Ep 4. The Husband

Wakaalat From Home is a hilarious Indian comedy-drama web series that has been created by Rohan Sippy and produced by Anuvab Pal. The show follows the story of two lawyers, Sujin (Sumeet Vyas) and Radhika (Nidhi Singh) who are married to each other and are adjusting to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the fourth episode of the show titled "The Husband," the two lawyers are once again called upon to settle a case, but this time there is a twist.

The episode begins with Sujin and Radhika getting ready to start their day at work, which includes settling the dispute of a couple who are filing for a divorce. The couple in question has been married for several years but are now at a point where they want to end their marriage due to irreconcilable differences. Things get complicated when the husband, played by Gopal Dutt, decides to represent himself in the case.

Sujin and Radhika are both surprised and amused by this turn of events as they have never seen a husband represent himself in a divorce case before. They try to explain to him the complexities of the legal system and why it would be in his best interest to hire a lawyer, but he is adamant. He insists that he knows more about the law than anyone else and that he can handle his own case.

The husband's confidence is immediately shattered as soon as he enters the virtual courtroom. He is unable to answer even the simplest of questions posed to him by the judge, and it quickly becomes apparent that he is completely out of his depth. The situation is further complicated when the wife's lawyer tries to use the husband's lack of legal knowledge against him, which leads to some comical exchanges between the two lawyers.

As the case progresses, Sujin and Radhika humorously play the role of mediator and try to help the couple reconcile their differences. They try to counsel them and show them the importance of communication in a marriage, but ultimately, the couple decides to go ahead with the divorce.

The episode ends on a poignant note, with Sujin and Radhika reflecting on the state of marriages in the world today. They discuss how easy it has become for people to give up on their marriages and how important it is to work on relationships. The conversation is a reminder that marriages require effort from both parties, and that it is not always easy to make things work.

Overall, the fourth episode of Wakaalat From Home is entertaining, insightful, and thought-provoking. It explores the fragility of relationships and the importance of communication, while also managing to be laugh-out-loud funny. The performances from the cast, particularly Gopal Dutt as the bumbling and clueless husband, are outstanding, and the writing is engaging and clever. The show continues to be a delightful watch, and it is definitely worth checking out for anyone who loves a good comedy-drama.
