First things first- There is no Mahaepisode for Anupamaa this upcoming sunday. It has been alloted for another show so the 500th epi dhamaka, valentines all gayi tel lene!!! 🙄🙄
The bull is always one dimensional and all it aims is for that goal- to rip apart the matador but the matador has to play all the smart tricks in the book to stay alive...This episode felt exactly like that. I am glad Anu decides to fight back instead of letting emotions get the best out of her. I have mixed feelings about this MaAn day!! I liked how she decides to stand and fight for him and choses a head on confrontation with Vanraj but the idea of slaying a character like Anuj (who is actually supposed to be the smart one here) to glorify the famous Anu vs Vanraj face off seems like poor writing to me! This is the same rinse and repeat but previously the drama was saved for the semi circle shahs and now they have dragged it to the AK industries! From where I see same difference🤷♀️🤷♀️but I got teeny meeny glimpse that this Anu will never trust Vanraj again!! 🙌🙌🙌 I know this is as impossible as anyone of us growing a 3rd Kidney but itv mein even thats possible so I am not betting on it but today's epi did vibe that thought! 🙃
We still see an emotional Anuj, helpless and broken who is done fighting and wants to walk away but needs Anu's support as he claims to not having the strength to do it alone and for the first time in normal human's world, Anu refuses to stand by his decision. She is now aware to what extent Assraj can mangle Mukku and the Kapadia empire!! I liked the parallel makers drew when Anu says "aap mere liye kya ho yeh main bathane jaaon toh waqt katham hojayege lekin mere baathe nahin". Anuj echoed the same emotion during the diwali night when voodooo Baa was possessed with Maang baro Maang baro😂😂😂
In the Ullu Banaya Kingdom, Mr Kursi shah is doing all circus tricks to brain wash Mukku par shayad utna asar nahi horaha hai kyunki brain wash ke liye brains hona zaroori hai🤓.."Ab Anuj tumhara bhai nahi hai, woh sirf Anu ka boyfriend hai", "pyaar purana hai lekin rishtha toh abhi ka hai par phir bhi tumhe chod kar gaya"...wahi dho sentences active aur passive voice mein dish out kar raha tha aur iss madam ki 'ulla ka patta' detecting machine kaam nahi kar rahi thi!!🙄🙄🙄
Anuj is taken aback by Anu's sheer determination to fight back this time coz Mukku's downfall will destroy Anuj as well and she is not ready to witness that anymore. When she says "aap aur main alag nahi hai", "aapka dhukh mera dhuk, aapki ladai meri ladai'..legit put a feeble smile on my face just for the fact that Anuj totally deserves this love. He earned it for himself and that made me feel good. Just when she tries to leave, Anuj stops her, probably coz he wasnt ready for the fight as yet and needed her at that very moment. My greedy brain wanted another hug😬😬🤪🤪The best dialogue of today was when Anu accepts ki "yeh sab meri galthi hai, sab meri galthi hai" and I was like you bet your a$$ you are the reason🙄🙄😏😏. Anu reminds him that "Mukku Aag se khel rahi hai aur uska haath jal jayega" The way Anuj said jaantha hoon again makes you think like a CID and you wonder whether there is a plan behind all this but do not throw yourself in that torture chamber pleeej..I had to remind myself this is Anupamaa and he is no professor from Money heist ki backup ka backup ka backup hoga😛😛. Anu makes him sit on the chair that rightfully belongs only to him and decides to confront the "saamraat magician couple" in the other cabin.
Round two in "Main almost maalik bangaya kingdom" Mr langoor shah is trying and trying and just when he feels Mukku ki bhai ka diya bhujne wala hai, Anupamaa chaandi walks in and demands to have a word with Mukku alone. V is adamant on not leaving and Anu makes it loud and clear ki usko Mukku ke "body guard" se baat nahi karni hai😂😂😂😂😂😂 hey baguwaan kya mazaa aaya woh sunke...aisa laga ek min ke liye uss ulla ka mooche gir gaye🤣🤣🤣..he reacts as always and yells "anupamaaaaa tumhari himmat kaisi hui' and she goes "himmat toh maine dhikaayi nahi ab tak, dhikaooo"?? This man was legit scared of her😂but still refused to leave. He kept barking and kept going boww bowww bowwww this office does not belong to you and your boyfriend bow boww..and Mukku's sister flame still burns bright when she asks him to stand outside 😂😂😂and adding insult to Injury Anu blankly asks him to shut the door on his way out😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣hey baguwaaan!! Tumhari yeh natkat aur sense of humor mujhe bahut achi lagi🙃🙃
Precap- Anu knocking some sense into Mukku which is going to be an uphill task(Anu I think this is time to pull out those voice notes) and Vanraj taunting Anuj. Oh man even that 3 sec scene got my blood boiling when he called him Anaath..using this word to insult an orphan can be very triggering. Caling anaath actually comes across as deragotary..its as if reminding someone they were not wanted!! Makers must be careful in using such language even if its for entertainment purpose!! 😐🤨😤😤😤😖😡
Verdict- As I mentioned, I had mixed feelings for this one. There are parts that are watcheable but you know where to find them. Anuj's charac being given the step sisterly treatment isnt amusing to say the least. To add to the woes, the news of prequel and rumors of Anuj is only making viewers emotionally diconnect from the show. I expected this track to be maneuvered in a totally different direction and somethings still dont sit right for me. The excitement for confession has died down amidst the chaos of a script. I am trying to take one epi at a time but if this ship is sinking, am not sacrificing my life jacket!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Happy Monday Peeps!! Have a bootiful week ahead! Let me know how badly u laughed at Ullu shah😂
