Bandham July 2007 Archives - Page 2

I'm in India right now and after a long while, I did see today's episode...but I only saw the first few min, b'coz the power supply soon went off! Such problems are common here and we need to bear with that.

I lost track of the storyline, but from your updates, this is the first part of today's episode:

Highlight: Jeeva and Venkat (Pottu? Surya?) meet face-to-face for the first time.

Venkat and his friend rescue Thamira from her kidnappers, and in the process, Venkat gets injured on his head. Meanwhile, at Natraj's house, Natraj is kept under house arrest by the police. Kalpana and Jeeva are with him. Since Natraj exceeds the time limit for returning Thamira to police custody, the police are about to take him into the police jeep, much against Jeeva pleas. Just then, Thamira gets down from an auto with Venkat in front of Natraj's house. Venkat is seen with a slight injury on his forehead. Everyone is stunned and happy to see Thamira back. Jeeva is speechless with joy and asks Thamira why she disappeared. Thamira is all praise for Venkat, and says he rescued her from some rowdies. Jeeva looks at Venkat for the first time, with gratitude in her eyes. Natraj takes a good look at Venkat too. The police enquire Thamira about her sudden disappearance from the shopping complex and she mentions that while she was in the car, someone kept a cloth over her face and she suddenly became unconscious. The next thing she knew when she woke up was that she was taken in another car by some rowdies...and just then Venkat saved her.

I only saw this much of today's episode. If I didn't read your updates, it wouldn't have made much sense to me. I assume Venkat turns out to be a winner in today's episode...by impressing both Jeeva and Natraj in one shot.

I am curious to know what happened. I will be looking forward to bluegal's detailed update tonight...

Thanks Spain for the first scene,
nothing much happen after that.


- At Adhi is guesthouse, she is very happy their plan get succeed. She cant believe Pottu's plan worked out so quick. Pottu explains her recommendation letter would only have given place at the office, but by saving her mother, he got a place in Jeeva's heart. She gives them extra bonus as she is very happy (her black saree was pretty on her 😳 ).

- Jeeva and Kalpana goes to Prabha's office, only to see the office is closed. Kalpana call him up at his cell, but a stranger attend the call. they learn he picked it up on a roadside. Later they meet up that guy and take the cell from him and ask where he found that mobile. he says nears a forest area. They search after Prabha there. Jeeva finds Prabha and goes toward him.

thanks dasa, spain & meli for completing the summary for today!

1) i only managed to see from the part where thamira went up the police jeep and left baba's house. jeeva later thanks surya (we shall call him that from now on). he looks not interested and was about to leave when baba asked if he was the one who came to the company for the interview. surya says yes but continues to walk away despite baba calling out to him. just as surya reaches the gate, he turns behind to give a look at jeeva, who seemed to looked down in shyness but gives one last look. (interesting exchanging of glances here 😆).

2) surya again reports back to aathi with poochi and aathi praises him for accomplishing the task so well. surya says that the recommendation letter would only allow him to be near jeeva but this whole thamira kidnapping drama would allow him to get inside jeeva's heart. he tells her to give money to the 2 guys whom he hired to kidnap thamira. later aathi also gives surya 'bonus' money excluding from the initial sum she agreed to give him and ask him to see a doc for his head injury. but surya prefers drink as his medicine. they both leave.

[since meli mentioned that aathi's black saari was beautiful, i took a shot of it to share 😛 )

3) jeeva & kalpana reaches prabha's office but it was locked. kalpana tries calling him and someone by the name of sekar answers the call and tells them that he found it by the roadside. the ladies ask him to wait there so that they can come & collect the phone. after collecting, they ask him where he found it, he says about 2 streets away. they go to find him. the place looks like a small forest and jeeva (i think she got 6th sense) says that prabha probably could be here somewhere. they split up to search and after some slow motion camera action by them, jeeva finally sees prabha lying further ahead. as she was about to run to him, it ends.

poor prabha, he seems to have gotton himself into trouble by helping jeeva. im sure she feels really grateful towards him (although she seem to have very good impression of him all along), and this incident might just make her realise her feelings for him. surya will make the story later part i think....

today's summary

ep 207

1) recap from last ep, jeeva sees prabha lying ahead and shouts to him. she also shouts for kalpana and later send him to the hospital. they wait outside the room, and the doctor later comes out to tell them that he is fine (since the buffering is so bad, i didn't hear what the doc fully said. i suppose prabha had a fracture but is fine). kalpana invites jeeva to the temple to pray for prabha as she don't feel too good.

2) kalpana goes to the hospital and meets prabha's mum & his brother, gopi there. she laments as to why her son is now lying on hospital bed. prabha's mum recognises kalpana after she introduces herself. prabha's bro also recognises her (they have met because she was the fixed girl for prabha earlier remember?)

3) jeeva goes home to tell baba about what happened to prabha. she later asks about surya and wants to do something for him, but baba says he came for the interview once and left when was told no vacancy. (It buffered alot so couldn't catch what baba told jeeva, he said something like there is an enemy who is invisible to them) jeeva tells him to go to sleep and sits at the sofa thinking.

4) i think surya & poochi are called to jeeva's company. surya asks why was he asked to come here.jeeva offers him a big envelope as a gift. surya says that he did not save thamira for this gift and asks not to insult him. he says some sentimental stuffs relating to mother (he also says some other things i couldn't catch - buffered) and leaves leaving baba & jeeva dumbfounded.

5) surya & poochi once again reports to aathi about what happened in jeeva's office. he says that if he had accepted the gift, they would have forgotten his heroic act. he said because he rejected the gift, jeeva will be thinking about him. he assures aathi that he will be able to capture jeeva's heart soon. (aathi says some words) and it ends.

sorry people the european connection buffered every minute, it was terrible thus i might have missed out some things. you are free to add on or correct me.

i think surya is using the push-pull effect, lets wait & see how he succeed...

Thanks bluegal for putting up the story for today. Here are the gaps in the story where your buffering was very bad!

1. Jeeva tells the doctor that Prabha was injred in a bike accident and the doctor accepts it without much fuss.

2. Kalpana and jeeva go the temple to pray for Prabha and it looks to me the director is taking more care for Jeeva's costumes since she is wearing a great dress with matching accessories.

3. Prabha's brother calls Kalpana as "anni" but his mother is not so pleased about that. Kalpana is however pleased.

4. Surya refuses to accept 1 lakh cash being offered and he also refuses the offer of a job also. He says this will be like doing something in return for expectng something. He asks Jeeva whether your mother's value is only 1 lakh.

5. He repeats the same dialogue to Adhi who asks him why he refused the chance of taking up the job now. surya tells her that if he takes the job now, he will only have opportunity to greet her perhaps every morning. He can't expect anything more.
But now, he has made her puzzled enough to think about him and in this way, she will be in our hands, he assures Adhi.
Adhi is speechless and then says anyway, if your things work out, then we can teach a lesson to this jeeva.
Poochi is stunned as to how this pottu is suddenly talking at such a high level.
Surya tells poochi to keep quiet and goes away with him.

Update for July 16 Monday

--Natraj and Jeeva see Thamira in jail and tell about what happened to Prabhakar. Thamira feels self pity and says her bad luck is now touching everyone and starts to blame herself for what is happening to Prabhakar.
jeeva advises against such depressive feelings and says we will come out of this and Prabhakar will get well soon. Now Thamira wants to talk privately to Natraj and jeeva leaves them alone reluctantly.
When jeeva leaves, Thamira asks her about jeeva's interaction with Prabha and asks him whether Prabha can be a suitable match for jeeva. Natraj says he also thought jeeva is liking prabha but may be this is too early to talk, he says. He also says why dopn't we wait till you come out from this case. Thamira says she does not know when she will come out and urges him to fix the marriage at the earliest.Natraj agrees.

--Nithila at home and asks Shanta for lalitha's address and says she is going to apologise to her and bring her back.. Sundara says there is no need to say sorry since you have not done anything wrong. But Nithila insists on them to give the address. Now Selva comes and says he will take nithila to lalitha's house.

--Jeeva at home taking food and Natraj talks about so many business matters but Jeva giving non committal replies. Finally Natraj asks why she is so disinterested. Jeeva bursts out saying she is waiting for him to tell what he discussed with her mother. Natraj says he was just teasing her. Now he says thamira wants to conduct jeeva's marriage.
But before he can go to details, jeeva bluntly says she is not interested in marriage, her goal is to take her mother out first from the case and tells him firmly not to talk about this matter again.

--Nithila comes to Lalitha's house. Selva remains outside. Lalitha shouts at nithila saying you have planned all these things. She says you came to the outhouse and then slowly came into the house though outwardly telling you willl not come inside unless you achieved your ambition of getting back the house. You have adopted the same way for getting the job and now you are pretending that you are unhappy with the job.
After receiving such a huge outburst, Nithila is in tears and and walks out. Selva sees her and asks her what happened.But Nithila still crying, walks away.

Selva comes inside the house and hears Lalitha telling her patti that she would have given mnore to Nithila but unfortunately she ran away before that.
She sees Selva now.

Thodarum

Nithi meets Lalitha and Lalitha insults her

Update for Tuesday 17 July

-In Lalitha's house, patti is telling that you should not have behaved so badly with Nithila. Lalitha says nithila is doing a double thing of saying something and doing something behind my back. Because of her only, I was forced to come out of the house and so now I could not control my feelings when I saw her. Selva appears on the scene and Lalitha tries to say something but selva says "che" and walks away.

-Jeeva and Natraj come to see prabha in hospital and see Prabha's mother there.. Natraj says because of us only, you had to suffer like this. Prabha says don't say like that, even jeeva is talking like that, he says. Now Kalpana comes and starts to give th food to prabha saying he must have been fed up eating hospital food for one week. Prabha's mother not so pleased and kalpana hesitates and jeeva cleverly takes prabha's mother out on the excuse of seeing doctor leaving kalpana/prabha alone.
Jeeva goes to see the doctor and Natraj is able to speak to prabha's mother. Natraj asks about any alliances for marriage for prabha. She says she is also on the look out regarding that. Meanwhile, jeeva comes back and natraj can't talk further.

--In Adhi's house, adhi, shanta, sundara are tense waiting for nithila and now selva comes alone and is surprised that nithila has still not yet come. Adhi vents her fury on lalitha saying she herself can't control that woman and now how nithila would have suffered under lalitha. Adhi orders the 3 men to go and search for nithila.

--Pottu/poochi in a bank where jeeva usually comes. They have tracked jeeva and hence they know what time she is supposed to come. Poochi talks about "anni" and pottu asks him what happened to you suddenly. Poochi says you are going to be with jeeva and if it succeeds, then she will be the anni. He also says why don't you think of the crores you will get if you marry jeeva. If we stick to adhi, we will get onl this 10 mlakhs and that will run out soon.
But pottu does not have an idea of ditching adhi.
Now they enter the manager's room and say that pottu is a mechanic and wants loan. They don't have any documents and are about to be thrown out. Pottu sees jeeva coming in and raises his voice and tells the manager that you will give money only for the rich and not for the people like me. Jeeva comes and looks at the duo but they leave. Jeeva asks the manager what happened and he says they want a loan with out any surety or doc's. Jeeva tells him that she will sign as guarantor and he can go ahead. Pottu/poochi are hearing the conversation from behind and they rejoice.

--Shanta comes to lalitha's house and shouts at her and she shouts back. He says you are behaving in a foolish way and now nithila is missing and all are worried. Lalitha says probably this is another drama by nithila since she is capable of such dramas. Shanta is fed up and says you will never learn and storms outsaying he will not come here again. Lalitha also shouts back at him saying don't come to this house again. She says you are always supporting your brother's wife only.

-- Selva searching in car for nithila. Now nithila is seen walking on the road sobbing and remembering what Lalitha's dialogues that you and your mother are of the same type.

Thodarum.

I can volunteer for today's summary. I saw today's episode in India. Nothing much happened:

Episode 210

Scene 1

Selva searches for Nithila while driving on the roads. He looks worried and concerned. Meanwhile, Nithila weeps and walks on a deserted road, thinking about what Lalitha said to her (i.e. about how Nithila trapped Selva under her spell by pretending to be innocent and staying at his outhouse, that there is no difference between a woman like her and her mother Thamira....they all belong to the same category, etc.) Selva continues his search. Nithila continues walking and weeping. She finally ends up at the temple, sitting alone, looking sad and doing some self soul-searching. An elderly woman who comes out of the temple, sees Nithila. She introduces herself, sits with a depressed Nithila and offers her words of wisdom (i.e. the dialogues were quite long - happiness and sadness are similar to day and night, it's a part of everyone's life...take both of them lightly, and you will be happy. Whatever has happened has happened because of God's will. Be brave for He is with you. You may be worthless in someone's eyes, but for someone else you are a worth a heart of gold - so don't lose self-respect, etc). Nithila cheers up after the lady speaks to her and vows that she will not have a low self-esteem ever again. The lady is happy and walks away.

Scene 2

Selva reaches the same temple and finds Nithila sitting alone, in deep thought. He's relieved to see her and tells her everyone at home is concerned about her. He reminds her that Lalitha would have spoken harshly to her, only out of jealousy and not to take her words to heart. Nithila keeps silent. Just then, Shantha (at Lalitha's house) calls up Selva at his mobile and asks if Nithila has been found. Selva says yes, she was sitting at the temple and I'm taking her home now. Shantha is excited to hear that. Lalitha overhears Shantha's phone conversation and asks with least concern if Nithila is found. Shantha shares the good news with her. Lalitha says okay, worries are over...so come and eat. Shantha says no, Lalitha asks is it because his appetite is full...now that Nithila has been found. Shantha gets irritated with her accusations and tells her calmly they can eat together. Lalitha is overjoyed while Shantha is happy to eat her home-made fish curry.

Jeeva and Natraj are busy with office work. Pottu (sorry, Surya) with Poochi barge into her office, without prior permission. Surya looks angry. He scolds Jeeva why she gave her name for surety, regarding his bank loan. He asks her what is her concern if he is in trouble or not. He tells her not to underestimate his worth, just because he is poor....he says he lives with a lot of self-respect and he will not accept her offer of surety. Jeeva tries to explain that she was just trying to help, and Surya says that he never asked for her help in the first place. Poochi keeps silent and watches the little argument. Surya gives his final word to Jeeva and says not to disturb him unnecessarily in the name of help. And he walks out of her office with Poochi. Natraj is stunned and asks Jeeva what is going on between them. She explains how she gave her name for surety since he needed a bank loan. She says she did it because he helped her mother, and she wanted to help in return. Then Jeeva thinks again and says maybe Surya is a bit too egoistical for himself. Natraj cuts off her thoughts, and asks Jeeva to concentrate on her work instead.

Scene 3

A worried Aadhi and Sundara eagerly await at home. Selva brings back Nithila. Everyone is happy to see her. Sundara asks her where she was all this while, but Aadhi cuts him short and tells him to go inside and leave Nithila alone. Selva walks away from the scene. Aadhi and Nithila are left alone, and Aadhi tells her not to worry about whatever Lalitha said to her. Aadhi comforts her saying Lalitha is just jealous and she can never replace Nithila's talent or hard work. Aadhi re-assures Nithila that only she can hold the MD post at their office. Nithila sadly declines the offer, and says she longer wants to be the MD. Aadhi tries to boost Nithila's ego again. Nithila is left in deep thought.

Pottu (Surya) and Poochi are walking on the road. Poochi walks quietly along. Surya asks why he is not analyzing his interaction with Jeeva, like he usually loves to do. Poochi says he gave up and is clueless about this whole game...why reject the job offer, the money, and the bank loan he asks quizzically. Surya says it is to catch Jeeva's heart in return. He says according to his calculations, Jeeva must be thinking about him deeply right now...too confused to understand his character. This is just the beginning, and soon he will have her falling at his feet. Poochi tells him not to be so over-confident, and asks him suppose all his plans backfire..then what happens. Surya laughs back and says just think the best, and the best will happen.

Surya at Aadhi's guest house with Poochi and driver Thomas standing in the background. Aadhi says she just cannot understand his plans...by the time Jeeva falls in love with him, Jeeva will be an old lady! Aadhi says she asked him to make Jeeva fall in love with him, but he is doing everything else other than that. Surya tells her not to worry. Surely, he will make Jeeva fall under his trap. Aadhi asks how soon will that be, and he says very soon. Surya asks her to trust his words and says he wants a job at the security service immediately. Aadhi is even more perplexed. Surya says just follow my rules and everything will go well. Aadhi says she will make the necessary arrangements. Surya and Poochi walk off from the guest house. Driver Thomas looks confused. And Aadhi is left with a disturbed and anxious look on her face.

Thodarum.
