Watched diyarvattu episode, what a powerful episode!!! The build up, tension and the final outburst WOW! How freaking good was Manasi Parekh throughout! It was such an intense scene and there is not a single point where she is yelling ( what most actors do to portray the anger within ) to put her point through, there is so much power, emotion and weight in her voice that she doesn’t need to go into theatrics. I don’t know how to put my feelings in words here.
The chain of events that happens in quick succession puts Gulaal in a situation where she is left with no choice. Again the writing of the show, they covered every angle , answered every question as to Why would one take such a drastic step as to marry someone who is literally a kid? Also the situation spiraled up and got out of hand too quickly for Gulaal and this was literally the only way left to save her family.
The thing that I completely did not see it coming by any stretch of imagination was Gulaal outing Dushyant, Jamuna, Sudha, Raman, Gigabha that for once was refreshing to watch . I love how this show doesn’t hold back on some age old rituals and dares to question them. Gulaal asking the panch Why could the society not let a woman live happily on her own terms? She just wanted to fulfill her husbands dreams and stay with her family but they took away her basic right to choose how to live.
Gulaal saying, “Aap logone rivajo ki ankho se duniya dekhi, maine unhi riwaajo ko apni nazaron se dekha.” really sums up the conflict.
There is so much to talk about for this episode and the whole build up to it. I want to read your take on this and discuss!
