Nice post 😊
I agree to what u said about the show being regressive and many of them think they are encouraging attrocities on woman which isnt true !! Such things still happen, its just that most of them are not ready to accept it !!
Coming to the characters, my thoughts differ a little from yours about all the lead characters you have talked about !! Here is my take on them 😳
Rangeela - A character who is shown to be a loyal slave of a rich family from his childhood !! He is been brought up by his master and his family and so he has imbibed many of the qualities of his master !! But he has also got another good side which he has inherited from his mother !! He is even shown as an educated guy !! He is very loyal and there have been many instances and scenes in the show which highlight his loyalty !! The issue here is he is shown as a bipolar character, as a guy who is bad and good at the same time !! Also, coming to his loyalty towards his master, he did cross the line when he almost kidnapped Shivani and took her to hospital !! None of the Chaudhry's (except Maaldawali) are aware of this even today !! He even lied to Veer directly to save drunken Shivani !! He lied to complete Chaudhry family and freed Shivani from Berehampur !! He did all this to help someone which is good but the point is he did go against his Maalik and this very thing contradicts his " loyal slave " tag because he did all this on his own !! He was seen preaching about "Aurat Samman" last week and then in the same episode he was ready to kidnap one more girl for Veer 😕 If not Shivani, someone other gal will have to undergo the same torture and may be Veer might force himself on her also ?
Veer - I had loads of expectations from this character but makers disappointed me big time He is shown as someone who is possessive about his wife and scolded his Ghulaam for raising his voice against her !! After few episodes, the same guy asks his Ghulaam to watch over his wife , asks him to torture her , punish her in every possible way !! He gets easily manipulated by people around him be it Maaldawali or Jageer leaving him look dumb !! He likes Rangeela and treats him as his brother, that brother whom he tortures without any hesitation and can go to any extent to punish and hurt him like he made him do ab crunches when Rangeela was injured He just wants Rangeela to be alive because he knows he can never get such a loyal Ghulaam again but here also he became ready to let Rangeela hang himself !! He was shown to be feeling bad for Rangeela but if his feelings were really true, he should have stopped Rangeela rather than celebrating his death like a festival !! Also, Veer's character is used as a medium to show some sense less scenes between Shivani-Rangeela 😕 He is ruled by his male ego and can do anything to satisfy it !!
Many of them find the relation between Rangeela-Veer to be the best one but i find it diluted and untrue because both of them at some point have not been true to other
