Great write up AY and I cannot wait to read everyone's take.
The episode did leave a sour taste, but it moved. Malini questioned today, in a very opportunistic manner. I have been wanting this character to just speak up. Like bus kar na rona dhona and blank expressions, ask if he is not telling you! The creatives had an intent today and it was to make a certain section happy.
What bothered me more than Malini, who I usually just chose to ignore, was Adi. Did he keep quite because of his vachan to Imlie? I am still giving him that benefit of doubt. Afterall he has promised Imlie that no matter what Malini didi ka dil nahi dukh na chahiye. I was cringing after reading the TC article, but it was not as off-putting as my imagination ran wild LOL! I wanted to ask Malini, tujhko kabse privacy chahiye? Aren't you the the one seeking audience? I just wanted to give Imlie a hug, BAS. And I am glad this part is over, lolipops have been given to a certain grp and we are ready to move on!
So the last bit, IMO was a stage setting for the dard-games that are going to be upcoming at Tripathi house. We all know in the precap Imlie is going to ask BBS to move on, hence she will get into this platonic formal attitude with him, one of which will be knocking on the door! Fir dekhte hain Adi ke farak aur dard ka height!
But my botheration with the entire episode did not stop there...I was more annoyed by Papa C! This was Papa C's house where he invited Imlie because dadi and he wanted to spend time...but banda darr gaya AC ki koni se? I was half expecting him to join Imlie in the kitchen too. But nahi he chose to just have his monologue with the purdah and hawa!
Random thoughts:
- Loved the T's. Mutlab aaj inhone dikha diya ki tolerate karne ki bhi hadh hoti hai!
- I wanted to give the HAIN! to Malini when she asked about her mom to Adi in the beginning..mutlab banda is telling you blatantly fir kaunsi baat samajh nahi aa rahi thi?
- Adi's expression at lunch. The way he looked at AC...I was like bhaguji, yeh plates na todna shuru kar de abhi.
-And I did a faceplam to dadi ka announcement- yeh pandit ji haath bhi dekhte hain...dikhao beti publically! Apple does not fall far from the tree..
