For today's review, I am gonna apply the reverse principle.
Will outline short snippets of the episode starting from the end, because if I don't, my head will continue to hurt real bad
Okay, so what can you expect to know/gain from today's episode?
a) There are NO martyr-like sacrifices made in the name of family. No, Mohini doesn't jump in to save her boy, and nor does Anu or Prerna. There's a lot of "please, aisa mat karo" to "Oh my baby" to "Aaj main apne praan de dunga Maa ke liye" standing stiff -and-folding hands-drama before the goon.
And it all ends with Prerna plucking out a wire from some decorative lights on the side (you could do that without hurting yourself, eh? I didnt know) and flinging it on the floor. Which by the way, was wet (why? we'll come to that later). So you can imagine, the ruffian got electrocuted and fell flat on the floor. But nothing happens to the Sharmas or the Basus because they were all conveniently, safely perched on the wooden stage, screaming for dear life. So much hype for THIS.
b) The goon pulls the trigger but nothing happens to Anurag, who he seems to have taken a sudden, uncharacteristic fondness to. He apparently wanted to test his pistol, I believe 😆😆Which suggests maybe the CVs wanted to treat us to Happy Children's Day? anyway, it's 14th November aaj guys...🥱🥱🥱
c) We got to know Anurag is fearless, can do anything for his family, is sharp-minded, and a star football player who knows how to strategize and win the game - these aren't my words, these are Mohini's words. Which will apparently help him win the fight against these goons as well - okay, these are my words😆. What a way to introduce that football wala nugget, haan? Ab bataya hai toh use football khelte huey dikha bhi do (😉)
d) We also get to know in clear, unequivocal terms that Prerna too can do anything for her family, but no, please don't hope this will help Anurag in connecting the dots and somehow magically getting to know the fiasco she has willingly become a part of, to "protect her family's honour".
e) Even shady goons can smell love brewing between two people they've met for the first time in their lives. Ufff..yeh pyaar..kaise sab ki aankhon ko dikh raha hai, bas tumhen hi nahin dikh raha hai AnuPre😛
On a side note, I loved it when the gang leader called Naveen babu Pre's dad😆
f) After yesterday's backlash over portraying Pre as the one with the chhota dimag, CVs changed their tactics swiftly and made Pre the "rescuer" here. But the writing is so weak and the "twists" so un-interesting and pointless, it only left me "meh"😕 Coz by this time I'd realized, we're getting nothing of relevance here. Just more clickbait, and I was right, because out of the blue, as the Sharmas and Basus are all hugging and breathing deep, two idiots of the thug camp catch hold of Prerna. Ab kal use bait banayenge🥱
Now, over to the stupidity:
a) Moloy Basu, that ingenious way in which you tried to "signal" your predicament to the police cops. Wow. How subtle it was. Like, you vehemently screaming "dekho yahan kaun khush hai..I mean, kaun dukhi hai...party chal rahi hain yahan...KAUN KEHTA HAI KI YAHAN LUTERE AAYE HAIN" is so so subtle that the goons wouldn't understand what you're trying to do.
b) Even a 5th grader could understand these signs. Why did the police just turn on their heels😲😲? What's wrong with them? They realized their folly halfway through the journey back. Please fire these idiots! Or rather, these idiots should be fired!
c) If you really want your son to practically become invisible in this crisis, then please SHUT UP, Mohini Basu. You're totally hurting the goon's ego by singing praises of your seedha sada bhola bhala Anu. Why? If you want him to just evaporate and not be a part of this scene, then quit talking about how great he is, duh!
d) When angry and frustrated, throw pails of water on the floor, forget the real purpose of your visit (mmm...thuggery?) and then literally die in that very pool of water. Goon sahab, itna dimag kaise paaya aapne?
e) Use the mic INSIDE THE HOUSE to issue threats😆😆😆 I couldn't think of such plot twists, you know, even if I tried hard. But then, I ain't an Ekta Kapoor production's writer either.
Lastly, over to the sass (and more):
a) "Woh MERA Anu hai". Damn. Mohini Basu is sass personified. Although I do not agree with her lack of tact in that moment, I loved how fierce and put-together she was, even at that critical juncture. She even made the goon get intrigued by Anu, who couldn't help but say out loud "aisa kya hai usmein"😆😆 Oh, and she looks absolutely GORGEOUS.
b) Twice in today's episode, Anu held back and did not go through with his smart-ass schemes:
One, when one of the goons held the pistol to Pre's head.
Two, when the gang leader was threatening Mohini at gunpoint.
What'll happen when he has to choose between the two???😕😕😕
P.S. Is it just me or the goon really WAS behaving a bit like Nana Patekar in today's episode?
All in all, a pretty click bait episode from which I only took away the ONE fact that matters to me right now- Anu's moves in the football field😆😆😆 Baki saare half-truths, half-lies, half-baked theories ka aachar banaya jaa sakta hai.
PRECAP - Anu confronts Naveen. Again. Why, Anu? Why do you do this? Why you being so honest? Just catch that perv unaware naa!!
