This weekend, (going by the "what is.." Hi! I'm new!' type posts, baisas! Not actual arithmetic) we seem to have had a large number of newbies coming to the forum and I'd like to welcome them all to the wonderful world of RangRasiya. I have been also been getting some PMs from older IPK people who are, understandably, a little confused by the breakneck pace of Rangrasiya.
On IPK, the Hero took exactly 6 months to answer one question---"farak padta hai?" By the time usko farak para tha, serial khatam bhi ho gaya tha. So naturally, the IPK fans are used to a nice gentle pace where you can see that the most that has happened while you were gone ( for two weeks) is that the heroine has moved from the bedroom to the kitchen. Anyone who comes to RR from that experience is shocked. "Jhat Mangni Pat Biyah" takes on a whole new meaning here. On RR the mangni and the biyah don't even have to be to the same man.
This is the issue: Most newbies don't even know who they should be cheering for, and who they should be afraid of. Some of them have already lost their hearts to the wrong mustached man, for God's sake--if that hottie Tarun (Thakur) gets one more new fan-girl who croons " Thakur sa, isn't it time for a younger, updated, hot-wali Thakurain? Meri pas aja, meri desh-drohi Raja..." I will lose it.
So, to help you newbies, allow me to give you a small rundown. To help get the ball started, I have a short character list here:
Rudra Pratap Ranawat---Identify by: Hero/Villain/Alcoholic/ Bike Rider/Hair Envy Creator/ Consumasion giver. Unhealthy attachment to his own gun, but also to the hefazaat of tan man and badan of heroine(see below).
Hair. Man, that hair. If there is anyone onscreen and your instant reaction is to drool over those glistening waves, if the action is happening fast and furious, and still all you can think about is--kon si shampoo??? you've found Rudra. Sports a mustache. but has no potbelly--look for the flat abs, perfect hands and the aforementioned lack of potbelly. To help you tell him apart from the other men with mustaches (but with pot-bellies--all other mustache men have potbellies, without fail--helpful tip) keep your ear cocked for the telltale sign-- He is RUDE. So everytime a ridiculously attractive hottie says something awful about women, forgetting that he is himself basically a god-like stud, and shouldn't throw stones at other people's good looks.. think--Thats Rudra! And then ask yourself about his shampoo, like the rest of us.
Parvati Ranawat-Identify by: Heroine/Creator of all musunderwears (forum speak for mis-communication)/lady nearest to the puja thali /conshumashion getter of the show. Unhealthy attachment to Rudra/the Shiv-Parvati story. Even those divine Gods are probably murmuring .."bohut zyada intense ho gaya, yaar" under their breaths by now. Hates milk.
This one is tougher, because we have several pretty girls onscreen. Here goes. Does the girl onscreen make you drop the delicious Lays and reach for a carrot in hatred and shame as you gaze at her perfect figure? Does her lush hair sway in the windy desert locale when you KNOW your own hair would puff up into a frizzy ball of sandy grease? Has she fainted, or cut her hands, or stood on one foot for no reason during this episode? Does her wrist seem to be the personal property of the aforementioned Rudra? Does she have a flock of creepy butterflies behind her? Does she suffer from a shocking lack of available cloth to achieve full back coverage on her tiny cholis? Ah...thats the one, my child. Thats Paro. Feel free to feel oddly intimidated by her single minded purpose and enigmatic smile. We (and Rudra) do.
KakiMamiSa- Identify by: Fantastic one-liners that, if your mother said to you growing up, would result in your psychiatrist bills for life.
Look at the surroundings. Is there an ominous black cloud of bad mausam inside the (supposedly) weatherproof Haveli? Listen to the woman speak. Do you feel your hair prickle with awareness of evil? Are you getting ready to send your tax dollars to a "Rescue Me! I am Mohini's Bindni!" charity fund?? Does your dog, who usually sleeps through the most bloody episodes of Dexter howl mournfully to the moon when this woman shows her face onscreen? Is your TV screen surrounded by all the local snakes of your area who seem to be swaying to the tune of this woman's words? Back away, baisa, avoid eye contact. NEVER offer her ghee. Mohini in the house!!
Let me know if anything else is needed! Additions welcome from all Forum vasis, to help our new friends! Lets try and put together a cheat-sheet/cliff notes of our show, shall we?
