Mock N Rock today highlights an extremely entertaining , often used plot by soaps and well mastered by IKRS - Kidnapping.
What could be more heart jerking than the thought of a loved one gone missing. Heck , the PH has made a mockery of it so why not me.
Some of us are parents . Even if not we all have minded kids our own or others , Can you imagine a scenario that you take a kid to the park to play and for a very brief moment you get distracted and take your eyes off him playing in the sand . The next thing you know the kid cannot be seen as he is hiding behind the Jungle Gym playing peekaboo . The heart misses a beat and the sheer panic of him missing in front of your eyes and the thousand deaths one goes thru . A nightmare of loosing a kid , getting kidnapped. Heaven forbid on such an atrocity .
Viplav and Kamini the conscientious parents of a kid , their own or their neighbors yet to be determined , in gods cruelty have to face such a situation. As any sensible parent, reporting the case to the police at the earliest is the right thing to do . Arranging for search parties in and around the hotel or engaging grandparents is of secondary consideration , informing the authorities having a larger jurisdiction is a grand idea. Well done.
The police now have the kids picture , a lead and a suspect . Effie cent as they are they have him in custody as well. Beating a confession out of him is how cases get solved and the Motive of the crime can be established. Oh well that is easy - he is a poor bloke in need of a fast buck unfortunately sitting next to a public phone which he dialed for a person with no face . Unfortunate I say coz his mother when growing up never taught him not to speak with strangers specially the one without a face. There is a price to be paid and the punches from the hawaldaars are well deserved , a beating he should have got years ago.
While the police do their thing behind bars the worried parents sit outside deep in thought . Is anyone thinking of the poor child or experiencing the palpitations of a fast beating panicked heart ? Its hard to say from their wooden expressions which I'd like to believe is Shock. Kamini , an aggravated mother does bring up her missing son once or
twice between the hawk like watch she keeps on her husband and the aggrieved father with lost eyes looks at his ex-wife for answers . Viplav you are mistaken the topic here is your missing son and not Dhani's relationship with Parshiya ..get a grip . Shock has a funny way of expression, it can make you do some silly stunts like hit a policewalla for a snide comment. what Viplav needed was the soft cuddly caress from his ex lover what he got was her shawl , which will have to do for now. Lambi Judaiii ...till you both get some sense. Harsh but true.
Really writers... there is more panic when one looses a pet and here we are talking of a kid. You need to make a phone call to the writers of Crime Patrol maybe to get some ideas of how to handle a kidnapping case. Calling CSI writers maybe expensive for an international call.
And you Viplav . Can you not brood and watch Dhani go soft on Parshiya . The kidnapper has asked for aransom. should you not be arranging for that or coming up with a plan to get back your son ? First just get rid of that bandage on your head its interfering with your grey matter.
What do you say folks ? Have i covered all ground or did I miss any detail of the aftermath of a kidnapping ?
PS : For the uninitiated who are new to this series ...instead of me spilling my venom, anger, ridicule and negativity in other posts I took upon myself to write a daily post about the jarring , illogical and indigestible story and happenings of our favorite show IKRS , in the hope that exorcism may cure by obsession.
Disclaimer : This is my attempt to be positive and having some laughs at the idiocy of an episode . The intent is not to spread negativity or bash the show though i am very tempted.
