Meherbaano, kadardaano... dil sambhal ke baitho. Dekhe aaj madaari Tapu aur uske bandaro ki tolli kya kya kartab dikhaati hai!!😊
(Ladies and gentlemen! Pls hold onto your seats! Let's see what all antics Tapu, the monkey show-woman, and her troupe of monkeys have in store for us today!!)
Highlights:-
- Vansh's condition has deteriorated and he is stuck to his "nasheri"(addict) dialogue
- Gunnu seeks Tapu's help to let Icha know about this
- Icha and Jogi go to Bundela circus
- Icha calms down Vansh, giving him quiet reassurances and making him take the meds
- Vansh has acted superbly, as a violent and v-much-in-love person
- The circus viewers (the Bundela oldies, servant and Jogi) are astounded by Icha's success
- Dadaji wants Icha as Vansh's bride and Jogi refuses since he believes that Icha loves Veer (what a laugh!!😕)
In Thakur house, Tapu is in her room, wearing a nice pink suit, reflecting on Jogi telling her that no matter what, he will not get his daughter married to an addict and that Icha and Vansh will never get married. Tapu gets a call and as I predicted earlier, its Gunnu asking her what to do next! God... me next on CVs team!! Anyways, Gunnu tells her that Vansh's condition has got worse and he is not listening to anyone. She asks her if she can talk to Icha (huh?? Talk to Jogi, talk to Damin... why r u calling Taps? Maybe coz u know that Icha listens to only 1 person in this universe...Tapu maate!!😡)
Tapu smiles maliciously and starts her nautanki that definitely, why not. She will straight away make Icha talk to her. Chudail Tapu is happy, while Gunnu glances back at a rambling Vansh.
Jogi is pacing his study when Divya comes in. She is about to approach Jogi when Icha (in a printed suit and green dupatta) comes running in with pret aatma (aka Tapu) following her. Icha is talking urgently and saying that she'll have to go to Vansh's place immediately. Damini materializes from thin air and wants to stop her but Icha Teresa says that right now, he needs her (oye...did u ever consider Veer needing you all the time and how u rebuffed him just becoz he aint no addict and a normal person, unfortunately in love with u???😡😡) and requests Ammo not to stop her. (Aisa ho sakta hai, that Tapu is in a scene and gets no dialogue?😆) Tapu chips in that Mai (how is she your mai anymore??🤢) aka Gunnu had called as well saying that Vansh is in a bad state. Icha says that in anger an addict can do anything, even commit suicide. She can't leave anyone alone in this condition and she will have to go. She further gives clarification that she has seen Paras in similar conditions and begs Jogi to let her go. Jogi can't believe what Icha is saying. Damini and Divya exchange glances while Tapu quietly says please Papa (u said it so quietly that no one even noticed...how about just being quiet next time onwards, Tapu?😉) Jogi tells Icha that she will not go alone, but he will accompany her as well. She nods. He tells Damini not to worry and takes Icha with him. Tapu thinks, "kya baat hai! Saari kaynaath is wakt humaari madad kar rahi hai" (Reason why I didn't translate that... kaynaath reminded me of SRK in Om Shanti Om and I almost 🤢😵 when I heard it from this chudail's mouth!)
In Bundela house, Gunnu, Dj, Ummed and the servant are trying to control a frenzied Vansh when Jogi and Icha walk in. They are tooooo shocked to see Vansh's condition (if I had a daughter, I'd run away as fast as I could if I saw this!) They look around (when Jogi's eyes first started looking around, I almost thought that he was looking for something to hit on Vansh's head!!😆) trying to take in the messed up room and the screaming Vansh being held by 4 people. (Sorry ppl, I cudnt figure out what Vansh was saying- too incoherent for my ears!) Icha moves forward but Jogi holds her hand with a look of utter disbelief and concern. Icha says "Please papa", puts her hand on top of his and nods to make him understand that she can deal with this violent Vansh. She then goes up to Vansh and screams his name. Vansh hears her voice, stops struggling and screaming. He is still angry. Everyone takes a step back while Jogi is watching all this. Vansh turns around and Icha keeps repeating his name. Vansh stares and then flicks his hand and goes and sits in his fav place... floor. A relatively calm Vansh says, "Mai, I can see Icha everywhere" (Man...this guy has acted so well!!👏 Dunno why but the resigned way he said it, made my heart go out to him!🤗) No one knows what to say, except Icha of course (what a change!! ) Icha calmly tells him that she..Icha, has come to meet him and goes and sits beside him and puts one hand on his shoulder. (Some really nice Sanskrit chant starts; methinks it cud be a Lakshmi chant) Vansh turns and is surprised to see that she aint no illusion. He takes her hand in his while the duo are having an eyelock. Jogi is looking at their hands held together and is aghast. Camera pans the other Bundela buddhhas' faces.
Icha looks up at Jogi and takes her hand away. She asks Vansh what happened? Did he get angry at his teacherji? He shakes his head. (His stare would have embarrassed a hard core romantic like me as well...but that another story!😳😳) Icha continues that you got soo weak? No, Vansh can never get so feeble. His words would encourage other patients in the rehab centre. Vansh softly says "Andhera", Darkness, only darkness. Icha says, where is the darkness? Look around, its bright all around. She says put your hand on your heart (she takes his hand and puts it next to his heart) and say... "All Izz Well!!" 😆... no, but quite close. She says, say that I am fine, nothing can happen to me. She sweetly requests him to repeat it. He does. She continues giving him reassurance and her dialogue for him to repeat, "that pain is my friend...like Paras. Do friends spell trouble? (you so hav no idea!!!🤪) No, rite? (Vansh shakes his head) So tell pain that it is your best friend." Vansh repeats best friend.(The way Vansh is staring and repeating random words, I don't think he has heard a single word that Icha is saying, he is just too mermerised!!😍) Icha continues smilingly, "Vansh's heart is very strong. It can never be broken, it can face any pain, repeat" Vansh says "I.." Icha stops him and says not I but Vansh. Vansh repeats the words with more calm and a slight smile. Icha says now you will take the medicines rite? He nods his head. She looks at Gunnu, who quickly gets the medicines and a gaping Vansh takes the medicine. Everyone, including Jogi are too amazed by all this. Jogi is 🥺 as he looks around. He sees Icha's portrait being done by Vansh. Vansh takes hold of Icha's hand and says hopefully, you won't leave me? Don't you trust me? Icha looks at Jogi, then back at Vansh and says that she trusts him completely. Vansh says that when she comes, the darkness goes away. She is the light, his life... if she goes away then the darkenss will come back. He requests her not to leave him and go. He says stay close to me, with me. (Gosh!!sabke saamne propose kar raha hai!!!😳😳)
Jogi dejectedly walks out. Icha pulls her hand away and says that now he should rest. Bundela clan follow Jogi to the lobby. Daddaji thanks Jogi for the huge favour as he didn't expect him(Jogi) to return to their place after the way he had left earlier. Icha is putting the cover on Vansh and is about to walk out when he holds her hand. She turns around and sees the love and hope in his eyes. She doesn't know what to do, smiles and sits down.
Daddaji is saying that he can see that their son (make that plural and remember bigamy has been part of history since ages!!🤣) is in dire need of his daughter. Jogi requests him not to fold hands in front of him as he(Dadaji) is the elderly. Icha is consciously looking outwards, while Vansh is busy gazing. Jogi asks for forgiveness as he thinks that Vansh doesn't need a wife but a nurse. (How true😉... but Bundelas are hurt nonetheless!) Jogi continues that a person who can't shoulder his own responsibility, how will he bear the burden of a relationship? Dadaji is persistent. Jogi says that I am equally worried about my daughter. I know what both Vansh and Icha want and he is sure that Icha is in love with Veer(me rolling my eyes... Jogi!! Seems u r the only one so sure even now!!😆) He is adamant that Icha can come to this house, but not as Vansh's bride. Vansh has slept and Icha gets up. Jogi sees her and walks out. Icha folds her hands and leaves. Bundelas are in thought, Gunnu looking at everyone and then looks at a sleeping Vansh from outside.
Precap:-
Jogi telling Divya that he sympathises with that boy(Vansh) but he cannot flow in that emotion and get his daughter married to him. Icha is hearing this. Nani is telling Tapu that her game is being spoilt. Tapu is saying that for her and Veer to become one, it is extremely important that Icha gets married to Vansh. Nani says that now she will only have to do something so that even her dad can't stop it. Tapu asks what. Nani says that till now you played the game with your heart, now the rest of the game, I'll play with my head.
My 2 cents: 🥱 , even though Vansh acted well, and Icha had more dialogues than past 2 months. Still the story is progressing... not looking forward to tolerating more of Nani in coming episodes! 😭 Veer kaha ho...at least phone karne ke bahane screen par aao!!
