About the only believable part of the latest fiasco that was the 'Maha Episode' and its 'nipping at the heels' follow-on ... Anuj and 'Durphitte moohn' (that's a good Punjabbi blessing) Bhalla sharing a meal ... behind bars ... I can see why that was so poignant for Anuj ... reminded him of the time when he had been banished to his room by Poppa-ji and mum-zee fed him through the window ... that must have been a window, also with iron bars ... 😃
Too bad, they don't have the same old-fashioned kind of fenestration at the new Dagar mansion ... that poor sod Omi ... clawing at the glass pleading with his 'Tu-ji' to not leave him at the mercy of the Nakul demon ... that moron still in white socks (with dark shoes, dark trousers and electric blue shirt) ... and let's not miss the cravats!! Those haven't been a fashion statement since ... lemme see ... the 1930s (?) ... here in the West ... and to appreciate how well the pattern and color match the rest of his ensemble, one has to be on some very potent hallucinogen!! 😕
Amazing how Omi's glasses once again came through unscathed despite the sound thrashing (I wonder if Corning glassware would be interested in this astoundingly resilient glass ... they could make megabucks ... unless it's patented of course) ... replete with hockey sticks ... that guy has been reduced to a pulp just how many times already? Equally amazing that not a soul at the Dhaba thought to call the police, and goodness only knows if he sprinted back home (his broken bones in tow) ... because if it was one of cars from the Dagar fleet that he used, one wonders why the chauffer did not think to notify the family that the wretch was in a doo-doo of gigantic proportions!! 'Hamare Baba ki nishaani hai ye Dhaba' ... gee ... what do you suppose Baba-ji did for a living? 😃
The whole scene with Nitu - best forgotten ... KB'ites sure bleed easy ... every time you turn around, someone's getting their heads banged against a hard object ... and presto! There's that patch of red on the side of the head that never seems to get wiped off and nobody suffers even a concussion!! Except for Poppa-ji ... he came tumbling down (like Jack) ... did not break his crown (not like Jack) ... but ended up almost quadriplegic ... 😕
Oops! Another exception - Bhalla!! How come, he had not a blemish on his silken complexion after the pounding he got at Abhi's hands (especially given the strength Hercules Abhi displayed when ramming through the door)?! Oh! I know! Abhi did not have those concrete blocks at hand to use on Bhalla's impenetrable skull ... but we are thankful to Matarani that Bhalla did not succeed in garroting Poppa S. (it usually takes far less time to do away with someone like the rest of us mere mortals) ... and, Simi, if you think that Matarani is examining you, then I think she needs to go to some school to learn how to formulate a credible exam ... you cannot test people on a subject of which they have little knowledge - in our case LIFE (!!!) ... it's bloody unfair, and I vehemently protest!!! 😕
Talk about contrived (yes, yes, this isn't the first time ... I know, I know ) ... mum-zee's dupatta had to be taken off to let her don the gota smothered glittering one for the celebration so Anita could get her paws on the armoire keys ... who, as usual, was flawless ... as was Mili ... completely hoodwinked mum-zee into letting her have the keys ...
I did like the look of the kale-chane and pooris given to the Kunchakan (the young girls who were having their feet bathed) ... we had the same deal last week at my place (no young girls, just the goodies) ... but we also got halva ... wonder if those little 'uns did too (since the party broke up so prematurely - did give the Padosans a chance to change their minds tho') ... wasn't Dolly Chaachi all decked out to the hilt? Man, that's one fashionable gal (especially the color-coordinated gargantuan silk roses in her hair) ... and Mili got another chance to show off new duds!! as did Simi!! Wow, I actually liked the outfit she had on today ... didn't look like it came from the wholesale mart ... I don't want to speak in haste ... may have to eat my words tomorrow ... and they ain't going to taste like halva going down ... but someone, assure me please that Abhi did not have purple sneakers to match that glowing purple T-shirt!! 😕
The scene at the bank was written by a middle-school dropout ... Abhi cannot afford a good meal but is offering Mr. Pramod Kumar a 3-day-2-night package deal in Nainital (what was the other place?) ... he should be glad that the manager showed up and nipped things in the bud ... because Omi doesn't have any more moola to bail out Abhi from this decidedly idiot scheme ... the latter is rapidly going down the character drain and emerging the other end an abject fool ... there he is ... bawling at his minlaw's feet ... 'boohoohooo ... wifey and I had been feeling oh so orphaned until you folded us in your warm loving embrace' ... y'right! This guy's been hanging around that bawling wife too long ... it's rubbing off ... and giving me a stomachache ... the one that happens right before one pukes ... 🤢
Then we have Manju ... undergoing such a transformation at such lightning speed ... even calls the Police ... who handcuff Anuj without a single question about all the goings-on ... hauling the two (Bhalla thrown their way by Abhi only as an afterthought) straight to Karol Bagh jail ... where all the staff sound like they came fresh-off-the-boat from Haryana ... and mum-zee ain't taking any more lip from Neetu ... wonder how she is going to explain the deal to the Dagars - the rogue's child that is growing by leaps and bounds inside her own babe's womb ... but we're glad that Simi's suggestion of the abortion was seen to have merit ... all of that's happening tomorrow ... now watch Mum-zee and Neetu getting thrown out on their sorry behinds ... I'd tie on a bunch of cushions to soften the landing ... but maybe Omi will have been let out for a meal and will come to their rescue ... he's moving back to 12/24 I bet ... what a happy family ... 😕
I was wondering what happened to Anita after Anuj's departure for his many-days-upmteen-nights all-paid package deal at the Karol Bagh Jail ... but there she is ... in that park ... and approaching her in those leprechaun shoes that seem to be the raging fashion in India these days ... is ... Nakul? I cannot be sure ... could not see his white socks ... just the bottoms of those upturned toes ... 😕
I feel the beginnings of a massive headache ... maybe I should start taking those hallucinogenic drugs to be able to see KB in a more favorable light ...
