Shreya, you beat me to it.
Great points. I was just about to reply to Anjali regarding Raghvendra and why he beat up that waiter.
I despise Raghvendra. His wife and daughter and even mother want to indulge in his obsessiveness and allow him to control their lives. Okay, fine. But here he just did something after which I will only hope the worst for him.
He beat up that waiter because the waiter was an easy target. All throughout he was talking about how he won't leave Nikumbh, but what happened was that he took it out on the poor, hapless waiter. Raghvendra was boiling at this point and yes, the waiter did not hear him calling earlier and that may have factored in as well.
Raghvendra wouldn't have dared to beat up Nikumbh there at that party. He couldn't. And he KNEW it. Effing coward and snake. Why didn't he make a scene with Nikumbh? He is calculating enough to know it would be disastrous. But he could easily transfer it all out on the waiter with no problems. And he KNEW it. So he beat up the waiter. Nikumbh, it's not that he wouldn't touch Nikumbh, but he wouldn't do it publicly.
It did bother me a bit that the people kept on dancing. Well not that people kept on doing it, that's normal for people to ignore such a thing. But Azam didn't notice what was going on. That was not a large group, and the music wasn't blasting. They should've all noticed it because people would've heard the commotion, people closest to the fight would notice, then the others next to those people also realize something is up, etc etc.
And if I really am honest, I was frustrated at Yamini too. Yamini was blamed for not speaking up for Nikumbh? Naaa, at least there it was verbal and not much of a big deal. if I were in her position, or rather I saw my father doing something so repulsive, I would lose all respect for him.
If Raghvendra wants to be controlling of his daughter, fine. Wrong, yes. But fine. But what did to that waiter...he deserves no sympathy or understanding. He doesn't deserve Yamini's respect.
In a way I can't help but blame Yamini here too. Logically I know I shouldn't because of her characterization. As well as the fact that it's difficult for any girl to stop such a violent reaction or fight. I didn't blame her for not speaking up for Nikumbh, but here I just wanted her to raise her voice, speak up instead of being so meek and grab onto her father. Yes, I know it's too much for her character. But if Narrator pointed out Yamini was wrong for not speaking up for Nikumbh, well this is far, far, far worse. Nothing was going to happen to Nikumbh. That waiter though, he was thrashed for no reason and probably lost a job, and who knows what else.
