😆14 pages already? Aduh, ok I'm reserving this slot before it goes! And thank you so much Tanu for the adda! 🤗
*edit*
I just read through most of the posts here, and OMF, they're amazing! Geeta, noodle ke packet ki kya dastaan sunaayi hai tumne! I fell off my chair laughing! Amazing stuff babes! Tanu, Mrids, Jenny, Nisha and the rest, amazing takes like always! And here's my lil take on the episode!
Disclaimer: For those who cannot accept the fact that the AnYa scene lacked actual chemistry, (and I don't mean physical stuff), I'd suggest you skip my post, cause it will only increase your BP. These are my views, and I take full responsibility for it. If there's anything you didn't like, well, don't temme I didn't warn you!
1. Late Night Dirama: I fail to comprehend, what is the problem if there are people roaming around in the house in the middle of the night? I mean, I sneak around my house after 2AM more than half the time, and my parents don't get all mad and grumpy! Then who cares if these people are roaming around the house or cooking or dancing? But its the loonie qilla, so even if a feather dares to change its position by a centimeter, it needs BD/Om/Baba's permission to do so! God, please spare the women of the house! (except BD. She isn't a woman, IMO!) I was pretty surprised at Nimi's ideas today. First she smartly covers up for the gamla ka kissa, and then she very sneakily manages to convince Anant to look for a non-existent rat in her room! I must say, years of living among Neanderthals has taught her basic survival instincts! But she made ONE small mistake: she didn't dispose off the wrapper properly! I mean, she knows how her family is, and if she's capable of taking so many precautions and saying so many lies, couldn't she have disposed off the wrapper in a better way? Idiot! Anyways, I just pray she passes these survival instincts to Nabbya Rani as well, cause staying in such a zoo, requires eons of training! Anyways, Om goes to his room and gives a earful to his poor wife, who for the life of her, can't figure out what ghor paap has she done, that she got married to this dude, and her DIL was a witch like Rama! I mean, what's with the second class treatment of women? Baba is the dude who gives all these pravachans, and while I can understand these people wanting women to be subordinate to men, the fact that they treat them like shit doesn't go too well with me! Is that what Baba lectures about? Treat the women in your house like crap, cause they're only meant to cook and produce kids for you? HOMP!
2. Anant, the Niraala Babua!: Aaye haaye! Every time I see this dude these days, my heart skips a beat! Wasn't he sooo cute, while staring at Navya's photo in his phone, and talking to it? I wanted to go and give him a huge bear hug, he was sooo cute! The guy is completely NUTS over his jhalli, and the fact that he couldn't even talk to her was frustrating him so much, that he had to resort to such acts of nuttiness! Haaye, I lowee this guy! He then very cutely keeps telling Navya's photo that he doesn't wanna talk to her, repeatedly! I was like dude, attitude chod, and go talk to her, its killing you! Anyways, he's not getting sleep, so he tries to find some cookies to eat, and he remembers that he had some cookies in his bag! First question, he carried cookies to his office? The loonie office? Didn't Baba or Om say something to him, considering cookies are the staple diet of the maadern jamana, and these people are super orthodox? And of course, his face was worth seeing when he only found a tiny little piece of cookie in it! I felt like singing for him at this point, Pyaar pyaar naa raha; cookie, cookie naa raha; zindagi humein ab tumpar; aetbaar naa raha! 😆 Anyways, at this moment he jumps on his bed (abused it again! How is that poor thing intact?) to receive a call, only to realise it was Nimisha, asking him to catch a "rat" in her room! And so Anant, the purrfect bro, zooms out of the room to try and look for a non-existent rat! Poor guy, every time he wants to touch Navya (or what he thinks is Navya!), Nimi sends him to the bloody opposite corner of the room! Poor guy finally was kicked out of the room in a huff, and Nimi sat down to enjoy her noodles! I'm pretty sure the Bajpaayees don't let noodles come into the house, which is why Nimisha was sooo excited to have a bowl for herself!
3. The Noodle-icious AnYa scene!: The suffix (or prefix? I've always gotten confused with the actual name for it!) "licious" has become bhery bhery paapular, hasn't it? 😆 Anyways, Anant returns to his room, all hungry and grumpy, and he's astounded to see all aromatic candles lighting up a path for him to the balcony! And in the balcony, he sees a bowl of noodles, with a cutely written "I am Sorry" on the tray next to it, and Navya in the corner, holding her ears. How could our Majnu not melt on seeing this? Considering he was the one talking like a nutcase to her picture earlier? 😆 He melted, and kissed her hands and her head, and by this time, I was left banging my head against the wall! Directors, we're TIRED of seeing the same old type of hugs! Deepak kisses Navya like that, and he's her FATHER! Show some difference, some variety! But I'll shut up here, and go on. They then very cutely feed each other noodles, fight for it, eat it all romantically, and that's the end of whatever romance we had. One thing I'm happy about is the fact that Navya realised that he was jealous of Amar. We had scope of so many romantic dialogues here, but NO! What did we get? Navya laughing at Anant and telling him to do something praiseworthy, so that she can gush about him! Aduhh! Bhagwaan, in dono ko hormones ke saath, thodi buddhi bhi free mein de deejeeye! Then again, instead of some cute romantic talk between the couple, we see them discussing how they spend their Sundays! The Bajpaayees have a pravachan on Sundays? They have to get up early for that crap? HOMP! If I was in Navya's place, I would have faked a fever or something! But Navya is already an SP bahu (as Rits very rightly pointed out in that phone call), so she toh will get up all early, to help the ladeej log of the mansion! Oh, and when I say ladies, I don't mean BD. She's an entirely different specimen!
4. Toofan se pehle ka sannata: BD is a jackass. I mean, she never does work, only goes around yelling at people, asking them to work faster! Woman, move your ass and do some work, it will do you good! Nimi is all stressed out cause of the incorrect disposal of the noodle-wrapper, and that makes Savita yell at her. Woman, it was your fault! Why didn't you take it to your room or something? Would have saved us all the drama! But the Rama darling upturns the waste-paper bin, and lo and behold, the noodle wrapper is out in the open, and BD and the rest are shocked, as to how can angreji bhojan enter their house!
5. Precap: Anant's mandbuddhiness strikes again! See, this is what I mean when I beg the writers to keep their characters flat. Sometimes he's all mature, then he's all stupid, and suddenly all understand and romantic? *slaps forehead* One thing I failed to comprehend, why so much jhamela for a mere, humble packet of noodles? I mean, drug-shug toh nahi tha!
Thoughts for the day: Is it me, or did Navya repeat her nightie from the previous day? Meeta Maa didn't pack enough clothes for her or what? And once again, the tale of Anant Babua's different BBs! I mean, when he's staring at Navya's picture, its clearly an Onyx/Curve/Bold, but when Nimisha calls him up, its a Torch! Art Directors! Use some common sense, the audience is not THAT dumb also! And everyone's eternal question: Where did Navya get all those candles from, and that little table? Grocery waala bhaiiya gave that free with the noodles or what? Cause such aromatic candles are the last thing you'll find in the loonie qilla!
And that's all from me for now! This is what happens when you expect too much from an episode, everything gets ruined! Director/Shaheer/Soumya, please, DO something about the chemistry! 😡
