Hey fizzles :) It is perhaps the first time, but I completely disagree.
For one, Armaan knows that his family is full of lunatics, perhaps this is the reason why he broke away from them in the first place. He hasn't met his brother in ages, it's an unavoidable fact. How can he trust his brother after so many years (so presumed), and so easily go back to live in the house he probably hasn't even seen in a long time ?
A system's flaws can only be rectified from the inside, but they can be seen better from the outside. Armaan, having been away from his family for a long time, knows it's flaws and shortcomings. He knows that they treat women like shit, he knows that for them, a woman is nothing more than child-birth machine, who is useless if she can't concieve.
Inspite of all of this, where does the 'moral obligation' arise from ? His first and foremost obligation right now is to help Bharti out. Period. He can if he wants to, perhaps he will have to face alot of flak from his family for that, but love is the other name for pain, right ? Even if he believes that Bharti is Omkar's wife, even if he considers himself only to be her devar, even if he wants to keep their relationship formal and restrictive, he should help her out for the simple reason that she does not want to be in that house, she is not obligated to, and certainly not obligated to live with junglee people.
It is said that you are equally a criminal if you let a crime unfold before your eyes and do nothing. Bharti is being raped infront of his eyes. Not physically, but mentally. And it needs to be stopped, regardless of whatever turmoil he maybe going through, because as a human being, the only moral obligation he bears is towards humanity, and if he doesn't stop this, then he no better or superior to Omkaar or his family members.
As evident, Omkaar is capable of treating Bharti in the worst way possible, yet Armaan doesn't mind it because apparently Omkaar 'loves' her ? Actions speak louder than words, and clearly Omkaar actions contradict his words. Who knows, had Bharti not been as defiant as she is, Omkaar would have already tried to get her in bed or worse, already raped her.
Heck if I see my brother treating a woman like this tomorrow, I'll defenitely try to do something about it, even if I hate that woman with all my might. It's nothing heroic or unrealistic, it's simply a reflex that I would act upon.
I'm sorry, but I cannot side with Armaan no matter what. He can atleast try to help Bharti. He's doing NOTHING. š
