And later Geet was holding the Talwar and Taweez together... but she left the taweez with him and took the talwar with her...Any one find any symbolism there...🤔
Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me! 😆 I think it shows the exchange of values and life lessons that Maan and Geet are giving each other slowly and imperceptibly. Like I said about yesterday's episode, they are both teaching each other and learning from each other. Maan's words ring true for Geet and provoke hr to stand on her own two feet and seek absolute truth and justice (which is Maan's forte), while Geet's words and more importantly her actions recur to Maan and help him manifest physically the empathy he feels for her in her vulnerable state through tying up her wounds (which is what she did for him, without thinking twice). So here we see the loop closure of that. Even though they seem to be parting ways, Geet is leaving behind a nishan of her traits, love, faith and kindness while she is taking a nishani of Maan with her, the sword which symbolises justice, truth (as it has proof of Brij's crime) and self-defense.
Also as Geet and Maan part, the taveez sits pretty between them, reminding us that this silsila is far from over! 😳
Now on to the episode. Sometimes Maan's appalling lack of social skills and tact baffles me. It is clear that he feels concern for the girl and wants her to be safe. He feels a personal responsibility to make sure she is ok. But the guy pounces down her throat when she has barely regained consciousness with his gyan and his taunts. Thankfully Geet is his soul mate and his taunts somehow always get through to her in the right spirit and encourage her to work further. Much later in the series, when Maan confesses his love to Geet in the fake snow, he says he loves her because she takes everything he says so seriously and understands him better than he understands himself. We can already see the foundation of that here as any other girl would have, numb with shock, completely turned a deaf ear to his words.
Oh, I forgot to talk about the beginning pose and the eye lock! I loved the sense of belonging here and for one split second, before their rational thinking kicked in it made perfect sense for Geet to be clinging to Maan and for him to be looking down at her with a look that was at the same time gentle, reassuring and protective. I loved the music that they played here as they always do in moments of intense clarity in the Maaneet relationship that come and go between all the confusion they face.
Again, I saw a connection/loop closure with the later HP track. The more I see this in detail the more I realise that track was genius! Here Maan tells her that there is nobody "apna" in her house and though Geet takes a stand and declares that in front of the whole village, it is clear that she only accepts it when she returns to HP and realises that they have moved on without her. Thankfully by that time she has someone else "apna" and a new "ghar" which she herself earned through her work and her love, to break her fall. 😍
It was interesting that because Geet decided to go with Maan, Brij was not able to kill her. She was not going to sit in the corner and complain about 'zulm' anymore. She was going to do something about it, only her something was different than what Maan had in mind, though the end was the same. Maan is a loner and is currently also alienated from his family (as we learn later). He has distanced himself by choice while Geet is forced into this distance by circumstance. While he sees the need for her to get justice by herself, she sees the need for closure with her family. This is a fundamental difference between the two. Of course Maan, ever at the ready with his misconceiving mind, doesn't understand that she is not running away from the goal of justice, only taking a detour.
Ugh Darjee. I am not even going there. 🤢 I can't believe he blamed Geet for turning him murderer and was WORRIED about BRIJ. Yuck. just yuck.
Mohinder's reactions were heart breaking. 😭 It shows how much he cares for Geet that even after she is dead and all hope is lost for him, he wants to make sure she is treated with respect and love and goes to a good place. I loved his almost maniacal laughter when Darjee told him not to argue. His dream was of course, horrifying and brought to light the way he still sees Geet as a tiny girl and to think of her being slashed with a sword from his perspective is too painful. And just when I thought he was a little too lucid, he went appropriately crazy. He wanted to burn the house down, for which Geet had died because nothing to him was worth his "phool si bachi's" lfie.
God these Handas are such passive morons. Geet is dead, cry with anguish, Geet is alive cry with joy. I mean I can understand that they are relieved that Geet is alive but it just seems so selfish to indulge in your own happiness and relief instead of grovelling for forgiveness at Geet's feet. 😡
I can't wait for tomorrow when Geet really comes into her own!
