So, Kasturi has set out on "Robbie sudharofy mission" and boy was it a treat to watch. Devika has correctly identified a diamond in the form of Kasturi. She definitely is not all-talk but does what she says. Aah, the way she orchestrated the alarm ringing blasts in Robbie's room was hilarious and proven effective. For a second, I thought here goes Kasturi on a lecture spree or perhaps polite talks to awake Robbie, but aah her idea was much better and more effective. What I like about Robbie is that as egoistic as he is, he didn't throttle Kasturi's throat or scream himself hoarse at Kasturi, instead showed his irritation and confusion. What I didn't like about Robbie was his deragatory remarks that he threw in Kasturi's face at the end of the episode. But, then I guess like his mother said, he only understands the type of people he's been with and lived with, he is yet to understand people who lead a different life and who think differently than those. Definitely, the show is luring a lot of interest from my side, a determined Kasturi to set Robbie straight and a determined Robbie to untie Kasturi's grip on him and fire her in two days. It would be interesting to see how slowly how they get accustomed to one another, their hearts begin to relish each other's presense and dance in each other's eyes. Kasturi and Robbie do look good together, let's see how their chemistry works.
But, Girish's character crushed all admirance I had for him. The sweet, understanding companion has suddenly been revealed to be a money-minded, selfish and authoratative fiance/jerk. If,Alka chachi's demand from Kasturi's father to equal the share they put into the household expenditures and Kasturi's father's illness wasn't enough, Girish has been added as a double dose of trouble for Kasturi. He has already built castles in his eyes with Kasturi's pay cheque, Don't you get the feeling, he's going to try every nook to get his hands on the money? Plus, his darling sister, may help him, to add to Kasturi's woes. I guess, now the only hope for Kasturi is that she accomplishes her mission successfully in a month's time, so Devika can cover all expenses for her father's treatment, and then with Girish (although he doesn't deserve it) and Alka chachi, she can divide the money.
Call it a blooper/un-blooper, but what a shock tossed on to my head, when Alka chachi told her husband, that if they sell the store they will receive "ek crore" for it? Tell me, somebody did I hear that line wrong? Was it one lakh instead? If they can receive one crore for the store, the most logical thing to do would be to sell. Seriously, they complain about not having enough money, being middle-class and having so many family members, this would solve most of their financial problems. I understand sentiments maybe attached with the store, but their father (Kasturi's father and Chacha ji's father) must have desired for this store to help them in need. Another thing, if the store/the plot it's on is one crore of worth, then it should be atleast large enough and hence their income would have been higher right? Or am I seriously misunderstanding something? What do you guys think? I'm guessing dada ji is the matriarch of the family, yet he stood silently listening to Alka blabber on and on about Kasturi's father's income and all, when Kasturi's mother politely talked to dadaji about kasturi, he blasted her off and here, Alka is indirectly or directly humiliating Kasturi's father and no one says anything?
Ronak, what can I say about him? Girish till yesterday used to be my favorite male character in Kasturi, but now it definitely has to be Ronak. He has my admirance because of the true friendship he upholds with Robbie. I say a true friend, because he doesn't agree with Robbie, just because he is his best friend and also he is very clear when talking to Robbie. Also because he doesn't boost Robbie's already overrated ego and encourage any sort of hatred against Kasturi. I just loved how he told Robbie, start thinking of new names after Robbie swore to change his name if he doesn't boot out Kasturi from the job in two days. I think Kasturi will find a friend in him soon as well. The way he patiently listens to her and helps her out, is just lovely. Someone had mentioned that kasturi has a good balance of good people and bad people, I do agree with that as well. As for him falling for Kasturi, the chances are high, but let's wait on to find out. What do you guys think, will he fall in love with Kasturi?
Rating: 8/10
Stars of fhe day: I think Robbie, Devika and Kasturi were the stars of today. All three on different missions was interesting to watch.
Keep smiling...
