IKRS Thursday 19th November 2015 ep 88 My Take
To me, showing Suvarna dressed as a bride combing the area before a darru adaa in the very beginning of the episode has a tone on condemnation in itself for the widow cum disguised bride! There lies a strange question mark upon her true identity? Seeming she is bride heading to honour a rendezvous with her groom. But the truth as we know it is quite the opposite. She is a widow who has been duped into deciding she would start life anew with a husband.
Accompanied, with a basket in hand.. her garland for her husband, var mala.. Suvrana, happens to be , a red rag in her scarlet bridal attire, to the bull! a drunken eve teaser! He makes dirty passes at bids money upon her for her company! Demands she forgoes this to be husband of hers! and tries to manhandles her. Lucky for Suvarna, Viplav, still at the wayside bar, watches the young bride defend herself both verbally and physically. But the drunk, Benaras burden! as Viplav calls such road side nuisances, still hassles the young bride! So Viplav gallantly in disciplined martial mode , progress forward and slaps the living day lights out of the eve teaser face! The drunken man yelps! runs for refuge! But so does the bride too, onto her journey ahead!.. however, her garland slips on the road. Viplav picks up the garland and tells Raj these flowers are the ones Dhani's Ashram uses to makes garlands.. Viplav concerns also urges him to check on the bride, but Raj discourages him and bids him to leave as he was leaving too. Viplav though seems preoccupied .. an unaccompanied bride in a hurry? the flower garland made of particular flowers used by the Ashram? what could this mean? For Suvarna then begin the signs of ignominy around her. That what she is doing , running off in the quiet of the night ,without the approval of her Ashram elders is a not commendable. But she knows only not to keep her man waiting. she was not going to let anything stop her of losing this life time opportunity.. be it some inebriated way side fool!
Even the rising tempest, attempts to check her exuberance from reaching lord Shiva's temple.. the dead of the dark night, zapped here and there with the zig zag blinding claps of thunder and lightening sound beware!beware! but the beating of two hearts inside her chivvies her on.. Suvarna reaches the temple. Upon holy ground stand the unholy feet of Tripurari the devout devotee of lord Shiva.. the lord in his magnificence looks down upon the bag of deceit! the lord, .watches in silence yet ,the time for his tandev has not yet arrived. But dread the time when the third eye of lord Shiva opens! .Triuprari full of guile receives his eager bride Suvarna.. shows his feigned impatience ,but ensures her all is well now that she has arrives . He says to her the words that will please a woman. Suvarna asks where is the priest that would perform the marriage rites? Lecherously he blasphemes, he himself is priest and groom! and now he will, make her his forever! Overcome by his love for her, Suvarna fills with devotion for Tripurari. He embraces her close to her, pulls out dagger from his side pocket, takes her unaware and stabs her in belly.. brass bells swing on their mobile chains, as Suvarna bleeding body shuffles back from her assailant.. tripruari??? In shock and pain she supports herself by clutching on to the large cold brass bell.. her eyes pop out as she sees the real face of her man! a rakshas!! He extends his hand towards her and she still extends a blood stained hand towards her.. it was her mind playing games again ! he withdraws his hand and she falls flat on the mandir floor.. right before lord Shiva's eyes.. Tripurari bends over her and mocks.. see I have fulfilled your dreams today.. she wipes her bloodstained palm over his face.. let mine and my baby's blood be on your face... he wipes the tip of his dagger covered in her blood and condescendingly he , dips the tip of his finger on it and lines her parting with blood.. Suvarna closes her eyes.. Tripurari.. then drags her body away from the temple and takes it to the grounds.
Viplav is drives back on his way home.. notices some figures, but not close enough. Tripurari carries the body, props it behind the tree trunk. Notices Viplav has stops his jeep and looks suspicious. Tripurari hides behind tree trunk.. and watches from his vantage place, that Viplav.. comes out of jeep.. snooping.. suddenly, Viplav's phone rings, he goes back to jeep.. waits a moment then turns and sits in his jeep and drives off.. who phones Viplav to put him off the scent?? Why does Viplav see the bare minimum? and that too he side lines without probing further into? is Viplav working out on solutions silently? Is he more vigilant, and less expressive by word of mouth? personally I am more into unpeeling the layers of his character, rather than make a song and dance about the evil incarnate Tripurari.. his time is approaching very soon..
The storms stirs Dhani , but also contributes to some inauspicious feeling. she walks restlessly through the top corridor, notices Suvarna missing and as a matter of urgency stirs up Rajlaxmi too.. both call out her name..suvarna! For the strength of the Ashram is, they look after and look out for their own kind.. but then can the dead hear the alive?..
This scene is goes against the Hindu faith.. the dead are cremated, The body becomes a pile of ashes thus setting the soul free.Tripurari to conceal his crime immediately , digs a pit for himself.. he denies Suvarna's soul freedom from the prison of the body.. Tripurai digs a grave with a shovel! and picks up Suvarna not to carry the new bride over the threshold, but to bury, Suvarna as a bride.. she died a suhagan, one whose husband lives when she dies.. Mercilessly ,coldly, he dumps her in the grave! shovels back soil on her body! and buries her .Suvarna's, earing entangles itself in his locket he untangles it.. the earring will be a noose around his neck! looks at it as if good riddance to bad rubbish.. and pockets the earing.. probably will use it as evidence against Viplav? by slipping it in Viplav's clothes?
Dhani reports they have checked Suvarna is nowhere to be found. they decide to report the matter to the police. Suvarna's letter discovered and read out.. Raj reads her letter.. that which ends on a hopeful note.. she'll meet Dhani again as some one's wife..? irony.. this some day meeting, as some one's wife can implicate both Dhani and Suvarna..
Viplav sits on the outside jhula swing.. .. Dashrant's words Dhani has said yes to marrying triprari
plague him . The gate opens and in walks Tripurari, just the person Viplav wants to see.. calls him
Tripurari! checks his watch and says, he's very late? he replies, babaa he went to do some work took longer to finish..viplav asks how
did he get soil on himself? it became dark during work.
,and he fell so he got so covered in mud .. and he turns away under Viplav's scrutinising
eyes.. hey listen says Viplav wanted to
ask him something.? yes? does he want to marry Dhani? he replies ,it makes no difference
what he wants, he just acts upon Guru dev's orders.. Viplav ignores this and goes on to ask Tripurari has
he asked Dhani ifshe is happy about marrying him or not? what's there to ask babaa?
she probably likes him that's why she agreed! Why? is anything bothering him? Viplav
shakes his head, erhh... ok that's fine
I'll leave.. Tripurari muses as he looks at viplav's back ,I know Viplav babba what's bothering you? that's exactly what I want ,
wait till your whole household gets bothered by this, that's when I'll have my
real pleasure..
Viplav gets a airy fairy answer from Tripurari.. Surely in his heart Viplav knows, it's him that Dhani feels for..but what does he feel about her, concern? Is it not enough that he wants to make sure Dhani is marrying Tripurari because she wants too.. her happiness matters to Viplav, as he knows her all too well..
Inderani says this girl has gone mad.. it's good that she has decided to remarry.. but what was the need to leave like this? she should have told us we wouldn't have said no this can be a message for Dhani as well if you like Viplav then tell your mother what you feel about him??... Dhani weeps and says it her fault, didn't know, what Suvarna wanted , her pain and sorrow.. as her friend she never assured her.. that she would understand her feelings. . in fact we all are at fault! Dhani cries.. this could also be Dhani's own appeal to her mother.. does she know what her buchiya wants? she doesn't,why else is she forcing her to marry Tripurari..?
Covering up bloody deeds..Tripurai wipes Suvarna's blood off his dagger on his yellow kurta..and holds up his clean dagger his eyes cold without regret.. Tripurari.. are you asleep? calls Viplav. Tripurari pockets his dagger and heads for his door..meets Viplav in the courtyard outside the outhouse, babba what is it? Viplav says, sorry to bother him, but he himself doesn't know why he's here? or what he's saying but he ..couldn't stop himself, as he consider Dhani as a friend, that's why he is asking him if he has asked Dhani about this marriage? Look he understands , he is dada ji's loyal servant, but marriage is a bond between a man and woman Tripurari..they both need to consent to the bond, Viplav reasons, so doesn't he reckon he should ask Dhani once? whether she wishes to marry him or not? Tripurari muses.. whether Dhani is happy or not? he doesn't know? but this he can see that Viplav babu is not happy with his marriage On the face of it he agrees, yes if he says so then he will ask her once.. he needs to go to bed now babaa it's late now , he tells Viplav.. end off! and a much relieved Viplav says, yes of course I will.. you go now! and they both turn away ,then Viplav turns back suddenly ,screws his eyes and calls out Tripurari stop! and Viplav looks at the blood stains on the corner of Tripurari's kurta.. walks to Tripurari slowly faces him and looks directly down at his kurta.. grabs it and lifts it up.. Viplav's finger prints? What's this? Where did he get this blood from? he feels his kurta and laugh's nervously ..this is a ram's blood.. they were offering a sacrifice at the mandir, has Suvarna been sacrificed? If so who will benefit from her sacrifice? Has Tulsi maa answered a devout girl's prayer? by exposing a true Rakhsas?.. and Viplav replies, yes he thought so..he saw him , close to the shiv mandir wasn't he? no no he was at the ghat mandir..replies Tripurari . Viplav replies confused ,really? Tripurari says why what did he think , he murdered some one?.. Freudian slip! fromTripurari.it may not seem that way, but Tripurari is under Viplav's scanner. Tripurari will keep on tripping and Viplav has his narrowed contracted lion like eyes on him.. and his heart set on his Dhani aka shikaiti puriya bundle of compliants ,happiness.. he wants to hear her complaints ,if any against her marriage to Tripurari..
I have said in bold what I had to say about this episode.. my wish is that both su and her baby survives.. her stabbing was a very serious and unpleasant experience to watch.. the way Tripurari dared to do such a dastrardly act under the eyes of the great lord Shiva baffles me? like most of us we want the Rakhsas in Viplav's life punished..vidha apart but still during the episode among other things Viplav is majorly concerned about her happiness..hope tomorrow's episode brings some respite...

Precap.. Suvarna grave.. In a distance a figure looms up and walks onwards hurriedly, suddenly a blood stained hand grabs her ankle ..the figure has anklets on she screams and is hurled on to the side of the ground ..she sees a blood stained foot and ankle flop out on to the ground before her very eyes..
