Wednesday 20th August
Rangrasiya has to have some of the most inept kidnappers in the history of TV shows.
First we had Maithili kidnapped in place of Paro ... kidnapper - Sumer. Along with some equally inept goons, so it only took Paro to rescue Maithili. She took two episodes to do it. And she found Maithili easily ... Sumer took her to the right place. Of course, he wanted to exchange victims ... but being inept kidnapper no. 1 - things didn't quite work out that way.
Then we improved - at least the right person was kidnapped - Samrat. And this time, we had two rescuers - Shantanu and Paro. And exchange kidnapping actually happened, so Sumer got captured in place of Samrat. The rescue took about the same time, give or take half an episode. This time the kidnappers helpfully left the address where they were holding their victim written on the back of his picture, so there was no confusion.
Victim - Samrat. Inept kidnappers no. 2
Address where held - godown of Sisodiya sa.
Now we reach the main picture - the heroine gets kidnapped. Since she is the victim, she can't be the rescuer, unlike the first two times, so it's (finally)!) time for our hero to swing into action. However some things don't change ... our kidnappers are still completely inept ... or that hanky was equipped with a tracking device, which is how Rudra found the place they had taken Myrah so quickly. And he took less than half an episode to find her.
Starting from the beginning ... Mohini takes the opportunity to swing a deal with some random saree sellers, to gyp Myrah out of some of the money she seems to have so much of. Shatabdi wants a cut ... the saree sellers want a little more ... one eyes Myrah's bag ... and Rudra comes in just in time to nip that idea in the bud ... and send the men packing. He also belatedly remembers that he is Myrah's bodyguard ... so no more strange men inside the house, and Myrah is not to go outside without his approval. After all, he's responsible for her safety.
Rudra remembers this for Myrah ... he often forgot it in Paro's case. Character development indeed! :)
Myrah keeps her distance from Rudra .... and is happy not to hear any bells.
Kids return home ... Dhruv has been in a fight .... because he wants to bring his mother to the parent teacher meeting ... and fought with kids when they teased him that he didn't have a mother.
No prizes for guessing whom he named as his mother.
Rudra and Maithili both panic to see Dhruv (Ashish's BD was very obvious there ... he just didn't have the necessary speed in rushing to Dhruv). Interesting to see that Myrah is equally upset to see Dhruv hurt ... she visibly forces herself not to rush to him ... says that she should not interfere ... and leaves.
Myrah is maturing at a very rapid pace!
Rudra and the kids ... Koel is the big sister for Dhruv ... she protects him when his innate honesty makes him spill out his innermost thoughts ... Myrah has been sent by Paro ... she sings like my mother. You and my mother used to fight a lot too, you never loved her in the beginning ...
Rudra tells him that he knew very early that there was something special between him and Dhruv's mom ... but he took time to realise his love.
Dhruv's innermost wish spills out ... that can happen with Myrah too ... maybe you haven't realised yet.
Koel shushes him ... but too late ... too much said too soon.
Visibly upset Rudra ... the kids leave.
Myrah is sensitive all right ... and quick on the uptake ... the kids' very transparent attempts at pairing her and Rudra have not gone unnoticed. And the recently established friendship gives her the right (and the confidence, but she always had enough of that anyway!) to talk frankly to Rudra ... in a way that Maithili should have done, but did not.
So Myrah broaches the topic of re-marriage to Rudra in a way he can't dismiss. For Dhruv's sake. Because it's obvious he's missing his mother. His tendency to try to pair up Myrah and Rudra, the Radha Krishna hints ... he wants a mother of his own. Rudra should think about re-marrying.
Myrah has read very correctly and accurately ... she understands him very well. But again, Myrah is missing a key piece of the puzzle ... one which no one has told her about yet. It's not just any mother Dhruv wants. It's Myrah ... because of her face.
Rudra refuses ... he can't ... because he will never love anyone the same way again.
Myrah agrees ... but that's not necessary, is it? People marry for companionship, for their families ...
Rudra asks her ... will you be able to marry like that? Without love?
And he gives her another long lecture on love ... what it means, how difficult it is to live without the one you love ... and how he can never marry without love. And he asks her ... can you marry without love?
It sounded like he was asking her if she would be ready to marry him, knowing that he could never love her.
As he turns away, Myrah murmurs ... I haven't even known this kind of love.
How can she answer his question about marriage with or without love, when she doesn't even know what that kind of love is?
But she doesn't say that to Rudra ... she makes some excuse about wanting sarees ... Rudra back in protector mode, repeats that he's in charge ... Myrah shouldn't go out without him ... if she wants sarees, he'll take her shopping. Myrah is not happy ... she doesn't like being dominated.
So unlike Paro ... who was happy to take Rudra with her everywhere.
And Myrah is irritated ... by those infernal bells ... and by Rudra trying to dominate her.
Saree sellers are back to try their luck ... their luck is in ... they see Myrah alone and manage to entice her out of the house ... kidnapping attempt successful.
Maithili does see her leave ... but doesn't manage to stop her. Myrah wonders whether to inform Rudra ... decides against it.
So Rudra discovers Myrah missing when Uncleji gives an irate call ... Rudra is supposed to be bodyguard ... how did Myrah get kidnapped?! Uncleji is not happy ...
Rudra tracks Myrah with the help of a chloroform scented handkerchief and tire tracks ... either he's very smart or the kidnappers are very dumb ... or there is only one car with those tire tracks in all of Udaipur. And did he call Aman? Hayyeee!!!
And Rudra vows ... he won't let anything happen to Myrah ...
Myrah wakes up to find herself bound hand and foot ... the kidnappers talk loudly and disclose the rest ... not very smart of them. And she tries to talk her way through ... Jhaddu and Pappu need to listen to her. Do they even know who she is? They're gone ... her uncle is not just a rich man, he's a minister. They really should have done their homework.
Kidnappers retreat to figure out what to do next ... while Rudra reaches the kidnap spot ... and memories flood back of another night, another woman in danger ...

For me the highlight of the episode was when Myra approached the topic of re-marriage to Rudra, and was pleasantly surprised to know that she had already realized what the kids were up to, by trying to pair up her and Rudra together and she was really sweet and understanding about it. Dhruv wants his mother, its that simple that's why he is trying to find that affection in Myra is what she assumes,so advises Rudra to marry again for sake of Dhruv, little does she know Dhruv does not want any mother but Myra only because of her resemblance to Paro!! When the whole truth is presents in front of her, what will be her reaction then? That's when the actual drama will unfold, it will be interesting to see the story then onwards :-) And I am sure that wont happen until Myra is even more emotionally involved than she is already getting into!
ReplyDeleteRudra's question about love and marriage sure looked like he threw a curveball on her.
Its nice to see that they still show Mohini yo be one greedy woman though age does seem like to mellowed her down and of course the people whom she had most of issues with are no more- her sister and brother-in-law and Paro :-(, and moreover looks like her and her daughter-in law Shatabdi are actually match made in heaven! Both are shewed and sly business women.
P.S. The ringing bells have started irritating Myra, so she now even goes to lengths as far as avoid them- my state is the same to!!, the so called mystery of the ringing bells is really getting annoying now! :-/
Agree about the bells ... they are really annoying! Knowing that GH is the writer, I can imagine it was one of his stupid ideas to try to show that Myrah fell for Rudra at first sight ... but I'm hoping it's more about bells ringing to jog her memory every time she gets close to Rudra.
DeleteThe Myrah Rudra scene was interesting ... I did find Myrah a little intrusive ... but she has realised what the kids are up to, that they are teaming her with Rudra, despite knowing she is engaged, so it made sense for her to talk to him. And she has been shown as very frank, saying what's on her mind ... so accepted. I agree with what Mdhu mitha said below ... Myrah should have decided to leave the haveli when she realised what the kids are up to ... rather than press Rudra to get married again ... or at least, in addition to talking about re-marriage. Since Rudra is her bodyguard, he has to stay with her 24/7 ... also since he apparently doesn't have any other employees to do guard duty ... so he could have countermanded that by saying that she has to stay at the haveli, as he can't leave Dhruv alone. Thereby cvs could have made sure Myrah continued to stay there.
Amusing episode - I hope it was meant to be amusing. We are back on the RR express! And the kidnappers are dumber and dumbest! Loved how Rudra's detective-giri led him straight to Myrah. Now if he used those skills to find Tejawat, Nandini et al, wouldn't that be awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd Aman was mentioned? Poor guy - he does not get paid, but his name still brings out the phangirls!
I see Myrah falling deeper in love with Rudra. BTW - why did he not think she was actually encouraging him to remarry her? :) Because she's supposed to marry "Rohit"?
Well, at least they showed her interested in saris - though what fell on Rudra's head was a dupatta!
I still prefer these episodes to the constant bickering, the Laila track and the ladoo track.
Chalo, let's see what tomorrow brings.
I think they're purposely keeping the episodes light, as dark and intense did not work.
DeleteMyrah Rudra's meeting was confusing ... I did not understand how a silent man like Rudra could give such a long spiel about love to Myrah ... she is practically a stranger to him. I would have understood if he said this to Maithili and Myrah overheard, the way she did the other day ... or even if he had said all that to Paro's picture ... that would have been more touching.
And after that very touching speech about love, and how he can't love again ... he turned around and asked Myrah if she would be ready to marry without love ... was he proposing to her, or warning her off, or showing her a mirror?
Rudra think that Myrah was encouraging him to re-marry her ... I guess because she is 'engaged' and has made no secret of the fact ... although we have yet to see any preparations for the wedding!
It was an okay episode. So Myrah has realized that the kids are trying to bring her and Rudra closer. Smart and sensible. I would have called her more sensible, if she had packed her bags and left the mansion, after giving an explanation to Rudra. I don't see why Rudra or Maithili should explain to Myrah about Paro. Rudra is anyways her bodyguard. So, he can do his duty anywhere she is. But our CVs don't want her to leave the haveli. So, what can she do? She talks about re-marriage to Rudra. I am liking it whenever Rudra takes Paro's name or says something related to Paro. The CVs have kept Paro very much alive in RR 2.0, which is making me really happy. Rudra's constant remembrance of Paro and her influence on him are the basis for RR 2.0. The last scene where Rudra remembers Paro dying in his lap, brought a lump to my throat. :'( :'(
ReplyDeletePoor Aman... He was a faceless character in IPKKND. It was amusing to watch Arnav talking to him in IPKKND. The HARI SADU abbreviation suited ASR so well. :D :D And when we think we have a real Aman in RR, he is gone. But the mere mention of his name brought a smile. :) :)
A little worried for Dhruv. Not sure where this track is leading. Waiting for tomorrow's episode. And what is happening to RR? Any concrete news about the future of RR?
Agree with you about Myrah being more sensible and leaving the haveli after she realised what the kids are up to ... that's what she should have done. Since the cvs have to keep her in the haveli, Rudra could have brought her back, saying he's on duty but can't leave Dhruv, so she needs to stay in the haveli.
DeleteI really cannot see any other way for the story to unfold, other than Myrah being Paro. The constant references to Paro, Rudra repeating again and again how much he loved her ... he loved her at first sight, only realisation came later ... he cannot ever love anyone like that again ... and Myrah's bells every time he comes close ... all seem to point only in that direction. But hats off to the actors, Sanaya has kept Myrah so completely distinct from Paro till now ... I guess the similarities will start creeping in once they realise how much time they have for the show.
No concrete news about RR .. yesterday we went on tenterhooks the whole day ... alternating good and bad news came .. time slot change, shutting down ... then finally we got news that the decision will be taken in September. Which means a time slot change, I guess ... as they can't give the PH a week's notice to wrap up. So they might change the slot when BB8 starts, and then pull it off air quietly if the ratings dip further.
I think Myrah's forceful entry would have been the only way for her to enter the haveli. Rudra might have accommodated her, if she had not been his dear wife's lookalike. He ran like a crazy guy, the first time he met her. Or the CVs could have thought of a better plan for Myrah to stay at Rudra's. Anyways, given the short time they had for the revamp, the episodes are not bad. Some of the episodes are really enjoyable. Like you, I want Myrah to be paro. I hope the CVs don't disappoint us. Or in IF Meenu's words, 'bas thullu nahi milna chahiye'. :( :(

Okay, why is Rudra calling Aman and the BSD? Doesn't he have a security agency of his own?
ReplyDeleteRudra might have thought of taking BSD's help, as Myrah's uncle is a cabinet minister. Just assuming. You are not supposed to ask such kostins Dia. :P after the laddoo track, my brain is spacing out automatically when I watch RR. :D
ReplyDelete- Madhumitha
Looks like RR to end in a month - September 21st. Let's hope they give up good episodes for next month. I want Paro back!!!
ReplyDeleteso its official huh? :-/
