True Review – Television This Week- Yamraj’s Climate Change Mission
by Piroj Wadia December 5 2015, 2:00 pm Estimated Reading Time: 1 min, 55 secsThe makers of Yam Hai Hum couldn?t have timed their current series of episodes better. The Paris Summit on Global Warming and climate change taking the front seat on the news channels; Suddenly, the earthlings are besieged by fireballs from the sky. Yamraj and Chitragupt are well aware that this is the wrath of Suryadev. Yamraj visits Suryadev his father and pleads not to ravage the earth and its denizens. It has been ordained by Tridev that mankind no longer deserves to live. That by day?s end the Planet and its occupants will be consumed by balls of fire. Yamraj doesn?t turn back and does battle with the might of Suryadev, who hurls fiery missiles ay his son. A wonderful sequence of CGI. Yam Hai Hum has sent out clear signals about debauchery, greed, dishonesty that has taken over man. Baldev Kapoor aka Bablu ke Papa is the prime focus. If we recall the beginning episodes indicate that the celestial twosome come down to earth to save someone in particular. And along come Baldev the conniving, smart talking insurance agent who cons people into buying policies unaware of the twist in clause! Now when mankind is on test for integrity, honesty and being human, Baldev is put on test. He finds a gold statue of Tridev and stashes it away. Bindiya?s pleas are cut off. But Yamraj and Chitragupt forcibly take Baldev to the police who are desperate to find the idol which was stolen from the museum. This is allegorical of what?s happening in world with stealing idols from temples to sell. Baldev too represents a mindset of materialism and lack of integrity. The ladies of Gokuldham Society were conned into parting with all their jewellery. Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma was visited by a con woman who caught all the women at home while the men and children were away. Claiming to be a perfume seller and giving each lady the reference of the other she sprayed them with a sleeping potion. She cleaned out all the cupboards and made off with the loot. Of course she and her partner are caught. It?s a warning to homemakers not to entertain strangers in their homes. The action to look forward to is Jaane Kya Hoga Rama Re.
