The episode begins with Jagruti making a frantic phone call to a man named Suresh. She is at a wedding venue and needs his urgent help. She asks him to create a fake news video with a news reader’s help and send it to her immediately, stressing its importance. Suresh agrees and tells her he will send the video in 10 minutes. Jagruti is sitting with Kedar, both looking tense amidst the wedding preparations. She tells him the video is on its way, but Kedar anxiously points out that the wedding rituals will be completed in 10 minutes, and they might be too late.
Distraught, Jagruti wonders aloud why a man from such a good family, Yuvraj, would associate with a criminal like Menon. Her suspicion grows that Yuvraj is the mysterious ‘Mr. X’. Her greatest fear is for her sister, Nishi, the bride, who might be marrying a criminal. She feels helpless and prays for a way out of this predicament.
As the wedding rituals proceed, Jagruti becomes increasingly anxious, checking her phone for the video. The final moments of the ceremony are approaching, with the groom, Yuvraj, about to place the mangalsutra around Nishi’s neck. Just in time, Jagruti gets a call from Suresh confirming that the video has been sent. She and Kedar jump up and rush out of the main hall.
They run down a corridor. Kedar takes the phone from Jagruti, telling her to manage the large LCD screen while he handles playing the video. He quickly finds the technical operator, connects the phone to the system, and plays the file on the main screen, interrupting the wedding.
The screen flashes ‘BREAKING NEWS’. A news anchor reports the arrest of gangster Menon’s close associate, Ramaswamy. The report further states that the police are searching for ‘Mr. X’, the mastermind helping Menon. A montage of flashbacks confirms the audience’s suspicion: Yuvraj is indeed Mr. X. The wedding guests are stunned by this revelation. In a shocking turn, Jagruti pulls out a gun and points it at Yuvraj’s head. Nishi’s sister, Kaushiki, confronts her, but Jagruti reveals her identity as an IPS officer, accusing Yuvraj of being Menon’s right-hand man and the man responsible for her mother’s death. She grabs Yuvraj and starts dragging him away as everyone looks on in horror.
However, the dramatic scene turns out to be Jagruti’s imagination. In reality, she and Kedar are still in the hallway, defeated. The wedding rituals are completed; Yuvraj ties the mangalsutra, and they exchange garlands. Jagruti and Kedar watch helplessly, their plan having failed.
Later, in a decorated room, Kaushiki confronts Yuvraj about the news report and shows him his call logs to Ramaswamy. He tries to deflect her questions. When Nishi enters, Kaushiki quickly covers up, creating a story about a misunderstanding. Nishi, unaware of the real issue, gets upset with Yuvraj for talking to Jagruti. The newlyweds are later seen on a decorated balcony, where Yuvraj tries to pacify Nishi.
In another room, the family’s grandmother is packing bags to go to the groom’s house for post-wedding rituals. Jagruti enters, followed by Choti Maa (Kaushiki’s mother). Choti Maa angrily declares that Jagruti will not be coming with them, calling her a bad omen who will ruin Nishi’s happiness. The grandmother agrees, leaving Jagruti heartbroken. However, as they leave, a determined look appears on Jagruti’s face. She decides she must go to Yuvraj’s house, not just as a sister, but as a police officer, to uncover the truth and protect Nishi from the impending danger.
Review
This episode was a rollercoaster of emotions, masterfully building up tension until the very last moment. The initial plot to expose Yuvraj during the wedding was a brilliant setup, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The reveal that the dramatic gun-pointing confrontation was merely Jagruti’s imagination was both a clever twist and slightly disappointing for those hoping for an immediate showdown. However, it realistically portrays Jagruti’s internal conflict and helplessness in the situation.
The performances were outstanding, especially from the actress playing Jagruti, who conveyed a wide range of emotions from desperation to determination. The confirmation of Yuvraj as ‘Mr. X’ and Jagruti as an IPS officer are game-changing revelations that set the stage for a thrilling new chapter. The episode ends on a powerful note, with Jagruti resolving to take matters into her own hands, promising a future full of intrigue and suspense as she enters the lion’s den to protect her sister.
