Apologies, ladies, seems everyone loved today's epi, and I rain on the parade 😛
1. It began on such a promising note, and I actually dared hope that just this once - KSR's character wouldn't snap back to OTT comedy. As she bids goodnight to Laxmi, he realizes he's hurt her with his words, and she's staying firm on staying away. That look they almost share before each closes their eyes for the night - that was my Rabba ve moment for the day, and I settled down with real anticipation for their thoughts on yesterday's B&B almost confession.
Fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice - yadda yadda.
2. I knew it. Dear Anj couldn't resist. What was that again about the road to hell being paved with good intentions? Anj really needs to start feeling some of the less pleasant aspects of pregnancy like nausea and frequent throwing up - anything to take her mind of her brother and his wife. Unfortunately, she has nothing better to do than give ill-timed advice to KSR ...
3. ...and we're back to the 100 ways of irritating ASR. At last count - we were up to 7 or 8, and if the soap is to meander on until the infernal cricket season ends (apparently sometime next millennium), then we're doomed to go through the entire list until I'm actually cheering for team ASR the next time he's being a complete jerk with her... (well - not quite, but close enough)
4. If cricket really is such a ratings killer, can I suggest something blasphemous? Put all the daily shows on hiatus until its done - and let everyone (especially the overworked cast and crew, and the slop-for-brains scriptwriters) take a much needed break. But if other shows are doing just fine and IPK is the only one taking a hit, then FIRE the damned scriptwriters and hire someone who isn't bent on committing hara-kiri on a once popular show.
BS and SI came through like troopers and made this palatable, 👏 ⭐️ 👏 but is this whiplash what we signed up for? To be reduced to watching IPK like it was a daily dose of medicine that one has to chug down?
5. Dear CV's, if I promise never to complain about his wardrobe again - can BS please have his two shiny polyester suits back? This was SO not what I meant when I asked for a wardrobe upgrade!! DON'T assassinate ASR's personality and sense of style just to provide a few cheap laughs.
Anyway.
This show is starting to look like the Dow Jones index today - crashing despite the leads' best efforts. I guess the yo-yo'ing of plot lines is really stuck in my craw, though we've managed to choke it down so many times before.
Someone needs to remind the CV's that scripts aren't supposed to be like a freaking Baskin Robbins menu. OTT comedy, romance, nafrat, drama, cricket season episodes - with a flavor of the day special. 😕
