SPM ~My Musings ~8.10.19 Russian Roulette
I may be the only one on this forum who thinks this episode is a masterpiece. All the key characters that matter are present and that too on an outdoor site! Kainat’s reckless, potentially fatal game of chance! Totally befits her character. Exactly what I expect of her. I loved the game of nerves .The spin of an empty barrel of a revolver , lodged with one fatal bullet either for Madhav or Zaroon. But really, the final lethal bullet is aimed to cock at her twin sister Saltanat!
The cv’s create enough drama of doom and sweat! amongst the ill-fated protagonists and many thrills in the power hungry antagonist. The scene a top the hill, portrays exactly what Kainat wants spectators to see. Sheer terror in her, prisoners! Three adults and one terrified innocent child, who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time!
Every one else, Saltanat, Zaroon,Madhav have grieved and rubbed Kainat in the wrong way. Finally it’s pay back time for them. She plays the game and all three of her adversaries, are mere pawns, who will finish off each other!
Apart from her playing a great game host, Kainat seems clued on to the outcome of the one sided game. One sided, because all the three main contenders in her mind are tipped to lose! For there will be only one inevitable winner!namely Kainat herself! Enough of being a loser all her life.
That Kainat picks upon Saltanat’s failed memory as the pivot that would determine which one of her supporters will live and which one will die! For me this too is her ploy, in which again, I see a certain sanity in Kainat’s insanity.
Like an effective quiz game host, Kainat maintains audience suspense when she threateningly, presses the buttons of the time bomb fitted on Krish’s wheelchair! Her fingertips are also used to press Zaroon’sand Madhav’s panic buttons! Ensuring they obey her commands, to take shots at each other!
However the highlight of the episode, for me is, how it’s the older sister who literally forces to bring back the memory of her younger sister, who followed her into this world! Where Madhav tried and didn’t get much luck. Where even Saltanat tried, but didn’t get complete success! There Kainat succeeds!!
It was like a twin birth process to me.. Kainat was expelled first out of the , mother’s womb and she pulled her twins hand and got her out into the world too! Now too with brute force! She charges back her twins memory again! Overall Kainat’s negative energy, creates positivity! Gives Saltanat’s life back to her briefly..
For Saltanat has to be revive her past. As Saltanat has to bring justice for all the wrongs committed to her and her family by Kainat . So, goodness once destroyed! is created again by the destroyer!! only to perish at the hands of goodness..
Through the episode, the bond of blood remains between the two fruits of Zainab’s womb. In the complete fatal game Kainat vents out her age old grievances against her twin. The biggest plus of the lethal game,is all set to prompt Saltanat’s memory back!
The questions sound of a sisters reunion!The other three only serve as Saltanat’s soft connections! Kainat’s question’s clearly relate to the sisters lives. Like the name their mother who created them? It’s like Kainat feels angst at being related toSaltanat; next question too was a wound which continues to fester in Kainat. Whose alliance was initially set up with Zaroon ?? She reminds Saltanat how she was wronged and messed about with, by the elders! Another question for Saltanat , where did she meet Zaroon first?? Kainat suggests, Saltanat’s deliberate sabotage of her already set up alliance with Zaroon! and the final test question of her sister’s memory loss! Soon after her marriage to Zaroon, what decision did they both take?? A weeping Saltanat gives Kainat her one and only answer and that too correct!! All to save her husband Zaroon’s life at the hands of Madhav’s bullet!
The final scene. Kainat’s desperate attempt to yet again keel over Saltanat down the ravine.. how Saltanat grabs on to her elder sisters hand! Once more reminds me how identical both were at birth. Yet how dissimilar they were, and remain till this moment in time.. So evil remains, but going by the precap so does goodness.. Kainat’s favour to her sister is likely to cost her, her very evil life..
Overall I may be the only one on the forum, who enjoyed the thrill, suspense and Kainat’s master stroke of restoring Saltanat’s memory. I did take note of the faith elements also, where heartfelt prayers for the safe return of their dear ones are devoutly said. Some how before their personal deities, grievances were set aside against each other.Looks like Saltanat is all set to join her loved ones.. this time for real,with a clear mind and an overwhelmed heart.. 9.10.19 hamlet53.
Thanks Esha, and Irshita for all your support, your loyalty touches my soul, much humbled, yours hammie
