It is very tough for me to watch Dying Statement.
It is emotionally taxing I can't know why. May be all the team has done it so well.
The way Asha listens to her gut feeling that her friend's marriage is not right and eventually proves it is an eye opener to us all to trust our gut feelings in life and not ignore them.
Second point that made me sit up was when ACP sir narrates his experience as a young officer waiting to do good to society and is woken up with a slap in front of all in a bazaar from the very woman whom he had tried to save. He points out not just a complex dowry harrassement case but, the mentality of women in a marriage when and inspite of things going wrong. The caution he gives Asha is not for her alone or for the duo to be careful in such cases, but shows us all how women most of the times close not just doors of escape for themselves but close it for other women too by their actions which they feel they are justified to do.
It also highlights how complex emotions are when it comes to marriage, the societal conditionings which women and the girl's parents still follow and the misplaced loyalties women force them selves into and later can't get out at all.
Third point I noticed was the help ACP gives Asha - advices, physical support, his experience in allowing her to solve the case so she may be able to look at herself with respect in the mirror and sleep at peace afterwards. Abhijeet and Daya too understand this and give her the full support.
We all wish for this realistic portrayal in CID these days. But, I would say, if we internalise all these good points in our lives, and as seniors show this kind of support and advise to our juniors as the situations come up, show solidarity with friends who need us, the old CID will forever be alive through us all forever.😊
