Recap / Simple Samosa Episode 13 Cultural Programme

Go To

Samosa, Dhokla, and Jalebi learn that Vada is going to play his violin at the Cultural Programme. However, they notice that Vada's violin music sounds awful and try to persuade him not to perform at the event.


This episode contains the following tropes:

  • Dreadful Musician: The episode reveals that Vada is not very good at playing the violin and uses this as a major plot point.
  • Here We Go Again!: The episode ends with Vada once again bothering the rest of Samosa's gang by accident - this time, by playing a tuba and blasting them out of the way.
  • Offscreen Crash: Vada's music at one point causes a car crash that isn't seen on-screen, but can be heard with plenty of car alarms going off afterwards.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Samosa and friends concoct a plan that involves Dhokla being disguised as Vada and "performing" in his place with a fake violin. The disguise is just a box with Vada's face and sides painted on it; the audience doesn't notice and assumes it's actually Vada.
  • Produce Pelting: Dhokla, while disguised as Vada, "plays" competently-produced violin music that the audience at the Stadium Dome dislikes anyway, resulting in them pelting him with tomatoes and banana peels. When the actual Vada takes to the stage, one of the audience members, thinking it's the same person who played the competent music, asks if he wants to be pelted with more tomatoes. In the first English dub, he gives him the option of being pelted with eggs instead.
  • Public Domain Soundtrack: Throughout the episode, Vada plays an off-key version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on his violin.
  • Screen Shake: The screen starts to shake at a couple intervals while Vada is playing his violin.
  • Snowball Lie: The gang tries to convince Vada not to play at the Cultural Programme, but without actually telling him his violin music sounds bad so as not to hurt his feelings. Near the end of the episode, Vada finds out about Dhokla pretending to be him, gets angry at his friends since he didn't need any help from them, and proceeds to play his own music in front of the audience... who end up legitimately liking it.
  • Sweat Drop: Dhokla is nervous to perform in front of the big crowd at the Stadium Dome and produces a sweat drop.
