Once again at a variance, continuing our ongoing debate Adi😛...This intermingling, right from the outfields of Laxmiganj, is weird and unnatural- no matter what hogwash of a filial amicability is pounded here in the storyline...Would not even a relatively more open urban people desire a discrete space or distance amongst fresh ex divorcees and remarried couple, no matter a what level of cordiality they might have attained? To see, a crackling bonhomie, outdoing each other, in such a conservative corner of India, is too much. So for me, both, the extended gesture and its acceptance, remain farcical. Innate goodness of one or meek acceptance of other has not much to offer as a base to a tenable scenario.The act of Shiv...1. was to show J the mirror...draw a parallel to his reaction to a situation..vis a vis A.2. tell him strernly and subtly., that his outlook towards the prayaschith need not be at the expense of his family's happiness.3. With His running away from home., just when A had secured a future alternate to him., - He can run away from that delicate situation...but he can never run away from himself and if he wills., that will haunt him wherever he is.The delicacy in the intermingling between a current and an Ex - the most probable cause is the 'insecurity' that may be felt on the current's part.Here Shiv has come over and above that feeling...He has utmost faith & trust on his partner and so., could have no ill feeling towards the Ex.Per me., it has nothing to do with urbane and a rural setting..but with psyche and mindset.So., the amicability and cordiality that is shown., is not a surprise.Both S & J have been mature in arriving at this tenable scenario.As for 'more than happy' and custom abiding elders, though other time quite seasoned and canny veterans, here, under a compelling drive to avail themselves rapturous, immaculate 'companies', they fain disregard, 'karma' inflicted, inevitable heart burns of their famously beaten 'weakling' son. With constant upholding of hospitality to even 'an alternatively expected', adopted 'daughter' and her second husband (of course, under banding weight of current debts). This continued (not former) superseding of an 'actual' by an adopted is as much unreal as the degree of their current(not former) enthusiasm. First time, even veteran Surekhaji, appeared mechanical and soapy in her empty giggles.I will not comment on the seeminly mechanical expressions of the veteran actor., as I have not noticed in such depth...But all I can say is for Singhs., Shiv is now an 'Adopted Son' and Anandi - an almost 'Biological Daughter'.So adi, here I am, skeptical, and 'out of tune'. May I be?😆
