Today's Take - Sense and Sensibility

Manav tries his best to get some support to cajole Dadaji into forgiving Chhanchhan ... did he really think Ranjana would help?! Ranjana never helps anyone except herself! Ranjana refuses pointblank ... Sanjana is already suffering ... she's not planning to join the ranks.
Sanjana is not suffering too much though ... because her husband Manthan is actually helping her. Till Dadaji catches them both ... more punishments meted out.
He really is a schoolmaster!!! 😲

Manav getting more and more agitated, he is not going to let Chhanchhan stay out at night alone, not if he has anything to do with it! So in he goes, to co-opt next bhabhi ... this time, wiser choice - Kaumudi. Although she's scared, but she agrees to try.

So Kaumudi tries ... with the help of sheera ... this time sheera was made for a guest, not a dog!😆 Dadaji approves the sheera ... he does like Kaumudi after all ... but that doesn't mean he will forgive Chhanchhan.

Found it sweet that Mansi was sitting outside with Chhanchhan, while Jigu brought her sheera ... the whole family ... with one or two exceptions, of course 😉... are upset about her punishment and are trying to be with her.

Dadaji refuses Kaumudi, and Manav takes matters into his own hands. Cajoling doesn't work, so he addresses his Dadi in the urn ... Dada and pota have an interesting conversation via the ashes ... and finally Manav loses his cool, and marches off with Dadaji's blanket and pillow, and with dialogue of the day ... if my wife can't come in, I can go out ... I cannot stay without my wife! Like you!
Dadaji addresses Dadi again ... See his effrontery! Dadi apparently was a very sensible lady, because even her ashes speak sense ... he's like you! 😆

Babuji is very confident where Manav is going ... to Chhanchhan. He won't let her stay alone outside.
Babuji does know his son well. Seems Umaben does not.

Manav is learning fast ... Chhanchhan has to fulfill her duty of bahu, while he has to fulfill his duty of a husband. Another good dialogue ... and very true!
Of course Chhanchhan has not eaten anything the whole day, and of course neither has Manav. So they feed each other ... more good dialogues, very matter-of-fact but their sweetness was in the sheer matter-of-fact nature!
Why is it that NO meals get completed in any TV show?! Makes me feel hungry!

Dadaji continues his conversation with the Ashes ... they are apparently his own conscience, and he's battling it, already feeling bad about the punishment he meted out ... and since he is basically a nice guy, the rain and thunder makes him feel worse.

Manav wants CC to fake something, find a way and get inside the house anyhow ... Chhanchhan refuses pointblank, and tries to explain to Manav that it's just not the right thing to do, and will make things worse. She made a mistake and she'll take the punishment. And she knows Dadaji will forgive her eventually ... if she respects him, he will respect her.
Obviously after that dose of good sense, Dadaji couldn't do much else ... especially since his own grandson was calling him old, sanki etc ... and CC was defending him 😆
How far is the verandah from the house ... that Dadaji, Babuji and UB could hear every word? No matter - finally a conversation overheard that gave the correct picture! 😛
Was cute the way Dadaji tried to save face by couching his forgiveness in worry about his blanket 😆

Manav throws a mini tantrum because Dadaji wasn't worried about him but his blanket. Chhanchhan explains to him it was face-saving, buddhu!!! 😆

One cute ChhanMan scene to end the day ... Manav out of his sulks now that he's back in his bedroom with his beautiful biwi ...
Umaben always interrupts by asking if she's interrupting ... woman, newly married son and DIL in bedroom at night are not going to play Ludo! Yes, you ARE disturbing!
And Umaben has Chhanchhan's next task ready ... since CC emerged from the first one with flying colors, things need to step up ... so CC can make breakfast for Dadaji tomorrow.

One more SR notched up for ChanMan 😳

Bombshell precap .. will CC find out about Umaben's planning tomorrow? So soon?

Liked the fact that the whole household was behind CC especially Manav's father!!

Still wondering about the girl and how CC will handle the revelation in the pre cap!

Score kya hai? Anyone keeping count? Does Dadaji bending count?

😎

Brb!

Dadaji is kinda cute apart from his school mastery😆 but that he carried around his late wife's amakes you think hez a romantic at heart! Just like his grandson or even more, who knows 😉

Either way, CC and Dadaji will be fun to watch.

I felt like they r kind of reworking Manav's character to what is what before the end of the blinking days😛 or may be he was just worked up cause CC was banished to the BS gazebo. How many little pavilions does BS household have?😲

UB is a meanie! I mean the poor girl spent an entire day outside and now she wants her to wake up early and make all sorts of dishes for DDji. These ppl sure do feast a lot. May be that's why DDji asks everyone to take up yoga!

Did anyone else feel it was bordering on being too preachy when CC talks abt DDji with Manav as she tries to make him understand? May be it was just me. but that cud hv been kept shorter. I guess you do need to dramatize everything on TV...and all those ppl were eavesdropping so ...

And I'm warming up to Sanjana thesedays...I like her more than R even though she struggles with maths😆...she does not carry around all these issues like R does. So at times, you can see she genuinely reacts...and that's usually nicer than when R is around.

CC on to Sonali so quick??😲

Score? Was UB -10 CC 5 last epi.

UB -8 CC 4 ( too preachy today so CC loess a point, And no DDji bending does not count, yet!, UB makes some progress too for a change)

ps. If you think the scores don't make sense, d'oh! 🤣

Lets see the scenes I liked ... The manthan - sanjana cheating scene , adorable ...didn't think manthan would go out of way for his wife ...so cute. Then the scene between manav and dadaji on the bed , pulling his leg and speaking to urn dadiji was so cute . Manav is the total kiddo in the house but has his heart in the right place.

Dadaji's remorse and confusion as to what he should do , and speaking to urn dadiji was sweet ...i also

like his background music , its like an old western film music 😊 .

CC and manav scenes were sweet , especially the one in the bedroom ...liked the way she said " ladkiyon kaa dil jeetne ki practice ki hai yah ..."

UB upto her tricks again , now the breakfast challenge ! The precap ofcourse was a total shock ...did CC actually hear it and now what will happen ...

One thing that I didn't like in tday's episode was that the actors were hardly in the shots together , they were shot at different times ...technically felt a little disjointed , usually thats never been the case ...hopefully its a one off.

I guess the real drama would start from tomorrow .

Absolutely... our official scorekeeper!😛

I loved the way Babuji said very calmly ... Manav is going to Chhanchhan, he won't let her stay alone. Almost with pride - like, mera beta hai, I have taught him how to treat his wife.

Of course Babuji's wife isn't worth that much consideration

I think Sunara made a post - it is now established that Manthan and Sanjana have a love life. Or rather, they have a life ... Ranjana apparently doesn't! 😆

Dadaji bending counts ... score 1 to CC!!! Or maybe 5 ... that was a big one!! 😆
