An absolutely entertaining and adorable first epi!👏 The show is very nicely packaged and as the epi unfolded, I found myself impressed more and more.

I think what strikes a chord when it comes to Mahi as a character is the fact that we kind of all feel like misfits in some way or the other in our lives....our reasons may be different....but at one point or the other, we've all felt like we just don't fit in somehow.....the way the show begins with the letter that 'misfit' has written to Mahi and how Mahi replies back....witty yet cute at the same time....I liked that.

Mahi's family is hilariously dysfunctional...and again that's something many ppl identify with I think....especially the conversation at the breakfast table....I thought that was a great way to introduce them....we got a 'saas-bahu' bickering session and yet it was done in such a natural manner....LOL....I already like Mahi's daadi and Dad....her brother is as annoying as all little brothers are....haha....and her 'ten on ten perfect' self-obsessed older sister....this lady looks familiar to me....I think she's from those whirlpool commercials 😆


There are little moments and things that I really enjoyed in the epi:

1) Mahi holding the thong in confusion and asking which side is the front side 🤣

2) Mahi cutting out the pic of that guy Sohail from the July issue and putting it in a photo frame and claiming him to be her boyfriend Rahul....lol

3) Mahi's elevator scene with Ishan....ROFL....everything from the way she plans to rush to the elevator at the exact moment to catch him there and then going off into her little dream sequence after that....the part I really enjoyed was once she's inside the elevator and she's got this little monologue going in her head as she gazes at him all dreamy-eyed....and I think she even called him her chamcham 🤣 🤣 🤣

4) Mahi's frustration with her clothes and always going back to her 'Thursday special'....LOL

5) Mahi's interactions with her 'best girl friend'.....I think everyone would want a best friend like that.....always encouraging her and boosting her morale...I loved their back and forth convo in the gymkhana club as they both sit at the bar and even later the convo when he's driving her back home....I loved that scene! Especially when he tells her that she's smart, beautiful among other things and she replies that he's high on neat pepsi 😆 😆 ....Such an amazing friend!


But my absolute fav. interactions in the epi were those b/w Mahi and her golgappa chor/pata nahin kaun hai manhoos 😆 😆 😆

There is something so laid back and sweet about this guy....from the way he backs off when she gets all belligerent about her golgappas and he says he'll go eat chaat instead 😆 ....funny moment there as Mahi looks at his canvas shoes and makes a face calling him a 'schoolboy' 😆 😆 .....and then when he shows up to help her to her feet after she trips on her heels....I liked that little interaction....the way he offers her a hand and says, 'I don't bite'...and she goes in irritation, 'but I do!" LOL and he goes, "I'll take my chances" 😆 ....awww....and what I found EXTRA hilarious in this scene was the way Dadi and her group of friends are staring at the two of them in the background🤣 🤣 🤣 ....I like the way he smiles at her as she keeps on ranting at him in irritation...it's really cute 😆 ....and the last scene when she grabs him and hides behind him and makes him walk her to the door so she can hide from Ishaan....LOLL....I loved his expressions in that scene....and in the end, she tells him to go and he's like, 'YOU go and then I'll also go" 😆 ....she behaves so crazily each time she meets him and yet he just keeps smiling in bemusement at her.... 😆 And then later on when Mahi is discussing him with 'her best girlfriend'...I keep forgetting his name *sigh* lol...and she dismisses him as a boring banker type...like she totally has him pegged and he's not interesting enough for her 😆 ....

I think it's obvious they are meant to be.....but Mahi will have the distraction of Mr. Ishan Singh Ahluwalia for now I guess 😆 😆

Mahi's obsession with shoes is cute.....the way she's so dazzled by Ishan's shoes and so contemptuous of Mr. Golgappa chor's....haha....

I also loved the ending credits....the way they showed the name of each cast member....really entertaining 👏 .....I was laughing out loud when I read the bit with "Pata nahin kaun hai manhoos'....and 'My family and other random animals'🤣 🤣 🤣


The office staff....the 'kutti and kamini'...LOL....they are OTT in a way....and her boss who keeps forgetting her name...lol....she's alright for now....I think they should add more zing to the office characters.

Overall, Mahi is just adorable....the kind of character that endears you to her and makes you want to root for her.....I'm looking forward to the episode next week now :-)

Aww thanks :-) Her family really is hilarious.....the way they all drive her up the wall 😆 ....especially like in the scene when she's trying to choose her dress and all of them are walking in and out of her room and bugging her 😆

Awesome analysis Anu! :) Just saw the epi.
I agree to your take word for word. Love love love the innocent yet crazy lil Mahi and her random self monologues. Poor thing is tortured at work by those nakchadi co-workers and absolutely ignored by her boss who has no damn clue as to who she is...Megha, Madhu??..lol. The introduction of the whole dysfunctional family was fun. The saas-bahu-bua triangle and the poor beaten dad in the middle of the ruckus. Perfectly annoying brother and perfectly ''perfect'' elder sister. And the lil Miss Nobody scene was just too good. Aww...you just feel for the poor girl..😆
The elevator scene with her jaan Mr. Ishaan Alhuwalia > her Diwali ki mithai and Chamcham ki malai...🤣. She was smitten and floating in her own universe and LOL @ the DDLJ song. Pushtii is really really adorable. Hmm..the Ishaan guy is alright but I like Mr. Golguppa Chor better 😆.
The MAIN highlight for me was seriously Mr. Pata Nahi Kaun Hai...Manhoos..🤣. Apart from the fact that he is incredibly tall (and cute :P) I loved the fact that he helped her at the steps and tried to make conversation. And ROFL at the golguppa scene, he deemed it better to have chaat instead, he probably thought she might rip his head off in the competition as to whose golguppa it is 😆. And then Mahi ji's one liner "Canvas ke joote ...tch tch tch...school mein padta hai kya" 🤣🤣🤣....Aww man, absolutely loved their interaction.
Another scene that had me LOL was the shopping trip with her best friend Roshini. Best one liner in the whole epi > "Ghoosongi kaise uss dress mein ....will power se ya gun point pe"🤣...Sheesh, the miseries of having to shop. 😆
The dress trial session at home and all the family members running commentary was too good, some really awesome dialogues in this one > "Ay ki hai....jhablajiyaaa....Anjali de wyah da tamboo"🤣🤣🤣 "Chandelier ki dukaan"🤣🤣🤣...Too good!😆
And I too loved the Dadi and her gang scene. "Haye! Kitna sona munda hai na. Dole shole dekh...kidde honde...Mahi ko kitne aaraam se utha liya usne ...bilkul feather jaise'' 🤣🤣🤣...And to add to that the fantastic dhol wala background music. Dadi ji ne toh chakke chuda diye > "Yeh daid pasli ka kya karegi....deewar pe taangegi" ROFL!🤣🤣🤣
The dialogues are just too good. The guy playing her best friend was really really sweet as well, boosting her morale with "Tu smart hai, confident hai, pretty hai, khoobsurat hai aur Ishaan Singh Alhuwali ko idea hi nahi hai ke woh kya miss kar raha hai"....bhagwaan aise friend sabko de. 😃 Go Siddhart! Woot! Woot!
Aww...I really felt bad for her in the last scene where the guy called her a Hippo...and I think going by the introductory promos she will actually become the mascot..aww.
I loved the first episode and have high hopes for this show. The characters, the actors, the scenarios, everything was impressive and well placed. Great editing and they seem to have found a great medium of promoting all their film songs...😆. I loved the end credits too and heres hoping that this show will live upto our epectations.
And I'm rooting for Mahi & Pata Nahi Kaun Hai...Manhoos..🥳

I KNOW RIGHT? Wasn't it amazing? I loveeeeeeeeeeed how it started off. While she was reading that letter. The whole "misfit" thing they used was so unique, and I think it was the perfect way to describe what Mahi really felt inside. I mean, she tries to be this confident girl who always stands up for herself (though the comebacks she comes up with are usually a tad bit too late 😛) but inside, she feels like an outcast in her own family. She knows how it feels to be cast aside.

I think what strikes a chord when it comes to Mahi as a character is the fact that we kind of all feel like misfits in some way or the other in our lives....our reasons may be different....but at one point or the other, we've all felt like we just don't fit in somehow.....the way the show begins with the letter that 'misfit' has written to Mahi and how Mahi replies back....witty yet cute at the same time....I liked that.
I really adored that bit. She's so witty. I loved the way she wrote back to that girl, but she admits herself (to herself) that she doesn't always follow her own advice. I really admire that about her. She isn't afraid to admit that. I also loved how she was having those flashbacks of her family pictures. Her at the side in all the pictures. It went from her being a little girl up 'till now.
Mahi's family is hilariously dysfunctional...and again that's something many ppl identify with I think....Definately! No family is perfect, and I think the Talwars' were presented in a very realistic manner.especially the conversation at the breakfast table....I thought that was a great way to introduce them....we got a 'saas-bahu' bickering session and yet it was done in such a natural manner....LOL....I already like Mahi's daadi and Dad....her brother is as annoying as all little brothers are....haha....and her 'ten on ten perfect' self-obsessed older sister....this lady looks familiar to me....I think she's from those whirlpool commercials 😆
She's done a few shows before... I remember her face. 😆 But again, I loved the interaction between Mahi and her family. From the bunch, I absoloutly ADORE her niece and her dad. Hahah, sooo cutee and natural. Her relationship with her siblings is something I can relate to. She locks her brother in the washroom, and feels like she's constantly being compared to her "perfect" sister.

There are little moments and things that I really enjoyed in the epi:

1) Mahi holding the thong in confusion and asking which side is the front side 🤣
🤣🤣🤣

2) Mahi cutting out the pic of that guy Sohail from the July issue and putting it in a photo frame and claiming him to be her boyfriend Rahul....lol

🤣🤣

3) Mahi's elevator scene with Ishan....ROFL....everything from the way she plans to rush to the elevator at the exact moment to catch him there and then going off into her little dream sequence after that....the part I really enjoyed was once she's inside the elevator and she's got this little monologue going in her head as she gazes at him all dreamy-eyed....and I think she even called him her chamcham 🤣 🤣 🤣 OMG that has to be one of the best parts of today's episode. I LOVED the classic BG scores used throughout her dream sequence. The whole "Going down?" scene had me in 🤣
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED how she was talking to herself in her head. "OMG HE TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALKED TO MEEEEEEEEEEEE" 🤣 that was SOOOOO SOOOOO cute!

4) Mahi's frustration with her clothes and always going back to her 'Thursday special'....LOL
HAHAH that was so sweet. "I love you" 🤣she's sooo adorable! *sighs*

5) Mahi's interactions with her 'best girl friend'.....I think everyone would want a best friend like that.....always encouraging her and boosting her morale...I loved their back and forth convo in the gymkhana club as they both sit at the bar and even later the convo when he's driving her back home....I loved that scene! Especially when he tells her that she's smart, beautiful among other things and she replies that he's high on neat pepsi 😆 😆 ....Such an amazing friend!
I replied to your other topic on him. Sid is AMAZING! I also love Roshni. She's got super amazing friends who love her for her. Roshni's the airhead, and Sid's the moral support. Gotta love 'em!

But my absolute fav. interactions in the epi were those b/w Mahi and her golgappa chor/pata nahin kaun hai manhoos 😆 😆 😆
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH OMG 🤣 so u caught her little comments on the credits too right?🤣
"Pata nahin yeh kaun hai....manhoos!" 🤣🤣🤣
There is something so laid back and sweet about this guy....from the way he backs off when she gets all belligerent about her golgappas and he says he'll go eat chaat instead 😆 ....funny moment there as Mahi looks at his canvas shoes and makes a face calling him a 'schoolboy' 😆 😆 .....and then when he shows up to help her to her feet after she trips on her heels....I liked that little interaction....the way he offers her a hand and says, 'I don't bite'...and she goes in irritation, 'but I do!" LOL and he goes, "I'll take my chances" 😆 ....awww....and what I found EXTRA hilarious in this scene was the way Dadi and her group of friends are staring at the two of them in the background🤣 🤣 🤣 .
I dont know why, but that scene reminded me of KHNH 🤣
It was SOOOOOO cute how he kept helping her. What an adorable guy! In more depth, I think Mahi's going to realize that she has so many expectations for her Mr.Right that she wont be able to know that this "manhoos" is everything she's ever dreamed of.
...I like the way he smiles at her as she keeps on ranting at him in irritation...it's really cute 😆 ....and the last scene when she grabs him and hides behind him and makes him walk her to the door so she can hide from Ishaan....LOLL....I loved his expressions in that scene....and in the end, she tells him to go and he's like, 'YOU go and then I'll also go" 😆 ....she behaves so crazily each time she meets him and yet he just keeps smiling in bemusement at her.... 😆
Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm liking this guy...because he looks at Mahi and doesn't judge her like her coworkers and family members. He just thinks that this is one keck of a crazy chick! I love that! This couple will surely work.
And then later on when Mahi is discussing him with 'her best girlfriend'...I keep forgetting his name *sigh* lol...and she dismisses him as a boring banker type...like she totally has him pegged and he's not interesting enough for her 😆 ....
HAHAHAH Siddhart? 🤣 (I took notes on the names *hides*) 🤣🤣
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee him!
I think it's obvious they are meant to be.....but Mahi will have the distraction of Mr. Ishan Singh Ahluwalia for now I guess 😆 😆
I like Ishan. He has nice abs ☺️🤣
Mahi's obsession with shoes is cute.....the way she's so dazzled by Ishan's shoes and so contemptuous of Mr. Golgappa chor's....haha....
HAHAHAHAH she's like "I have 64 shoes- SIXTY-FOUR" 🤣
I also loved the ending credits....the way they showed the name of each cast member....really entertaining 👏 .....I was laughing out loud when I read the bit with "Pata nahin kaun hai manhoos'....and 'My family and other random animals'🤣 🤣 🤣
The credits were my favourite 🤣 her commentary was sooo original and hillarious 🤣 CHOO CHWEEEEEEEEEEET!

The office staff....the 'kutti and kamini'...LOL....they are OTT in a way....and her boss who keeps forgetting her name...lol....she's alright for now....I think they should add more zing to the office characters.
I agree. Mahi isn't a tough name 🤔 and the kutti and kamini piss me off. 🤣
Overall, Mahi is just adorable....the kind of character that endears you to her and makes you want to root for her.....I'm looking forward to the episode next week now :-)
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Mahi! She is AMAZING! Enough said. haha

Haha...Arey yaar, you didn't even give Mr. Alhuwalia ji a chance, seedha lame ka tag...😆 He's ok...aiwayi types. Lets just hope he can act because the guy playing Mr. Golguppa Chor is pretty darn good.

Haha...so true. After she harrasses him the poor dude says "Main chaat khaa leta hoon'' and gives her the thumbs up..😆 And oh, I loved his wardrobe & his Canvas shoes..😃

I know! I have a feeling that sometime down the track she might have an emotional outburst because of everything she has had to deal with...her family, her job, and all these insults ofcourse. Hopefully, Mr. Manhoos will be able supporting her..😃

Its fantastic to see you again too Anu...😃 & its always been fun discussing shows with you :). Lets just hope and pray that Mahi Way does not go down the drain, much like our old beloved Monkey show :P...Oh well, fingers crossed for this one :)

Totally agree, Mimi! Especially with the bolded bit....LOL and in the family pics...in the end, the way they were showing her..."me at age 3...hungry" then "me at age 5....hungrier'...."me at age 10...hungrier than ever"🤣 Hilarious!

There are so many aspects to Mahi....she is confident many times yet at work or when it comes to her lack of love life, she feels insecure....she is sweet....like with her niece...who I also thought was sooooo cute! lol....and then she can be cranky...like she is with mr. golgappa chor....the way she literally pushes him out of her way after he spills whiskey on her🤣🤣🤣

So how did that scene remind you of KHNH?? lol

@Sanu: LOLL arey yaar...I found him lame from the promos only...not my type....chaahe jitne marzi abs shabs dikhaa le :P ....I don't think he's required to act much anyways....just stand around looking all 'hot' like Mahi's dream prince charming *rolls eyes* lol....

Anyways, here's hoping like you said....that this show lives up to our expectations....and Monkey show ko maar goli yaar...uska toh pehla epi hi kitna bakwaas tha....LOL....this show has a much higher standard right off the bat :-)....oh well, we'll see how it goes aage.
