So it starts with Kathir and Mullai discussing about their birthdays when the house members celebrate Meena’s(Rishitha) birthday. Kathir mentions that they don’t really celebrate birthdays as a special occasion for anyone in the house, just everyone simply wishes the person and they pray in the temple.(totally won’t work for Pandya stores as they celebrated the 10 year anniversary for Gaura 😂 in the Tamil version, Meena’s birthday is kind of the first time they bring cakes and balloons and stuff. Makes sense for the setup in the Tamil story)
Cut to a few days/weeks/months(?)
(timeline is very dispersed in OG- so KM story actually develops over a period of 9-10 months. They did not drag the first few days of marriage like they are doing in Pandya stores. Ahh, pre-pandemic days...),
Mullai realizes she missed Kathir’s birthday. Somehow everyone else also forgets. She feels really bad and wants to get him a surprise gift. She tries to ask Dhanam for Rs1000, but Dhanam basically sweeps it off saying “why you need so much”. Rishitha catches on to this , and here is introduced the track of having separate incomes, in the most organic and relatable ways possible.
I’ll skip a few details, but basically after trying in many ways, Mullai is not able to get money for the gift(she does not want to ask her dad) and cries to Kathir that she cannot even buy him a gift. This is a beautiful scene as Kathir sees how much effort she is putting for him, and that is itself enough for him. 🥲
Mullai, being relentless, tries to pawn her ring. However her mother(Maami in the Hindi version) comes to know and creates a huge scene at Pandya house making it look like they have to run the house with her daughters jwelleery. GauRa and others get mad at Mullai, but she does not say why she pawned her ring. Later she cries to Kathir, explaining the reason, and he goes and respectfully supports her in front on GauRa without unnecessary drama. All is well with the family members.
Cut to next day, Kathir gets a ring from a roadside cart and tells Mullai, that the Rs 100 ring that she buys is enough for him(she earns Rs 100 doing some chores)
Later when Kannan(Krish) tries to take the ring( because he is like ‘anyways it’s an inexpensive ring’), Kathir refuses him. Mullai becomes ecstatic.
KM had my heart ❤️. I need to go back and see these episodes again 😢
