*** Good Post Leo. I agree with everything you've said (even the parts that make me a bit sad, but I know are going to happen, like Vandu contemplating abortion and Adi's deceptive reforming)
Here's what I thought:
I was telling Ninja earlier today. Everyone is in a happy hangover mood from the SPA winning spree of YHM. So even if the episode is crap today, and has 100 bloopers, I dont think anyone will mind.
BUT... this episode was like that second bowl of kheer your mom offers to you, on those rare occasions when you have been a good kid 😊
I am delirious... OK let me bring some order to my reply now :)
First... I have started loving Aly !!! the office scene and the Sarika-Romi scenes were quite good. I dont mind that pairing !!! Leo, do you know if they hired her back on the show ? and for how long?
Second... So Vandu IS pregnant. I saw a faint smile on her face. I am pretty sure now that she wont abort the child. But they may show her thinking seriously about it. And that would be an entirely realistic tough spot to be in. I am sure, pretty soon we will see Shruti and Pankaj in full form!
Third... Bala-Adi scene... I told you once, that Adi needs to stop going to the acting classes, he's not lacking in acting skills, he's just being coached badly. He was SO MUCH better today, and like I said , I agree with your prediction that we think he's turning good, but suddenly he'll know about Bala-Ishita's connection and then
And finally... the scene of the day. It was hilarious. I dont think we have ever seen Raman so lost, confused & helpless before. The kids were ADORABLE, Mihir's escape was funny and Raman was at his 'common-man' best.
Now, knowing our CVs, I am sure that scene is meant to symbolise something. I am pretty sure they are not hinting at him becoming a father again.
But they could be hinting at him having to take care of his children (i am including Adi too) on his own. His mom took care of Adi before the separation, she took care of Ruhi after the divorce, and then Ishita has been looking after her. The build-up we;ve had in the last few episodes was focussed so much around the 'father' in Raman. This scene could have been the last piece of that character progression! (I havent thought this through, so could be completely off-base here)
But of-course, this being Raman, the scene had to be hilarious too. The CEO of the year cannot take care of a few kids. He couldnt scare them, couldn't entertain them with a story, he even forgot about one of them, and finally when nothing worked, he just told his daughter to trouble Shravan back... and the BRIBE :D LOL the perks of having a rich uncle!!!
and Leo, remember I told you earlier today about the comfort level they shared when they went to eat after the party??? Thats exactly what I felt today in 2 scenes. First when she is on the phone and says she will come back, but he says that he can do it himself. The next one was the one where she starts laughing. The nuance I saw there was, she watched Pammi leave first and then laughed. she didnt laugh in front of an outsider. That is such a typical thing to do too...
PRECAP - i am ignoring the accident-mystery till they tell me directly who is responsible. I am tired of the guessing game now :(
