Things I liked: 30th June

Today's episode was all about sach ka sabse badaa crusader Nikumb...arey what's his last name, yaar?😕😆...Sharma? I forget...can someone enlighten me?

Yeh nikumbh's surname is actually sharma...tum bhooli nehi anu...baas brain ki backyard mein chali gayi thi information😉...today's episode ! yaar, kya batau iski baare mein, i am totally floored and i think neelesh mishra willingly didnot appear today so that our attentions remained fixed upon Nikumbh and his steely determination to get into the root of the unpleasant truth that is clearly troubling Yamini.He instantly understood that what was showing outside was not the reality, that she had perhaps failed to accomplish her task and was hesitant to admit her failure to him...and then stared his mission to ugalwao saach ! today what I liked best is the internal monologue...they are already so much at sync with each other as if they hav already understood what is going on each other's head . Like Nikumbh congratulated her and gifted her that mobile as her prize and yamini immediately understood that nikumbh had read between the lines and was testing her.

Truth held center stage today...Yamini's hesitation to say the truth and Nikumb's DETERMINATION to make her say the truth😆

Oh yes, bechari yamini already has tasted Nikumbh's wrath and she has reason to be afraid of speaking the truth...such temper he has!.but wat I decided after watching the episode 3 times that yamini is more unwilling to face the disappointment and her unwillingness to let him down. she has that eager to please type thing in her personality towards the persons she deems important in her life...unknowingly nikumbh has occupied that place in her mind and she has too much admiration and respect for him to let herself fall in his eyes...bechari in such a dilemma.😳 good that she unburdened her deadlock situation atleast to shaheen,though she couldnt help her much. I liked shaheen's witty comment,"when A girl's mind is not in her clothes and sarees, then something v serious in brewing inside her" and ofcourse some thing very disquieting is preoccupying yamini now a days...thoughts of Nikumbh -----what he would like, how to get in his good book, to gain his trust,to make him feel happy with her actions, to manage the fine threadline relationship between them which may snap at any moment bcoz of her stupidity. A tremendous pressure indeed !!


1) I missed Neelesh Misra's narration today I have to admit but I liked that they showed Nikumb writing his column today...the poetic quality to the lines about notebooks brought back a nostalgia of schooldays...and I have a feeling that will be the tipping point for Yamini...the day she finds out he writes the column she is so in love with and she will fall for him that very moment😆

Exactly so ! even I was saying the same to tanisha...maybe she will get those drafts, Azam kept away and find similarities between the weekly column story and them. oh once she realized that he is the author of that column that she and her granny so much baawre about, nothing can stop her falling head over heels 😳


2) I liked that Nikumb instantly sensed that something was amiss when Yamini behaved evasively on the topic of the task...not directly lying but evading the truth...so lie by omission? lol...and WOW has Nikumb's temper made an IMPRESSION on Yamini...lol what a vision she dreamed up of him screaming at her for not completing the task...she's wary of falling in his eyes again after having gained his trust with some difficulty.

ooh OMG, Anu trust me when Yamini was imagining Nikumbh's outburst at her, even I jumped up and though now this is going too far...Nikumbh wat the hell are u doing and then the *snap* and I felt assured that Thank Gog nikumbh is not a random serial hero, ki rai ka pahad bana lega iss issue ko lekar.But then what he did was also beyond my imagination😆.He was persistence Personified today lol😆


3) Nikumb, for his part as always wants to draw her out of her shell...and BOY does he know how to prick at someone's CONSCIENCE😆...the way he would get in a clever line here and there in the middle of any conversation...turn anything around into a conversation about truth and whether it should be told or not...like that random BABULAAL story he made up on the spot😆

Nikumbh actually left no stones unturned to drive home truth...he utilized each every incident happened through out the day, be it Azam's wistful daydream if shaheen likes him, or pyaare's accidental trip and fall, banter during lunch break about sharing or the instantly cooked story about babulaal ...he single mindedly dogged his way towards the goal.Now this is called a determination with a capital D!!

4) I'm not sure if Nikumb himself tripped Pyare to make the tree fall down but he sure did capitalize well on the fallout of everyone jumping on Pyaare over that mistake...trying to indirectly give Yamini the COURAGE to say the truth and not be afraid to admit her mistakes since people will understand and give her a second chance...but Yamini is too chicken right now.

I think today nikumbh tried and tested each and every method that exists on earth to pressurize yamini to spit out the truth : he challenged her, assured her that even if she failed she would be given another chance, blackmailed her (will u rather break a friend's trust than to say the truth to him), mildly taunted her ( she never lies, thatz what he likes best in her😉),mischievously suggested her to do what she was supposed to ( help pyaare 😆) lastly asked her earnestly to look him in the eyes and unburden her baggage to him and that time he got real close but then again destiny stole that moment to return it with bigger interests tomorrow 😃


5) The text on Azam's shirt..."SHIT I just realized you're full of shit"😆😆...actually Azam's t-shirts deserve their own AT...great job on costumes overall from the costume department it has to be said👏...they even variated Yamini's outfit today...liked the new hairstyle they gave her too...


6) The way they gave this whole arc to this episode...Nikumb has a deadline waiting regarding his column and he's managed to connect that to Yamini...her choice to reveal the truth or not determining how his column for the week will end...and I love the overall foreshadowing nature of this too...he'll find his ending in Yamini only😆


Precap seems like khurafaati Nikumb ji will have managed to yet again touch a nerve as far as Yamini is concerned and break the dam holding her back as she bursts out with emotions...saying she isn't WORTHY of this...her insecurities are coming to the fore maybe...looking forward to the epi tomorrow to see how Nikumb writes the ending to his column😆

Loved todays episode.

Nikumbh- Azam is a treat to watch.😆 Whenever anybody narrates a story or recites a poetry you just feel like keep on listening to it.Nayi kitaab ki khushbu, teen baar matha takraao varna kala kutta katega🤣 and backround poster of ped ki atmakatha😆 everything reminded of childhood.

Today Nikumbh was busy taking Yaminis class😆 He is like Arjun eyes right on target. Yamini wanted to tell all but her fear of Nikumbhs reaction and loosing his trust made her back out. But her idea of how Nikumbh will react had me laughing. I think it was a dig at other shows 😆

Today the scenes between Yamini and Nikumbh played out so well. There is that silent communication that takes place between them and only those two are completely aware of it. Both of them more or less knows what the other one is thinking. Nikumbh just wants one thing, that Yamini has the courage to say the truth however difficult it might be.

They have made this so interesting by linking it to the end of the column he writes. Seems like Yamini has reached a breaking point where she cannot burden herself with not saying the truth anymore. I think the relief after saying the truth will make her realize what Nikumbh is trying to do.😊

Some other things that I like in the show : AZAM just brings a smile on face. He lightens up the atmosphere. His expressions today when his mom called and when Nikumb gifts the phone to Yamini

😆 and even random SRK and Dilip kumar act. (His T shirts reminds me of Karan and Tannu of NBT😆 They also had such atrangi ones.)

The dialect that each character has. Its very distinct and adds so much credibility to their character. Attention to such small details makes the show so much real.

Oh thank you for mentioning the posters...I noticed them too...'Ped ki aatma-kathaa"...lol and then later when it was a painted TREE only falling, I couldn't help but think of that poster again...lol

Did you have 10 marks essays on aatmakathas in school? We always had it. Today Nikumbh used every situation to make her say the truth.

LOL I don't think Yamini's dream was a dig at other shows...you are giving too much NBT style UDAAS TV spoof credit to this show, Spidie😆...actually I remember a few weeks back, Nikumb did burst out at Yamini in an OTT manner over the whole fiasco of his act getting replaced in that cultural show with hers...so that is probably why Yamini imagined this.

Achha😆 I don't remember that scene😕

Agree about the silent communication b/w NY playing out nicely...naturally.

Well the guy playing Aazam was indeed Tannu of NBT toh phir deja vu toh hoga hi naa...yeah I also liked his reaction to his mom calling on the phone and him trying to shush Yamini in the background...lol

Yes, dialect is well done...especially the distinction b/w Azam, Nikumb and Shaheen's dialects representing different social stratas within a cultural context too.

@ bold:word. Even dadoo and Raghu have a particular way of speaking. They say hamai and tumhai and are very consistent with it.
