However I am curious about Dayal's relationship with real wife and daughter. I strongly feel it is guilt that is contributing to his niceness towards Nitya and Payal. He seems pretty much adorable in flashbacks with real Durga though.
Good point on books trina. Scenes in Dayal mansion are mostly around the huge library or the Durga mata mandir. Or that small kitchen where this family eats or cooks together. Whereas scenes of Goenkas are always around that bar, booze or fancy lounge or bedroom. Never seen them bond together, eat or cook together or care for each other. Only Dev and Suchitra look like normal family. The Goenka trio almost always fights or talks in 'signs'. Dysfunctional bunch of animals! 🤢
I agree with you Dayal may indeed bear some guilt towards his daughter, especially knowing the kind of big-hearted man that he is. He wouldn't find someone else to blame. But at the same time, I feel a lot of what he shares with Nitya and Payal is very real and helps to keep him together in a way that the supposedly "real" Goenkas will never do. He looks like a dad any girl would be proud to have.
Thank you. Yes, the scenes are mostly around the library, mandir or kitchen. That is what I call middle class values. They all enjoy the company of books in the Thakur household, when was the last time you even saw any of the Goenkas doing it apart from Suchitra? They also affirm their ties to religion in private, not in front of others to impress friends. And the food also, it is another special experience they share together. It was in fact so special that Durga knew they wouldn't make it to the meal portion of the puja and therefore had to plan ahead! Better off than eating with those phonies. Yeah, the Goenka trio always fights and when one of them stands up for the other it's just a show because they are so dysfunctional they can't honor their principles anymore. Hard to even know whether they were a real family when the junior Goenkas were little. Their scenes around the bar are extremely appropriate where Rajnath always has a drink in his hand. As the threesome are always intoxicated with their money, power, and women.
Durga (bless her soul) ate them all for dinner in their own house, and everyone knew it. =)
