IKRS Tuesday 5th January 2016 ep 129 My Take.
An evil mind is forever restless. Within itself it churns revenge , guile , conspiracy; a seething anger that whines and wails as it hungers to upset order and wage war against all that is orderly and virtuous .But then faiths teach us that in the mortal world order there are constants skirmishes better good and evil ! where foul is behind every pretty and apparently worthy figure. So meet the two community recognized good citizens of society . An ageing father in law with an evergreen heart and his young and brazen daughter in law who is every thing else other than a proper lady of the manor. Kanak is like satan who strives to compete with god himself in terms of both power and knowledge..
Yet again she dares to challenge the domestic god's decision of reversing back from his word by actually giving the go ahead for the engagement, a sure signal for marriage between her beloved son and a poor, insignificant widow Dhani. For dashrant his hot headed daughter in law has always been a bother for him, pity he has to use her as ally but still on this occasion too he snubs her into a corner by revealing to her , the wedding will go ahead ! As Dhani 's horoscope also states clearly that any harm done to her will be turned into a punishment upon Viplav's head..thus dashrant gives her a stiff warning to mend her ways , for if any fresh harm, falls upon Viplav she will have him to answer to!
As opposed to the fresh tension in Kanak's mind ,the atmosphere in the Ashram appears relaxed. Dhani silently rejoices as her beau vikal babu with his master brainy strokes won the match regarding the wretched kundali issue with his family. She steals glances at him. Dulari is clearly happy too, as she can see with her own eyes her daughter wears a smile on her pretty little innocent face. But when the call comes from Dashrant to confirm the invite for engagement ! all present, glow with happiness ! Dhani steals a furtive look at her man and he tells her ,with a cocky smile ,told you dada ji will agree!, he'll just say a quick thanks to him! and Viplav leaves to phone his dada ji... Dulari now with affection turns to Dhani and asks her buchiya, what's going on,? earlier without telling her the reason she vanished for puja to the mandir? next she returned and gave every one a jolt by saying she decided not to marry! next she disappeared again and now returns home with vikal babu?now we get to hear the engagement is back on tomorrow! what is going on Dhani? surely she can confide in her as she's her mother.. Dhani replies, don't ask her so many questions! just don't fret so much.. the truth is mayi she herself doesn't know what she wants? but Dulari teases her , hope she has decided now that she will go through with the marriage ,as she never knows she might change her mind again tomorrow! but Dhani confirms , that the very god who planted doubts in her heart , she has decided to place her life in his hands! where Dulari wanted the complete truth from Dhani.. as a wise daughter she only gave her mother her word that this time she will not embarrass her. Dhani withheld all the information about Kanak's role.. as it will only aggravate matters now that the dust has settled.. mother and daughter hug and Viplav returns and his eyes light up with mischief and he teases, wow! what a pretty sight! then turns to kaki.. he's got to keep the bride's mother happy too! he asks, is she happy now ? Dulari smiles and says yes.. but she's wary too as whenever he turns up at the Ashram he sets off fireworks! Viplav retorts ,so correct she is as today too he very nearly exploded a bomb! dhani looks at him worriedly , hope he doesn't jabber on..?but of course he doe!s as he boasts , he had decided he would marry Dhani today! rightway ! but dada ji stopped him and said ,wait one day for the sagai will be done today! Dulari and Inderani both raise their eyes and widened their eye in shock! and he continues to teases the old biddies! Now just for a minute think if he hadn't listened and gone ahead and married Dhani then a bomb would have exploded for certain isn't ? and Dulari sticks her palm out and shouts , yes and then both of you would get such a hiding!!and Viplav pushes his lower lip, like ooopss! and gives Dhani a sided naughty look as she blushes...
Viplav presents a red shawl with a gold blazing sun to his grandfather ,perhaps as a token of saying thanks for going along with his desire of marrying Dhani.. the gift might be way saying sorry , but he still loves him and thinks the world of his grandfather! Whatever the reason may be , but it clearly gives Dashrant unimaginable joy.. Viplav gets his dada ji's blessing and dadaji proudly shows it off to Kanak. as she enters the room.. clearly Viplav with a sulk on his face muses, his dada ji has made amends for opposing his love.. but as for his mother ,whom he loves.. she he is sure, still harbours malice against his love Dhani.. muses Viplav. His dada ji as usual senses Viplav's sentiments and thus he gives his dear mother a humbling task as a hostess !making out that it is his mothers idea.. dadaj says she will happily welcome guests standing outside the door with a fragrance sprinkler. Viplav knows about his mother's haughty arrogance, and silently agrees with his dada ji that she needs to be brought down a notch so he coldly watches his grand as he slams the sprinkler in her palm! Kanak hates their male bonding , both of them humiliate her and she too vows to humiliate them today where I'll hurt both of them for sure! People jeer at her as she sprinkles them with fragrance outside the door.. she went looking for a princess but found a widow instead for her son! Kanak fumes and as she spots the song and dance party.. foul thoughts come to her mind and her savagely she clings to mission of paying both her son and her father inlaw for the treatment she got today! Kanak turns the dholak wala away and cackles quietly at the door , But before that the hated widows arrive and she degrades them by saying, sorry but the fragrance has finshed what bad luck! but Dhani gives as good as she gets! and replies, it's ok second mistress for her to have a husband like vikal babu..her life will be filled with eternal fragrance all the time! external fragrance she doesn't need.. and Kanak fumes with rage, today she will make Dhani do a dance ,yes she will dance like a common wench at her own engagement, and at every step she takes! The tripathi men's honour will be ripped to pieces, along with her own! she muses wickedly!
Let the engagement party begin!.Meeting and greeting happens between the two familes.. Viplav is all smiles and from time to time he snatches glances of Dhani..how can he get her own? thinkS Viplav.. got it get her a drink! it's expected she's a guest..a very special one indeed..and Viplav leaves.. A sleazy man eyes Suvarna and hovers around her.. Kanak acts, puts her plan into action.. gets one player out of the scene! tells drinks server to spill a drink on Dashrant he goes to change..kanak begs Dashrant if she can allowed in.. he reluctantly has no choice..
Viplav like a good host serves the drink to the Ashram women.. but for Dhani he balances the tray on his free hand and offers it to her with a tease.. one's orange ,the other's black currant, take one and she'll get high! and he sways his head ..dhani gives him a noo don't want any. and he moans ,take one his hand hurts. She takes the orange one in her hand.. slyly he checks every one is busy ,and playfully he pinches her cheek , she glares at him !but he is not sorry.. looks at the glass in her hand , and gently with his hand , he props up her hand , as he brings the glass closer to her mouth.. she takes a sip and he teases her , takes her glass from her and takes a big gulp that puff up his stubble cheeks ,and Dhani gives him a sided giggle! Then dares her! he knows she loves a challenge , gives her back the glass and pushes it back up to her mouth and edges to her side ,looks down at her , chivvies her along with his expression, do it! don't worry about it, and the naughty girl in Dhani wakes up! as she too takes a big gulp that swells her cheeks and mischievously she swallows the drink!! before she can pass the glass back to him as he wants to continue to share her drink with her! in our culture,they say eating from the same plate and drinking from the same glass, increases love between a husband and wife! Kanak arrives and tells Viplav to get her kadas from her room so moves him out of the party, as well!
Kanak announces to everyone.. she kept a song and dance but the orchestra let her down.. but the show will go on! for her but her dil is a dancer! she won first prize during Durga puja celebrations! Dhani and the women from the Ashram along with Shambu , shalu ,dadi too are stunned. Viciously Kanak shoves Dhani in a central place and taunts, come on child dance! don't be shy ,you weren't shy at the Durga puja.. and rudely she takes the glass Dhani shared with Viplav and slammed it on the waiters tray.. hinting to Dhani she's alone here, and her son is not here to save her from oncoming humiliation! Viplav arrives, gives his mother the kadas , which are given to the son's wife by his mother in law ... he is not surprised! his mother will never learn! she will continue to humiliate his love! the woman who her son loves! Viplav turns to Dhani and encourages and announces especially to his excuse of a mother! yes Dhani will dance and sing! god has given her talent! Come on Dhani you sing and dance beautifully .. Kanak sizzles with fury.. worse still as Dashrant arrives, Viplav tells him .mother has announced before all that dhani will dance before all.. so he can give the beat to Dhani's steps! Viplav turns around a situation where Dhani was being reduced to a dancing girl.. now Dhani would perform to the music made by the head, lord and master of this household! her dance and song will be certified by the respectability of this house hold!
Amid claps, Dhani dances and sings a Krishna bhajan.. she dances simply, filled with complete devotion for her lord Krishna, Viplav's eyes behold her dance and listens to the words of praise she sings ,her feet tap and swirl.. Viplav watches her besotted. For in his heart Dhani is his radha and he her lord Kishna .. his head rocks to the beat of the dholak, the jingle of the tambour. His eyes worship her moves as she refers to the notes of lord Krishna 's flute..today , right now! his mesmerized eyes turn into the musical ,magical notes of Krishna's flute .Every time Dhani caught his dreamy , almost devotional eyes, her heart swooned in love for him.. love that for them both, radha and Krishna~ Viplav and Dhani.. was a worship pure and divine.. that swirls straight up to the heavens, pleasing the gods...
The sleazy man makes a pass at Suvarna, tries to force her to dance! Dhani spots him at the end of her performance, she comes off stage and slaps the man for making passes at suvarna... Dhani turns into the Durga maa avatar! gives a sample of strength she won't stand for women being insulted.. she tells Suvarna off for being quiet who replied she said was quiet as didn't want to create unpleasantness in Dhani's ceremony. The sleazy man makes a taunt at Viplav, being a hero by marrying a widow , he threatens Viplav and is thrown out by him.. At the ring ceremony, ring doesn't fit Dhani! as the ring were swapped by vindictive kanak .. So panic is set in! as only a few minutes left for ceremony to start..has Kanak 's ring swop worked??
Overall I quite enjoyed the episode..the highlight has to be the song an devotional dance scene. Eisha performed the dance as Dhani.. Dhani rendered the dance without practice.. it was landed on her! her movements clearly shaped up by the words of the bhajan .. besides dhani was no professional dancing girl as Kanak wanted her to be seen as ! instead Dhani was a devote swept away by her devotional worship of her lord... hamle53 6.1. 16
