what i liked and didnt like:
no one did this for this episode. i saw it yesterday and i really loved it.
what i liked:
-the first scene where sandeep calls up urmi...urmi trying to annoy sandeep by taking aki's name and then reassuring she wont run off with him.
-the mohalla welcome for arjun and his wife wondering if everything is alright. i can understand her feelings...if i see more than 5 ppl together in usa i too wonder if everything's alrite. 😆
-the shaadi...and sandeep taking over the mantras. i felt that was very sweet of him. he managed bauji and arjun.
-during the shaadi the deewane strategically standing behind urmi. 😆 another well thought out placement by the director.
-the change in mood once the mohalla realizes that arjun has come to take bauji away...that was brought out so well. the joyous mood suddenly turned grim.
-urmi's bimbo style flirting with sandeep calling him sandeep babu. sandeep has gotten used to sandeep babu i guess so he didnt object. 😉
-sandeep's back handed compliment to urmi on wearing the skirt. so typical of him. also telling her 'ek ek karke jao na'.
-urmi getting angry with arjun for causing pain to sandeep and taking up cudgels on his behalf unsuccessfully. so sweet!
-urmi and the deewane...poor jugle! 😆
what i didnt like:
arjun's attitude abt the whole thing...he was really unemotional. i think bauji would have been more ready to go with him if arjun would have put it a more nicer way.
observations:
i noticed some things which have carried over much later too...kudos to chabhi team for maintaining consistency
-sandeep sharing his problems with urmi and sukka...he doesnt fear that urmi might leak out stuff to the mohalla.
-only urmi and sukka think abt what will happen to sandeep once bauji leaves.
-sandeep was much more cheerful in these episodes...joking with arjun.
-sandeep is such an attentive son...he is really sweet. during arjun's marriage when bauji is thinking of his wife on sandeep notices it.
-sandeep not taking a stand and going with the flow...very typical of him again.
-urmi and zoya...seeing them in the mohalla was great. these 2 girls provided the viewpoint of younger women(all others being married) and velle providing viewpoints of younger men. i really missed this in chabhi later on when zoya and urmi disappeared.
all in all it was a lovely episode. i want this chabhi back.
