Sushpective: A good Finish! (Collages added!)

WOO HOO...Shwets made the collages!

Thank you for opening the post.

Lovely analysis sush.
Agreed .
I was happy Ranaji didn't jump to conclusions until
Wilkinson sent him the anklet.And Gayatri did lie to him
once again ,that he is now assured of.
Hopefully he'll listen to her.Seeing him shocked and angry kind of gave me the idea he cares more than he wills.He should be happy is dear plane still remains his but nope.Whats cooking in his mind I wonder.Poor gayatri always anticipating some affection from Ranaji.I don't blame her.Love makes you blind is an apt saying and rightly so.

Hello,

Thanks for the post...thought you would make one...glad to be proved right..

I thought this was a much better episode than the previous ones!

Much better thought out and much better executed!

Loved the scene between RM- Rana ji. I got what I wanted and boy, am I glad! It was a subtle scene and yet powerful in its own way! Must say that Anita Raaj- Siddhant Karnick have excellent chemistry!

So, Gayathri decides her jewels are better off sold than Rana ji's Mayur Pankh! Don't have a problem with her sweet thought! However, unfortunately for her, she only thought of a physical possession that Rana ji cherished and not the honour that is more important than life to him. How did she even imagine he would not get to know? Was it some dirty secret that Wilkinson was supposed to keep? Confidence and naivete is one thing but this was downright foolish! Her bravado with Wilkinson failed to impress me because of the foolishness of her act! Forget his accusations! For me, whatever her intentions, she had managed to subvert the authority of the king and compromised his honour in the process.

What if tomorrow Wilkinson turned around and said that Rana ji had intentionally sent his wife to him to seek the favour of waiving the tax or some such crap?!

Please don't turn Gayathri into more of a Ms Know it all, creatives!

Ah, the period telephone! The prop that was missing in the Johnson scene! Nice to see it showing its face!

Rana ji's simmering anger post his telephonic talk, his veiled anger and talk with Gayathri post that, all of that was nicely done! But why is Gayathri so dim? Can't she ever read between the lines, identify nuances? Why is her head in the clouds always? Particularly after her secret mission! She was behaving like she had just taken a stroll in the park. In the joy of seeing him in her bedroom, guess she forgot to feel anything else! Sigh but like Chick says, that is Gayathri.

So the missing anklet surfaced in the same episode! A typical soap might have stretched the mystery for some two weeks. Nice to see that this never happens on this show! If only they would also reject the typical soap tracks like 'jeere ka tadka'! After having been lied to by your wife on her whereabouts, discovering a letter from another man with her anklet enclosed. Must have seemed damning and he would have to be a saint or superhuman to clinically analyse Wilkinson's intentions. He did already give her the benefit of doubt once but she of course believed that Wilkinson was her BFF who would guard her secret for life!

Biraha, what a beautiful word that is!

And what a wonderful exposition of the same by Swarna! The subtle, nuanced expressions, her rendition of the poetry, full marks to the actress..! She made the scene beautiful!

On the precap, no surprises! How he is going to manage to lose her in the jungle and then rescue her remains to be seen!

Sorry Sush but my guess is it is going to be a nasty scene for sure! He is going to set her up and then question her character! I am only glad that the conversation will remain between them unlike the dining table episode.

He is fuming and you know how Rana ji behaves when he loses control! The silver lining is that he is affected by the goings on as a man just as much as a king. Despite everything, he gave her the benefit of the doubt because of who Wilkinson is. But she sealed her fate and now the volcano is waiting to erupt again. Much as he denies it, he is hurt by her perceived betrayal! Which means he expected her loyalty despite his many claims on her manipulative ways! Which means the iceberg had begun to melt!

But well...

Anyway, an episode where every character was true to itself, even if we may not like what they did!

Lastly, this episode goes to Rana ji, despite Gayathri's bravado!

Was RM coming across as too cold and manipulative to the TRP crowd that they have been 'humanizing' her lately? I am glad we are seeing other aspects of her character. She may have suppressed all emotions due to her life experiences. AR-SK do have great chemistry, that was a brief but amazing scene to watch. It was getting tiresome to watch RNJ taunting or fighting with RM and RM trying to get him to accept Gayu past few weeks.
AR is quite impressive as RM. TBH, I never thought much of her emoting skills from what little I remember of the few movies I watched years ago. But I think movies in general from that era are not even worth taking about! AR has been a pleasant surprise.
I love the RNJ nods... different nods for different emotions. 😆

Gayu and Swarna scene was good too. I am really liking the actress who plays Swarna. She portrays the aura of royal lineage very naturally and gracefully.

I forwarded the Gayu-Wilkie convo. The know-it-all, fix/reform/save everything, morally superior, always right, preachy FL speeches bore and annoy me simultaneously.

Editing flaw in the RNJ-Wilkie scene was a little annoying but RNJ's reaction was a sight for sore eyes. I loved the way he slumped down on the chair. It was a shock big enough to make him go to Gayu's room. No man would tolerate news such as this calmly. Despite his anger and sense of betrayal he wanted to give her the benefit of doubt. Nice. He got the proof he wanted right away, CVs thanks for not dragging!

Good the hear the male version of sawariya again...

Wilkie was really struggling to talk with an accent.😆

Not a bad episode to end a rather disappointing week for many of us. Hoping next week is better and we get to see start of some RaGa romance... and the horse and the knight in white... or black on the horse😛

Glad to see your post Sush. Missing Shwets, Bhavi, Grumpy.

Nice post. There is one month till Deepawali. So, its likely that the Creatives hav planned more confrontations and humiliating scenes for Gayatri. Yesterday's episode had a decent pace. Finally, Rana Deo was emoting with his eyes. The phone scene was nicely done. He couldn't believe what Wilkinson told him. 😊

Rana Deo is yet to understand Gayatri. So, the half-naked man who was testing his Rani's desperate overtures to 'eat him' despite his clear disinterest, is likely to be seen again next! Now, his ego and manhood are hurt. Esp. when his Rani seeks out another man, for whatever reasons. And to top it all, he wasn't even consulted...😡 Its like questioning his authority and taking decision-making in her own hands. No King can tolerate that...

If the scenes become predictable, I will lose interest. For eg. if Rani Gayatri Devi is shown belting dialogues to defend herself everytime and then gulps down some wine to forget Rana Deo and sings,"Na jao saiyaan chudake baiyaan, kasam tumhari mein ro padungi..." Uggh... 😡

Yes, y'day was a nice way to end the week. I loved it.
Tehre was no kitchen.No dinning table.No Kokila. Key characters going about solving one problem,even as a bigger one surfaces.👏

Loved RM-RNJ scene. AR & SK have this beautiful non-verbal communication betwen tehm,taht's so visible just when they are in teh same frame.RM was the sad yet proud mother y'day.She cared for her son and he knew it.ANd these two actors are able to bring it out with a slight touch on the shoulder & a nod.👏Well done AR-SK.May you get more scenes.
@Infofan- i like the humanizied RM.Ofc,i could see her even if the TRP folks didn't earlier.

I'm not surprised G did what she did.And the way she did.She'll make more unilateral decisions in her crazy lover mind and act upon them in teh middle of teh night.Seh'll face the bigger consequences with annoying attitude whenthey hit her, for now she is happy,she saved her king.
DD aced in that scene with Wilikie.
Damn, i even liked Wilkie y'day.Teh actor wasn't making faces he acted as a scheming man,bent on revenge.
RaGa cross-talk in G's chamber was interesting.Someday RNJ will realise how innocent his meddlesome wife is and feel ashamed.😆
Nice way to open Swarna's can of worms, thr her sad poems.good job Cvs👏
Yet to watch pre-cap.
I think, they are back on track after floundering last week.
