Today's episode was superb. Loved the way the whole episode was paced. I can never have enough of Sonali - Agastya ka scenes. Dang the brother - sister duo are superb in tashan. Sonali has an inkling that Agastya ka marriage is something fishy and she will not stop until she proves it to Dadima. Agastya knows that he is threading on thin ice but dare he show it on his face. He is so confident that any normal human would believe his story outright. But not Sonali. Can't wait to see how the sister is going to try to separate the couple but ends up getting them closer.
So Imlie is back at home and Agastya who has not heard the voice note till then is expectedly angry on her. But Imlie manages the situation and tries to finish the rasam. There was a subtle advertising of Dawaat Rice with Imlie saying that she will do Biryaani. Yup PH does need money so why not - This also means that Imlie might be working good enough in the trp circles that the advertisers has used the show to highlight their product. Phew the fan in me is really glad and happy.
Sonali trying to make things difficult for Imlie asks for a difficult dish to be prepared. I liked the way Agastya was concerned for Imlie but at the same time the egoistic guy that he is, he thought that Imlie will try to do the dish just to get good nekh (gift). He still does not know what makes a girl like Imlie tick. He is learning it slowly and by the time he unravels the mystery that Imlie is, he would be head over heels in love with her. I loved the way Agastya was standing there watching Imlie work. I think he was amazed by the way Imlie was going on with the task and cooking. Agastya babu -time to rehire chef Imlie maybe?
The Dadi and the whole family loves the dish and I am glad Dadi praised Imlie. Bechari she needs the love of family and blessings from elders. And when Imlie made Agastya taste the sweet, the bg music was superb - it was of a heart beating symbolically indicating that Agastya's heart will start to beat now that Imlie is in his life. My guess is in tomorrow's episode, we will have Agastya come down and finish the dish cooked by his wife secretly.
I loved the way Imlie just took 100 Rs from Dadi. Definitely Agastya was shocked as all this time he thinks that Imlie is greedy only for money. If only you knew Babu. But Agastya will not lose this golden chance, He gets the nod from the Dadi to sit in Director's chair and take care of Chawdary Sweets. Sonali's face was too good - She knew that she lost this round again to Agastya.
And now comes the most beautiful part in the episode. Once Agastya comes to the room, he remembers that Imlie had sent him a voice note and finally hears the voice note. And then he realizes that Imlie was hurt and he sees Imlie tending to her wounds all alone. Sigh - Agastya could not stop himself from tearing up. Will this guy even be able to walk away once he knows the reason Imlie married him and more so when he knows that Ashu is no other than his dead brother's son who Imlie has been raising so lovingly till now. Sai definitely nails down the regret filled scenes and it was good to see fighter Imlie fight him back. Of course Imlie had right to be angry on Agastya but she just doesn't know that once Agastya decides something he gets it be it hook or crook. Gul's team definitely knows how to use good BG music and it was so nice to hear Dil Hain Ki Manta Nahin in the background when Agastya watches Imlie tending to her wounds helplessly. Once he knows Imlie is hurt, he does not think anything other than getting her to safety of their room and if Imlie is not agreeing to it, okay fine lift her and get her. Yeah it is a recreation of a scene from Sai ka previous show but this one is entirely different in context so for me it did not feel same.
And the best part was the last part of the episode. Imlie getting angry on Agastya and telling that she is there only for 6 months and Agastya not wanting her to say it ever. Yup babu you will not be able to leave Imlie once you know what she is. Agastya trying to apologize for his behavior today and Imlie all huffed and puffed and pouting cutely - sorry ke kaka. ROFL.
A very nice episode and I am really looking forward to how these 2 understand each other. A very plus thing is that mami and bulbul were not in the episode and neither was the jeeja.
