Sri bhi aur Jeeta bhi - marvellous review!!
OK - just finished watching so here's my mini review
Recession forced Laad Governor v2 to step into a Ferrari but apparently he has no clue how to accelerate that laal chhamiya - he barely managed to drag it past a Maharashtra Roadways bus.
When Sanka Devi v2 was introduced and surrounded by her aunties that's when a lightbulb went off in my head - but of course - Shrenu has classic aunty-face!
You know you are a Hindi serial junkie when you recognise that Sanka 2's mom had played mom in Kekta's maiyya's Kayamath back in 2007.
The flashbacks - this guy has severe mommy issues - the churi mazaa na degi woman had crows' feet around her eyes so assumed she was his real mommy - but it could be the never before seen twist of some cougar broke his heart and made him auraton ka dushman!
What godforsaken land are these phoren delegates from that their evening entertainment is kiddie umbrella dance?
Man - that play set was so tacky - Gullu may have become a cheapskate later on but she went all out in the first episode - that fashion show was like a real fashion show.
Avinash - he's trying to compensate for the droopy eyebrows and overcorrects by arching them all the way to the back of his head. Good looking guy, but totally miscast as a misogynist jerk.
I have a feeling this is going to turn into a bhaiyya bhajan session - but Barun was able to tap some asshole reserves deep inside and totally looked the part of angsty man with Daddy issues. Avinash looks like a mellow sweet guy who's being forced into a character that sits uncomfortably on him.
As for Shrenu - why waste words?
But man - I'll watch this - if only as an excuse to reminesce the good old IPK days - I suspect that's what most of us are trying to do - go back to those amazing discussions, arguments, posts.
