Ok let me just start off by saying that I was really disappointed in the basketball game. Why is it that cheating and negativity are always shown winning? I had high hopes for this show on that front😭. Instead the makers took my hopes, crushed it, went over it with a bulldozer and then fed it to the dogs.

Waaah!

Rant over, let us get back to the review.I shall try my level best to keep my emotions under control.🤢.Oops.

In the previous episode Susheel had been leading because of her reliance on 'talent,technique and hard work' ( Yes I am bitter CVs😡) but that prompts the writers to decide that Satya should bring out his special talent to win-Cheaaat!

We have got this all wrong guys,Satya is not a nikamma product of Leela's upbringing, he is alternatively talented. I see what you did there CVs.👏

Episode starts with wonderboy Satya apologizing to Susheel for grabbing her hair. You see, apparently he mistook her 'baal' for the ball. OMG,so hilarious. Hahahahahahahaha

Next hamara baccha/On-the-way-to-a-sexual-harassment-charge grabs Susheel's hand making her uncomfortable enough to sneak the ball from her. Another basket for Satya. The writers are at this point doing a good job of getting me to regurgitate my food.

This riles up our girl enough to make her contemplate cheating herself( I am so disappointed in you right now Susheel). We have now moved on from 'Jo wrong hai, vo wrong hai' to 'if you can't beat them,join them'. A 180 degree turnaround that perfectly fits our Su's character-Right CVs?😡😡😡

Unfortunately since Satya's a pro( at cheating), he easily counters her move and one-ups her by tripping her and causing her to landing on her butt. Another basket for Satya. Score tied.🤢🤢

Susheel loses it at this point and takes possession of the ball, playing furiously and perfectly and she is nearly there, nearly there,we are going to get a basket- Satya has just released a dog into the court.

Yep. A real, live dog. And since Susheel's terrified of dogs we know where this is going.Another basket for Satya.

Just in case there are still people who have managed to keep down the vomit -Ladies and gentlemen , I am pleased to announce the entry of the One, The Only, Leela!!

Yep. Leela Ma has entered the college with her silent friend and Satya's dad in tow because she caught sight of Satya's motorcycle. Jeez,possessive much woman?

Since the concept of going to the admin office to enquire about her grandson is clearly a foreign and scary idea, Leela ma decides to use her assistant/assassin/footstool as a well-footstool, and screams his name into the air instead. Dolby, Bose wake up - that's called a set of speakers.👏

In an unfortunate and completely predictable twist , Satya doesn't hear her. Tch,tch Leela ma , its ok. You did atleast achieve your primary objective which was to make a spectacle of yourself.

Satya catches up to Susheel and tries to 'woo' her by freely confessing that he cheated and let the dog loose on purpose because that's how people win. Listen hard people, we are getting a live class on 21st century values. Or at least Hindi TV show values.Still, VALUES. Susheel tries to point out that winning like that only makes you a loser which doesn't really get through to Satya's moral compass. Mostly because he doesn't possess one.

Note:Side effects of being brought up by a Psychopath.

Susheel then questions Satya - Who was it that taught him to cheat and live like this? Really Susheel? You have no idea? I mean , it's not like you clashed multiple times with his murderous, partially insane grandmother who wanders about with a silent woman who literally attacked you. Right?!

Satya ends the argument with the incredibly original and never-before-heard line that Susheel will always lose because she is a girl and girls always lose. Waah! Kya dialogue maara hai!!

EVERY GIRL'S REACTION EVER TO THAT ONE

Listen up CVs. I know you are trying to promote gender equality but let us try a little more subtle approach. Also it doesn't help when you show a guy who has never played basketball before in his entire life, win a match against a girl who is an expert, by practising for a day and then cheating his way through the game. Kinda sends a lot of mixed messages. I don't know the gender composition of your writing staff but it seems like you could benefit from hiring a couple more women.

Kay, this is followed by a Leela-Satya convo which we won't talk about. At this point all Leela-Satya convos should come with a disclaimer. WARNING- THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION COULD BE INJURIOUS TO YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. At least we were spared the trauma of a Leela-Susheel convo.

Cut to Susheel seething in the auto on the way home while Shivam tries to cheer her up by blabbering some nonsense about laddoos. Whatevs.

Back at home, Phui Ba is making the entire female race collectively facepalm by spouting her world view to the real stars of the show-Susheel's Uncles. What follows is some of the cutest scenes in the entire episode where Susheel's uncles try to cover for her and save her from the passive-aggressive wrath of Phui ba and Dadaji. They even manage to make Phui ba question her eyesight.😆. Now if only they could make her question her sanity.

Episode ends on a terrifying note however when Phui ba asks Susheel to describe how 'she' made the prasad ki laddoos, leaving both Susheel and me speechless. Damn. I knew I should have listened to Shivam Bhaiyya's blabbering in the auto scene.

Precap: Treasure hunt :Susheel and Satya face off. Gosh, gee I am so interested in learning the new ways to cheat that Satya will almost definitely have come up with.🤢

Side Note: Who Is The Guy that coached Satya? Dude trains Satya for one day and suddenly all of Satya's throws are baskets?
