This serial is nothing short of a brainwave for BT. For once they've hit the right buttons.😃
Apart from being a laugh riot, I love the way it pokes fun at its own stupidities...that requires a lot of guts and strong sense of security.
But what the best thing about the show is that almost every character is rounded. That point was brought home to me in last night's episode...that, the serial can hold its own even in the absence of its lead character, namely Ranbir. He gives it the ultimate comic/romantic touch but the comdey can still be sustained even if he isn't there.
Yesterday, every character came into his own. Even that thief. Reva wouldn't hire anyone but the best. Yet, this fellow was so funny, scared of his own shadow. Loved the way he got bested by my favourite bai, Shanta tai!!🤡
Pammi, Anand and Harpal were wonderful too. They got the emotional-comic timing so right. I love that boy Harpal....hope he doesn't change in the future. I simply adore Anand-Pammi...what a loving relationship they have. What understanding.👏
And Shanaya-Devika, shanya-ayaan were wonderful too. For once Devika spoke sense...not that she will for long...that red hair and watermelon nightie made her look like the devil she is!!
Ayaan, I think, wasn't immune to Shanaya though her efforts to attract him were so funny! Her moves actually reminded me of Kareena's awful dance in Don. But, I definitely think it had its desired effect on Ayaan...he couldn't drink enough water to cool himself down....next best thing to a cold shower, I guess. 😆 Again, I see that as a very realistic touch. Shanya may be dumb as they come but she's quite the looker minus the baby fat. So, it's natural he feels all hot under the collar! Hated his shiny silk PJ's though....looked too feminine🤢
And, what to say about the last scene..that whack on the head, knocking him out cold....I guess, Kanya-Shanta are going to drag him (that ought to make for another hilarious scene) to their bedroom and seeing Kanya ministering to ayaan may just tip Ranbir over from saying "Yuck.." to "Ouch, that hurts!"😭
