Hukum’s Farm and Comedic Struggles
Hukum visits his farm, accompanied by a clueless worker who bungles basic tasks. The worker’s incompetence—misusing tools and misunderstanding instructions—provides comic relief. Hukum’s frustration peaks as he mutters, “Even digging one hole all day seems too much for you!” The scene underscores the generational gap between traditional agrarian values and urban inexperience, while showcasing Hukum’s patience (or lack thereof).

Hanumant’s Humiliation
Vasudha humiliates Hanumant, demanding he wear a soggy uniform to “teach him a lesson.” Her cruelty—“Go wear your wet clothes now!”—exposes her manipulative nature.

The scene ends ominously as Vasudha declares, “I have all day to trouble Hanuman Ji,” signaling escalating strife.
Cliffhanger and Unresolved Tensions
