Now that that major criticism is over, I can move on to what I did like about the episode! 😃
Stranger Danger!!! I cannot express how glad I am that they dealt with this because I was seriously unsettled by the fact that Pintu was the creepy uncle with chocolates because that is code for child molester and kids are taught not to go near strangers who try to bribe them because usually they don't have as good intentions as Pintu did. So while they didn't exactly discount the value of Pintu's gesture, I am so glad that they sort of gave a disclaimer in the form of Krishna's bhashan to the kid. Big relief and great moment for me on the show. I also liked Pintu and Krishna's clash of ideology. This is the conflict I always wanted to see in their relationship. And it was nice to see Pintu take it so sportingly but methinks there are cracks forming more than we give credit for, under the surface.
So the promo comes to pass in the form of the cable wala's questioning. I am not even going to get into what I thought of that chase scene but Mitali looked gorgeous in that get up and I sort of liked how much her in a ghunghat bothered Pintu. I guess it is the antithesis of all things Krishna so it doesn't sit well with him. But it does work out well because she is able to spot the cable guy without him spotting her.
Ganga Panga - So my question is, did TTS tell the cable guy to blame Ganga, given that he knew Pintu would find him? I suspect this because I am not sure if he could of thought if it by himself. It was kind of comforting to know there were actually some cable forms in there and the letter was just among them. That way the Rajs don't come out looking like total imbeciles.
I also liked tough as nails BDO Krishna Raj who didn't so much as flinch when she felt that the physical actions were necessary but stopped it when it crossed the line. She was in total control and got the guy to talk. Unfortunately it only compounded her problems.
Precap: That is tough for Krishna, especially if Pintu does not show up on time! 😕
