Not an episode to make a rhyme..
Maybe some other day, some other time..
But I still maintain, they are trying hard to cope up..
Bad editing, sloppy direction, but a balanced cup
We all know this is stretching for a reason..
It will soon be the IPL season..
How do we get through rinse and repeat..
You look for things that are different and maybe sweet!
Having said that let me give my views..
What did and did not amuse..
The episode clearly had a filler feel. But it was not bad. They are setting up the stage for lot of twists and turns coming our way, needless to say they have no bank of episodes either.
I loved how Imlie holds her head up high and says things blatantly to Babusahib. She always has been frank and said it to his face what he usually does not like to hear! Today also she walked away quoting how imbalanced their taal mel is! Again true to her characteristic, she walks away giving him a thought to ponder on.
Then came a very interesting scene. This scene was a bit vague for me, but no I did not see AKT not trusting Imlie. Again Babusaheb was being the same old AKT making a video about what he wishes life with Imlie should be. Selfish yes! But one could see his care and concerns for her dreams.
Unfortunately again he is missing the point. He is giving her the advice of being unbiased...but knowingly or unknowingly he is doing just the same. I have an eerie feeling about this recording, but will not speculate much on that..! This could be the reason why some of the dialogues here were kept a bit obscure too.
What I liked about this scene was Babusahib trying to get a grip on how things are changing around him and his relationship with Imlie. It is a different kind of test for them both and they both feel broken at this point.
In parallel I loved Imlie talking to her amma about how it hurts when you try your hardest but things just do not work the way you wish for or want them too. But Imlia ne kab haar maani hai?! She is our vazifa girl!!
I sometimes feel I might abhor Aparna more than I would Malini and really feel bad that Imlie will have to spend her lifetime with such a MIL whose heart is as fickle as her brain!
Malini is a gone case, less said the better. In her statue of Liberty pose I could only think of how a pigeon will fly in and perch on that torch bearer hand! 🤢. Oh I am hoping Sundar and Nishant bhai join her just like they had accompanied Nakli nani! And is did doing her bit of chadathi jawani now, because she missed it last time?!🤪
How adorable ST and Gash looked! Now only if Gash can freaking cut his hair after this dance where zulfein will dance their own classical...!! Such high hopes I had- even the gel evaporated in no time! 😔
