This wasn't one of those amazing episodes from start to finish, but some of was outstanding. Krishna praying to Hanuman was really cute to watch. It was sincere enough, and you felt that he is praying to God to rid his family of a stranger in his abode so his heart was in the right place. Whereas when Shakti called up someone to arrange for the untimely demise of Abhimanyu, his heart was clearly not in the right place. We know he wanted that all along, but now he wants to punish him for getting him smacked right in front of the entire family. (The scene of which by the way, I watched again today just to see him slapped.) SS knows how dangerous his sons are, especially the older one as he raised them both. So I trust he knows how to deal with them. At least he should show a little respect for the mother of his other son Shakuntala who basically gave him all of her life and all he has given is money and protection. Arushi and Chandu going to the electricity was cute. I know chandu went off on the board and how pointless it is going to them, but he also was trying to do the right thing. Arushi got her point across to them, but more than that she was lucky that the guy behind the desk knew her father and was an alum of the university. I really loved how Chandu supported her, even after she was so brusque with him. Shows how classy he is.
Back to the match, the way all the villagers are tensed about it is so funny. They take it like a real amusement. The two looked ready to go today when they showed up and started prepping for the match. Of course, low-class Shakti had to go to Abhimanyu, a man he just confessed to trying to kill, to know he is going to lose to his brother. Um ok, Shakti. And just how many books have you written on the subject of wrestling? Or on anything? I bet he would say he doesn't need knowledge to be able to predict the outcome. But Shakti doesn't know everything. He underestimated his father, and he continues to do so.
Krishna taking his father's blessings was expected. Abhimanyu's taking them from his mom was expected. His taking them from SS was unexpected, and one of the best moments in today's episode. You can see in Abhimanyu's expression that he did it genuinely, and not out of any spite towards his brother. And when SS gave him his blessing, it was just as genuine. 👏👏 He wished them both happiness in front of everyone, and I am proud that he did. It showed a side of his character we rarely see and I was moved. SS knows that if Abhimanyu wins, he will stay in the haveli and people will resent it and yet he did it anyway. Whether or not the lawyer actually does pull it off is not the point so much as a father blessed both of his sons. As for Krishna's objection, it was invalid. Yes, I can understand how SS blessing his enemy would be a problem for him. But Abhimanyu went to SS as a son goes to his father and he did it from his heart. There was no sarcasm in his words, or any ulterior motive. And after what Shakti did to him, and after he brought Prats to the hospital I don't see why he should have such a big issue with it. If SS hasn't given his blessing, I would have been really disappointed.
As for Abhimanyu's coach slipping some powder into his milk, it was disgusting and totally underhanded. If Abhimanyu is meant to win, he will do it anyway. but I felt like yelling at the tube and saying, "don't drink it!, please don't drink that milk!" Plus, it shows that Shakti has less confidence in his brother's ability and he has to stoop to any level to win.
I obviously would like a certain someone to win, but even if he doesn't, I don't want Krishna to win through foul play. What I basically would like is a fair match and I hope the cvs can give it to us.
