Commode plays cupid
Ektaji
is back on telly, but without any band ya baja. Just as well I think,
because not only has she come back with the same bakwaas, this time she
has actually arrived with some stolen story ideas. For her Bandini,
Ektaji has simply copy-pasted the old-dulha-baby-bahu idea from Balika
Badhu and added Mihir to it β with a new name, a dhoti and a
pointy-pointy moonch. So Bandini is all about a poor, young girl Santok
marrying grumpy old diamond merchant Dharampratap Mahiyavanshi (DM),
followed by lots of tension, tears and punar-janam. In the episode I
watched, many people in fancy dresses had come for Santok and DM's
shaadi. While girls in ghagra-cholis and men in dhoti-kurtas were
eagerly waiting to eat and dance, at DM's house there was loud-loud
talk of bad sitare and good sitare. Suddenly, DM muttered something
about age and ego and nakshatra and the wedding was called off.I toh
got fully bored and moved to Ektaji's next Kitani Mohabbat Hai β this
is a story of love, paisa and ladies' toilets. Arjun Punj is a business
tycoon with lips that look like fresh-fresh bread-pakoras. He's always
shouting, never shaving and very angry that this one girl, Arohi, works
in his office. Anyway, Arohi comes to Arjun's office, all wet-wet. When
I say wet, I mean fully, totally, drip... drip... type of wet. She
walks into his office, dripping all over his carpet. He gets angry and
quickly takes out the AC remote and puts thandi-thandi hawa on full
blast. Arohi starts shivering. But because she is Ektaji's heroine, she
immediately begins to stare at the AC β kya pata, Balaji may suddenly
grant her supernatural powers to vaporise all air conditioners.
Instead, because of the AC's thandi-thandi hawa she feels very joor-se
su-su and gets up to go to the ladies'. But she lands up in a men's
toilet where many men in suits are in the middle of... you know...,
zips down and all. Arohi ko dekh kar they all feel shame-shame, looking
very dazed and cross. Anyway, Arohi does her thing and goes back to
Arjun's office. The AC's still on full blast, so she again feels su-su
and Arohi-Arjun ki su-su ki kahaani keeps moving in and out of rooms,
with and without commodes... Bechari Ektaji seems to have run out of
story ideas and has got a toilet pot to play cupid which brings her
lovers together.
Meanwhile, suspicious couch-aloo Dr Sridevi G. writes from
Secunderabad, "I have been wondering why no one has commented on
reality shows and their voting system? Why do these shows have judges
when all the decisions are taken through SMSes? Producers are hand in
glove with mobile network providers and it's all a ploy to generate
revenue. Voting and mounting mobile bills can elevate your blood
pressure, so stick to saas-bahu serials!"
