Ishq Mein Marjawan 2 5th July 2021 Written Episode Update: Season Finale

who is the best partner for vansh
angre or riddhima

Hi all! As always, long review ALERT! I just saw the episode and I don’t know what to say or where to begin! Ever since I heard about the show’s cancellation, I was pretty okay….After having suffered and still going through my health problems, it was clear to me that there are MUCH more important things than a tv show/webseries. That being said, after watching today’s episode and the last few episodes in fact, I did start to reconnect with the earlier sentiment that I had regarding the show…..it certainly had something special to it….an indescribable charm, from that magical Riansh dance at Ishani’s wedding sangeet when RIddhima genuinely smiled at Vansh for the first time when he lifted her, to the last scene when Vansh planted his classic gentle kiss on RIddhu’s forehead as they drove away to a better and simpler life together. The series was far from perfect…..perhaps, if I wasn’t so emotionally connected to it and looked at it from an objective perspective, I would have found my or other people’s obsession with it a bit strange. But what could I do, I was mesmerized by RIansh’s love story, the heartfelt and natural acting by the cast, the impressive work ethic of the crew, and the poignant dialogues and emotional scenes given by the writers, as well as the beautifully complex characters created by Mamta Patnaik and her team, and often wonderfully staged episodes by the directors…it was truly a labor of love! I know we are all upset that the show was cancelled just shy of one year of broadcasting, but there’s a life lesson in all of this….hard work does pay off….our show may have had a short lifespan, but it did connect with its audiences in such a way that even some of the biggest series cannot. I think that’s pretty impressive, don’t you?

Now that the series is over, I’m fine, but it will be a bit strange that my daily routine of writing reviews and looking at the IG accounts of the cast (namely Helly and Rrahul) will be over….This past year or so of watching IMM2 was like being transported in a beautiful dream, but I’m also ready to step back into reality and spend my energy and time on living more life, and watching less tv…..though if there’s an IMM3, you best believe that I will hurry back to my computer screen haha! I’ve said enough, but I just want to say that it was an incredible series, with just an unbelievable charm. I never EVER imagined myself joining a fan community for a series, and felt at times strange for doing so, but I’m glad that I got to cross paths (in a virtual scene, of course) with so many wonderful, intelligent, funny, and compassionate people….y’all are all so amazing and I wish you the best in whatever you are doing or will do. On a personal level, thanks so much for showering me with your prayers and well wishes amidst my health problems, or what I want to term as my wellness journey (to be optimistic) lol! As a side note, I know a good chunk of the fandom didn’t really care about Rrahel as a couple off-screen, but I was one of those shippers lol, and it’s one part of my obsession related to the series that I’m not very proud of haha….In any case, after today’s live with Rrahul and Helly, it’s pretty clear that they’re just colleagues who share a healthy professional relationship….I’m glad that’s cleared up and I wish them the best in their professional and personal lives. I can’t wait to see what they will do next with their careers, and it was nice to see Rrahul in better spirits…..though I didn’t love his new haircut, but he still looks good!

Okay, after a VERY long preface to my introduction (anyone still here haha?), let’s talk about the episode. Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about it. Being the nitpicky person that I am, I have to say there were many flaws to it. I 100% agree that the makers did their best to wrap up the story in a nice way, especially given that they were made aware of the show’s cancellation only a little while before the last episode was shot….so no shade whatsoever to them. That being said, I just wish the final episode was longer or better developed. The first half of the episode was spent on RIddhu questioning Vansh and unnecessary pauses and prolonged reactions….if you’re rushing the storyline, shouldn’t you actually add more scenes or more content as well? Plus, Dadi’s and Vyom’s deaths seemed pretty fake and lacked the poignancy that they deserved….though the makers did remind us of Dadi’s goodness and her seminal role in bringing RIansh together, thereby creating the beautiful love story we were fascinated by, in her final moments through flashbacks…..in seeing Dadi’s evil side, how could we (or at least I) have forgotten that Dadi really brought Riansh together….shame on me lol! Plus, I was really hoping for some redemption for Vyom, but no….he died a quick death, with little emotion and without ever knowing who killed his family…..what a shame for such a developed and rich character. Plus, Aryan…..there was not much character development there either…..his last words were, I need a drink or something like that….besides being a murderer now, he was neither punished or even found responsible for Gayu’s death nor evolved from being a spoiled, penniless, brat….I’m not saying that I wanted him to turn good or anything, but I just felt that something different should have happened to him. I also wish that the supporting characters, e.g. Angre (especially), as well as Ishani, Siya, Aryan, and fake Chachi (I’ll always prefer real/old Chachi) played a more prominent role in the last episode…..but oh well. That being said, there are some things that did go very right in the episode….I said earlier on that the series is imperfect but what connected me to it was it’s charm, and this final episode was just a reflection of that….the good moments were great and magical moments! Angre tearfully reading Vansh’s final words to him and expressing the significance of their relationship, touched me….hats off to Zayn, my tears commenced with your dialogue delivery….I’m so proud of your acting journey throughout this series! Plus, of course, we had our final Riansh moment…..and how beautiful was it, the dialogues were a bit lengthy, but still I felt every word of them and RIansh/Rrahel…..they did a phenomenal job….just their glances at one another, Vansh’s sweet kiss on RIddhima’s forehead, and them driving away along the beautiful teafields to a promise of a better life, filled me with joy and sadness….at least they got their much deserved happy ending (with our Dottu of course)! Okay, my apologies again, now after a VERY long introduction, let’s get to the actual review! Just bear with me, if anyone is still reading!
The Siya-Riddhima scene: How did RIddhima never find out Vansh’s birthday before….but oh well? Also, does Siya not know how to hold onto a secret, but I suppose it was good for RIddhima in this way.
The first Riansh scene: Ouch, the way Vansh threw that cake after Riddhima so innocently and lovingly baked it, and brought it to him was so sad….dude, you need to chill and be a bit more mature. Then again, I suppose he is just trying to be his most honest self around the person that he loves the most. Also, in this scene, I realized why I like RIddhima so much….she’s really resilient, despite ALL of the horrible things she has experienced in her life and still never ceases to be optimistic and happy…that’s the definition of strength right there in my opinion. When she was talking about how she doesn’t even know her birth date, but just selected a day, and decided to celebrate her birthday then, to feel happy, I got a bit emotional…..But then, Vansh just had to say, “not everyone is as lucky as you that they like to celebrate their birthday”….boy, the girl has also been through a lot. But again, I understand Vansh is very emotionally broken, especially given what actually happened on his birthday in the past. As a side note, if RIddhu doesn’t know her real birthday, that means the kundali (horoscope) Dadi got of RIansh was inaccurate…maybe their future isn’t all gloom and doom in their future as the priest suggested lol…but I digress. Plus, I loved how gently, calmly, and directly Riddhima asked Vansh about his birthday secret and the hidden room….ordinarly, he wouldn’t have been as upfront about it to her, but this time since it was the finale, he was! Also, I always wanted the series to explore Vansh’s relationship with his dad, so I’m happy the final secret was related to him….but at the same time, I was a bit surprised that Vansh didn’t express any anger or resentment to his dad, since throughout the series he seemed to not even be fond of the man….but I guess he was dealing with a lot of complex emotions towards his father involving guilt for not protecting him, resentment towards his father for not protecting him in jail, and just love! After seeing that Vansh actually missed his dad and felt guilty about not going to the deal in his place where the latter eventually was murdered, made me feel sad….Vansh was carrying so much pain for so long….but it’s good that he’s being more open about this before he becomes a father himself! However, it would have been nice if we at least saw a photo of Vansh’s dad…to see where Vansh got his good looks from haha! Jokes aside, I think if we saw the dad in a flashback, we could connect with the character and Vansh’s backstory more, but oh well!
The Dadi-black box scene: Why did they have to spend so much time just posing the camera on Dadi without her doing much lol? And wow, ITV Dadi was just awakened….yay. I always knew no matter how evil she could be, she loved Vansh deeply, so I’m happy that she finally had the courage to confront him! And finally, Dadi stood up to Vyom….he really harassed her, and as much as I disliked OTT Dadi, I did feel bad for her in those scenes.
The RIansh, Dadi, and Vyom, scene: Wow, finally RIansh came at the right moment….And the big Dadi mystery was that Vyom killed Vansh’s dad on Dadi’s behest (well kind of)…We had all suspected that Dadi killed her son, but I didn’t actually think Vyom killed him…..plus, from Vyom’s earlier threats to Dadi, it seemed that Ajay died when Vansh and Vyom were much younger….but I suppose that’s another plot inconsistency! Also, why would Dadi give Vyom ALL the secrets of VR empire in exchange for killing her son….didn’t she want her son dead because he was going to do a deal against her wishes that would be bad for the business? Additionally, was Vyom just after the black box for Dadi’s recording…..why would she be willing to give the black box to him to further incriminate herself…..she could have just destroyed it, so if Vyom even accused her infront of Vansh for killing her son, Vansh would have never believed Vyom without any proof….but oh well. And it was interesting seeing Vansh so emotional and unsettled at the same time, hearing Vyom’s accusations against Dadi…..Rrahul conveyed the emotions beautifully with his eyes! Just seeing Vansh crying as he was questioning Dadi in a state of disbelief was so touching. Also, Dadi was a hypocrite….she said that Rai SInghanias never work with the enemy, but she solicited Vyom’s help in killing her son, knowing that he wanted to avenge his wife and child….wow. But, at the same time, she did say she wanted to call off the murder, but clearly Vyom used the situation to his advantage and killed Ajay anyways…..honestly, I can’t fully blame Dadi, even if she did do a lot of morally questionable things. Plus, I was really hoping that Vyom was good at heart or got some redemption, but he really was like a bottom feeder….even after killing Vansh’s dad to avenge his family, he wasn’t satisfied, and still hellbent on menacing the Rai Singhanias! Additionally, the Dadi death scene, or rather the gunshot, seemed fake, but the emotions were there (even if the scene was too rushed)….I loved how Vansh just shot Vyom without even thinking (I love the former’s fierce side), but at the same time I think Vyom deserved a better/more epic death. It would have been nice for him and us to know who actually killed his family. If there is ever an IMM3 (though I’m not holding my breath for it haha), I still think Vyom could be in it….If Vansh can survive falling down thousands of feet, I’m sure Vyom can survive one bullet….though he isn’t VR, so let’s see! It’s clear there was more left to be explored in Vyom’s story. In any case, Vyom may not have gotten his redemption, but Dadi did! I loved Vansh’s emotion when he was looking at his dying grandmother….their bond and the love that they shared (even when she was evil) was truly special….I was really waiting for a great acting moment from Rrahul in the Siliguri episodes (as Hellly and Vyom, and even Zayn had such beautiful ones in recent episodes), and I think this scene and the emotions that Rrahul conveyed with his eyes was what I was waiting for…..just the immense sadness and loss of someone so special to him, plus the immense shock of the whole situation was so evident. That final hug between Vansh and his grandmother was everything! Also, I’ve always said that one flaw doesn’t make someone bad or erase all the good that they have done and vice versa….I loved the flashbacks of Dadi….they reminded us (and apparently even RIddhima who was completely emotional, though interestingly did not call the ambulance even when Vansh asked her to haha) that even though Dadi did A LOT of bad things, she did have a good side to her, and that’s probably why Vansh loved her so much. We assume that Vansh doesn’t see the evilness in his family, but he probably did, but just lived with them long enough (especially in Dadi’s case and was raised and loved by her) to also see the good in them. Here, we were reminded that Dadi (and Siya) brought Riansh together…..Riddhima would have been out of VR mansion before RIansh’s love story even began, if it wasn’t for our not always so sweet Dadi! This doesn’t erase her shady side and I would have liked her to say a few words to RIddhima as she was dying (maybe that was asking for too much), but in the end of the day, the woman did truly love Vansh and want him to be happy (at least most of the time)…I don’t think the ITV Dadi was fake, that was just Indrani’s good side! Additionally, she probably felt so guilty about her son’s death and Vansh’s guilt that she tried extra hard to make sure that Vansh had love in his life. As a final note, Meenu ji did a wonderful job with the role and you can see what a talented and seasoned actress she is! Sadly, if there is ever an IMM3, we won’t see her and that will be strange, as the series feels incomplete without every single cast member being there, but oh well!
The Ishangre/Aryan/Chachi/and Siya scene: Aww, Zayn, you really stole my heart. Those were apparently his real tears, and I could feel his emotions…..I felt all of his words and was incredibly sad that Angre couldn’t ride into the sunset or sunrise (in this case) with RIansh haha! But going to the scene, I loved Vansh’s words to Angre (with the sweet BGM playing), and how he left everything, as well as Siya’s and Ishani’s responsibility, to Angre….it’s true, after Vansh and much to Aryan’s dismay, Angre was the most worthy and capable person to inherit the empire and Vansh’s belongings…..Though Angre may seem incomplete without Vansh, I love how throughout the OTT series, they really explored Angre’s character and continuously hinted at him breaking away from Vansh and becoming his own person….they even developed his relationship with Ishani so much to show that he could love someone else/prioritize someone else besides Vansh….I know the ending was rushed and probably not how the makers intended to execute it, but I’m pretty sure the makers always intended RIansh to leave everything to Angre and leave the family. Now, those Ishangre scenes make so much more sense to me! Plus, we never got to see a fully good Ishani (and honestly that wasn’t necessary, she fine being flawed and all), but I loved the comforting and gentle hand that she put on Angre’s shoulder….though, inside she must be jumping with joy that her hubby inherited everything, instead of Aryan….Ishani’s finally rich! Also, though Chachi’s and Aryan’s reactions made sense, I was upset that their characters didn’t develop as much, and they were never punished. Also, RIddhu never found out about Gayu’s death…..what a disappointment…..again, there is more story to tell here. As for the Black Mamba storyline, I’m near certain Khalida (Anupriya) was called on set as there are BTS images of her at the hotel, but the makers must have scrapped the idea of her being Black Mamba at the last second, once they realized the show was canceled and didn’t have enough time to execute her scenes….who knows, but again, there is more story to be told. Plus, our Kabbu never came back, though I wasn’t expecting him to!
The RIansh scene: One last RIansh scene….no matter my feelings about the episode, I must say this on-screen couple and the way RIansh characters meld together have such an inexplicable charm and magic. Just seeing them together, knowing it was the ending, and seeing that they would get their happy ending filled me with joy! To start with the scene, it’s funny that they were so chipper after everything that had happened the night before…..but it was nice seeing them so happy together. ALso, how beautiful did they look, especially Vansh! I liked how they gave Vansh an edgy, casual look and RIddhu a more traditional one….a good mix of ITV and OTT styles. Plus, I loved how Vansh was concerned about RIddhu getting hurt before she got into the car! I adored that romantic music played in the back (it had been a while since we heard it)! And Riddhu presented Vansh with a white rose, taking us back to their first meeting….I loved how Vansh looked at her so lovingly and with a smile….they have come so far! Then their sweet glances and the sweet,soft IMM2 music for the last time….Riddhu’s words, “For filling my life with flowers/roses, thank you,” followed by the sweetest flashbacks ever….sometimes I felt the makers overplayed these flashbacks, but over here, they were merited and hit the right note! Then Vansh with his deep baritone voice also chimed in, “I didn’t fill it (your life) with any less thorns,” but RIddhu in her classic optimistic tone said, “but life is made up of both flowers/roses and thorns.” If I wasn’t emotional enough, Vansh had to reply, “Riddhima, life is a mirror, in which we see what we want to see. I wanted to see happiness, and that’s what I got.” To which RIddhu said softly and intently, “and I wanted to see love, and that’s what I got.”…Cue the IMM2 theme song! Honestly, these words were poignant because they reflect what RIansh wanted from the start of the show….RIddhu was obsessed with the idea of love, and wanted to love and be loved, while Vansh was such a deeply unhappy person, desperately wanting to be happy…..it seems like they finally got want they were looking for! Uff, those glances at each other. After this, I think the dialogues were a bit unnecessary or lengthy, but I was happy to spend a few more moments with this glorious couple….Vansh said, “Riddhima, I’ve seen the 7 shades of life with you, I’ve seen peace in your arms, and I’ve seen that love which sparkles/shines like a light in your eyes.” To these words, RIddhu said, you know Vansh, when you’re with me, I felt like everyday is filled with flowers/roses, and every night sparkles/is illuminated with stars. “ Okay Vansh started talking too much, so I’ll skip his dialogues a bit lol (sorry non-Hindi speaking viewers), but I loved how Vansh said, “Yes, RIddhima our future/coming days will also be like this, better than our present/today…We will have a small world, we’ll have children (so they’ll have more than one DOttu eventually haha, yay), and somewhere near an ocean, the moon will bend/descend and say this is love, this is life, this is Ishq (Love)!” They said their “I Love You” to one another, Vansh placed a sweet kiss on RIddhu’s forehead, and they drove off across the tea fields…..Wow, just like that it was over! I never knew what to expect from the ending, but I’m happy RIansh got their happy ending, and I always felt that they would leave the family, though not under such circumstances. I’m happy that Vansh is a real Rai Singhania….personally, that name and prestige really suited his character! ALso, it’s good that he willingly left his family, instead of feeling obligated to do so because he wasn’t the heir to the fortune….it just shows he chose Riddhima/his happiness over everything else and Riansh are only each other’s and no one else’s (except Dottu’s parents, of course). Not to mention that the fact Vansh is a Rai SInghania means that he could always come back to the family and VR mansion in IMM3, because if he wasn’t part of the family, he would have no reason for returning! That being said, I felt Vansh just leaving his family like this seemed so un-Vansh like. He isn’t someone to run away from his problems or duty….though given that Dadi thought of killing her son for the business, and Vansh probably felt so guilty he couldn’t save either of his parents, or Dadi from Vyom, does make good enough reason for him to stop caring about his business or family. Plus, Angre proved worthy enough to finally take over the business. Lastly, I think Siliguri and those tea fields were a nice location to end this story, and made for a very picturesque location….However, I dearly miss our VR mansion, and would have liked to see RIansh leaving all the baggage related to that wretched, yet beloved house behind. Apparently, there is a video on Twitter that someone shot inside the studio, and the mansion is completely scrapped from inside…..how sad!
Final words: Sorry for writing so much today, but there is never a better occasion to do so. I certainly will never write so much about another series or even join another fan community….I need my life back lol after how much time I spent watching this series, but I enjoyed every second of it, and chatting with all of you. Plus, I’m a bit sad that there were still some loopholes or unresolved aspects to the story. However, I do think that the loose ends were not so significant that us viewers would be so upset by them, but at the same time, there were still plentiful that if there is an IMM3 with the same cast, there will be other storylines to explore….I actually think the writers did this purposely and managed to give us a decent balance of closure and intrigue at the same time. That being said, I’m not going to wait for an IMM3 because it would be hard to gather the entire cast together again and they may not even want to do it, after having had some time away from their characters. But if it ever happens, I will be thrilled and watch it like everyone else! Sorry, if aspects of my review were too lengthy or may have seemed a bit harsh, but I was just expressing my own complicated and conflicting views on the show and my somewhat unhealthy obsession with it haha! But one thing is certain, it was a lovely ride and beautiful experience getting to “know” the cast, characters, and all of you! Till next time my dear fan family!

Sincerely,
Shubhangi
