Episode Analysis and Symbolism - 03rd October 2012

Hello readers..

Namaste, Aadab, Satriyaakal and welcome to this week’s first episode Analysis and Symbolism. When so much is happening in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, when things are going pretty much eventful.. what better show than IPKKND to start off with..

I am sure like me even the viewers are liking the new track “Expose Shyaam” not just because the creep will get exposed but because Khushi and Arnav are in it together. During the marriage one phera stats how the two would be together, support each other in happiness and crisis, and this was a crisis a huge one and had to be exposed ASAP. The only thing stopping Arnav from thrashing Shyaam black and blue was his sister.

They have a common enemy, his intentions, his moves always have a certain uncertainty about them, and this was making things worse. Shyaam was clever, to outsmart him Arnav and Khushi needed to be smarter, but when these two have combined forces the result is obvious, but what would be worth seeing is how they execute it. I am sure it will not be Khuhsi’s plan that succeeds in exposing Shyaam, but a plan that’s the brainchild of both Arnav and Khushi.

We need not be upset with Anjali being used in this track, because she is just instrumental in making ArShi come closer. So for now the plan is set in motion.. But let’s not forget the opponent is a well experienced player.. Shyaam is no fool to not see the things that were happening around him, this necessarily does not mean that he would understand things as soon as he sees them or perceives them, but over a certain time he will understand that a game is being played against him, and this is where Arnav’s contribution will come in handy. The way Arnav kept telling Khushi that this plan will not work is what gave me this idea that it’s going to take both their brains and information about Shyaam to expose him in front of the Raizada, to rip of the blindfold that was tied around Anjali’s eyes.

Mami confesses that she was the one who put holes in the Saree when Khushi came to meet the Raizada’s for the first time, so I guess that’s a loop closure. NK as usual came handy at the right time, because it’s his method of getting Maani to confess the truth that give Khushi an insight on how to trap Shyaam.. The CV’s must use NK in the plan with Arnav and Khushi, it would be a treat to the eyes to see these 3 trap Shyaam in his own web of deceits.

Character consistency was well maintained.. Arnav once again proved that he was intelligent to read things, to connect the dots and also get impulsive. Khushi never hesitates to seek forgiveness for something wrong done by her, which in this case was getting Shyaam back to Shantivan against Arnav’s wishes. Overall it was a filler episode, one to shoulder tomorrows set of events I guess, something was a miss, but on the whole it was entertaining.

Symbolism:

The biggest symbolism in today’s episode was ArShi’s togetherness, it showed how together they could withstand or surpass any crisis.
