Fortunately or maybe unfortunately for this thread, there was very less amount of lulz today. Like I was so engrossed in the happenings of the episode that my running commentary was pretty much reduced. Yaar, when GulBegum throws logic at me toh I lose all my balance. AB main khud ko sambhalun ya lulz pakdun? BUT FRET NOT YOU IKKA DUKKA PEOPLE WHO HAPPEN TO BE MY O2'S AUDIENCE! There is never a dearth of lulz in this Vishwas Universe. Dekhne wali ankh aur bolne wali zubaan chaiye. Allahamdullilah dono yahan maujood hain, Bismillah Bismillah.
I really enjoyed the post-Tassan dynamic of Omkara and Gauri. Of COURSE she had to compare Omkara to his brothers whom she likes a heck lotta more than the HippieKara. And of course she had to give him some weird nickname. No surprises there. What was weirdly adorable was the way Omkara reacted to her. He wasn't overtly exasperated at her antics but i could SEEE his brain being shaped into an "o.O" reaction at the way she kept going on and on about his family as if wo Oberoi Mansion ke garden mein khel ke badi hui hai. And it's because that Omkara didn't lose his cool and had a mild curiosity in his tone that I found that entire exchange precious. Like his face was going, "Gurl...WHY are you like this?" Not what. He wasn't all, "Ye kya hai?" but rather like, "Ye KYUN hai?"
Should I even be surprised that Chacha Chachi are two fat, scheming, annoying people who cheered because they sold Gauri? Yeah...nope. Stereotypical evil relatives. Daffa.
YAAR I'M JUST SO IN AWE OF RAHUL DEV AND HIS KALI THAKUR MATLAB WO ISHQ LEVEL WALA AWE HAI! The chills I had during the shagun scene were REAL AF! Can't find any flaw. It was perfect. Made PURFECT sense of why Gauri didn't struggle. These very close to reality reactions of Gauri of sheer panic, helplessness, and FEAR were just SUPERB. I'm sorry but i CAN'T make fun of this. It was good and had my attention so by its clutches that I could not think of anything but going W.O.W at the visual and aesthetic treat that it proved to be.
What is funny is the CONVENIENCE with which Omkara just HAPPENED to be in the middle. He saw the car go. He saw the car come back. He HEARD enough of the convo to make his very prejudiced assumptions. And then later how CONVENIENTLY Thakurain chose that EXACT spot to set herself on fire. KYUN BHAI?! Uss spot mein aisi konsi shakti thi that it drew everyone there?
Speaking of Thakurain! She saw KT literally forcefully carry Gauri into the room and her conclusion was, "Dusri aurat ne mera ghar tabah kar diya?" I'm like ????? Why are women like this yaar? If Gauri had any intention of willingly ruin Thakurain's happily married life, that girl would NOT enter the house like that. Like i KNOW you are in distress woman but c'mon. Think back a little and realize it's not GAURI'S fault your husband is grade A level ka kameena.
I still love you, Kali Pratap Thakur, though.
AND THAT FIRE SCENE! Matlab best. I had a GENUINE laugh out loud moment when Omkara went in that accented, "MAA JI NOOO!!" and while running he was all being motivational speaker, "Life mein aisi koi problem nahin jo solve na ki jae!" Thank GOD this guy is not on emergency suicide prevention squad. Usski jogging dekh ke toh one would set themselves on fire just to spite him. He ran to Thakurain, saw her set herself on fire, ran back to get the blanket, then ran to Thakurain again and wrapped the blanket around her...and her saree didn't even burn. You're dealing with fire yaar. Aesthetics apni jagah but it's freakin' FIRE!! Fire burn ke victims don't happily show up in the hospital with smear of black mascara on their cheeks. I know no need to go all graphic on the viewers but matlab...thoda sharam karlo. It's a slightly sensitive thing you're dealing with.
Don't even get me started on Jhanvi chilling on the bed with all the three piercings of her ear intact -_-
Omkara hates Gauri now because she is Svetlana 2.0 for him. Had predicted that kab ka so not surprised. But very intrigued of HOW he'll deal with this situation now. OmkaraGauri's future confrontations continue to be logical and that scares me.
I literally just want them in each other's faces now. Main bohat sexually frustrated hoon and I need an outlet. Excoos the TMI please.
