WOWZA! 😲
Like Paro said, that was quite a drastic change in tone and setting! If i had been watching at that point I think I may have wondered if I was watching the same show had there not been Geet and Maan's faces interjected every now and then. To be honest in comparison with the gravity of the HP track and Geet's struggle, parts of the episode genuinely felt irritating and slapstick (don't slap me!).
Sasha and Tasha totally had the right look in this episode which didn't really carry forward because sometimes they were honestly dressed like they were going to a night club and not an office. Anyway, but here they were spot on.
I loved the flashbacks of Geet which gave us the other side of the fighting for justice, standing on my own feet coin, where Geet grieves for the family she had to leave behind. Once she reaches Delhi, I guess the fear that she has in the jostling crowd immediately makes her think of Brij as that is what she associates this fear with now. But she decides that she is not going to let anyone push her around! I guess Brij represents that side of her that is submissive and meek and she vows to kill it!
Pinky was a lot more Punjabi here than I remember her being later. I am really glad they toned that down because we got more than our share of OTT Punjabi slapstick comedy later on. 🤢 I agree that Pinky was quite clever in the way she induced Geet to stay at her house, twisting the story to make it impossible for Geet to say no. It was even more heartwarming to see Mohinder behind this arrangement and finally taking some affirmative action for his daughter instead of throwing her to the wolves.
I guess Geet's plan is to go to the embassy, find Dev and bring him to justice. Oh my poor little HP innocent! You can tell how naive she really is by that Kashmiri Gate announcement that she takes a little too literally. 😆
Now to Maan. Haila what an entry! We saw him at his raw, natural best and now we see him as his cultivated, classy, urbane self. His entry was, yes, a little corny but fitting to the larger than life character he was to become. I loved the reaction to his coming and all the running helter-skelter and all the sheer panic. It is clear that the office is a bit lax when he is not there so people are rushing around to get things done. Sasha feels that she has the upper hand with him, but poor lady she will learn soon.
If I loved Maan's re-entry, I ADORED Adi's entry! He is so sweet and the way he crashes into Maan's muscled chest was just a foreshadowing of all the AdiMaan bonding to come. 😳 I loved seeing Maan appreciate his work. Maan is clearly not one to be sold on appearances or stereotypes. On the one hand he has a woman and on the other he has an awkward stammering man as his two senior-most employees. He clearly values hard work be it in any form and this actually becomes Adi's argument for hiring Geet later, which works obviously. Seeing Maan praise Adi warmed the cockles of my heart.
All in all, I have to be honest, not the smoothest transition from one tone/track to another but still the new characters are interesting and convincing enough to forgive that. I can't wait for more!!! EEE!
