while I am sure the director was enjoying a romantic walk with his sweetheart at marine drive while he asked his actors to do whatever.
First up, Gopal makes his entry. Bear in mind his exit too was as fast as his entry. The way he looks at Nandini, as if Tarzan has just arrived from the jungle and is seeing a woman for the first time. He mumbles something stupid to Nandini's father and immediately rotates his head 180 degrees towards Nandini. This happens for some time till Nandini scampers away to make tea or Gopal sprains his neck, I am not sure what happened. In between the conversation, Nandini's father suddenly feels that more respect should be given to "Jamai Raja" and decides to start addressing him as "aap" instead of "tum". Somebody please spank the director and the dialog writer. Seriously if Gopal was a nobody you don't need to show him in the first place.
Next up, if you cannot spend more money on art direction seriously, apply for a loan from World Bank. Whats up with Nandini walking around her home like a zombie with an empty steel glass when Abhishek's mother has come to ask for her hand. Why not break some actual glass with some water in it. Actual glass has some more dramatic effect. Dude, I can give the director much better advice on dramatization once he returns back from his romantic walk.
Another really funny thing. They were kind of showing the news covering Alka's campaigning and they run those news tickers at the bottom of the screen. All of it understandably had terrible spelling mistakes but the funniest part was one of the news item in the ticker said "Dhoond Legi Manzil Hamein nominated for the Oscars". NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Really, cmon, the Oscar statue will crumble to dust. I am not sure if it was sarcasm, if it was, then my first kudos to the director and the crew. HA HA HA HA. Good one. I had a very satisfying laugh while NNT was sadly ruminating on the mistaken sex change operation that God performed on his son and daughter.
Lastly the less said about Abhishek the better. His acting is like "Dhoond Legi Acting Mujhe". Man, he should go back to whatever he was doing before. Else if one has to continue with him since nobody is volunteering, please get him high on drugs before shots. Suddenly he dresses up in all formals and lands in Nandini's terrace, God knows how, where Nandini in the middle of the night is collecting clothes from the clothes line (another superb directorial feat). Once he is there, he hams to his heart's content while poor Nandini had a look on her face which said "God, please make this end". She finally wiggles out of the situation by saying she is already engaged and looked mighty happy at that (Damn I was hoping to date her. Is there any way we can tweak the story to have me get into the picture? I am way better than this "I See Woman" Gopal guy and I earn way way more than a medical representative).
It seems the only thing folks in this forum like, is the "electric" (I would say its about 1.5V DC electricity, the same you get out of one AA cell) romance between Alka and Chander who have nothing better to do but prance around really dusty furniture from a bygone era in a 200 year old ramshackle house. So if nothing works, have Alka and Chander dance around to Bollywood tunes for the entire episode and save money on the rest of the cast. Sheeeesh.
