1. Maa tujhe salam - Kiran Singhania is your typical middle-class hatta katta woman-good mom,good wifey-the kind that will acceptyour lover with open hands,that will always choose her children over her husband. She doesn't look like she's the daughter of a huge business family.Nor does she look like she can have anything to do with Cobra.So my conspirator theories on those ground have no founding anymore. This woman,just doesn't fit the bill of 'Kiran Singhania'.For one I expected a known face.And another I expected somebody sophisticated and experienced. I cannot imagine her in a crucial scene.I mean she's the main hero of the Park road mystery.I wonder how she will look on the hospital bed and all.Well.The three younger versions of Bani,Pia and Rano were cute.Especially Rano.But even I was determined to get all emotional and even shed a few tears,the scene hardly touched me. Funny that Pia and Rano remember the same incident about their mother but our Bani Amma- Ah!This is a huge clue to a very basic part of her character.While Pia and Rano remember their mother feeding them,Amma remembers playing chhupa chhupi with her mom!Thabhi tho Bani aaj bhi wahi kar rahi hai aur bechare munne ka jeena haram kar rahi hai.Gosh Kiran!Aur kuch nahin khel sakthi thi kya?Hey!BTW,what is Mom Dixit feeding the unfortunate kids who are obviously camera conscious-noodle sopu?And gosh Kiran!Get the children to change their uniforms.Just observe Kiran's left canine teeth.It looks like a baby dracula's,who's just started teething.I still don't understand what was Kiran Dixit doing at Mumbai at that unearthly hour?And this entire scene looked forced.Dialogues were ridiculous.They wanted to introduce Kiran Dixit but this way?At least this proves that Bani and the other two are real sisters.
2. Bhoot bunglow - Gosh!Whoever would have thought the celebrated Park road mystery would be revealed inside a haunted house,haunted by Sandy Bhalu?As Bani gets down from the car, we are shown a creepy building,with 'Mukesh Mills' on it.Look at the angle that gives an appearance that the building is kind of jagged.Then the blowing wind and the even creepier insides. And a banshee in yellow screaming"Koi hai?Koi hai?"Typical horror mystery setting Well taken but hey!This is KS and not 'aahat'.And viwers always remembered this so the mehnat of the creative team went ty ty fuse. But I just wanted to slap Bani.Look at the guts of this woman.Going inside that godforsaken place.Dar nahin lagtha kya?Abey bhootji ake pakad le re ise;I give you her supari!
3. The return of the hairy ape - Alleluya!Looks like our Sandy Bhalu loves history.He's probably doing a research on the ascent of man.Thabhi tho kabhi hairy ape tho kabhi stone age man tho kabhi warrior man.Gosh!Again yesterday,the black noodles were all over his face and yuck!He gave an appearance of being a dirty jamadar.What the hell is doing there anyway?Wasn't he supposed to be out of town?I don't think he can be white gloves,can he?Ig he was,he would have told Bani everything right then inside Walia mansion,when she hounded him for the same.Unless,he is mental and prefers fancy methods for revealing a drab mystery in fancy settings.Now I am a MCP(male chauvinistic Pig) so I like my men to be men.I would expect them to wrap me in their strong arms and shield me from rain and sun.And even though they too are scared to death,must pretend that they are unaffected and when in adversity,take the first plunge forward.But here Bhalu was brainlessly running from one end to another and shrieking like a woman"Aaaaaaahhhhh".Even the shriek was so lacking in character and refinement and so LS.If it had been my munna,his shriek would have brought the whole world down.
4. Qatil- Gosh!As the shadow becomes more defined we are treated to that blessed man's blessed back.Bani screws her eyes and moves forward to see who that person is.Come now Amma,don't recognize your pati Parmeshwar?I don't blame you.No longer is he 'The Barrell'.Poor poor Munna.He has lost lot of weight. His sherwani was loosely flapping in the air and as Bani progresses towards him,her subconscious probably recognizing her manmeet,we see that magnificent back,those lovely hairs fluttering in the wind.Gosh!She places a hand on his shoulder-again what guts this woman has.I mean if this a potential murderer,dare you go and confront him?Mental I tell you.Munna kahaan fas gaya hai re?He turns back and both are shocked out of their skull."Bani tum yahan?".Areey ye kya hai bhai?Wasn't he supposed to follow Amma,after she received that phone call?Looks like he got a separate call and was asked to come to this pathetic Mukesh Mills.How come Munna didn't hear the gun shots?But gosh!He looked so awesome with the gun in his hand.Was that klueless who said Munna will be complete snooty aristocrat with a glare and a gun?Gosh!He made quite apicture but Amma's thinking is warped.She doesn't drool at his hotness but chooses to think him a killer!She steps back in horror that she cannot believe her husband was trying to kill Sandy just to keep the raaz away from her!Lady you are impossible!Does my munna look likee a common Bhalu killer to you?My munna only kills sensible ladies like us IFians.
5. Appointment with a bomb - Munna immediately tries to pacify her saying it's not the way she thinks but stupid female keeps going backwards till she is on top of the ticking machine.And wow!Munna understands machine language.He realizes it's a bomb and at the risk of being termed eccentric he explains the working of the bomb to his wife.Frankly I am with him.Bani ka koi bharosa nahin.She would have just stepped down.I almost wish she did.Stupid female.See what I said she gets in to trouble and drags my Munna too.Nautanki it was but I liked the way Munna kneels down and screams in horror"Bani.Don't move!"I liked the way he got all worked up but keeps reassuring the crackhead that he will save her no matter what.Look at Munna's expressions when he tries the cell and there is no reception.He is all flustered and I love it when the tosses the cell away in disgust.Arrey,you could have gone out and tried the cell or sent Amma's driver to get the bomb squad.Gosh!What I wouldn't do to have such a hot guy worrying so much for me.Gosh!Ram of course was super.
6. Kutte ki dum - That's our Madame Bani.Gosh woman!Your munna is as good as telling you through his actions that he loves you like crazy and all she can think of is give a valedictory address.Gosh!If Bani was a normal woman like us,she would rather say something like I love you Mr.Walia and if I survive I'd like June 19th to be repeated everyday or that I want to make babies with you or I am feeling blessed that I will taken off for heaven with you in my eyes-but nah!Amma opens her mouth and every word stinks of her desire to know that cursed raaz.Gosh!Is she a woman at all?I am surprised Munna was actually moved by her speech.A duffer couple.She worships his singing and he gets the strength to behave like a man after a dose of her weird speech.
7. Dhak dhak karne laga - That dhak dhak dubba or to be more polite,the ticking machine has to be one strong man.It remained intact even after such a heart rupturing,brain bleeding speech and munna's weight!Gosh!Join the army.Mr. dhak dhak dubba,we need strong ticking men like you!Munna all this while,miserable suddenly has decided upon his course of action.With determination shining on his face he walks towards Bani and gosh!I just loved the way they showed him walking up to Bani,his eyes,his pursed lips,his hair-just awesome!Bani stares at him confused and perhaps expecting him to spill the beans but Munna with a sweep of his hand pushes her off and she rolls and gosh got a wicked idea.I'd like to see her roll with Munna on a grassy plain!And she puts her hands on her ears expecting an explosion.But no such luck for you dear.Prachi's expression was good here.She turns back and sees her ardhanga has taken her place on the dhak dhak dubba.This was so funny.Kabhie main kabhie tu!Especially because Munna's expression.He looked so cute,sulking away.He looked like a pretty kid to me.She is shocked and asks him what is his intention?Munna I such a darling he says she won't die because he won't let her.Wow.Yahan pe bhi flirting!Arrey ye duffer couple last tak flirting se hi khush hain.Age tho bado bhai.At that godown Munna threatens her with never showing his afce again if she stumbles on the raaz now he says if she steps forward he will let the bomb go!Seriously it was tickling when he says not to waste time for he has only-he pauses,looks at the time on the tick tick dubba and says sirf char minute hain!Awwwwww,Munna looked so cute.Didn't it feel like he was on one of those bathroom scales?
8. The confession - Finally!BTW,Ram was just awesome yesterday. I have run out of superlatives.This man rocks.Inspite of the ludicrousness of the entire setup, he managed to stand apart.Right from the moment inside this bhoot bunglow to his confession,just note his fabulous expressions.Shock,disbelief,helplessness,guilt,determination ,love,fear.. ..He did it all!I'd like to know Munna's mind works.How does he expect to save his wife by taking her place on the ticky tick?Maybe his plan is that after he is through with the raaz,he will emotionally black-mail his wife to get out and save herself?I hope so or my munna will be more moronic than I could ever dream of and I wouldn't so like that.He says a man with death right in front of him cannot lie so she must trust him.Hmmm,talking to Bani walia you are,aren't you Munna?Munna finally musters courage to fulfill the airhead's curiosity.Pay attention to his expressions.Like he is on a bed of iron nails.Every word requires a huge effort. His eyes,his body language-excellent Ram!And I guess Ram's ill-health proved to be good for Munna and finally those lips are tortured to utter those words which are equal to death itself.This the price of marrying a curious cat. Poor Munna.Seven years ago,he had accidentally killed his saas.Gosh!How fate works-would he have ever thought that the dead woman's 13 year old daughter would one daybecome his wife and he would become the departed soul's damad?So funny to think Munna is Papa Dixit's damad!Well ignore the ticky tick then you will love Munna.He jusr rocked.Especially when he is confessing the raaz.

Today's Teaser
What did one dhak dhak dubba say to the other?đ
Raaga's last words
We are all very upset and disappointed that the raaz, which has become an open secret,but a raaz nevertheless was made in to a farce.The first time around,I was rolling on the ground.But when I saw the repeat,I wondered where was the reason to laugh?In fact the whole KS team needs to be applauded for their ingenuity and their commitment.First,Ram had that black-out.Then the rains.Then Ram fell sick again.According to an article,Ram was so ill that they had to send Munna on an urgent Pune trip and his condition so worse he couldn't even dub for that scene where he apprises his wife about his sudden flight-off.KS works on zero-bank episodes.Imagine their condition.For how long will they post-pone the raaz especially when they have announced that it will start getting out from 30th June?They made Saloni and Bani dance,Juggi sing.What else?Viewers were already getting impatient though they kept quiet probably because Ram was ill.So,they had to settle for a pathetic substitution.I have this feeling that this is not how they intended the raaz to come out.Some serious script changing has occurred.And kudos to Ram.He has hardly yet recovered from Malaria and he is already shooting.Agreed he gets paid for it but he can always do nakhres.Zee could have played astunt like Sony did with Jassi about the wedding fiasco,but they didn't.I applaud them for their courage. And look at the episode again and you will have to admit that it was not so bad after all.Too melodramatic and not ourusual KS class but hey!Look they kept the senti and the emotions intact.I thought it was very touching when Munna gets ready to die for Bani's sake and when Bani begs him to take her in to his confidence.Munna needs a huge jolt to express his true feelings. What greater shock than this?My heart went out to him when he said that he is glad that at least he will not have to see hatred in her eyes for him.He is happy to leave without having to go though that torture.Awwwwwww,so heart wrenching.there is now no doubt that Munna loves Bani like crazy.A dying man can never utter lies.So Munna will be confessing his love for her.I think I love the idea of Munna on the ticky tick,counting minutes confesses his undying love for his wife,his wife stares on speechless and the tick tick tick-horror and fear and pain and love and sorrow-wow!Terribly beautiful!I cannot imagine Munna dying.Or even bani for that matter.Though I would like to spank her silly.I'm wondering about sandy.Is he good or bad?Has he been bought?Or is he another victim?If somebody else is after his life,doesn't that mean that somebody else has a hand in it and this is not just a simple accident?Who is white gloves?I am getting really impatient about him.What does he want exactly?What will he gain by getting bani to hate Jai?Is his bomb a plant by Cobra?Is it fake?Will another superman come at the last hour and save Munna?But I just hope Munna professes his love for bani before anything happens.BTW is 4 minutes enough for him to spill out the raaz?I wish Bnai had cut her speech so there would have been more time.I wish she will tell him they will die together and hug him.I am hoping too much.But if it happens like MT says and Munna has an accident,I would love to watch Amma nursing him back to health and another June 19th if you please and chhota munna on his way.Gosh!Does this mean that we have to wait some more time for chhota munna?I would rather he comes after Jai and Bani are comfortable about their relationship.I wonder how bani is going to react today.She looked pretty shocked but hate Munna for an accident?i'm not sure.Well. Munna usually looks very hot.Yesterday,he looked so vulnerable.And his eyes-sparkling blue carbuncles as he is out with the raaz.He rocked.Or should I say ram rocked,ably supported by Prachi.See what I said that though the raaz is definitely going to be a downer,we can expect a first class performance from these two.And today,I am sure Ram is not going to disappoint us.What more do I need? I am especially glad that like I wished,they kept the unfolding of the raaz a private affair between JB.I would have hated this to come out in front of the whole Walia and Cobra family.Prrrrrrrr Pia and Rano will make munna's life hell.Andmunna's most shameful secret must be shared only by the love of his life.Awww this so touching and romantic.Cannot have everything in life.I am okay with yesterday's episode and as long as this brings JB closer and nothing fatal happens to me Munna,I am not complaining.Though I am wondering how they will take it from here.đ
That's it from me. Have a nice day dears.
