First off, you have penned down every single thing I have felt during the episode! When Raghav was getting ready today, uff I got the chills. He looked so cold, ruthless... he was out to get his prey. His entire body language radiated that aura (Sai just keeps getting better and better! ❤️) Loved how you saw the descent metaphorically, it reminded me of Joker (dunno if you've watched it)... he was having a hard time climbing up the stairs in the beginning of the film and it was a gloomy weather, but by the end, he was descending them and he had a bounce in his step and the weather was all sunny, it showed how he was having struggling to stay sane but when his insanity gripped him, everything got easier and happier. Anyway, I digress. Farhad and his prayer touched my heart again today ❤️ Himanshu is really doing an amazing job, putting little nuances to Farhad 👏 When he couldn't meet Pallu's eyes and walked away, the camera wasn't even focused on him but he totally made that scene his own... Bravo boy 👏
Welcome to the 'hard school' of life, Pallavi, where some lessons make us or break us. In your case, I hope they will first break you and then make you rise from the ashes to soar in the sky one day. As a woman, it is going to hurt watching you lose your joie de vivre and innocence about life, but at the same time I am also hopeful that you will find your true self during this journey.
I loved these lines ❤️ this is exactly how I feel about her arc.
Tbh I was conflicted today on whether to fast forward or not. On one hand I wanted to get to the main action fast, on the other hand I wanted to avoid it as long as possible. I finally decided to linger and watch it all, and that made it all the more difficult bcz this girl keeps showing more and more just how much this family matters to her 💔 Every time I can't relate to her Dfam attachment, I remember she's an orphan who has experienced a family for the first time. I immediately understand why she works so hard for the shop, why she has made their dreams her own, why her baba's love and appreciation matters so much to her. I understand it all, and my heart breaks for her 😭 She was so emotional about the shop ownership today... Being able to fulfil baba's dream, she thought she finally became the perfect "beti" for them 🥺 It was heartbreaking to know that it was all about to destroyed for her in seconds 🥺
When Raghav entered, the air was just ominous. I'm so glad they didn't use his normal bgm and went for a different one... I love that bgm too much for it to be used in this situation. But seriously, the way he focused only on Pallavi, I got goosebumps! He really feels let down by her somehow, which is adding to his viciousness. It was so clear in the way he threw that commitment line at her... "Kuch rishte commitment ke bina hi acche hote hai"... with that taunting expression in his eyes, it was like he was really talking about their own rishta which had formed, one of care and understanding... a strange rishta but one that was meaningful to him. And one she wasn't committed to. I wonder if the makers even thought of it this way or if it's simply Sai and his brilliant nuances at play here! 👏 The guy is simply excellent ❤️
When I read the updates in the forum today, I thought he was gonna call her this and that. But he didn't go that way at all, he didn't start insulting her or disgracing her character, on the contrary he claimed to love her and was betrayed by her scorning him. That little laugh before he completely turned the tables on her, oh this guy knows to hunt his prey alright. In a second, SHE became the scheming woman! SHE was the one avoiding commitment with him, not making their relationship public, fighting with him in front of family so they don't suspect a thing... and now that she has got the shop from him, she doesn't wanna see his face again. What a gold-digger! He was like, "I thought you liked me, I gave you the shop and came here to support you in this special moment with your family, and this is how you treat me now? So all this while, you were only in it for the money, huh? Here, if that's all you wanted, take it!" I honestly wasn't repulsed by the money throwing as much as I'd expected to be... he made out the entire situation to be like that! Like she'd been taking advantage of him the entire time. I love that he mentioned feelings... he never made it about just getting physical, he was implying an actual relationship between them (of which physical intimacy is a part) in which he got betrayed. Only in his last "19-20 nights" comment did he degrade it to be just a physical one, and that was when he was playing the jilted lover role. Oh Pallu, I don't blame you for being dumbstruck today, I was in the same boat. Raghav Rao, what a devious man you are!
But Pallavi, my girl... I feel like sending out a dua for her too 🥺 This is gonna hit her so hard, I can't 😭 Someone please make things better for her... the girl doesn't deserve this 😭 I can't even summon up my usual happiness at the thought of her leaving that house, I'm so sad for her.
Right now, there are only 2 things I wish to see. One, Pallavi emerging STRONG and giving it back to Raghav Rao, 10 times worse. Second, Raghav Rao's suffering. Pallu se to hard time milna hi hai use, but I really really want him to be judged and looked down upon by Farhad... I. Want. This. Guy. To. Suffer. That's it 😈
So true what you said about the dialogue... Baba's double standards and low mentality on full display currently, via Raghav's dialogues. And yes, with this stunt, RR did manage to destroy Pallavi and strip the Deshmukhs of their identity, all in a single blow.
He will go home after this, supposedly to celebrate his victory and to find some mental peace after completing his mission, but he will not be able to.
Go read my OS, this is exactly what it's about 😛 I didn't even watch the epi before writing it, but it definitely fits the situation.
Love the last 3 paragraphs you wrote. We will all judge Raghav with our own weighing scales, but ultimately it's Pallavi who has to decide. Things like this are so extreme, a person can go either way with their reaction and you'll support them anyway. It's their life, their choice. To forgive or not to forgive is upto them. But for now, I just wanna see her make Raghav suffer 😈 I haven't seen Humsafar, but you have made me curious about it..
Amazing post! 👏 Thanks for tagging me, I'm honoured ❤️🤗
