Awesome episode! Though I almost wish it wasn't so rushed, just so I could really absorb it fully. But I guess the urgency of the situation was such, that things had to happen fast at this point.
I loved the whole transition we saw from yesterday's episode to today's. From yesterday, Kala being totally in control of the situation, to the end of today...where she is just SO desperate and just on the verge of breaking down. Even though she has the gun in her hands, you can tell that Dutta is still the one in control. She has that desperation in her eyes...as if she is trying to hold on to every last bit of control she can still manage to have.
Man the transition of emotions both AG and MR portrayed in the past two episodes!! ππ I have no words. I guess that's the magic of a perfect combination of two well written characters portrayed by two amazingly talented and in command actors. π
The moment I found so interesting...was when Dutta was pleading with Kala. I loved how AG acted there! There were slight tears in her eyes mixed with of course her hatred. There was just SO much going on with Kala in that moment. Dutta's words had a deeper impact on Kala there I felt than even Dutta was aware of. I loved how it was all so psychological at that moment. Dutta let Kala believe at that moment, that yes she was in control. He kind of added more fuel to her own delusions. Just so it would be even worse on her mental state when she looses control in the very next moment after.
But what I also loved about that moment was how well Dutta really understood Kala. He knew her so well in that moment, better than Kala knew Dutta. The reason Dutta was able to get through to Kala like that, was because he knew her so well! He knew where her hatred for him stemmed from. The dialogue, "Tere pita ke hathyare ka beta tujhse keh raha hai" showed that. And as Kala watched her dad's killer's son kneel in front of her, I am sure she had that moment of triumph there. That is exactly what she had always envisioned would happen.
And Kala of course was too overconfident as always. She thought she knew Dutta. She's always been successful in playing with Dutta's mind. Scheming things, getting her way without getting in any trouble all these years. And she really thought she knew Dutta well after all this time! She thought Dutta was still that lost guy...who couldn't always tell right from wrong. Who would still be powerless in front of his emotions...who couldn't deal. But she didn't realize that Dutta was now stronger than ever. His head was clear...and despite facing his sister, he knew what he had to do. Kala completely underestimated Dutta. She believed him when he said that he'd like to hug her one last time. She thought she had been successful this time as well, in playing with Dutta's mind...but instead it was Dutta who tricked Kala with the mind games this time.
I really felt for both Kala and Dutta in that next moment where Dutta is holding that knife at Kala's neck. It was just so sad to see both of these characters in this situation. The dialogue of Dutta's, "Dekh tera ghamand tujhse kahan leke aa gaya Kala. Na tu apne pati ka pyaar samajh payi, na apni behenon ka, na Ayi ka, na apne BHAI ka." What a perfect dialogue! SO needed at this point! I really felt for both of these characters there. The fact that they were in this situation. Kala who was so blinded by her hatred to see the love her brother really had for her all these years. And Dutta being in such a situation where he was holding a knife to a sister he had always believed in all these years.
And I just loved how MR/Dutta had more of a regretful expression than hatred almost. It was more that he felt sorry for Kala that she was so blinded by her hatred. This wasn't the Dutta who was angry at his other enemies. There was a sadness, a regret somewhere as Dutta was 'beating' Kala here.
And the whole Geeta shloks added in to that scene were really impactful and needed I felt too. Since the whole point of that particular shlok from Mahabharata is having a clear aim towards what you are accomplishing. Not getting carried away in emotions. Which is exactly what Dutta needed to do in order to win over Kala. He need to really see her for who she was. He needed to understand her finally, which he does. Dutta realizes the extent of Kala's hatred, the reason for it, the implications of her actions because of this hatred and hence knows that what he is doing is the right thing to do. At this point, Dutta like an iconic hero, had a clear head. He knew what was right and what was wrong...and hence was totally in control.
That contrast between Dutta who was in control as opposed to Kala who was slowly loosing it was really well done I thought. ππΌ
I loved the reunion too, though it was short. I liked the way Dutta hugs Naku...as if it was just the most natural thing to do...for Naku to run into Dutta's arms like that. I loved how there was no added drama/effects there. Just a simple hug. So natural and in keeping with the situation.
But the best parts of the reunion were those of Dutta-AS and Dutta-Baaji's. Aww. That smile on Dutta's face! π This is what is SOOO amazing about MR!! How he was able to portray so many different relationship roles within this little reunion moment. With AS, Dutta's expressions were so childlike. He was a happy child to be in his mother's comfort...yet he was also a good son. A son any mother could be proud of at that moment. And with Baaji, again MR was totally different in his expressions when compared to Naku or AS. The body language was totally different and it should be also. LOVEDDD the way Dutta pats Baaji on the back like that. SO SO adorable! :)) And their smiles!! Awww! It had hints of playfulness, friendliness of course, loyalty and so much love. Aww. SUCH a sweet moment all around! :)
Suds of course had to keep ruining the moment by beech beech mein appearing. π LMAO at the unintentional comedy he provides. "Yeh Sudarshan ka waaaarrrr" π€£ Sudarshan at his best. :P Yay for Seema finally dying. I also loved that moment where Seema was all sorry Dutta I betrayed you again and Dutta's expression was just all, 'I could care less about you right now'. :P π Loved Dutta's indifference to Seema there. And Kala's dialogue there was hilarious too, "Teri mashuka na tere dhai minute waste kar diye" π€£ Even I was like thanks alot Seema, way to prove yourself to be useless as ever! π But then she proved me wrong by finally being useful at the end when she dies. π
Loved Baaji beating up Suds too! π I loved how when Kala gets the gun, Baaji just gives Suds this one big push! π€£ As if that one push was just enough for Suds. :P π Awww Baaji getting shot in the foot! :( I was wondering why at the end Baaji didn't do another one of those phenko a pathar things he did with Suds. *soching* π Would've been a convenient way to get that gun off of Kala's hands too no? :P π Guess that stuff only works on people like Suds. :P
And finally, Dutta with his "Der matt kar Kala, maarna hai toh maar mujhe!" π So totally in control as always! The expression MR was giving there of hurt, anger, being fed up, impatient...plus more that I can't put to words...just awesome! Even AG with her helplessness even THOUGH she has the gun in her hands. π Can't wait for tomorrow! :D
