Anika, in her quest to watch every B grade movie in India must have seen Sunny Deol's classic and incorporated it into action. I'm even accepting Deepika's trademarked "ek chutki sindoor ka keemat" dialogue. After all, yeh whole track bhi repeat/second hand hai, If Gul can repeat, why cant her writers take a break from creativity and use ghissa-pita dialogue, too?
But what about the misunderstanding? What comes AFTER the slap?
Nothing. No change. On either side.
I am guessing the slap will end all conversations, actually. AND some day, much later, after she has saved every one's lives all over again including Ram Mohan the driver, (and ye toh ensemble cast hai, sab ka sab ki turn aane me time lagega). When other things start to make him doubt his opinion about ANIKA, he will revisit her reaction to this and see it for what it is.
But right now--he will not understand, or be told anything by her--because she wont understand it, either. He will have accused her of this under stress, the very fact he even said anything is because he lost control with Dadi amd Tia and the missing second fake dulhan on his head. Her instant reaction will bring him back to his senses, where he remembers he owes her no explanation. He will think she is acting anyway, because what else can he actually think? And what can he say? He spied on them? On her, and her fiance? He cant reveal anything about Daksh yet, because all he knows about Daksh is that the BOTH of them entered into a ONS monetary deal.
She will slap him, he will throw her up against a wall and..silence.
Then his pure rage, and the ticking time clock means--here is the Pre-Nup, you sign where it says "Any Random Ladki Chalega" while I call Khanna and have your kid brother picked up for some light, masti filled kidnapping.
That's what I mean, forumwasis aur friends. Itna bharose bhi nahi rakhne chaiye, Gul pe. Slap hoga, apki aur meri dil ko thandak milega. But the theme of forced marriage and trapped FL with now an even more ragingly angry ML is still happening. Lets not lose the forest for the trees, we need to manage our expectations here! Gul madam at least koi punar janam nahi leya, who abhi bhi Gul hi hai! 😆
