TaaRey: Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Palki Ma'am, take a bow. From a TR fan perspective, a very well written, well executed and well performed episode. Nothing dragged...the drama unfolded at a wonderful pace and constantly made me thump my desk thinking, "ab kya hoga yaar!" π I loved the use of the flashbacks and how it was incorporated into the epi, without slowing down the pace. If last week's episodes were a treat, today was a three course meal...delightful :)
Rey completely drenched in rain...standing outside Taani's place like a true Romeo...waiting for just one glance of his Juliet. He's cold and shivering, but that doesn't deter him. Taani on the other hand tries hard to resist, but finally gives in. The hurt and anger inside of her is much smaller than her feelings for Rey. She comes out...to bring him in :)
After a very long time I've enjoyed a conversation between Rey and Taani. The exchange of dialogues along with the subtle moments inbetween, melted me from within. And the heavy drops of rain covering Rey were harmless in comparison to the water he was carrying in his eyes. The touch of Rey's hand, the longing in his eyes seemed to overwhelm Taani. But the sweetest part was Taani drying his hair. It's these little gestures that speak volumes about our feelings. She cares...she still does.
Coming to their conversation, how can anyone not feel for either of them? Rey was pouring his heart out...but Taani's stance too made sense. Rey meant well and his intentions were noble. But fact of the matter is, he aimed to mould Taani into a different person, without her consent. Naturally he looked at the situation through his eyes, but forgot that Taani's view would not necessarily be the same. When we make decisions, we have to be prepared for the consequences. The same goes for Rey. His "master plan" was for the betterment of Taani's future, but we cannot "plan" anyone's direction. They must find it themselves and follow their own path with their own will.
The entire scene between them was an unbelievable combination of beauty and pain. The beauty of the love that they share...and the pain of distance, created by circumstances, more than anything. I was left with a lump in my throat when Taani told Rey to do one last thing for her...to stay away. And the manner in which he said "I love you Taani," tugged at my heart. The tears rolling down Taani's cheeks were a testament to the love she too feels, but will not say.
My post is getting longer...isn't it? Let's try and wrap this up! π And so we reach our climax! Rey revealed the truth to Tauji and as expected, he flips π he slapped Rey?! Never saw that one coming. We finally got to see a determined and honest lover Rey standing infront of a possessive and unreasonable Tauji. Rey's revelation followed by a solemn look and lowered gaze, really won me over. He stood firm, but without arrogance. And with that scene ends a very dramatic episode!
Tareef time! Amar and Vrinda nailed it once again. Their portrayal of TaaRey's love and pain was simply outstanding. They beautifully matched each other during the emotional scene and I applaud them both for their performance throught the episode π
Parting note: Rey and Taani are destined for each other. If anyone even needed a reminder, today's episode is proof. There is so much depth in their love. This kind of love is very rare. People love with their heart. But not everyone can love with their soul. This is an art known to very few...and TaaRey are one of them :)
This is what I call a knockout episode :)
