00:04It all began on a peaceful Sunday morning in Gokul Dham society.
00:10Birds were chirping, Daya was doing her signature Hema, Mataji, warm-up, and Bhide was sanitizing
00:17the society gate for the 18th time that day.
00:21Just then, Abdul wheeled in a large mystery box near the society gate.
00:25Being Gokul Dham, logic took a backseat and curiosity won.
00:46The society opened the box and found dozens of shiny golden shampoo bottles, labeled only.
00:52Zing Zang Shampoo experienced the magic.
00:57Looks fancy, said Babita.
01:00Free ka maal toh try karna banta hai, declared Jethalal.
01:05Champak Chacha raised a warning eyebrow.
01:08Beeta, bina jane kuch bhi mat lagao.
01:12Kya pata chemical ho?
01:14But did Jethalal listen?
01:17Of course not.
01:18Day 1, the colourful catastrophe begins.
01:23The next morning, Jethalal walked into Gada Electronics with a spring in his step and a new fragrance in his hair.
01:31Bagha
01:32Toh kaise lag raha hun?
01:35He beamed.
01:36Bagha froze.
01:39Bapuji ki kasam.
01:41Setji, aap ka baal.
01:44Green ho gaya.
01:45Jethalal ran to the mirror and let out a scream loud enough to wake Poptalal from a nightmare.
01:53His thick black mane had turned bright neon green, glowing like a traffic signal.
01:59In Gokul Dham, he tried to hide under a cap, but Daya spotted him.
02:04Aare Jethal ji.
02:07Aap ke baal toh palak paneer ban gaya.
02:10Day 2, more victims join.
02:13Soon, victims of the Zing Zang shampoo began appearing across Gokul Dham like Holi had arrived early.
02:21Years curls vanished, replaced with silky straight hair that made him look like a shampoo ad model from the 90s.
02:28He was furious.
02:31Babita, this is scientific sabotage.
02:35Sodhi's mustache disappeared completely, leaving him baby-faced and unrecognizable.
02:42Oh hey!
02:44Main toh bina mooch ke biscuit lag raha hun.
02:46Bheede's scalp turned pink, and he blamed Tappu Sena immediately.
02:53Yeh sab Tappu ka ka kaand hai.
02:56Yeh shampoo main ne usse karne ko mana kia tha.
03:00Investigation mode.
03:01Tappu Sena to the rescue.
03:04Tappu Sena got into detective mode with goggles, notebooks, and walkie-talkies, which were actually just spoons.
03:12Sonu, we need to find out where the shampoo came from.
03:18Goli, or we'll all look like traffic lights.
03:22After some sniffing around, and accidentally shampooing the society cat, they tracked down a clue, a tiny QR code on the bottle.
03:32Scanning it led to, a prank product page from a viral marketing agency.
03:36Turns out, Zing Zang shampoo was an April Fool's product launched early to gain social media buzz.
03:45Temporary hair effects, magical results.
03:49Magical, sure.
03:51Just not in the way anyone wanted.
03:54Day 3, the shampoo showdown.
03:58The next morning, an emergency meeting was held at the clubhouse.
04:02Jethalal wore a hoodie, Iyer had a wig, and Sodhi wore sunglasses with a fake mustache stuck on with favey quick.
04:12Champak Chacha scolded everyone.
04:14Main pehle hii bola tha.
04:17Bina soch samaj ke koi bhi cheese sa pe mat lagao.
04:20Pope Talal, still untouched, he never uses shampoo, just soap and hopes, proudly smirked, journalism ke liye dimaag chahye, shampoo nahi.
04:33Everyone groan.
04:34Finally, Bhide made a scientific hair rinse with hibiscus, amla, and 17 other things from his wife's kitchen and handed it to all affected members.
04:46Within 2 days, everyone's hair returned to normal, except Jethalal's, which now had a permanent green tinge in sunlight.
04:55Bhide, tumhara shampoo ka formula hair dye ban gaya kya, he grumbled.
05:01Epilogue, one month later.
05:04Gokul Dham now has an official society rule.
05:08No unknown shampoo or cosmetic to be used without Bapuji's approval and Bhide's science lecture.
05:16Zing Zang Shampoo.
05:18Ban for life.
05:20But the story still lives on.
05:23Every time someone shampoos, there are whispers.
05:27Jethaji.
05:29Zing Zang lagaye.
05:31And Jethalal runs to hide under a towel.
