Today's episode was so good. The team hit it out of the ball park. I had a little doubt on how they are going to show Imlie donning the singer dress in the party and I was worried maybe it would be a logic ka funda but nope the creative team really outdid themselves.
Bechari Imlie she was thinking of telling the truth for so long but she never got the chance to do it. Remember - a stitch in time saves nine more. She should have told the truth to Agastya and her majboori when she had a chance. She could have told him when they got the investors appreciating her food. Agastya was happy and if Imlie had accepted that she lied because her nephew was sick and she wanted this job very much, I feel Agastya would have helped her out. He was a fair person. Imlie lost the golden opportunity to tell the truth herself.
Agastya - he feels cheated and lied too and he can't stand that. I feel part of his anger is because Imlie very conveniently made fool of him and his ego and his prejudice against poor people can not accept it. I like that now he knows that the girl whose voice was mesmerizing to him in the beginning that he sat down to listen to her song was none other than Imlie. Yup and Imlie too knows that Agastya was the one who threw money on her and insulted her the very first time.
And kudos to the logical and creative team. The Johari seth being the kind hearted man that he is, allowed Imlie to sing for the function as he knows that she is a good singer. I liked the logic that Agastya infact made the singer not come as he was damn sure that Imlie would come out in her original bar singer avatar once the singer does not come. Agastya is shrewd that way and as he predicted Imlie was there to sing for the function.
A few other things I totally loved were - Mami and Bulbul commenting that they are taking the dulhan away when it was actually Imlie who was going down the stairs. So yes Mami's word is going to be true and it would be Imlie who would become the dulhan and not Nyonika.
And then the scene where Imlie draws the dupatta on herself to make a ghoongat - Kudos to the cinematography. It is like this is the last time she is going to hide herself under the veil and it is very symbolic that she herself removes the dupatta in presence of Agastya. Maybe indicating that with Agastya she doesn't need to hide herself.
Gul's team is very good at drawing parallels in their stories and I would absolutely love to see Agastya himself encouraging Imlie to give a stage performance and proudly decking his wife up and getting her to the stage if the show survives till that time.
