Mili and Dhruv, the beloved couple from the Indian web series Little Things, return for season 4 with the episode "What's This Party For?"
The season has seen the couple navigate new challenges and embrace changes in their lives, from moving in together to establishing their careers in Mumbai. In this episode, Mili and Dhruv face another reality of growing older and establishing themselves in their respective careers - attending parties they'd rather not be at, just to network and make connections.
As the episode opens, we see Mili heading to a party with Dhruv. Mili is reluctant to go, but Dhruv tells her it's important to attend and make connections, especially since they're both still establishing themselves professionally.
At the party, Mili and Dhruv are both uncomfortable - they don't know many people and the atmosphere is stuffy and awkward. To make things worse, Mili runs into an old acquaintance who is rude to her. Feeling embarrassed, Mili retreats to the bar while Dhruv tries to make small talk with the party's host.
As they mingle and try to make connections, Mili and Dhruv's dynamic as a couple becomes apparent. Mili is more reserved and introspective, while Dhruv is more outgoing and social. They both help each other throughout the evening, with Mili encouraging Dhruv to make connections and Dhruv comforting Mili after her encounter with the rude acquaintance.
Their struggles come to a head when they're pulled into a group photo at the event. Mili doesn't want to pose, feeling self-conscious and out of place. Dhruv insists, thinking it will make them look good to the other guests. When the group photo doesn't turn out as well as Dhruv had hoped, he's frustrated - but Mili comforts him and reminds him that their relationship is more important than the opinions of others.
Throughout the episode, we see the couple's love for each other shine through. They may be uncomfortable at the party, but they're comfortable with each other. They support each other's dreams and challenges, and their love deepens as they navigate the complexities of adult life together. By the end of the episode, Mili and Dhruv have strengthened not only their connection as a couple, but as individuals in their respective careers and social circles.
"What's This Party For?" is a charming and relatable episode that explores the challenges and rewards of growing older and establishing oneself in the world. Through Mili and Dhruv's experiences, we see that the journey can be awkward and uncomfortable - but with the love and support of a significant other, anything is possible. Fans of Little Things will enjoy this episode, which offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of one of India's most beloved fictional couples.
