IP REDUX ; Bairi Piya !! - Page 4

 

My thoughts on the episode:

 

 

An intense episode, not as intense as some of the others we have seen on this show but pretty darn close.

 

I think it started off nicely, the clearing of the misunderstanding between the Raizada's, and the reason why Payal and Khushi did what they did. Understanding dawning on Arnav's eyes was nice. The cementing of Khushi's image in nani's eyes, I feel like this was done for a reason. Arnav understanding that there was an actual, good natured reason behind Khushi declining the award and it had nothing to do with him was good.

 

Today everyone stayed in the character ( not the crazy curve balls they throw us occasionally), Arnav almost gave Khushi the benefit of the doubt but when he saw that both Shyam and Khushi were missing his hope started to slip. Then his worst fears were confirmed that indeed Khushi was with Shyam. And just like that he was ASR.

 

He demanded answers, laid down the law, threatened, and ensured he is in control. Back to his basic personality, the weight of the world on his shoulders. But there is a difference, he can't hurt her or see her hurt. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! This part was good, his grip slacked he looked at her; she was daring him to do it. And for a second, he thought he would just to prove to her he didn't care two hoots. But then she braced herself for the fall and ASR crumbled. Nicely done!!! Of course once she was safe he was mad at himself, she wasn't helping which meant ASR mask comes back on in full force. But he realizes in order for this sham to work he needs her to participate like she has. He NEEDS her in pretense as much as he needs her in truth.

 

Khushi, has been the victim, but her personality doesn't make her a martyr rather a fighter. Today she did just that. She is tired of her good intentions being questions, tired of being called a gold digger. Just tired that every time she thinks Arnav has some feelings for her they come crashing down. But mostly, she is hopeless. And just when she thinks I was wrong to build my dreams with this man how has let me go (good use of the FB) he doesn't let her go, he pulls her to himself saving her. She is now angrier than ever because she wants him to say to her what he feels enough of these mixed signals.

 

Here's what I don't understand, why does Khushi not just tell Arnav I had to go get medicine for Di, he is mad as hell. It isn't life or death. This secrecy is nonsense. Just because Anjali told her not to? The idea is for Arnav not to be worked up but he is mighty worked up not knowing where you are so what the hell? This part is just confusing. AGAIN THIS SELF-SACRIFISING ACT BELONGS IN OTHER SP SHOWS!!!

 

The one thing I hated!!!

The use of the Rabba Ve tune today did not fit in at all, in fact it was distracting, if anything they should have used the instrumental version. It made the scene kind off disjointed.

 

After this if they go back to fake rabba ve's I swear!!!!

But that was my two cents, all I can say is that if they lose momentum now I'm out!!!

 

I absolutely loved the confrontation between Khushi and Arnav. Arnav for a change wanted answers instead of assumptions but Khushi justifiably was not ready to give because she was still angry about Arnav not being honest with her earlier. Both are hurting, both are angry and that is a dangerous combo when it comes to these two - emotions indeed do cloud their judgement which is why in this moment I don't blame either for not being able to piece together the hints that have been thrown their way. Khushi and Arnav are not in a frame of mind to think logically here but that will change, the pieces of the puzzle will soon fit.

 

Other scenes I loved was the fact the truth was brought out in front of the family as to why Payal purposely lost and Khushi refused her trophy. While the storyline was weak, the real reason behind it was strong. It was about establishing who Khushi and Payal are at heart and only adds to the belief that Nani will indeed a very strong supporter of Khushi when the MU is revealed.

 

My only complaint is that forced Rabba Ve! I hated it! The second one was ok but the first was the worst in the history of IPKKND! Like you Sathya I would have preferred ASR's music here instead we got an out of place RV.
