Quick Thoughts [Episode 57]
- Amrish is a man of his word. And I am so, so glad that he's trying to knock some sense into Surili's head, who STILL thinks that Rajni has caused this rift in the house. Ugh. Keep at it, Amrish!
At this point, I just ask - why. Honestly, any body with a brain can tell that Dhyaan - and more importantly, Sharmila, is at fault. But while only Amrish has the sense of mind to punish Dhyaan, Sharmila gets off scott-free? Why does Rajni get the blame when she clearly went to jail for Dhyaan's spineless behaviour. And if anything, all she tried to do was rectify the situation. How was she to know the money was stolen?!?
Surili needs to give up because it's getting on everybody's nerves now
- Meanwhile, Shaan and Dhyaan have their own issues. One is grumpy, the other seems pretty happy...Except when Amrish shows no sign of taking his decision back. This is serious...
- "Bar mein bhi yeh line hai, kya? I hope beer apni taraf padi ho, yaar!"
I died at this part. 🤣🤣
But I love how, they tackled this line issue with what they do best - comedy. In other shows, it's always what the line represents. Thankfully, at least some people had the sense to question the practicality.
Also, to add on: "Agar potty ek taraf aur basin uss taraf?"
- Dhyaan asks a good question, but Shaan is having none of it today. "Sookhi ghaas humare ghar mein aayi kahan se?" "Tujhe iss waqt yeh bother kar rahi hai ki humare ghar mein sookhi ghaas kahan se aayi, right?" *gives Dhyaan a look that shuts him up*
I was actually noding away at Dhyaan for his question - good question Dhyaan!👍🏼
Shaan was being such a bada bhai here😆😆
Also, when Rajni comes in, she calls out to Shaan and he watches her sashay in with those bricks on her head, swinging her hips from side to side...bets on how much you think he enjoyed it?😉😉
- "Rajni, yeh sab dekh ke, na, mera BP badh raha hai! I'm kind of losing it. Do you get it?" She takes his wrist to take his pulse. "Haan, haan, check karo! Bataao kitna hai! Bolo, bolo!" Instant reply. "140/100." "Good! Aur bataao!" "Relax, Shaan." "Relax, you want me to relax?!" Shaan continues to rant while Rajni tracks his rising blood pressure aloud. Thankfully for both of them, Dhyaan's interruption breaks up the medical updates. As usual, I love the contrast between how frantic Shaan is and how composed Rajni is.
I always wonder how an onlooker would judge some of their actions. It made full sense that Dhyaan thought these two were having some couple time to themselves😆😆 I shall remember to use this method on my own pati next time to calm him down!👏
- Rajni decides it might be a good idea to try tickling Shaan with a piece of grass...Nope. "Main masti ke mood mein nahi hoon." "Aap toh kabhi masti ke mood mein hote hi nahi ho! Hmph!" With a pout, Rajni unhappily throws the dry grass away. And Shaan starts to chuckle.
I think Rajni's spontaneity shocks Shaan just as much as it shocks us! I think Karan was genuinely enjoying that scene😆
- LOVE Shaan and Rajni's conversation about seeing the world in binaries! Shaan contemplates how he used to be like Rajni earlier, viewing things in simple dichotomies...But now, after making Rajni and being with her for a while, he's starting to become more emotional. I love that Shaan is the one who voices these thoughts and begins to lapse into a sort of pensive mood. I have a lot more to say about this scene...But I will save that for another day!
- The bit with the ghaas! So unexpected! I was like, "Shaan, what are you doing?" He has such a wacky sense of humor - and his sarcasm is pretty potent stuff when he chooses to use it! Here, though, both come into play in an oddly impish way...He holds out the ghaas...and she actually eats it! Only these two, man. Only these two can do something like this. Whose idea was it to improv that bit?
I actually have to ask how much space these two are given to carry out certain scenes - their chemistry is just marvellous! They NEVER make it seem awkward at all - be it the way Shaan physically interacts with Rajni, how he behaves with her or how easily he lets things go from her. It's so so refreshing and rare to see a couple that actually behaves like normal people, instead of gasping at every brush of the hand or having to stand up straight for every single scene lol
- Shaan's seemingly endless reasoning process about his current miserable state of existence - every new line of thought is more hilarious than the last! "Galti ki tune, scientist banke! In fact, no! Galti ki paida hoke! Yeah! Toh galti Papa ki hai! Yeah." I pretty much died laughing. A+ for dialogue delivery, Karan!
- Rajni is too cute! Just when I thought we wouldn't be hearing of any more new names for Shaan, she comes up with "Pareshaan Prabhu!" Because she is in Sci-Fi Sita mode, and he is her Ram!
It's such an enormous upgrade from having to hear Cupcake and Muffin every other scene😆😆
- "Humans! Complicated. They also snore." LOL, I love the way Ridhima's voice changes as Rajni says that last sentence as an afterthought. But what I love most about this little moment is how Rajni appears to be adapting Shaan's "It's complicated!" in her own way and then applies it to her assessments of situations.
I think of the best smallest thing about their situation, is how when Rajni delivers a line Shaan used previously, she includes his mannerisms as well - but with a touch of her own robotness. The exaggerated way she made the hand gesture, but still trying to copy him - too cute!
- Random aside: Rajni really takes this vanvaas thing seriously, and I find it amusing how she shows up with a bundle of grass and bricks to create a makeshift bed...and then later, she starts standing guard inside the house, walking back and forth like Lakshman, completely vigilant even though there's no risk...Amazing, haha. What's next?
I am prepared to see this theme being extended to as far as they want to take - maybe next we'll see her roaming in a sari made out of leaves or watching her set a fire indoors for heat🤣
