finished watching the episode.
Initially it was hilarious to watch Tuntun getting Pinto all ready as the bridegroom. But by the time he ties the sehra on Pinto's head and then asks him to show his face, and when Pinto obeys that but then turns his face away, my heart became heavy and the heaviness continued throughout the episode. I am quite doused in that mood.
In Natyashastra's Navarasas, I would say today three rasas dominated. Veebhatsam, Bhayanakam and Karunyam.
Today the show was completely stolen by Tuntun Singh. He was the one who evoked Vibhatsa (Disgust/grotesque), Bhayanaka (fear) and Karunya(sorrow and despair).
How he has orchestrated the turn of events around him, no one has a peace of mind. Every one around him was burning in some kind of hell. Be it Sargam, Ganga, Babloo, Pinto or Krishna. Everyone was reeling under his scathing attack on sanity.
Despair
Pinto was a little less than the zinda laash because his heart was still giving him all signals even as he locked his mind. His heart did not allow him to have him provide joy to his father when he himself was unhappy, his heart spoke to his bhabhi even as his eyes were trying to avoid seeing her. He did smile at her when she doing the "nazar utarna" but then his heart grabs the opportunity and speaks to her. And the way his mom advised him it was being received by his mind not caring much but somewhere his heart registered the truth the she showed him. Agar bachche khush nahin to maa-baap kaise khush ho sakte hain, This was a fact which Pinto seemed to have forgotten when giving his word to his father. And it was exactly the way we were all saying. Pinto instead of exercising his right of being the son of his parents had become the opposite, a father to his stubborn father who behaves like a child. And finally Pinto's heart starts messing with his mind. He starts seeing apparitions of his reality, kicking in existential thoughts.
Krishna was distraught beyond control. The way she was crying, it was again the child in her. Now this is the second time I am seeing her behave like this when something happens to Vidya. She just loses all grit and hits nadir in desperation. While last time I was angry at her weeping in DC's office. today I had the comfort that Babloo was there and he was controlling her.
Her senses do kick in as the kidnappers call, as her mom and brother call and she decides what she has to tell...it is only with regards to her father that she becomes the girl who just does not have anything left if her father is not there with her.
Disgust and Fear.
I am so much in its grip that I do not even have any words to describe my state. First I should applaud the creatives for weaving the mayajaal through Tuntun, They could penetrate my stern objectivity and appeal to my emotions. I did feel scared and disgusted by seeing to what an extent this man can go for achieving what he wants. And that feeling was echoed by Babloo.
The only I way I can get out of this is reading all the repartees again that we had this morning. All those light moments of the posts. I am now so happy that I did the crossover between HD and AB. It does seem that only HD can do something about this Tuntun. Gosh! I need to get out of this Tuntun grip. I need fresh air...
