Dear Bandbajao,
I appreciate what the writer's doing here. Trying to protect us, especially the Dutta wives from the harsh truth. But believe me, we will handle it and help the emotionally distraught ones tide over this difficult time. Trust me, they will slowly come to terms with it.
For it was amply clear today...Dutta is suffering from Cervical Spondylosis!!!!
Shocking, yes. But after he did his neck exercise set--
[ Turn left look at Baji, Turn right look at Naku (repeat atleast four times)]
there was no denying the truth. We just can't close our eyes and pretend he doesn't hurt from the condition. See this is what happens to a perfectly good man if you keep shipping him in cartons every two months
Some people will now just have to accept that Dutta won't be picking them up in his arms at will any more.
Baji and Naku as usual understands his predicament better than he does himself. It was heartwarming to see the way the two of them helped him exercise. After Baji left, Naku was careful enough not to disturb the neck area much, concentrating mostly on his chest. Well with all that throwing up down and about of the head, the neck is finally claiming its due 😔
-----------------------
Ok, So Dutta was in a hurry to avoid the anxiously waiting family so that he could be in his room with the two people he wants arround him?
And once there, he just had to make a show of bravado by taking off the sling, didn't he? I mean apart from Make Baji and Naku feel miserable, what else did that action achieve?
You know what? Baji should have just dumped that black jacket on Dutta's left shoulder and walked off to his room from the living area itself. I mean here was the man, equally tired, terribly concerned and severely harrowed by Dutta's various antics throughout the day...not to mention the Dutta-management bit in front of Balu. And what does Dutta do? He takes out all his Bhadas on him. And to top that assigns him enough work (Kharcha pani distribution, Tang todna, Gardan Madodna AND KUCH BHI KARNA!!) with a deadline that ensures Baji won't catch a wink of sleep tonight (that he will go without food is an understatement).
Yet the dimpled darling doesn't complain. Why? Love makes us do such funny things, really!!!!. Naku we all know considers wearing Dutta's oversized jacket her personal style statement. Baji, I've noticed on the other hand prefers throwing it across his shoulders (He did so post their victory over Anna).
It was actually hilarious seeing Baji and Naku humour Dutta. The way they looked at each other and Baji signalling with his head to Naku...I mean these two do know a few tricks arround Dutta, don't they? Baji's... tu load mat le bhau...was superb 😃 his ek aur mauka de de and fikar nako also made me smile. Though Baji was really emotional today. And probably a little shaken at seeing Dutta lose all that blood. (Did he have flash backs of Balu's 5 litre khoon quip?)
'Batayega nahi isse ki Nanasaheb ki ghar mein kya dikhayi diya tujhe aaj?'
Loved the way Baji sighed and looked away. As if,
loh, abhi chalu hoga iska record!! Waise bhi main agar batayega ki Navvri sari wali Mona darling ke baat mereko jama nehi to woh tujhko hajam hoga kya?
'Tujhe kuch nehi puchna hai Baji se?'
And Baji was like --hell Naku nooo 😲 Tu puchegi to mereko batanaich padega ki Balu dada ne kaise Bhau ki hawa nikali. Sunke Dutta ka zaroor kiskega. Phir Waat to apan dono ka hi lagega na!
With their telepathy, Naku understood Baji clearly.
On a serious note, Baji and Naku's understanding of Dutta and Dutta's concerns for them pouring out in raging torrents was another beautiful scene of the trio.
Lekin ek baat toh Hai Dutta... Time sach mein kisne khoti kiya yeh kisko pata?
As for Kalawati, this woman never learns. Didn't anyone warn her that Nanasaheb simply hates people touching his precious possessions. He is particularly sensitive about that Ferrari logo. Why did Kala have to go rub it up the wrong way? And was it necessary to brag about bumping off Damodar? I mean if someone stole your bubble wrap sheet, punctured all the bubbles and came back to brag about it , won't you be really MAD? On top of that, claiming she knows everything about Nanasaheb's mukhauta was just too much. I mean he has his cosmetics custom made..how dare Kala pretend she knows the brand?
SO, Can't fault Naasaheb's left grip on Kala's neck today
But I think the two of them are far from done with each other. Have to admit, seeing Kala throw herself at Nana like this is a little disquieting. She still has most of her poise, but the desperation is thinly veiled.
The Dutta-Naku scenes were deeply touching.
The way Dutta paused between the 'Ab' and the 'nehi ho raha' is why we all flip for him.
Naku does know how to manao her man, haan!!! But seeing these two, at times I wonder... inke dictionary mein 'I love you' ka translation kahi 'Maaf kar do' to nehi?
Have to mention some of the frames...
Dutta's droopy eyed angry look
Dutta's messy hair look
Dutta trying to wear grey pathani with the buttons done
Dutta watching Naku ajdust his clothes, righten his hair
(MR fished out that peevishly romantic expression)
Dutta exhaling with lips circled, bending to Nakus Face level, touching foreheads and again sighing (well...ahem...ahem...!!! No wonder they call him Gadha!!!!!!)
And the last frame...ANOTHER D-N HUG
Don't you think I've stopped counting!!!! ☢️
