Day 4. Bahut saare jijis.
Not samjhing? I explainiya'ing.
1. Mommy!!!
Episode begins with Amma again pontificating about boatwa staying afloatwa when she gets an SOS call. Tis from bitiya - who's mourning the loss of ugly dupatta.
Waisey - I'm always amezed when sabun bitiyas act as though they are basically nude without a transparent, narrow strip of cloth that serves mainly to hide pimples on the sides of their necks. So unless they're mortified that future lau interest can now view said pimple in all its glory, that dupatta is essentially useless from a modesty angle.
Maafi - logic boatwa sailed into view. 😡 Please to wait while I go sink it.
Anyway. Amma is furious with bodyguards who couldn't even guard their own bodies from assault. After delivering a whack upside the head to bechara already addled guard , Amma turns her attention to more important things.
Like - who is the owner of the jacket that bitiya has donned, and where can she get one of those to cover up her own unfortunate outfit? You know - the one which has pallu exploding out of her chest like Ganga emerging from Shiva's locks (Hey - we found a Gangotri in this version of IPK as well!)
And while I'm at it - who answers the phoon by saying Har Har Mahadev? Obviously, a simple hello is no longer fashionable in desi sabuns.
2. Bitiya ki behenas
Note to bitiya's middle behena. Green eye shadow wonly suits Irish goblins. Not, you know - actual humans. Even when they be dressed like B-grade carnival rejects.
Bitiya has two behenas, but of whom are complete opposites of her calm, placid self - yet love their jiji very much. Not yakeening? Gul has evidence to provide it,
The three sisters indulge in a little friendly horseplay to show off their close bond, which includes lots of angrezi sprinked into the conversation (if the director's intent is to counteract those dated/hideous outfits, they failed miserably). The bonding session also includes making some dish that calls for putting pasta into a paratha. Or at least - that's what it looked like on my thoda blurry screen. The "East Meets West" cooking session is followed by a pillow mangling one - evidence that none of them suffer from allergies (unlike those of us who started sneezing just watching it on TV), a song and dance rudely interrupted by the silent yet imposing arrival of Amma.
Here I gotta take a minute to acknowledge Amma's considerable thespian skills and diction. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ She's the best actor on this show by a country MILE, and her dialog enunciation/delivery has been absolute perfection. Bitwa ought to take lessons from her - the mumbling that drove us crazy five years ago is still around in spades. 😡
3. I'M BAAACK
No - I'm not channeling the Terminator (aap bhi na).
Bitwa has returned to his old home to reminisce in black and white. Wonly problem - his old home now be bitiya's current home. Cue dramatic dialog about he now being carved from the same stone as the house (we get it already - he has no softer side).
Since bitiya's phaimily got promotion to head priest after his parents were falsely implicated and lynched - he plans to take revenge against them by booking face-to-face appointment for them with the Lord. And he has an ally in the house - a diminutive servant girl who is already practicing to be a future dartboard by drawing targets on her forehead and chin. She informs bitwa nervously that Amma and her behenas be upstairs conferring over a Very-Suspicious-Box.
Looked like an ordinary jewelry box to me, but hey - plot aage badhaane ka padi.
4. Whodunit?
So in yesterday's Take 5 - I galti se assumed that the cloth missive was the handiwork of bitwa. Turns out it wasn't (lesson learned - if you're going to write about something, you should pay attention to it while watching, instead of trying to multi-task)
Bitwa heads upstairs to find out the Raaz Of The Box. Amma and Co helpfully keep their backs turned to the door so bitwa can sneak up, and she even holds the message up so bitwa can snap a photo with his phoon.
At this point - bitwa demonstrates that he really isn't very good at all this skulking around, which doesn't bode well for his future revenge plans. Matlab, when you enter a stranger's house by stealth - WOULDN"T STEP NUMBER ONE BE TO PUT THE EFFING PHOON ON SILENT MODE?
The loud click when he takes his photo is like a bomb going off - which leads to all three women pivoting like ballet dancers, only a lot less gracefully. Fade screen - baaki kal.
5. Precap
More mumbling and word chewing by bitwa, but they are back outside at the festival. He swipes bitiya's purse, and demands a terrace meeting in return.
😲😲
MAYDAY, MAYDAY!! Signal to bitiya - go watch previous Gul sabuns, ladki. Terrace rendezvous always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS end badly for bitiyas - regardless of sabun or scenario. 😕
One more day before the week ends, and I'm already exhausted with the non-stop drama. Bitiya Gul has been keeping the show at soprano pitch for 4 days now, and its time to bring the tension down from the rafters. So please to have the writer stop snorting Red Bull, and switch to decaf instead. Even Mahadev may thank you for it.
For baaki kushaling and mangaling - miltey hain shaam ko - Rabba Ve! 🥳
