I fail to understand why people who don't want their phone to ring in an important situation don't just turn it off. Is it the fault of the person calling them?? Karthik, you idiot, next time just switch your phone off...if only to save us poor audience members from having to sit through an excruciating
Life Partner repeat. Except, I guess Nuts is not as screechy as Genelia's character was in that scene...which is not to downplay the annoyance factor of this scene.
That was SUCH an annoying scene π€’, I fast-forwarded most of it when I realized where the scene was heading to. I think Genelia was better in the movie, she was dumb but atleast not a psychopath like Nutz!
Anyway, moving on to the more important stuff...the random evil news editor - no, wait...that's not it. The random Karthik voice double and Akash-Nuts, yes that's what I wanted to talk about. No, maybe it was the super-fast talking, spiky-haired fool begging a girl to take him back. π Ok, so THIS was the scene
that the article talked about, that Nutz' ex-bf will come back into her
life, wanting to win her back?! I thought it would be something more
serious and a track by itself, but here he is literally begging her like
an idiot π! Bas ho gaya? Track khatam?! π If yes, thank God for that π! The jealousy-invoking nutty Nuts begging/tricking a guy into kissing her? The slooow motion moving towards the melding of lips, the idiotic fight, the THIRD slap of the show (man, Nuts should be careful of marrying this guy - that's twice he's slapped her π€’). Hell, this is one heck of an abusive relationship. Ah, screw it - I couldn't give a damn about any of this. Nuts should be careful of marrying Karthik? Shouldnt it be the other way around? Actually, can you blame him for slapping a spoilt brat like Nutz? I mean seriously,
her behavior is such that if her mom or Ram would have done this when
she was younger, she wouldnt have turned out to be such a spoilt brat!
So I personally feel she has earned every slap she received from Karthik π! Especially after what she did today, she totally deserved it. I mean, she is engaged to Karthik, and
put up a show in front of Karthik as if she was about to kiss her EX-BF π€’! Ok, she was pretending, but that wasnt how it seemed to Karthik before he slapped her. So apart from this, Karthik doesnt come across as someone who would resort to serious domestic violence, and if ever Nutz gets nice laafas from him after marriage, I would consider it to be worthy of some back patting ππ. π
Why does Priya keep calling Ram Mr Perfect? Neither has he nor has anyone else ever termed him perfect...toh where is this chip on her shoulder coming from? π Even her haddi-less father knows he has faults... I think she calls him Mr. Perfect sarcastically, as he is PERCEIVED to be perfect by her entire family and the rest of the world in general, whereas she herself doesnt think so about him. So she is too irritated with everyone's "PERFECT" perception about him, that is making her call him "Mr. Perfect" sarcastically π!
Okay, let me just start off by saying that if this scene has taken place week or so ago, I might have enjoyed it more than I did. But then last week was such a step backwards that today's scene was actually a step forwards (when it reality it brought us right back to the place we were after the original restaurant scene). Anyway, to avoid confusing myself further, I'll move on to some thoughts about this scene:
- HOW cute was Ram when he sat down with this terrified look on his face, playing with his fingers?! π³π Awww, so sweet - see, this is what Priya has done to a confident man. Made him too afraid/angry to even look at her... Ram is such a cutie yaar, he reminds me of a cute teddybear everytime he comes on screen π! Dont you just feel like pulling his cheeks π³?! π
- How hilarious were they arguing about how much alcohol there was in a pina colada π€£π€£π€£ and Ram going on about pineapples, much like Priya went on about irrigation in the first restaurant meeting π€£ Ya, loved the way he addressed her as "Tofel teacher", as she not only seemed to be quite ignorant about the drink, but also tried to make a "smart" comment on it, which went phooos π!
- On that note, though - Ram should really ask for his money back; as that was NOT a pina colada, but plain pineapple juice. Trust me, I know π
- I loved Ram's over-the-top flailing every time he got angry: "Will you please let me FINISH?!" π€£ and the whole "one good idea every four years" thing π€£ Same here, it was really hilarious, and Priya's reactions to those comments was also funny...she became silent and had a straight face as she dint know what to say π! I dont think she can beat him in humor π!
- I really enjoyed Ram playing about with the table settings every time Priya would open her mouth, and then sitting back, folding his hands and saying "please continue" in this school-teacher/psychiatrist mellow tone, as if he was hanging off her every word π€£ π€£ π€£ π€£ Did he purposely do that to irritate her, or was it one of his irritating habits? I also liked his comment when she tells him "mere paas ek plan hain..." to which he says "aapne tho planning me Phd li rakhi hain na" referring back to the fight they had on Thursday where he had accused her of planning that kaand π!
- The idea of the two of them pretending to be friends until Nuts-Karthik's wedding would, of course, bring them in close proximity every so often, giving them a chance to like each other for real. And with the added museebat of the reporters capturing Ram's "proposal" π€£ π€£ π€£ π€£ (how hilarious did they look running into the room like losers?), this is only one more opportunity for them to come closer. I don't understand how Priya's ring came off, though - didn't see her playing with it. Ya, the scene dint look quite authentic, as how did her ring fall off simply like that, as if it was some hanky or something π?! But I loved Ram's expression when the press comes inside suddenly, and he is standing on his knees holding the ring π! They showed a close-up shot of his surprised reaction, which made me laugh π!
Before I forget, I really liked (once again) Ayesha in the first scene. Every one went on trying to insult/shame/guilt Priya into marriage - your ages are similar, I don't want people to say bad things about you, why would you listen to me, I am not your mother? etc etc. Only Ayesha said, "He is the best choice for you". No qualifiers - just those words. Okay so the line about her life not being so good was a little ...dude, you've only lost a lottery you didn't actually play; the world as you know it hasn't come to an end. I think its just a temporary low phase for her, she is still in a disappointed and grieving phase cos of her engagement being broken, which she will definitely come out of after few days...but as of now, guess we will have to see her "devadasini" mode for some more time π! its But I liked her prompting Priya to go and see him at least once, and Priya accepting only for her, and Ayesha saying someone has to be Priya after she leaves. It's nice to know that Priya is her role model, even though sometimes she doesn't deserve to be.
I also loved Ram telling Vikram about his "nightmare" of Priya bringing him the tea in the mornings π€£ π€£ π€£ π€£ π€£ That was too cool π! I love the way Ram cracks these dialogues, he definitely has a natural flair for comedy π!
Point to be noted - Shipra saying that "I am not your mother". Did she say it in one of this fits of anger where you say just about anything, or was it true? Judging by the non reactions from everyone, I'm guessing the former. Even I noticed that point, but since we dint see a TYPICAL Ektaish reaction of the entire family suddenly breaking into silence, with the camera focusing on each member's reaction, and each expression being shown in slow motion, even I guess its the former π.
The episode was so-so. I liked the restaurant scene but not as much as I might have enjoyed it this time last week; Thursday's episode still has left a mark on me and I feel very strongly that Priya should apologise about that. After all, we don't want to scar Ram for life π€£ And as you can tell from the above points, most of the things I loved were instigated by Ram. You know something, Ram has always had this subtlety even when he is insulting Priya, that more than being offensive, it sounds more hilarious π! He called her irritating, intolerable, and lot of things, but all you feel like doing is laughing, and to some extent, even empathizing with him π! I love Sakshi to death, but Priya's outburst needs to be dealt with in a proper manner.
What did you all think? Prefer this restaurant scene or the first one? Also, more importantly, a poll - do you think we are going to get a good week, or a psycho week? Post your predictions now - the winner gets a sig made by me! π€£ π€£ π€£ Weather report says, with Nutz in it, ya a psycho week probably, but more of Ram would bring in slight showers of pleasant rain. π So when do I get my sig π?!
