i like the establishment of these new characters, i could figure some from the pictures and the episode kinda clarified the rest ... but the set up has a very feel good factor ..
here is a family bound by its own traditions, beliefs, restrictions, regulations.. but doesnt stop loving the girl of the family with all their heart... the maasi is a stern saas who either yells or makes her bahu work, but she also softens and has a heart of understanding, concern and care when it comes to her own daughter like ... she doesnt think twice before sending her son off to find out the asli kaaran for her ukhda ukhda roop !! with their mannerisms one can say what they are now and what they can be in future ...
teji's wife is like any girl, sweet and clean hearted, dil ki baat zubaan pe type that means no harm, but given a chance would like to try her chance with trading her life with whatever she has now... but being the emotional person that she is, when the time comes she may not want to leave her family, her loved ones the daant and the kaam for anything else in the world, cos she has been taught and made to believe gussey main pyaar chupa hota hai .. she already did her bit today when she innocently asks Geet, if she had the same kinda life in her sasuraal.. and Geet doesnt react so much, but you know she was the princess of the khurana mansion!! constrast and realisation no.1 established...
lucky the happy go lucky as his game goes has been brought in to bring in the much needed light heartedness into the otherwise serious show ... though the character graph is not outta the world or innovative, he does manage to put a smile on your face, cos you cant hate a happy person .. everyone wants some laughter, everyone wants cheer, and everyone would love to have that bunch of happiness and positivity around them ... Lucky, luckily does that well...
The mention of another character was made today of Nandini..or whoever, who was shown to have gone to study at a friends place, meaning to say this family of geets is a more progressive family that allows and encourages girls to study as well.. beejis line that says, the marks dont reflect what they claim to study shows, she not only allows her to study, she expects this little girl to do well as well...
Teji is obviously a man with a tough exterior ... there is more to him than what we can see at the moment.. he gives you an insight into what a Punjabi man really would be like, if you havent interacted with many as yet .. he is an obedient sun, he taunts his wife with his one liners cos he knows he loves her anyway and can get away with it.. what is to be noted however, is that he is a man who is always alert ..the exchange of looks between biji and him, show they have an understanding of their own.. she obviously trusts him implicitly, and his respect for her also comes from the fact that he knows she can never be wrong ...when he sets out, he doesnt find the need to tell his wife what he is doin, he merely lets her know since its his duty .. once again, the treatment of the women in the household is established, while there is one woman who calls the shots, there is another that is told where she needs to be kept, and at some level she knows thats perhaps where she belongs as well .. and thats the effect Teji has on the people around him ..!
When he bumps into MSK he readily helps him, without a return in favor .. the line yeh punjab hai, shows the honor and pride inside the Maan, that could also be compared to the one Maan holds... as MAAN SINGH KHURANA ... aagey jaakey when the takkar happens, if it ever does ...it might be like the clash of the titans ..
Teji has misunderstood Maan and Geet, and has only learnt what he has heard...
While Geet had one family that didnt support her though she was right, here is another extension to her family thats ready to support her on hearsay .. well we cant say still.. we dont know who breaks the news to teji ..
Do we now see an over-protective family that will not let Maan reach Geet though he wants to ?
Will we have a YPD chori-chupke romance between the leads where they start meeting once again like lovers and in the process fall in love again?
Will Maan be forced to win her back true hero style, and this time convince Geets family though she is his wife?
Will we get to see more of mahi's as they yearn to be together but cant, since the family thinks Maan had hurt her?
Or will we see a total turn around where Maan and Teji become friends, presuming Teji hasnt seen Maans picture ( well its a show kuch bhi ho sakta hai), brings Maan home DDLJ style... Will Dev land up in the process... fall in love with Nandini or who ever has gone to study ?? what if dev also lands up, there is more confusion, Teji thinks Dev is Maan, but Dev falls in love with Nandini and there is a comedy of errors, confusion mixed with a whole lot of drama ... well, i am amused and already thinking, but is all of this only playing in my head ??? i dont know... but i liked it .. and when i talk too much or write too much, i guess it just reflects on my impression of the episode ..
that damn radio just had wad Maan wanted to say ... but they never played the song, so since he didnt, here is wad i have to dedicate from Maan to geet...
Maan to Geet
Bin tere ek pal bhi mujhse raha nahi jaye
yeh door door rehna ab saha nahi jaaye
teri pyar bhari baahon main hi niklega dum
tere naam se shuru, tere naam pe khatam
teri khushi se hai khushi tere gham se hai gham
tere naam se shuru tere naam pe khatam
mere pyar ki umar ho itni sanam!!!!!!!!!!!!!
