good Review, Harshu...
loved the episode...both father and son, Balaji and Baji won the first round, just that both haven't understood it...tell me what they r in front of Qamruddin and Nasir?
Balaji is a mere clerk while Baji is just a small ordinary child, who has till now led a very carefree life, and is far far away from the games of life , like power, property, wars, politics...but still both BAlaji and Baji won the first round, but like I said, both don't know what they gained...
on the other side, both Q and Nasir r flaunting the victory, that never came their way...both did all kinds of show offs, but simply didn't get what they wanted...
Q tried to humiliate Balaji by asking him to fetch his shoes...yest I said that I want BAlaji to wear it and go to Q and give it to him...but that would have been wrong.. why should he wear somebody else's shoes, coz wearing somebody else's shoes means accepting his/her personality...and Balaji didn't do that... he stayed as what he is...a mere representative, but same time, his words showed Q , that for Marathas , Q was just a representative like Balaji, nothing more...and for Balaji he was a guest , and guests r treated like God, so doing something for God, is not humiliation...but then his words put the question on Q's behavior as a guest or God...and Q definitely not a fool not to understand that... so he simply hugged Balaji like a long lost friend...and though he is flaunting his power and intelligence in front of Nasir, still he is aware, that he lost the first round to a mere clerk... else he wouldn't have said , i will crush the elder Marathas... coz, before coming there , he was fully confident , that Marathas will serve him on silver platter, but now, when a mere clerk is giving him challenges, then he certainly knows, he has to fight for a long time, and this battle is not really easy...
on the other hand, even Baji didn't lose...he understood Nasir's game, but more than that he read the elephant's pain, and he left the game for elephant...but even then , when NAsir asked him to bow, down in front of him, then Baji replied, that NAsir has to demand while he (Baji) has already got Nasir bow down... as even after losing, Baji is standing with his head high, and NAsir is the one looking down...and whatever Nasir , drooling abt his victory, even he like his father , is aware that he is not the winner...else, while Baji said those words abt Nasir looking down , Nasir's face , for a sec, was like the one who received a very tight slap...
anyway, I think Radhabai's game is not just to make them understand that if they want to win against the power, then they have to use brain, but I think that they will even understand that they already started towards winning the game against Nizams...
let's see tomorrow...
btw, Tarabai was a big disappointment today...and how conveniently , she forgot that it was her who gave and inexperienced Balaji , that responsibility...I feel her recklessness will increase with time and will drove, the ppl like Balaji away from her, finally making her alone...
