- "Bhabhi, aap yeh repeat telecast kyun kar rahi hai?" There's nothing else to do, so Rajni is double-checking the cleaning! LOL! Dhyaan is such a nice guy! Love the muhavra - "aalsi dhoye ek baar, aur sachha dhoye baar baar, lagataar, hazaar baar" - and the music in this part, too.
Dhyaan's muhavra's are quite an interesting take on their daily situations - funny during comedy, but very revealing during such scenes. So glad Gyaan-looking nanaji passed on his golden book of muhavra's to his adorable pota!😃😃
- "Pata nahi Mom, Di, aur Sharmila ko aapse kya problem hai!" Same, same. When you find out, please let all of us know, Dhyaan.
- "Mujhme yeh feature hai hi nahi!" Shaan is back! "Husband-wife. Sync!" Rajni smiles and nods until Shaan physically has to stop her. "Dhyaan! Best of luck! Hum dono ki taraf se!" Haha, I like the mirroring going on here, with both of them giving Dhyaan a thumbs-up and then waving as he leaves.
Omggg CAN I SAY THAT WAS TOO CUTE???😳😳😳 Initially I thought he did it the way an adult sometimes does to a very cute child () and then I read your comment and went to rewatch🤣🤣
Husband-wife sync is too precious -- Can this become our new #DriftCompatible??😃😃
"Bye bye bye bye bye bye" (was that enough byes?) Her waving technique is amazingly horrible😆😆
Also, love the way Shaan literally swings into the scene. One of the most fun things about this show is how people are so natural with the actions and those like Shaan are always either super relaxed or so tensed😆😆 All with the exception of the one robot who is a stands a little too straight, blinks a little too even-pacedly and speaks a bit too monotously. It's a fantastic way to portray that no matter how human Rajni appears at first glance, she is at the end of the day a robot👏👏
- "Come!" "Shaan!" At first I thought they were walking in circles just for fun, but then I realized that Shaan tries to lead Rajni to another part of the house, and he ends up crossing (or nearly crossing) the boundary line. So she reprimands him and tries to stop him with her arm. But that doesn't stop him from steering her forward anyway. She ends up going in a circle, probably to keep him from leaving their side of the house - and that turns into a little dance of sorts, with her pulling him back over the line again.
It also didn't cross my mind till I realised there was probably a line somewhere on the ground hahahah...What I would've really liked to see is perhaps Shaan hopping about the line while Rajni attempts multitudes of ways to bring him back including:
1) Stretching her hand out and literally pulling him over
2) Picking him up and throwing him to the other side over her head🤣
3) Blocking his way every time he tries to move over until they inevitably crash and fall over😉😉
- "Rajni...this is called silence! The pleasure of khamoshi!" LOL! That could be a movie tagline. But Rajni can hear the fridge and the TV as well as the birds? Shaan is so hilarious, though. His imitation of his parents is priceless! "Koi aisa nahi hai jo bolega, 'Oye, puttar, dil khush kar ditta!' There is no 'Dugga Dugga', there is no Muffin and Cupcake fighting, there is nobody saying ghatiya film dialogues!" This just gets progressively better! Karan nailed Amrish's catchphrase and made every other line even more funny with Shaan's trademark sass! I love this guy!
Ditto to you!!Loved it!!! It's also nice to see that Shaan is somewhat observant of his family - I always thought he's too quick to run away from his family's pareshaani!😭😭
- Shaan is happy and he's a bit more dramatic today, haha. Grabs Rajni's shoulders and goes, "Iss din ka mujhe besabri se intezaar tha! Aaj iss akelepan ka faida uthaana hai mujhe! Chance pe dance karna hai mujhe! Yes!" Fabulous choice of words, man. And he runs off, "You can do it, Shaan! Ek mauka mila hai, you can do it!" With that sort of input, I'm not surprised Rajni came to the conclusion that she did. "Pareshaan aaj kam pareshaan lag rahe hai. Akele bhi hai. Mere data ke mutaabiq, pati aise excite tab hote hai jab unhe patni ke saath romance karne ka mauka milta hai." Suhaag raat deja vu! For me, this is totally a throwback to the time Rajni reasoned that Shaan was getting frustrated because he couldn't do something that he wanted to do...Her line of thought made perfect sense then and it makes perfect sense now, too! Except...this is Shaan we're talking about.
@bold1: Okay first of all 😉😉😉 Also, it reminds me of the time when bauji told Shaan to move to the lab so that they could avoid all the loud noises in the house EHEHEH
@bold2:🤣🤣
To be fair to Rajni, Shaan made no mention of anything else and anybody with Rajni would come to the same fantastic conclusion as her. In my book: Rajni 1 Shaan -10 😆😆😆
Also, "I get it - chance pe *pose* dance" HOW CUTEEE😳😳😳
- Random mall moments. Amrish is the only one who cares to stay with Kuhu on her birthday. How sweet is that? And how sad is that? A bit of both. Another brownie point for Amrish Kant. Shoguta has no talent of her own, then? Being "inspired" by other dress collections that are already on the market is not going to get her my respect. Nope. Matthew is the highlight of the outing at the mall for me! So, so hilarious! "Judge Man? Nahi! Main Judge Man nahi, Investor Man hoon!" LOL! And bonus points for the tarot card reader being dressed in a black sari with black jewelry and a big black bindi! "Eeny...meeny...miney...mo!" Even more bonus points for the tarot card reader's expressions, ahaha! Matthew gets so into this tarot card thing that he mixes up syllables and takes money out of the bowl on the table like a kid would take candy on Halloween! Best moment at the mall for sure!
@Amrish: Scenes like these really make me so mad😡😡 As it is all the women of this show are already shown to be horrible vamps - and on top of that, not only did Kuhu's parents forget her birthday, they couldn't care less about it?? How horrible!! In the previous episode's scenes itself we were shown that poor Kuhu entered after everyone else why the rest of them ran off to do whatever they wanted...
@Matthew: Ditto ditto ditto!!! 😆😆 Matty's a little weird, but he's just as lovable as most of the other guys around! Also, brownie points for noticing his mix-up: "...pure kayahi palat dega..." "Paya kalat dega...*look of horror*" The moment she mentioned someone kareeb he was looking all over the place as though the person was right there😆
Poor guy looks fit to join the Kant family...just as scared of his wife-to-be as the rest of the gang! I hope Shogu and him break up soon so that:
1) He can get mukti from her!
2) Shaan can get peace of mind😆😆
@Shoguta: Just...no. In the most recent episode, Shaan calls her a loser and is so very right about it - unlike her mother, Shoguta pretends to be a great fashior designer but is such a dhongi😡😡😡
- Shaan's rambling away in his lab, lamenting about his sad, sad life. "Pati ko hi patni ka dhyaan rakhna padta hai! Chahe patni insaan ho ya robot! Wow, Shaan! What a sad life you have! Sad, sad life!" So much irony in this statement, but the way he says that last bit always makes me chuckle. It's true that he is literally having to take care of his robo-wife...But he's also the one who decided that marrying a robot would be the solution to all of his problems! Massive irony in the fact that a man is usually the breadwinner of the family, but a woman taking care of the household could also be working just as hard, if not harder, at home. Unless the woman is like any of the ones in the Kant household, though...Rajni >>> Surili + Shoguta + Bubbles + Maggie + Sharmila
@rambling: 😆😆😆 And I completely agree with you! Yeh musibaat ka fanda was started by him itself! Ab bhugto Shaan bhaiyya!! Also, I love how he mentioned it's so much easier to maintain a human wife: "parlour le jao, shopping karao..." Barely 10min back, we saw poor Gyaan getting robbed in broad daylight by his own wife to go shopping!
Shaan, I must say that you've definitely gotten the longer end of the stick this round!😆😆
- Rajni saunters in, having changed into something more sleek and striking, and taps Shaan on the shoulder. It's essentially the same shoulder tap she did on their suhaag raat. And Shaan shrugs her off, entirely oblivious to the fact that Rajni is looking at him intently...if she were human, I'd say she looks like she wants to eat him up. She's not human, but I think I'll say that anyway. Because that gaze is really intense...
❤️❤️❤️ Can I please add - Riddhima should seriously consider modelling??? Give her any outfit and not only does she rock - she seriously rocks that catwalk!!👏👏👏
Watching her sashaying, I just want to hear this song being played one day because I think it will fit too well:
"Babuji dheere chal na...
Pyaar mein, zara sambhalna
Haan bade dhoke hain!
Bade dhoke hain iss rah main..."
Shaan babu dheere chal na, zara sambhalna, because Rajni is a bigger mystery to you than you could potentially imagine!😉😉😉
- Smooth, deliberate movements and a determined expression...Rajni catches Shaan completely by surprise, slipping her hands under his shoulders and hugging him from behind. This has become a signature of theirs, this hug. Just like on their wedding night, Shaan freezes upon contact. He knows exactly who it is. "Kya kar rahi ho?" "Chance pe dance." "What?!" Rajni's in seduction mode...potentially dangerous...and Shaan is bewildered. In a flash, she's maneuvered him back to the lab table and is playing with the wire around his neck. "Yeh adarsh patni se adult patni kaise ban gayi tum?"
Your commentary is spot on!! I just wanted to say, the way Shaan's voice went from a rant to sheer, unadulterated horror-filled whisper...Shaan honestly has no clue what Rajni could be capable of😉
Also, "adult patni"🤣🤣 Shaan you crack me up man!
- Shaan explains his version of "chance pe dance" to Rajni, which is admittedly important but not nearly as exciting. Rajni is not impressed. "That means... *gives Shaan a once-over* Pappu can't dance." Shaan stares at Rajni for half a second before snapping, "Shut up!" Ooh, I think she hit a nerve. These two just keep on surprising me!
🤣🤣🤣
Can I just add one tiny scene to this:
Shaan: "Please hold that wire"
Rajni: *watches it fall*
COMMAND NOT ACCEPTED SHAAN.
- Grumbling about all the viruses in Rajni's system, Shaan starts typing away on his laptop, while Rajni watches him. Her expression has softened now. "Aap mere parts ka khayal rakhte hai. Mujhe bhi aapka khayal rakhna chahiye. Insaanon ko bhi servicing ki zaroorat hoti hai." "Meri aisi kismat kahan, ki meri life mein koi Shaan ho meri dekh-bhaal karne ke liye?" Oh, Shaan. I love you, but you are an idiot sometimes. You have RAJNI! Sigh. Adorable idiot.
Completely agree! Yeh hua na asli baat! In Bengali, we have a saying which means that talent is never appreciated by those around it but by those far away...Maybe Rajni might have to leave Shaan for a little while to make him realise just HOW MUCH possibly misses her?😳😳😉
- Rajni begins massaging Shaan's head, to return the favor of his maintenance check. "Aapki intelligence ki wajah se main bani hoon. Allow me to do this." Once again, Rajni's logic is sound, and Shaan relaxes. Theirs is such a strange relationship. Shaan has an ego, as all humans do, but he is still so devoted to Rajni. Rajni, although non-human, responds in kind, in her own way. Such a fascinating reciprocity between these two. Often, I feel like they are extensions of one another, their lives are so closely linked.
- "You are right. Yeh achha hai! Main tumhare parts ki servicing karoon, aur tum mere parts ki dekh-bhaal karo." I'm not going to lie, my jaw dropped the first time I heard this. Then I replayed it just to make sure I hadn't misheard. Apparently Shaan realized right after the words left his mouth. "Sounds cheap, but...yeah." Amazing. These sorts of dialogues are pushing the envelope in a way that I find worth appreciating. Just the right amount of humor!
😆Me too!!! I was like Shaan...that is just what you stopped Rajni from doing 5 min ago!! 🤣🤣
- Matthew's phone call is hopefully going to move the story forward some more. I like how Shaan reminds his boss that they are "men of science" and that they shouldn't put stock in tarot cards. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future, but it's encouraging that Shaan doesn't want anyone to find out about Rajni. Naturally, my biggest question is...what is Shaan going to do about the robot he is supposed to have right now? The one that is not Rajni...?
@Phone call: I just wanted to mention that I cracked up the moment Matty made a face when he said: Are you cheating me??🤣🤣 He looked like such an affronted girlfriend yaar! Matthew - too cute! Add in the word "with" into the sentence and I would begin thinking that Dev's ideas about Matthew were correct! I was hoping maybe he would thinking Shogu was cheating on him instead hahah!
@Question: I wonder why Shaan doesn't just ask Rajni to help him on trying to build a new robot or something. She's smarter, faster, stronger and in most technical respects better than him - so he should definitely use her help in this matter. Also, where is Dev?? I thought he was Shaan's chief programmer?? Bhaag gaya kya?
- LOL at Rajni's comments while Shaan is speaking on the phone! More and more wife vibes from her and it's quite cute! Shaan is off to buy some parts for Rajni, and there are funny little things here, too. "Dhyaan ki baat ko dhyaan se bilkul mat sun na!" After what happened last time, that might be good advice...LOL! Also Shaan's shoes are in the most unlikely of places! One is presumably on the floor, but the other one is on top of the lab table!
- At the mall, Amrish leaves Kuhu in the Kid Zone to check on the others. He really didn't need to, because they're all being hopeless nautankis as usual. So they all get stuck as hostages to masked men, and Kuhu is left all alone. What a birthday she's having, poor kid!
@Amrish: Why didn't he just call them to ask instead??😕😕
I think it's very obvious to see why she likes her Rajni chachi so much...other than her dadaji, nobody else seems to care about her and they've known her since she was born! Horrible family they are! I find it so unbelievable that neither of Kuhu's parents are worried as to where she went, and neither did Surili ask either of them where she could be! Why do they even need to roam around together - they're not doing anything?!?
"Kaash mall-me acchi bahu milti" More like kaash mall-me acchi saas milti!😡😡
- Meanwhile, Rajni is dutifully dusting everything because there's still nothing to do...She finds out about the mall attack and also catches a mouse. Why was the mouse even there? Besides the link between the mouse and Ganesha, I suppose another point could be the contrast between the terrorist gang, who have no qualms threatening to kill innocent people (and themselves), and Rajni the robot, who won't hurt anything that poses no threat to her.
- "Meri family khatre mein hai." But Shaan told Rajni not to leave the house unattended...I'm wondering, would it be accurate to say that Rajni has a sense of morality, too? She strives for ideals...but here she has to deal with the conflict between her instinct (if it can be termed that) to save innocent people and the command she has been given by Shaan. At one point, I feel like there's a slight irritation in her tone as she contemplates what to do. "Jo ho raha hai, woh bura ho raha hai. Aur main...ek buri robot hoon...Humans have confused my system. I don't understand!"
I think this inate sense of morality within Rajni is what I find rather interesting in the show...As a robot, Rajni's prime role should be to follo
It reminds me of the movie I,Robot by Will Smith that posed this similar dilemma very well. The robots are supposed by the 3 laws, including not harming humans. However, through their reasoning, they realise that humans are the biggest threats to themselves and thus decide to wipe out human beings completely. Shaan has probably fed Rajni these basic rules of morality, but it's important to realise that morality itself is never rigid.
- The courier guy shows up with Shaan's package...and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw him was, "Hey! He seems mousy..." Coincidence or divine intervention - whatever it is, I find this courier guy amusing. Unfortunately, he becomes a VIP when all he wanted to do was deliver packages to people. I also find it hilarious how Shaan returns home later in the day and says, "You should have told me about this, I wasted so much time shopping!"
- Rajni in commando mode is pretty cool! It's been a while since she's gone into full-fledged rescue mode, so I was happy to see her like this. Flexibility, strength, magnetic field, and common sense - all of it is put to good use during this rescue operation! Rajni is able to impersonate a gang member and is able to stand her ground without giving herself away, but she can't keep quiet when Kuhu endangers herself. Kuhu seems to sense something odd or familiar about her masked rescuer..."Kuhu! Yahan se jaao!" Like a mother protecting her child, Rajni commands Kuhu to run...and run she does...right into even more danger. To save her niece, Rajni has no choice but to reveal her face and her identity to Kuhu...for better or for worse. The look on Rajni's face as she watches Kuhu run away from her...I don't have any words to adequately describe that expression, but I felt a pang of heartache for Rajni...again.
Well-written, once again!👏👏
Nothing much to say here, just to add on to the last line...it was the exact same feeling as when Rajni had realised that Shaan had thrown her away because she was useless to him...😭😭😭
I think it's also present in someone like Dhyaan, who constantly feels bad for Rajni on her behalf, and I think it really points to how endearing a good-natured robot like Rajni can be to others.
