The Game of Cat and Mouse

Well usually I prefer to write the review with gifs but today will do differnt

The 19 year old intelligent girl / woman is still a 19 year old.. she is not accustomed to some of the dark/ hidden secrets of the world.. scenes like these make you give a real tight hug to imlie and tell her the world is not a nice place.. but at the same time pull her cheek say your are so cute!!

Imlie gets into a fight with a guy who tries to slap prostitute and gives a good advice to the women to not trust any MAN as they r never gonna keep the promise.. and also tell the prostitutes that she is smart cos she has got VAJIFA 😆

The scene between Radha, BK , Malini and Aditya was very annoying to begin with but then I saw it again i felt neither Radha nor BK called them husband wife.. rather mummy papa.. T family have accepted that this is union of convenience right now.. the end even if they want to change it aditya wont let them..

also Malini was very smart in playin to idiotic stories of BK and got her hand tied to Aditya when he was least interest in the whole kalwa thing.. Its he same way she is trying to tie aditya down but he will not be himself as he will keep looking for imlie.. in everything.. everywhere.. more malini will try to keep him away from imlie.. more difficult its gonna get...

Imlie taking lift from the random guy also shows her that world is not very good and you really have to think before taking decision / help from anyone..Imlie mostly remembered SK again and decided to use her brain and got herself back to T house.

The broken trophy has significance that imlies relationship with aditya is also broken.. damaged by maligned intensions... and aditya will not be able to repair it.. it will have to be imlie to do it.. it will imlie who will figure this chakravyuvha..

Best was Aparna - Rupi - Imlie scene.. a lot more clarity on where everyone stands.. Rupi never liked Malini and her stand is clear.. malini should not get priority.. Imlie is clear that Aditya definitely has responsibilities towards Malini and the baby.. so she does' want him to turn his back to that but its like aditya is in middle.. whenever he will choose malini and the baby he will turn his back to imlie (which he has done couple times already .. deleting video and not going to pick u imlie) and if he takes one step towards imlie he will be missing out on the baby... so she is unsure how their relationship is gping to turn

Thats where Aparna came.. and even though i am still upset the way aparna has behaved wih imlie the advice she gave will work as two pronge approach on Malini

Aparna asked imlie not to stand on the opposite side of Malini.. if imlie moves towards Malini n baby then aditya will not have to decide what to choose from... he will always choose Baby and Imlie.. this will be a deal they will have to stick to as the baby is important at this point

1. She called Imlie aditya's wife... not dusri auraat... not invalid shaadi... one.. PT's words amde Aparna see the sense.. So now Malini is only on paper aditya's wife... she canhave the baby and expect a lot more but amily like aditya has started to move towards Imlie..

2. She also said i dont want you to forgive Malini or accept her.. but dont take your anger of Malini out on the baby... which is a very valid point... Imlie will / is following aparna's advice... giving rise to very unintentional side effect.. This is going to annoy Malini

3. Malini conceptualised the plan of pregnancy thinking Imlie will leave.. well even we all thought that Imlie will leave once she gets to know about the baby..she would have changed her way by being emotional

but imlie is here.. and even after every attempt by Malini imlie is not moving.. like a Pahaad... the logical imlie will make Malini very very emotional.. and annoyed and irritated... Malini is a cat and imlie is a mouse.. and as hard as the cat is trying to get rid of mouse.. the mouse is coming out as a winner..

Aditya asking imlie to come for date.. - i say they will go not go on a day.. makers chop please 😆

Pre-cap - Imlie gave electric shock to malini, fandom and if aditya was there even him.. 🤣 But she is going to address that unborn child as her own.. and that malini's face is going to be amazing 😆

Please follow forum rules while posting and keep discussions on the episode. Please refrain from name calling or bashing characters or actors.

Hmm...reserved, no, not for two..

Hmm haan hi hota hai, yeh kaisa hai clue?!

kya se kya ho gaya hai re that every day is a bit of a shock

mere rhymes ko lag gaya permanent lock!

thanks Seera ji for the post today...🤗

The particular scene of Imlie with the hookers and then she hitch hiking so naively was so unnecessary. And they shot this at 2:00 am in the night makes me even more dumbfounded?! Instead of all of that, all they had to show was Imlie alone at the bus stop having some monologues! Stranger danger is a very common thing taught as kids and something that is very intuitive, so not sure what was that entire situation...maybe to lighten up the episode, not sure..! The dude even maroed a comment on Imlie ka pati! Mutlab banda bhi suna gaya AKT ko! Again, AKT standing there doing zilch I would have bought, but why is he not feeling any iota of guilt, Gash is totally resigned! The man emoted more with tears welling up in the first 100 episodes than what he is doing now, knowing what a pathetic situation this is for Imlie. Such a badly executed scene. It could have been made more poignant by showing that angst but such a dud! Oh well again, this is all moving towards Imlie ka confusion on how and what place will she have in AKT's life...which did happen as the next scene with her, Rupi di and Aparna..

Yahan pregnancy instant, chinese bhi instant ban gaya, toh Aparna bhi ab ekdum instantly flip mar gayi- Like Seeraji mentioned- the biggest highlight today was Aparna acknowledging that Adi is Imlie ka pati, period. Oh Kalini, tera aim chooka re...what you coveted is gone..you can have the chaat, but lagne wali hai teri vaat! Because Imlie is here to become a mommy to AKT's chotu..! However contrived this may sound, the precap did look interesting! I could only laugh at Malini's expression of KYA?! 🤣 Oh the line of thought she might have had...🤣

And what is this craving? Abhi toh chaat kha ke aayi ser sappatte pe...ab chinese aur woh bhi chinese pizza khana hai? Mommy to two, aisi bhayanak cravings pehli baar dekhi hai!

Now coming to Babusahib cribbing about busy Imlie, bandi ne instant chop bhi kar di aaj! Oho kya instant wala din hai aaj..kahin instant maggi noodles toh nahi bana diya Malini ke liye😆! Now I do have a problem with this entire date thing. I feel a bit of cringe, because again seems so misplaced. Rather than first discussing any of the happenings, he is trying to be comically romantic..Oh I dunno! I guess that date actually will not happen, so again this is more like a set up for the next level of this game that Malini will play for the chotu..

All in all I see where this is all heading...but not a very well executed episode..aajkal woh bhi bas instant hi ban rahe hain!

Edited

Thanks for the WU and thread Seera 🤗

Today my mood is slightly better.. after seeing Imlie smile.. that poor gal.. has been through so much..this week alone.

Was it a great week.. nah... but still the needle moved and we got to see Apu turn a corner. I also liked that Imlie is learning to be independant and came home on her own, though it was risky. Her naivete and innocence is very endearing to see and the girl who is fearless does not know the women she met are ladies of the night. Still her innocence was preserved and was able to hitchhike a ride and got herself out of a sticky situation.

Adi getting caged in a marriage was very evident today.. earlier he chose to be with M and now she is sneakily and emotionally BM him to be at her beck and call. The man gave zero faraks to her in the car ride and felt he was grimacing more than smiling... and lost in thoughts of Imlie. Oh how sweetly the knife was twisted into Adi for trying the thread... and his eyes were restlessly searching for his jhalli only. Baby or no baby, the man is gone, she will be left holding only the ashes.

As for everyone rushing out on hearing the noise made by Imlie and BK was funny, asking Sundar to fetch the danda to hit the guy... to giving Adi taana from a total random stranger was...🤣

Poor Imlie.. her trophy broken like her dreams, hurt and disappointed... that Aditya did not come to pick her up.. again he broke her trust in him..... confirmed by the next words uttered by M.. as for BK-RAdha, I ignored what they said... seeing Radha smile like that... was..too much for me to bear.

Apu what a turn..from her and the thawing has begun..the ice has begun to melt at last. PT's words have an impact and she is observing what Imlie has done and is doing now. Gives her advice like a stern mother and cries..while saying it. Hmmmm... Imlie gets a new lease of life on hearing her words.. this was a lively scene.

The coldness continues between Adilie and Imlie is hands off... to Adi... who tries to talk to her.. and says sorry again for the nth time.. and wants to take her on a date..a lunch date.. Oh..Imlie melted at last.. and gave a tiny little smile.. Adi is also kush... awww... happy Imliya.. is good. As for the resident evil.. she is always lurking about and slithering hither n thither with strange cravings.. and treating people like dirt. Bring it on lady... you are gonna lose..loser dd.

Jeet Gayi yeh debate, toot gayi hai trophy

Trophy broken like the trust she held

Trust broken because of the truth he withheld;

Tied are those relations and tangled are my emotions

Easy for you to ask me to break them, I wish you knew my inner agitations.

——————————————————

Posting from the written update thread.

Not every day is a “look for positivity in everything” day, but today I feel like it.

So here it goes … what Aparna for a change was alluding to, to me implied that Imlie to embrace the child and become a mother to the child. Instant pregnancy for M is instant motherhood for Imlie. You get it!

So from this point on, Imlie might shove the “baby is equally mine” viewpoint to which Malini’s response will be a treat to watch.

• She will be either scared to share the baby (if the pregnancy is real)
• Fear that the closer Imlie is to the concept of a baby, Adi will also be drawn to that conclusion of imagining a happy family with Imlie and not with M
• if the baby is fake, chances of the truth coming out are high
• if she is possessive of said baby, she will want to get rid of Imlie and hence NDE will be justified

I don’t know but all these episodes are seemingly pointing toward the pregnancy being real. As much as I hate to admit that, I am seemingly becoming ok with it as the days pass on. I guess I am channeling my inner Adi.

Thank you Seera ji..❤️ aagayi hoon

THE ONE WITH THE KALAAVA

Ok, starts with our innocent Imlie at the bus stop with sex workers who apparently are much more humane compared to dd and bonus mein even their outfits are better than hers

Imlie asks them if they're waiting for rikshaw.. they say jo bhi milein.. "joan bhi mile? jaldi ma ho?" says our bholi imaliya. As they leave one by one with men, she thinks to herself ki this ye dd toh went with her pati, maybe everyone here is waiting for their patis just like me.. but sab ke BABUs are coming and taking their wives but babusahib kab aayi hai? oooo lemme guess.. tohre babu bhi koi aur ko leke chalagaya drive pe

She asks them if they feel any thand.. but they say hamari kaam mein kisiko thand nahi lagti. achhaa aisa haii.. now I know why dd wears sleeveless even for late-night long drives with windows down

She then does some cute bachhi talks with them and then bhagaaos the "khajur ke bheej" lol he legit look like that khair kuch toh apt likhte hai ye log..

Then she reminds him of how marad promise but won't fulfill them

Anyway, filler scene khatam. Ab back to cringeiyaan

Actual khajur and cravings waali aurat are back home, isko itnaa bhi awkwardness hota toh he wouldn't have walked by her side.. thodi der car me rukhke aajata gadha. par nahi take care karna haina har kadam pe

Aaagayi radha with constipation, tells them ki kitne shubh samay pe aaye ho. wtheck is that shubh samay? are bhai inn tripathi's ke paas wall clock ya watch nahi hai kya? baahar midnight hogayi hai your bahu is not even finding a bus, sex workers bhi chale gaye matlab it must be 2 am or something aur ye kaunsi aarti hai that you do at 2 am? kuch kshudrjaal karriho ka?

As if the cringe wasnt enough, radha ji remembers her cravings, no please stop

Ok this khamba looking around for Imlie, why didn't you go to her kona directly? nahi you can't move na youre a kambha so you've to stand there and ask someone ki imlie aayi hai ya nahi. but dd ne baat katdi but still you don't have any doubt still he's not leaving that place, aur jaana hai toh dd ke samne kehke jaana cuz she has to stop you na.. ok at least this you did properly chalo maaf kardiya

This woman wants to baandho kalava now. And this guy won't believe in such things but bachhe keliye hai toh he'll do.. yeah right cuz bachhe ko ghanta farak padega that you did or did not tie that kalaava. and baad mein agar she asks ki bachhe is getting scared it needs its papas hand toh ye uski tum-tumiya pe bhi haath rakhke rubbing karega?

And honestly, ye maha cringe hai.. kya ek saath baandhna? mujhe toh lagta hai aise bandhne se conjoint twins na tapak pade bas

Back to the bus stop, bhale aadmi aaya hai imlie ko pickup karne..but he is neither bhala nor maanus this guy legit zinda laash lagraha tha even while calling her Rani but he did a good job in the end

Back to mahaaaa cringe scene of kalava baandhna. eww gosh yuck... And bk says zor se baadhiye radha ji ok control controoool

this psycho was saying something bandhte jayenge mere saath and this editor too looks like a psycho.. kya emotional flute music daal rakha hai bg mein

Ok, Imlie manages to make the zinda laash drive to T-house usko bevkoof banaake, n slaps him. slap se life agaya bandhe mein.. jhatka diya adi ko lol saying voh tumhare pati hai? voh toh kisi aur ke haath padke khade hai? voh tumhe kya lene aate hai vaha? adi's face lol mai kya bataau.. fatke chaar hogayi hai bechare ka

Aajkal bk ko danda aur rolling pin fekne ka shauk chadgaya. eyy danda leke aana lol

Imlie said kono baat nahi but adi wants to apologize n being the chamdi he is, wanted to touch her hand but imlie ne peeche hatgayi loool tujhe toh ye bhi nahi milne wala ab se.. chamdi kahika

She says she wanted to show this to him first but everything is ruined. He says nothing is ruined I'll fix it toh kardi chop ye kehke kaisan jode? aapke haath toh bandhe hue hai lol iska firse fatke aat hogaya

Imlie washing her face in kitchen, rupi di comes to console her, and doormat Imlie soche ki how can he leave apan hoyewale aulad aur uuki ma AKELE? wtheck girl, she's not akela you don't make yourself karela. But thank goodness you started thinkiiing ki eeke baad ka hui hai.

Behold, tapak padi insensitive sasuma to ask to be bachhe ki ma and not other things which I don't even want to type and asks her to baato her pati ka pyaar.. why didn't you baato your pati ka pyar when he accepted her as his bahu? bhakk useless "maa"

So now that she says ye sab seekhna hoga, it is clear that she accepted her as her bahu. if she can act nice n normal with MC even after all this, why doesn't she act nice with Imlie? maybe give her a room? or a cot in the kona? ok ok, she's trying, she'll be there in some time whatever.

ok, multi-ma wale bachha? kab ayega tu?

Cravings wali aurat abhi abhi dhahi bhalla khaake aayi hai and if I'm not wrong, it should be 3 am by now, right? haan 3am ko Chinese order kiya and ye sundar bhi sabko lauki khilayega midnight. wah bhai sab ke sab paagal hai.

Sundar says ajinomoto sab dalte hai bachhe keliye achha nahi.. this aurat is like kaha ke bachha lol mujhe khana hai, bas parosdo.. and leaves but aha she never actually leaves eavesdrop jo karna hai pata nahi kabse vahi pe khadi thi waiting for imlie to come n talk to sundar and then her preparing food, then adi coming to imlie. tab tak vahi pe khadi thi lol

Aagaya chamdi to apologize, says aajkal tum hamare liye busy hi rehti ho.. hehh?? kuch bhi dialogues bhaii please stop I'm beeegin beeegin youuu uuuuuu... But Imlie didn't wait to chop, said aaj toh you were busy. he started apologizing ok.. wait wait.. ye kya hai "humhe laga van se aaogi"? you should say "malini ne kaha tum van se aaogi" and then shaq karo uspe at least now but no, track ko keechna hai bubble gum ki tarah..

And please don't ever again say ki "tumhare paas aajaye" pata nahi uske baad kya kar baithega tu

Lunch pe chalna hai gadhe ko.. ab isme bhi sirf khaana.. movie kyu nahi lejate? kulfi khiladete par nahi.. sirf khaana khaana hai mujhe

sirf hum dono aur koi nahi please agar koi aur ayegi toh pata nahi kitna khayegi.. abhi abhi dahi bhalla khachuki hair phir bhi chinese order kargayi mujhe bohot dar lagraha hai

and aaya blackmail karne.. insult to nahi karvaogi na.. nahi karvayegi.. table for 2 mein zaroor do log honge but who the 2nd person will be this tujhe abhi nahi batayenge.. kal dekhlene

ok toh ek balamwa fekdiya hum sab ke muh pe.. they know us and we're shameless

but honestly that scene was cute. par kya faida

Ab dd ne bhi sunlieess, mom ko call karegi

THE END.

This track and our reaction in one GIF would be:

Thanks seers 🤗

Mixed bag episode today😆. Buddhi versus bhavnao ka tug of war laga aaj ka pura episode. Imlu is very conflicted with the baby in the picture hence her nirnay lene ka jhanjhat using bhavna versus buddhi was shown today 😆. We got a sober apu advising imlu on how to navigate the complicated dynamics of her marriage. So it seemed like she has come to terms with the fact that adilie are married👏.

Episode begins with imlu waiting at the bus stop with the call girls. She asks them if they are waiting for rickshaw. Didi log reply saying rickshaw, gaadi , auto , bike jo bhi mile 🤓. Bhai kya sasthe ott side actors le aaye. Inse tho madam yam better thi psycho types 🤣.

Imlu looks at one didi getting into a car and leaving. Assumes ki sab didi log kaam khatam karke apne pathiyon ka intajaar kar raili hain to be picked up. Wishing bs comes and picks her up she continues small talk asking if they dont feel cold to which she hears a cringe reply humare kaam me kisi ko thand nahi lagthi😳. Even more wahiyaat forced comedy yeh aapki uniform hai kya to which they reply aisa hi kuch hai samjho🤓. Imlu gives bhaashan and chases away a guy who harasses one of the didis with imlu assuming him to be a husband raising his hand on a wife. Didis sarcastically say imlu is very smart to which she proudly talks about her wazifa and says she studies at city college😆. The purpose of this scene was primarily to give khatarnaak didiya much needed time to phasao adi further into the jaal of jimmadari nibhaana using baby as bait. Stuck out like a sore thumb.

https://giphy.com/gifs/xULW8jvwhvl6BD0ig8

Back home radha and bk are mooning over gb and adi when they return home from didiyas chaat kaand. Bheja fry scene on radha bk recollecting what they experienced through radhas pregnancy. Adi looks totally disinterested like us poor viewers. Idhar udhar uncomfortably dekh raha ki kabh me in pakao logo se dhoor bhagu😆.

https://giphy.com/gifs/be-quiet-14icGyB57tKwlG

He asks tauji if imli is back home and didiya deliberately steers convo away when bk starts to respond😡. Bk radha recall the kalaawa they were asked to tie to each other and didiya jumps on an opportunity to emotionally blackmail adi to have them tie one for the baby😡. Radha and bk zabardasthi karke tie a kalaawa around the wrists of adi malini🤢. Wonder what makers are trying to prove here with bk radha after the intoxication kaand has been split open and even after aparna is giving less bhaav to didiya probably realizing that what happened was a jurm done by ac🤬. They look completely unmoved by whatever was revealed. Disgusting🤢

Back in the bus stop imlu is still waiting and a guy drives up in bike. He assumes she is a call girl while our imlu (thanks to waahiyaath writing 🤬) assumes he is a bhala maanus who offers to drop her home🤪. On the way the dude starts saying creepy things and takes her down a deserted road🤢. Imlu ka dimaag finally wakes up when she realizes he is a lafanga and mimics a police siren to trick him into taking her home. Ghar jaake ek jorka thappad marthi hai and yells at the dude saying oo hai humre pathi pointing to adi who is walking out with everyone. Jerk dude looks at kalaawa and taunts imlu saying tumhare pathi ne kisi aur ka haath pakada hai wo tumhe lene kya aatha and tries to drag her away in front of entire family. Imlu is upset to see adi malini wrists tied with the kalawa. Adi is trying to untie the kalaawa and the entire fam rushes forward to drive the thug away.

Adi asks imlu if she is okay, who the guy was and asks why she did not take the college van home. An upset imlu tells him he was supposed to come get her and curses herself for having bharosa on him😭. Didi intervenes with supposedly evil expressions 🤣 saying mera chaat khaane ka mann hua aur adi mere saath busy ho gaye😡. Adi terms it as misunderstanding, asks her if she is okay to which imlu responds that she is and insensitively asks her how her debate was to avoid dealing with a high stress situation. Yeh investigative patrakaar kaise bana bey?😡 rupi bajaaoes him on all behalf of all viewers🤣 asking are u serious tujhe abhi debate ki padi hai aur itni padi hai tho dhyaan se dekh jeeth gayi hai debate👏. Imlu is sad about broken trophy and tells adi tearfully that she wanted to show it to him first. Adi reassures her ki wo trophy ko jhod dega😡 to which imlu responds uske haath bandhe huwe hai and walks away upset. He is just standing there like a khamba instead of running to manao her🤬.

https://giphy.com/gifs/amazon-prime-video-mirzapur-yeh-hai-MogxXPj1VvIDQ8WpkG

Rupi comes over to comfort her choti behen and wo bol diya jo viewers bolna chah rahe hain ki adi ne accha nahi kiya , tum dono ke beech me already itne saare misunderstandings hain aur upar se patha nahi adi ko kya ho jatha hai aur kyun malini to lekar chala gaya😡. Imlu says she was pissed with adi but then realized that bs cannot leave the hone waala baccha and its amma alone. Imlu wants bs to care for the child but wonders what will happen to their marriage in the midst of all this😭.

Apu apparently had heard the entire convo anf comes forward to say tumhe apne pathi ka pyaar baantna seekhna hoga.imlu and rupi are shocked. Rupi says kaun si aurath apna pathi dusri aurath ke saath share kar sakthi hai. To which apu responds imlu has share pathi ka pyaar with aane waala baccha not dusri aurath. Apu advises imlu ek baar aane waale bacche ki zindagi me apni jagah doondkar dekho sab samajh jaaogi. She continues saying i am not asking that u forgive malini or apnao her but just that maa ka gussa bacche par math nikaalo. Asks her to decide what she wants to be for the baccha sautheli maasi, sautheli maa banogi ya phir sirf maa.

Didiya does her nautanki in the kitchen about having ordered chinese food and asks sundar to paroske dena on plates. Sundar says he could have cooked healthy chinese food for her at home but she rebukes him rudely saying he should only do what she asked for🤢. Imlu comes in and offers to cook healthy chinese for didiya when sundar relates what happened. Prgnancy elated kuch locha possible lagtha hai looking at how didiya is carelessly ordering junk food. Then we have adi coming in and persuading imlu to go on a date with him instead of addressing how upset she was with him not picking her up😡. Emotionally tries to blackmail her saying aaj kal tum hamare liye bahuth busy ho to which imlu responds he was too busy to be with her today. Repeats hee misunderstood that shr was coming back by college van. Nishu has already arranged table for two and additionally blackmails bhabhi saying table for 2 booked hai. Adi manwaa letha hai with didiya listening in the background and making plans to ruin the date.

Precap me imlu wearing a chinese dress to serve didiya home cooked food snd drops a bumwa that wo bhi maa ban ne waali hai. Kya soch ke aayi didiya aur ab imlu thanks to advise from apu is all set to become didiya ki unborn bacche ki maa 🤣.

I just wish they had shown Adi breaking the thread in angst and frustration at the end of the scene. It would’ve given us a small hope while we look for symbolisms. He is still struggling or will we.

Something is definitely a miss. The thread was for the chotu. so how could he break it...Moon jaap, Imlie patni hai jaap, now its the chotu jaap....AKT bass japta rahan!!

I think they are keeping this all ambiguous, one to rile us up so we give them the negative publicity..😆. And two, to increase Imlie's confusion so as to eventually bring this track to some kind of culmination.

For me best culmination will be miscarriage happens Imaliya giving dosh to herself but male lead comes to know she has no hand (either fake preggers or malini did self harm resulting in Miscarriage) and he telling again and again that Imlie has no hand in it but none belives him specially Imlie as they might say he is doing that for moving away from his answerability and to stop Imlie from leaving🤣
