This
is of course a huge to-do with lots of people standing around in elegant clothes
while music that bears more than a passing resemblance to the theme from
Iron Chef
blares at us. I also don't think this is as big a show as we were led to
believe, since it looks like there are only nine competitors. Simran's also had
her hair curled for some of her outfits, and straightened for others. As the
show progresses we see various shots of the audience. Sameer and his gang are
there looking excited, while Ajit scowls and shifts in his seat every time
Simran takes a lap across the stage.
This goes on for a bit longer than necessary, until we finally reach the
announcement of the winner. Of course it's Simran, and the crowd goes wild. Ajit
leaps to his feet looking rather pissed off, and adds a deep bass hit to the
soundtrack to emphasize this. Up on stage, Tanya politely golf claps while
Simran gets her crown.
Back
at the Khurana house, Tanya comes pounding up the steps still wearing her formal
gown from the pageant. She frantically searches her room while exciting dramatic
music plays. She finds the handgun she was looking for and points it in the
general direction of herself. Ajit runs into the room and begins grappling with
her to get the gun. Hilariously, we hear two shots go off as we realize she's
got a Ventriloquist Pistol. I didn't think they still made those. Finally Ajit
gets Tanya more or less settled down. He realizes that he now has a promise to
keep to Simran, and vows to deliver on his threats.
We cut to the four happy people speeding through the night in an expensive
car at the peak of their happiness. We learn they are going to their farmhouse
in Khandala, and there they shall party. First things first, we've got to get
rid of the staff. The guys send the ladies into the house to "freshen up," while
they go and give the groundskeeper the night off. The gals overhear this going
on, and realize that the boys might be feeling a little frisky tonight. Well
they are certainly up to the challenge, and entertain the men with a song! "Mehki
Mehki" rolls in and gives us another chance to reaffirm our beliefs that Simran
is not as gifted a dancer as she is a model. Kudos to the director though, he
does separate the ladies for this song so Simran doesn't look quite as bad as
she does when compared to Kajal, who is actually quite a good dancer.
About midway through the song, we start seeing shots of Ajit in his car
heading towards the house. How he knows where they are or that they even own a
farmhouse in this part of town is not important, so there's no sense worrying about it.
Once
the song is over, the gals tell the fellas that they knew all along what their
plans were, and they're not intending to play along. They send the guys out to
get some food while they get out of their fancy clothes. Simran hears the
doorbell and goes to answer it, thinking it's the guys back from their food run
already. Why they'd ring the doorbell on a house they have keys to is not
addressed. To no one's surprise, it's actually Ajit Khurana at the door, and
he's mad. He tells Simran that he only adheres to one principle - if he makes a
promise, he keeps it. He reminds Simran that he told her not to compete, and
that there would be dire consequences if she did.
Simran pleads with him to not kill her, but he gets started on the slapping
pretty quickly. Simran does a few poorly executed stunts to knock over some
breakables and continues to beg for her life. Ajit tells her that it won't hurt
much, but Simran isn't willing to find out if that's true. She calls out for
Kajal who somehow missed all the vases shattering and furniture being turned
over. She runs downstairs to find Simran entertaining their guest. Kajal runs
over to them and starts raining blows upon the most effective spot - his
shoulder. (sigh) Ajit knocks her off of him with an elbow and goes back to
strangling Simran. This cycle repeats itself until Kajal wises up and breaks a
thick looking vase over Ajit's head, causing quite a bloody mess.
