ... Khushi's unwilling confusion ...
The Teej episodes ... need more time to write about these, will be back. The original updates are in detail for many scenes, but some are missing. Will update when I have the time!

HHHHHHaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............those were the days Dia..........epis to DIE FOR! Thanks for starting Rewind - aajkal sab kuch pheeka lagta hai.....ARHI crackled and IPKKND's creative team did full justice....it was SO WORTH putting asli duniya on hold for those delicious 30 minutes of SKD.....What was that song? "Jadoo hai nasha hai madhoshiyan hai......so seriously true for us...
ReplyDeleteThis was the time I started the journey with IPK, but it was the Teej episode that made me want to come back for more. The tentative looks, the confusion in those looks from Khushi, Arnav forcing Khushi to meet his glance. His breaking her fast was so beautifully done, and his possessiveness when she nearly faints for the second time. He so wants to talk to her, this man of few words, but he is not sure what to say, but wants to say something. Dialogue not needed, just the eyes, to their souls. I have been back a few times to rewatch.
ReplyDeleteI would like to wish everyone here at R&R a very Happy Chistmas and best wishes for the New Year.
