Thanks doc for opening this thread.. Another blockbuster episode.. Total paisa vasool seeti-maar episode..
Raman's walk towards Romi with a hint of a smile on his face and casually asking Romi how the wedding was, and oh-so-casually asking Romi to get the 5 lakh from the office.. and trying to trap Romi into admitting the chori was super-awesome⭐️. And then his face contorting with anger and Romi-bash was good. The frustration knowing that his brother was the culprit, that appa was wrongly accused, that his brother went out of his way to bother his in-laws, was superbly enacted.. His expression showed all these emotions while delivering each and every one of those punches.. Waah.. RKB.. yeh hui na baat.. 👏
Raman is ready to hand Romiover to the police but is stopped by appa and amma.. who tell him that doing so would ruin not only Romi but also he has to think of his un-married sister whose name will be tarnished. This is a very honest-to-God way of thinking especially if there are unmarried girls in a family.. so it looked all very possible.. nothing glorified. Mr. Bhalla taking over and handing ROmi the final blow, to be treated as a stranger in his own house.. was a master stroke.. Loved how Raman talks to his boss, and gives him full permission to hand Romi over to the police.
The whole episode had these logical closures to the loop. (Am not saying that Romi should have been let off this easily without involving the police.. but the way they brought it out was in such a way that it could be accepted as a logical conclusion.)
And of course, great acting by Romi and Raman and everybody else.. Hats off guys. . .you rock as a team 👏
Innocent Ruhi and Shravu trying to ease Romi's pain was so touching. Romi notices Ishita watching the scene from the doorway and gives her a very apologetic look, shame-faced.
Romi jumps in feet first and then thinks..which is what he did again now.. he always ensures that he takes the easy way out and hopes not to get caught. And now the chickens have come home to roost.
Raman-Adi scene was something that we have been waiting for since ages.. and am glad that it happened. Like the no-nonsense approach and delivering some home-truths.. It was time Adi accepted the fact and not live in a bubble blown out -of-proportions by his selfish mom.
Shagun .. aur kya kahoon, which hasn't been told before.. She forgot to pick Adi from camp. but still is full of tevar😡There is a half-eyebrow- pulled- down-sorry to Adi and a quarter-eyerbrow-lift look when Raman is telling Adi some home-truths. Was surprised to see Adi walking off snivelling behind his mom without much of a protest.(and he looked so unconvincing while doing it..) These two are the weakest links when it comes to acting.
Ishra-scene at the end.. Raman is again praising Ishita's mothering .. not gonna comment on that.. but the scene was good.. and the hug... Ab aage bhi bado saaheb... bear hug se ab hum khush nahi hain. .thoda aur bhi hojaaye. .
It was a good wholesome episode, fast paced for sure. Looks like the new director is trying to stabilize the rocky boat the show was these past few days..
