So Bua's negativity and jealousy towards Aarti will prove to b blessing in disguise for Aarti in the long run in Scindia Mansion ππ
My Heartfelt Congratulationsπ to everybody for the 'Naamkaran' of the thread π π₯³. The moment I hear Dragon , Im reminded of Mumma/bua Scindiya...Bwahahahaha π€£ Good work Z! πππ₯³
Im summing up last one week, the wedding week in my short take!
Marriages Are Made :
As it happens in Indian marriages, the identity or the feelings of the girl who is to be married are not taken into account at all. Rather she is regarded as a commodity , or an object or a tame animal that needs to be clinically examined. While her inner feelings are ignored , her physical aspects are focused upon(Remember Ganesh pujan?) . Till now Aarti has faced heart-rending , pitiful state circumstances, marriage against will , carriage of lies on shoulders. But now begins the new innings(carriage of lies follows here too). Her condition reminded me of Eunice deSouza's poem:
Marriages Are Made
My cousin Elena
is to be married
The formalities
have been completed:
her family history examined
for T.B. and madness
her father declared solvent
her eyes examined for squints
her teeth for cavities
her stools for the possible
non-Brahmin worm.
She's not quite tall enough
and not quite full enough
(children will take care of that)
Her complexion it was decided
would compensate, being just about
the right shade
of rightness
to do justice to

PV's marriage was really magnificent and larger than life with all the necessary rituals taken into consideration. The week has been slow but steady & the marriage season really helped to understand the characters better.
Satyendre Dubey: To revere or to revile?π€
I couldn't read a single post in the past one week but Im sure he must have been deeply condemned by one and all. A lie is a lie & its size doesn't matter but consequence does. What consequence will the revelation of Aarti's first courtship follow? Diddly-squat ! Zilch! Dubeys have already given Prashanth their last vow , Aarti is married now & as-far-as Prashanths existence is concerned , yes it is relevant in Yash's POV but like Arpita's , Both are immortal in their memories & engraved in their hearts forever.
I remember a love saga where the heroine entered the hero's life with bundle full of secrets. She didn't reveal anything to him because she had no idea how madly they'll fall for each other & as expected , her divulgence after amidst the so-called love confession leaves the hero devastated . In that case the hero had loads of expectations & aspirations with his life with her. He felt deceived but accepted the heroine after a bit of deliberation.
Here the situation is perfectly & positively different. Both Aarti & Yash don't expect anything from each other. Because :
#1.Yash knows Aarti is a mother of a 7 year old cute chatterbox.
#2. Yash knows Aarti still longs for her 'dead' husband.
#3. Yash himself doesn't see any ray of hope for their union or a relation beyond parenting each others' kids.
True. Divulgence of truth in front of Scindiya's will make Dubeys pay for their name but isn't it so corouageous of them ? Dubeys were in an ambiguous situation throughout the wedding era & more than anything they opted for Aarti-Ansh's merriment. If we'd see from Aarti's POV we may find Dubey at fault but if we'll move from her perspective we'll realize how much till now he has done for her , the estranged son's ex-wife.
I liked his transformation from a spineless chicken to a brave lion. He was rude, indeed!& that was the requirement of the situation. Prior to wedding he had been shown as weak-willed man but watching him roar was a pleasant change. This highlighted a unique quality in him , he bends only when water goes beyond level.
Shobha Dubey : Pie-in-the-skyπ
How can somebody be so blissfully idealistically utopian? She belongs to planet X where only angels/saints reside π . Ok , she too coerced Aarti to embrace the lies with Dubey but with a pure-heart intention. Papa dubey is more practical whereas Shobha literally balances practicality & theories and walks along. Surelly she is the most loved character in PV .
Maansi: Bite your tounge! Mind your p's & q's ! Zipper your lips !
Even bua may turn into a saint but Maansi can never change. How filthy somebody's mind can be haan?
Scindiya Parents : Whats on your mind, Really?
Neither they are out-n-out villains nor heoes , they swing somewhere in between. Gayatri Devi is scaramouch & Suraj Pratap her controller. Last two episodes made me realize that neither Gaya is a mother nor a woman but a capricious mindless-witch who is absolutely aimless & directionless. More then callous M-I-L she seems to be a gender bias.
BTW has anybody here read Rabindranath Tagore's 'The Exercise Book'? Story of a talented girl like Aarti forcefully married into a patriarchal orthodox family .
Scindiya Bua : Villain of the piece!π‘
She along with Gayatri reminds me of witches flying on brooms & dancing around fire-pots. So far she has not beenTHAT brutal towards anybody & her only grudge in her life is living single without a second chance. Now that she is witnessing two people getting a second chance in their lives, her jealousy is taking the shape of a family intrigue. Sad!
Scindiya Kids : Super Brats! A letdown
I know they all are kids & to some extent , they are cute but too spoilt. It was Gayatri showing all kinds of pissed expressions when she first met Ansh & his uncivilness.
What does she has to say about her grand-kids? Brattish character & super-flawed,unnatural acting. Scindiya kids are big disappointment. ππΌ
Eldest Couple : Needs Rejuvenation
Pankaj is cent-percent perfect. Vidhi too but not to that edge.
Youngest Couple: Smile-Babyπ
Paridhi , we know you might have brushed twice-thrice but it was NOT that necessary to show your colgate smile unreasonably.
Nuisance with some characters in PV is exaggeration , be it Pari's vivaciousness or Aarti-Vidhi's motherly-emotions. What irks me the most is Yash's quietness with Ansh , even strangers mingle with kids easily specially when they are so mischievous & talkative. They tend to get over the top at times making one feel weary. Every character needs at least some subtleness & sober crafting.
CROWNING MOMENTS :
Haaw ji-Moments:π€£
Precap was novel indubitably but I hope she is not considering herself as Chandani movie's SriDevi , Prashanth as Rishi Kapoor & Yash as Vinod Khanna. π³
Awwwee!!! What a delightπ³βΊοΈ
Ansh-Dubeys' interaction was so touching! ππ Dubeys you rock ππ But does it mean there wont be more of Shobha now? π Can't imagine PV without her now π Dubey at home crying & at the same feeling proud of their deedπ 'Utopian' is the word that describes them . π
Ok now Bua Ji! I was mistaken that I considered her as a fickle lady who detests only AarYa but no! She didn't even bear the kids. Sigh .
The car scene was endearing. Ansh personifies innocence ! But why wasn't Yash listening to Aarti haan? Good they didn't look that uncomfortable & were tolerating each other well. π
Coming to the authentic Dragon House π€£ It was decorated so well! Exquisite!
Gayatri has already started showing Aarti her Infernal-Sasu-maa avatar! (By god! She is Lalita Pawar of TV) π Sau din saas ke , ab aye din Pari-Aarti ke π
Ok! Yash got married...brought a new girl...the new girl got the dead lady's name...Now Scindiyaaasπ‘ would you burn her photos?Old jewelry? Or by some means (Photoshopping) change the face in Arpi's pic? Why didn't you get Dubeys plastic surgeries haan? Dubeys ke face pe bhi Arpi ke parents ka face chipka dete π‘ You abhorrent hypocrites!
The last scene had a beautiful symbolism. Aarti would never like to take Arpi's place. π She'll make her own space & will outshine βοΈ Soon she'd be prior to Yash π
Precap! Loved it β€οΈ I swear I was predicting the same! AarYa marriage isn't an ordinary union but the union of two solitary souls who already have a responsibility in life π³ Aarti in not entering alone in Yash's life but is coming with a responsibility ππΌ
P.S. Did you guys notice Aarya's Eye-contact βΊοΈ βΊοΈ
*Me Faint* βΊοΈ
Overall a delightful episode βοΈ
