Krishna-Pintu dynamics - 14th Feb

Great post! I love how you've put words to all of the silent interactions that went on between Krishna and Pintoo. Many of them I had not noticed, or read in an entirely different way so here is my little interpretation coming as well as my response to yours. 😃

I love how you described the gradual switch between them of awkwardness and anger. I think Krishna's anger over the jail incident has cooled off and now she just sort of feels awkward to see him again, knowing what has gone on. Also, she shouted at him at the jail in an impassioned state so when she is back to her normal, shy self, it must feel really uncomfortable to see him again. Of course Pintoo is still reeling from the ego bashing he got and unfortunately this is causing him to side more and more with his father, rather than Babloo. I was shocked when Bihari was talking about him joining TTS' business. It looks like Pintoo is trying to move out of limbo but is going the wrong way...simply because Babloo siding with Krishna over TTS is making him stand against Babloo.

I don't think either of them are aware of the nature of their relationship and their feelings, though both of them sense it strongly at a subconscious level (and Sargam knows all!). I completely agree that Pintoo's anger for Krishna was taken out on the eve teaser, because really he could have just threatened him, as he did Krishna's classmate to get the question bank, rather than punching the living daylights out of him as he did. I also think, along with his anger and frustration at the circumstances with regards to Krishna, he is also furiously repulsed by Pinky, as evidenced by the way he mercilessly retracts his hand from hers (my does that girl move fast!). And I think her whining sends his anger over the edge and he turns around and just lets it all out.

"Pinto finally finds his vent after the fight when he is able to retort Krishna for trying to help him. I think that's when his pent up anger comes down. All that beating could not do much."

I loved this thought and it was one of the things I didn't really think about until I read your take on the scene. It is true that he is looking for a place to vent all this repressed anger, at his father for forcing him into this marriage, at his brother for acting seemingly disloyal to the family, at himself for not being able to understand either his father or his brother, or take control of the situation and at Krishna for being, at least in his view, the instigator for all of this confusion, and for having the audacity to refuse his help. She further hardens the blow by being his knight in shining armour but he is finally able to give her tit for tat by refusing her help and gain some control, which I think brings him back to lucidity.

We will have to see today if he heard the entire conversation between TTS and Bihari or not, but it would seem by his expression that he has heard enough to make him disappointed in his father. He was finally ready to declare his loyalty and now his father has sent him reeling back into his usual uncertainty again, for which I think he resents Krishna as he still sees her as the root, not wanting to accept his father's guilt and lack of character.

Phew. Finally the last scene. I think Krishna is ready to put the jail incident behind her and patch up with Pintoo. But we have to remember this is easier for her because she has come out with her confidence doubled from their confrontation at the jail while his world has been sent spinning out of order by the same incident. It is not as easy for him to forget and move on, especially as the issues the incident raised in his family are so complicated.

He is sort of treating Krishna like someone who is doing dishonest things and not owning up to them, trying to make her guilty with his penetrating looks. But like you said, when Dehati mentions this being his sasural, he is reminded that he is being none too honest by agreeing to marry the likes of Pinky and that is where he once again feels the discomfort. I felt Krishna's anger stemmed from the same reason. It was like a challenge saying, how dare you judge me when you are the way you are?

I am so glad Babloo's influence on Pintoo is still sort of there in the form of Sargam. She is a less extreme force but advocates the same message. That precap with her pushing along the Pintoo-Krishna relationship was a refreshing, positive thing to look forward to, finally!

Wow what a post I so love to read both of your analysis and discussion on the show. You both see the show very deeply and understand the characters. keep discussing will look forward for your posts.
