Episode review : 09 June
Apt title... Misdirected anger it is.
I do wish still they could have sped up the funeral rituals. But ghum makers love to trigger horrible memories. Coming on the heels of a pandemic which killed many, I wish they had skipped that part or atleast put a trigger warning.
It's utterly distressing to see all that when a person we know is alive is pretending to be dead and is subjected to all those rituals.
Sorry.. but shouldn't have been done at all. Not in so much detail. 😔
All the dialogues at the cremation ground by everyone assembled is to guilt trip V. There are repeated closeups of him registering that and breaking up bit by bit. There's Pakhi too... But she finds a target as soon as the fire starts burning.
Liked that shot... It's symbolic of the rage consuming her.
The only flashback P has of Sammy is when they were ready to be intimate with each other. Not of their marriage, or the coffee dates or any other memory.
This signifies to me two things... She never accepted Sam as her husband. It was more of a companionship that she lost... And secondly, her wish of getting importance from BK when she gets pregnant was left unfulfilled. In that sense, P is downright disgusting because then Sam was just a sperm donor for her... A medium to stay in CN and be in the good books of everyone.
I feel like puking even writing this. 🤢
Back home, MB is angry at Sai. Understandable... But as i had imagined.. it's a temporary frustration... MB so far has been the sensible one.. so she will forgive Sai later on. And it matters in the long run because if and when P's game is up... MB would be the one to question her that if I can forgive her why can't you? For whatever it's worth ... I want this to happen.
P has been selfish and cunning to the core and has never understood Sam or his feelings. She has always self victimized herself and this is what she is doing right now.
I am glad V spoke.. chalo kuch to bacha hai isme abhi. He shouldn't have accepted Sai's abuse though even if it was from the guilt of being party to Sam's death.
That explanation that I asked Sai to call Sam fell on deaf ears. P doesn't have the bandwidth to ever accept her mistakes so she will conveniently forget that.
I feel that dialogue even though added later, seems like a standing instruction to Sai to call Sam when he is unavailable. They did show him in a covert operation when this took place to justify him not picking up the call. Although it is still illogical that V left the phone in car when he is out nabbing criminals. Agar contact karne ki jarurat padi to how will he do it? KJ ki death ke time pe bhi everyone had phones on them. Khair itna logic to makers dete nahi hai
Ash has been redeemed... Her behaviour to Sai post landmine is now washed off. Sai has forgiven her so we should too. And so she speaks for Sai. Although that's the important dialogue... Sai should stay in the house because she is the bahu not only because she is pregnant.
Devi ironically is the saner one and has the guts to speak up. That gives impetus to the other two mute spectators... Mohit and Shivani. But all of them are toek voices with no real standing... So doesn't matter eventually.
BK is angry at Sai... Forgetting that Sai was vulnerable and was in need of help. So much for the mother of the heir 😔.
A question nobody asks or ponders is... What if V had gone to pick up Sai? Does that mean they were okay if V had died? Or that they were sure that V would have saved Sai?? Or that they did not trust Sam's abilities??? Sam tried and fought valiantly... Unfortunately the enemy was stronger but he did his best. That doesn't mean that he was less of a soldier. Or that he was incapable of saving Sai and coming out alive.
What if Mohit had gone to pickup??? Surely he wouldn't have been able to do 10% of what Sam did. So in that case, was it okay if Sai was kidnapped by Jagtap and Mohit dead??? And heir lost to the criminal????
How is Sai to blame in all this???
Jagtap should technically be behind bars and Sai has police protection officer with her at all times. . If anyone is at fault here.. it's V for not assessing the threat perception to Sai.
Precap has BK stopping Sai from leaving the house because she is carrying the heir.
Verdict:
TBH i don't see anything wrong in way BK behaved. As in wrong logically but true to her character.
BK has never accepted Sai as the bahu of the house.
And even if she had... All she wanted was a baby making machine. Devoid of self respect, dreams and ambitions... P fits the bill and hence is the favorite.
Sai was never going to fit into that mould but was accorded the rights (whatever they are) only because she is married to V... First born male of CN.
All the uttaradhikari nonsense was to make Sai bend to those rules. She didn't and BK went back to her true self. So even now, Sai is only safe because she is pregnant and will be safe if the baby is born.
Sonali and Karishma are the next ones to flip when BK sides with Sai. That's my gut feeling again. Atleast they will reduce their taunts.
What BK or anyone has failed to do however and what they should realize now is that they allowed Pakhi to be like this. Time and again they encouraged her and enabled her to consider herself greater, bigger and more important than Sai. And to vomit her poison at Sai. Hence no one has the guts now to speak up against her even if they feel she is wrong. And Sai never demanded those rights because she was never up for it.
The infestation that is Pakhi is now beyond control however, it is time she is reeled in and managed.
It's an injury that has been left untreated and has led to pus formation .... Hightime to treat it before it leads to amputation.
I am interested to see if BK changes now... And Pakhi's game plan... She looked like she might do some harm to Sai and I would like for it to come in open once and for all... For BK to see the true colours of her Aastin ka saap.
If there's any growth i want to see in any character now...it's BK.
Acting wise Kishori was fab.. especially on the cremation ground.
Whenever there is a trend to replace ML, NB gets good scenes to enact... To show his acting prowess... This episode falls in that category. He did good.
Ms. Sharma needs to buck up though... Is not at all convincing of her pain character wise and especially with the pretty pink lipstick that is mysteriously touched up halfway through the scene
Sonali is looking super pretty in these subdued looks.
