...of the valuable lessons that I learned today from Rangrasiya. Please feel free to add your own.
#1. When Sumer is drunk, every woman looks like Deepika Padukone.
#2. Sumer may live in the hinterland, but his floral shirts-and-necklaces fashion sense can put a city-slicker to shame.
#3. If Daddysa is going to take the fiancee's side already, then he can expect the babasa to show signs of matrimonial rivalry.
#4. If Daddysa's own marriage is down the drain, then he has less cred in lecturing son on what makes a happy marriage.
#5. The devil who created Daddysa is different from the devil who created Rudrasa, the latter may possibly, just have been less devilish.
#6. Marriages will always be less attractive than sand dunes.
#7. Kakisa is a many-talented bird, who is proficient at face reading in addition to flaying with the tongue.
#8. There's greater chance of success in revolving around the victim while making the threat/offer, than by pinning her to a wall/pillar, etc.
#9. Kakisa's reach is unparalleled: it extends beyond this life-time to the next seven lives. Even shadows are not immune.
#10. If you are going to do all the looking before the wedding, then you'll only be fit to fly pigeons from the rooftop after.
#11. If you want your husband's attention when he returns from work, then it's best to pretend he hasn't..returned, I mean.
#12. You shall not raise laughter preferences (loud or soft) in the list of attributes for potential brides. Doing so will result in the abrupt end of the discussion.
#13. Also while listing own dreams of post-marital bliss, you shall not bring up the desire for children - male, 2 nos. Doing so will have the same result as #13.
#14. And you shall never, in any circumstances, bring parents into such dreams, because that will result not just in #13 but also in eviction from the bedroom.
#15. Beds and mirrors are crucial to weddings - mirrors and beds, mirrors over beds, beds facing mirrors...and must be ordered in the dead of the night for best results.
#16. If you're going to pace before the witch's doorway on a full moon night, then don't be surprised if there's hubble, bubble, toil and trouble.
#17. Silence may be golden, but the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease.
#18. A choice between a witch and a monster is no choice at all.
#19. If you are related to the groom twice over, then you must wear two mismatched half-dresses made to look like one. Thrice over, then three-dresses-as-one...
#20. If you are going to get tea on your face, then expect someone to rub it in.
#21. There's no point in bringing, making or even mentioning tea in the Masala Haveli. It will never make it past the ground to the mouth, leave alone the stomach. (Cr: Sajni 786)
#22. Fashion is gender insensitive. For the fashionable young man, green, pink, yellow, baandhini, mirror work, stone work and embroidery are on trend this season. (Cr: Sajni 786)
#23. Arm twisting need not be restricted to one wrist. Both wrists held in the small of the back makes for better standing angles between the twister and the twistee. (Cr: Sajni 786)
#24. You don't have to feed the monster, just because the witch tells you to. (Cr: Spirit)
Today, the CVs gave us a couple of twists in the tale and threw in a red-herring for good measure. Everyone who was holding their breath about Sumer giving Paro up to the Thakur's men, can finally breathe freely again. Paro is safe...for the moment. Paro, under pressure to sign or marry, has called Rudra's bluff and agreed to marry him. And Kakisa has decided to try to crack Paro on her own steam. The red herring - Paro, on the verge of confessing all to Kakisa will (according to the spoilers) refuse Kakisa's offer, after all the known devil (Rudra) is better than the unknown one.
But in talking to Kakisa, Paro has done herself and Rudra no favours, especially when coupled with the photograph that Sumer has somewhere about his person, waiting to be found. Similarly, in calling Rudra's bluff, Paro has left the door open to some fun and games of the sizzling kind. The needle will continue to swing madly between gains and reversals.😃
In all, a decent episode, well-paced, with a few PaRud moments, and a sizzling precap to tide us over until Monday. Quite a few enjoyable scenes: Sumer and the Thakur's men, Dilsher and Rudra, and of course Paro's saccharine sweet list of bridal attributes. On the off-side Kakisa seems to have taken over RR. Please CVs, clip her wings, fade-out her shadow, reach out an arm and pull her from the sky...whatever, just please cut her down to size.
The CVs were rather free and easy with their punchy one-liners, which added to the watching pleasure. Acting honours go to Sanaya, Ashish, Ananya and Kali Prasad ji in that order. 👏👏 to cast and crew for holding our interest after the fireworks in the previous episode.
Waiting for the precap to play out on Monday. 😃
