Mindless entertainment

27 Oct

MJHT becoming totally mindless ... might as well give up on expecting any semblance of the Samrat Gunjan of S2 back as it seems the CV's have decided to forget about that experiment completely. They've forgotten a lot about the S1 SG as well ... wonder if those at least will come back.

So first scene with gang, where Sam tells all Uday's story ... and Gunji gets a bit flustered about the SG love story ... and then recovers. Does she ... or the cv's ... even remember why she is supposed to be so angry with Samrat in the first place? Or is she just fighting because she thinks her precious Di is fighting too. Solidarity!!!
Anyway, gang agree to the charade. and the scene was quite cute, with Sam's story-telling and Uday's expressions - also Gunji's and Mayank's reactions and Rohan's support ... Rohan is shaping up well as support. And Uday is FAR better at comedy than Nups ... the scene was funny without being OTT.
Makeover - cute, though dragged.
First gang with Rathore scene ... cute, a bit silly ... even the SG bit which was too OTT and contrived for my liking. Redeemed a bit by Gunji relapsing into normal Gunji every now and then from sugary sweet 'swami' types ... is Rathore really so brainless as to not suspect anything? Appears so.

Kitchen scene - ahh, much more like the SG I know. Sam flirting, Gunji gettiing flustered, but holding her own, dabbing the atta on him and darting away with the slightest of smiles ... then yanking him back when he shouts, hand over his mouth, and the eyelock ... and THANK GOD, screaming nups-clone gone, and it's the real Gunji back ... as she backs away with the slightest hint of a smile in her eyes, gives him the cloth to wipe his face, then as he doesn't finish the job, she points it out a little hesitantly ... Sam of course maroes chance pe dance and she does wipe it for him, as they stare at each other all the while ... another dab by Sam is too much, though, and she just pats him away ... and the smile is back in her eyes, as she shakes her head slightly ... this man will never change!

Last scene - MN, Nups as bai - suits her. She shoud play these kind of roles only, her dialogue delivery and OTT nautanki is eminently suited for them.
And I realised why the episode was good ... hardly any Nups ... confined to one skippable MN scene only. What's the betting that bewada and bai scene will be OTT fultoo nautanki?!!!

link to part 3 - the only scene worth a rewatch - part 3

Naveen's link with entire SG scene SG pretend to be married

DMG ending on BB court ... blech ... REALLY, Priya? Was that the best you could do?! New show seems to be yet another chirpy brainless girl ... SGP getting a bit silly too, with the Sonali track ... CCBM seemed promising.
