Full Jhatka…Summary -
Zoya asks Sandip and Urmi whether she is a bad actress or not. Urmi says she's a good actress… Sandip initially doesn't reply. Zoya tells Urmi that she is saying these sweet words because she is her best friend and she didn't want her to feel bad. Sandip explains to her with an example saying that people should understand the difference between 'junoon' (obsession) and talent. Zoya was obsessed with her getting the role but she actually didn't have the talent… Sandip tells her that she has the talent of watching the shows and she should continue doing what she is good at… but then again she should give the acting a chance so that she is sure what she can do and what she couldn't do.
Zoya finally understands and with a little persuasion thereafter she agrees to face the camera the next day. Urmi encourages her saying that irrespective of whether she gets the role or not… for her she will remain the 'Mughal Queen'.
Rahul goes back home (seems to be returning from the shooting set) with his portfolio and CD in his hand… he looks at them and caresses them with melancholic emotions!
Zeenat and Bashir along with the whole of Colonel Gunj wish Zoya all the best in their own style. Sandip and Urmi take Zoya to the show set in a black car (seems like Mr. Lovely was so lovely to have send a car for the would be super star 😉)
They reach the set and find Rahul to be begging the security man again for letting him go inside. Zoya asks Rahul to go inside with her… Lovely welcomes Zoya and the people with her. Anurag, the director, comes and introduces himself… then he asks her to get ready for the audition. Zoya finds herself being made-up by a make-up artist, saw the cameras being handled, the lighting, the screens and the set being set in a perfect way to start the shooting. She feels very nervous. When the director says 'action' … she becomes cold and is unable to utter a word. The director encourages her saying that this was very normal for a newcomer (wow! The director was too good!!)… he gives her another couple of chances but Zoya wasn't able to perform… she starts crying and says that she cannot do this. Sandip asks the director to give Zoya one last chance but still Zoya goes black and delivers her dialogs like a cracked record!! The director, if he would have had hair he would have torn all of them… (no wonder he is bald!!). He asks Lovely to call the last actress, Megha (who had been playing this role of Kaveri)… no matter how! Lovely gets to work to sweet talk Megha to join the show again!
Zoya is dejected; Sandip, Rahul and Urmi console her.
They return back home (in the same car) and Zoya asks them what they would tell the people of Colonel Gunj who had more belief in her than they had in themselves. Urmi says that the way she understood she was sure the people would also understand. The whole locality gathers around the car asking how the shooting went. Before Zoya could say anything… Rahul said that Zoya's acting was too good… he makes up a wonderful story making Zoya the heroine of a novel of sacrifice saying that even though the producer gave Zoya the signing amount the last heroine returned begging for the role and Zoya sacrificed the role saying that Megha needed it more than she did, hence, not leaving room for anybody else to say anything in this matter. The whole locality praised Zoya's sacrifice and blessed her father for giving such great principles to his daughter for which Bashir says that the principles that Zoya has imbibed has been given by the whole locality. Bashir says that he will call Mushtaq and stop him from going to Imtiaz to talk about Zoya's marriage as he wanted to give Zoya another chance so that she could give the exam and pass. Zoya feels very happy. Rahul leaves the group of praising-in-awe people and is going towards his house when Zoya goes to him and says thanks for all he did for her. Rahul says that he learnt a valuable lesson from her that day and that was he should keep trying because there is nothing in this world that can stop him from trying. Even though Zoya failed the main thing she showed was trying… and that's what he wanted to do. He apologizes for his behavior and Zoya hugs him saying that he has a right to do what he did and says thanks again.
Next morning –
Hari brings Urmi and Zoya in front of Bashir's tailoring shop and presents Rahul's new look… of a Daku!!! Initially both laugh but later Urmi says that Rahul should try starting small and then one day when he is established as an actor he can get big roles! (Ahem Ahem… this seems familiar… right guys? 😉). After Zoya and Urmi go, starts taking pics through his camera in various poses.
An old lady (actress… the old lady who played Bebe of Jassi in JJKN) gets down a rickshaw and asks how much money she should pay. The rickshaw puller says Rs. 10/- Aai (as she is called) opens her money bag and tries to find a 10 rupee note to give to the rickshaw puller but she is not able to see well through her eyes. Just then Sukha comes and offers to help her. He gives the rickshaw puller the money. Just then he sees Jugle taking those pics of the Daku! He leaves Aai and goes to Jugle.
He seizes the camera from Jugle and says that he was a nincompoop and he was playing the fool in the road and taking pics of somebody who would never be able to pay for the pics. Jugle is sad… but poor boy what could her do!
Jugle comes back to Aai who has finished taking her vegetables and she is walking towards her house. They discuss about her son who hasn't returned for so many years from the battlefield. Sukha compliments Aai saying that Nitya (her son) was the one who made Colonel Gunj proud of his achievements. Aai says that even though he did all these great things her eyes are tired of looking out for him as he hadn't returned for so long!
A post man delivers a parcel to Mahua which had come from London (Mouli had sent fashion magazines for her). Nitya's wife who's house is beside the Ghosh's looks out of her window… Mahua feels sorry for her.
(Blooper Alert: The kid actor playing Chiku is changed from what we saw in the Kal ka Sitara episode! This actor seems much older than the one we saw last!!)Chiku and Sandip, on the bike, talking about all the kiddish questions like why is the sea blue and why are fishes of different colors (seems like Sandip brought Chiku from school). Chiku runs towards his house… Sandip realizes he forgot to give him Aai's specs which he had taken to repair.
Chiku at home with his child-like talk gets a lot of pamper from his Dadi (that's Aai, who wants to be called Aaji by him!) and order from his mother who wants him to wash his hands and face and then eat something before starting to play. But little Chiku wants to play… Aai sweetly explains to him that he will play after he washes up and eats and takes him inside to help him. his mother comes out and finds that Chiku had left his bag on the floor. She picks it up lecturing Chiku on keeping-things-at-its-right-places (which went into deaf ears I'm sure!). just then Sandip comes and gives her Aai's specs. She asks how much the man took. Sandip says that the shopkeeper didn't take anything from him. she goes inside and Aai comes out asking Sandip what brought him there. Sandip gives Aai her specs telling her that she should show her eyes to a specialist as her power seems to be increasing really fast. Aai just makes some lame excuse. Her daughter-in-law comes from inside and hands him some money saying that he should give it to the specs wala. Aai wears the new specs and even though initially she was able to see, gradually even with her specs her eyesight becomes weak. But she doesn't say anything to them!
At night, Aai is trying to read Nitya's letter… Chiku sitting beside asks her why she reads the same letters again and again. Aai smartly says that Chiku had never read the letters. She hands the letter to Chiku and Chiku reads it (Blooper alert here: Initially Chiku reads by breaking each and every syllable and just after the first 2 words he is able to read the letter very fluently… never thought that possible by such a young kid!!). While Chiku reads the letter Aai reminisces all the sentences in the letter she remembers… in fact it seemed she remembered the whole letter by heart. Chiku's mother is emotionally agitated seeing this. She takes the letter softly and asks Chiku to go and study. When Chiku protests, Aai says the letter was written to his mother that's why she couldn't let him read it. Chiku is distraught … he says Papa writes for Ma, for Dadi but he never writes to Chiku as if he didn't even know that he had a son!! (Ye dialog kuch hazam nahi hui!!). Aai and Chiku's Ma feel helpless!!
Next morning –
Mahua is showing Urmi and Zoya the magazines Mouli had sent while the 4 deewane were playing football. The ball enters Mahua's house… Hari comes to take it. Mahua goes inside to get tea for Urmi and Zoya. Rahul goals and he happily tell Urmi that he had goaled. Mushtaq wants to hog in the limelight too. He says we are in the same team! Urmi and Zoya roll their eyes, smile and go back to their magazines. The 4 guys start playing again. Rahul's one kick brings the ball down on Urmi hitting her head badly and causing Mahua's tray to drop breaking all the expensive crockery. Urmi and Zoya sympathize with Mahua and curse the guys who had broken such expensive crockery which Mahua had carefully kept all these years. Even Mahua gets angry and she curses them! She tells them that she is going to tell Saurabh when he comes back from work. Urmi and Zoya tell Mahua not to give the football back. Mahua clutches the football saying adamantly that she will never return the ball to them. The 4 guys feel helpless.
Just then Chiku and Aai come out of their house to go somewhere. Aai had forgotten her specs. She goes inside again. Mahua looks at Chiku with so much love! The 4 guys see this and they have an idea. They call Chiku … bribe him to get the ball back. Chiku with his cute childish ways gets the ball from Mahua, who becomes completely yielding in front of Chiku (or I think kids in general). Urmi and Zoya have a look of defiance and regret!! The 4 guys rejoice. Chiku asks for his chocolate, Rahul gives him money. Chiku happily goes back to where he was standing. Aai comes out and they are about to come down those stairs when Chiku wants to play football… he runs to catch the ball leaving his Dadi who tries to get hold of Chiku but in this process slips and falls on the ground… he specs broken and she loses consciousness!!!
Whoa!! Some episode…. Loved it!!
Thanx for everything
Luv
Kanak
