"please dont take my man" Meera literally holds his life in her hands, but Zeenat ask her to cast away the last thing she feels she has from her husband a tiny bit revenge. what i like about the song is the soft and complimenting way jolene/the other woman is described as. you fall for the one woman able to end your husbands life/whos husband killed yours.

this is version 2.0 of the video. where i worked a bit on the ending to make it less abrupt.

notes:
This video starts with tension, Zeenat stands there with hard eyes, waiting for Meera, ready to beg but also fight for her husbands life (but then she meets Meera, and cares for her, cant just hurt her to archive her goals) / Meera takes the red scarf (that she wanted to give Zeenat) now that she knows that it was Zeenats husband who killed her husband. The red (their husbands, a better time) is there but it is unreachable, above them.

And I can not compete with you"The red scarf was a gift of her husband,Meera can no longer wear it, but with Zeenats help she came back to living in her ways, and she wants this object to be part of live again to because it means so much to her. I have a great love for symbolic objects, and as a sub-trope of that of reproposing this objects, change is a way of live, i always wanted to do that (but i can not write) - Zeenat and Meera swap the scarf and the good luck charm both red both gifts from their husbands.
(for example i loved it in fast and furious with the charger and the cross. we meet this objects as the symbols of Doms grief/undealed emotions over his fathers death and the resulting load of resonsibilities/stress on him. the car is called cursed. by people in the movies. Brians arrival results in actions that end with Dom crashing the car (and having dealt a bit with it) when we meet it again, Letty has fixed the car for Doms come back but when she dies trying to get him back (with Brians help) Dom takes it up (clutches to it) with the vow to revenge her, again the car and the cross are loaded with undealed emotions,grief. But in the end of that movie, he doesnt kill the guy responsiblie for it,and he does not run from the consquences. but when there is no justice for him, Brian (and Mia) bail him out - Brain drives the charger with the cross dangeling for that. In the 7 movie we learn that the cross was used instead of rings at Letty and Doms wedding - what i am trying to say is how it most general is doms heart but the way the movies use it both for family and romantic relationships, givin all of them the same weight is facinating. also because it lends itself so wonderful to non-straight (and non -monogam) interpretations: see lily_the_kid "Dear future husband")

Its a video about moving on. "You could have your choice of men but i could never love again" ditchonomy of Meera pushing open the door and rushing to give Zeenat the pardon. To live while you can, Meeras husband will not return to her but Zeenats still can. and she has found new hope - as she signals holding up her new red good luck charm from Zeenat.
in that light i love the little moment at 1.27 to 1.34 (Zennat leaving the pardon and good luck charm in the tree / Meera doing her own little "jump of faith" after talking with Zennat, the live coming back to her/ Meera stoping to give Zennat the pardon and show her that she has the good luck charm) - i like the sense of motion for it.
