I admit it took a while, because you know Barun... toh nazar aur samay sab kuch thoda ruk sa jaata hai, but when I was eventually able to allow my eyes to sweep down, my saansein ruk gayi. 😲


Shivani Shirali strikes with a vengeance.



She lulled us into a false sense of hope over the first week that he may, just may be bakshoed from her maniacal zeal to dress all of Char Dhaam edifices in Nautanki reject costumes (and I do use the term loosely, very loosely, because even Maganlal Dresswalla would baulk at stocking most of what she puts out). But, hamari phooti kismat... Those stills we'd been surreptitiously fed all came to pass in HD glory on our screens 16 ghante pehle.


This be her version of urbane and suave England returned bitwa. All spruced up for the Terrace MU (uh Terrace = MU, for hamesha okay) and the staircase trip fall catch. One look at the Scotland wala stamp in his passport(clearly the decision of the Scots to remain in the UK is neither here nor there where artistic licence is concerned, smh) and her dimaag ki batti went off.


A peek in said dimaag for your delectation ladies-


July in the UK => bright yellow thing in the sky => general exodus of man and woman to the nearest green patch to roast themselves to a frightful sight => sustenance needed to continue basting => picnic basket summoned => open, remove blanket to place it on...


Stop, stop, stop!!!! Picnic blanket!!! Yes!!!! Oh my God, Har Har Mahadev, I am such a genius!!! Gul, ye baat sirf aap samajhte hai *weeping khushi ke aansoon* This, then is what I will use for ASR ka suitwa!!!! It will be so in the moment. And it will shut up all those crushing me over my floral adventures. And, you know what, I think I'll add a streak of gold to his shoes as a little symbolism for the sun, as a signature for the root of my inspiration, because after all that's what got the good people of England out in the first place. Ergo...




PS - The pandits were not outraged at what the man was doing to their Chandani. It was a howl of outrage at the suit the designer is bundling that gorgeous man in!

Yaara, you get a 10/10 for this post. Heck you get a 11/10 for this. (The extra point for that smirk waala picture of Hot-vay. Haayee..Dhak-dhak went a notch higher)


Maine ne socha ki since he is a Math proff, Shivani went ahead and put him in a logarithmic graph inspired suit, but Good Lord!

That connection of Barun's costume with the July's Sun and picnic blanket is both hilarious and terrifying.

I am really petrified as to what she'd dress Barun in once the fall gets in. Checks of red, yellow, orange and brown?!!

Lord, please!

Oh my God! What when it comes to thanksgiving?
A roasted turkey inspired suit?

Christmas?!!
Red, white, green and sparkles?! And fur coats?!!

Oh my God!

Yaar, now I seriously am terrified!

I dont want her to get inspired with the seasons or the graphs and polygons of Maths!
Isse achha hota that we get just 2 suits for him the entire show!

So far, so bad...


And lord or lord it is getting worse...


Disclaimer: All those pankies out there, relax ladies. This is not an attack on any one of your favourite, be it Sobti, Shivani, Amma, bodyguard, any fish in that pond or anyone/anything else. I am as serious a panky as anyone of you, and I can write Sobti's name in blood to prove it too. Not that I am fond of red color after the last week attack on all my senses.


Now that I have suitably disclaimed myself of any attack on my person or my name let's get back to what the 🤬 🤬 🤬is going on with the show. 😲😲😲


My heart is bleeding yaar. Shoot, red reference again. Take a talented actor like Sobti, send him off on a hiatus for 5 years and bring him back for this? This!!! I ask you? And I ask myself, and I have asked Ruchi and Rash and Cherry and Asha and Mani and Sudha and Sindu and Gi and... and.. well you get it right. And, I got a collective sigh and an angry 😡😡😡 (that too is red). 😭😭😭 They are all trying to decrypt what the devil is going on. The outcome is I am like the ASR of "The Original" going "what the... what the... what the..."


I tell you guys, (everything I can cross, I am crossing here) I seriously believe that the heroine can grow on me. She is beautiful and obviously (or not so obviously) talented. Too short for Sobti but we can look past "The Original", now can't we? But I can't look past her costume. I simply can't. That is asking too much from me, even by 4lions.


What else can't I look past? The list is endless from the shells in her dupatta/saree (Indian friends help me out here, iss costume ko kya naam doon?) to the blouse to the jewellery to the footwear to bindi to dialogue delivery. I can't look past the assault on my senses. Oh, I covered this on my earlier rant. I am never visiting that part of India in my future travel ever if this is what to be expected, I tell you. Bas!


I thought (goes to show how naive one can get and how forgiving one can be and how optimistic one can stay, if one is a Sobti fan ❤️) that this week is a TRP stunt and it will get better. I thought too soon. It is not gonna get better if that suit is any indication. Red assault bye bye, Green assault hello hi. Ruchi had suitably covered that, so, I am not gonna go back into it. Just let me say green used to be my favorite color.


This post only covers the main leads. I am NOT gonna touch all those supporting. 😕😕😕 I am sure you already know that they are not supporting except for bro and Murali. I like them both, hair and all. 😉😉😉


I am now reduced to "should I?, shouldn't I?" 😲😲😲






Should I?
