Virats lie in the mandap was ok. It was a difficult situation. And marriage happening was priority. So its justified.
But now i would have preferred V to have done the full reveal himself. If it weren't for Sai putting an end to the nonsense, this would have stretched. And i would like V to be able to step up on his own. This situation that was created by him required that he take full ownership from get go. Its always Sai's trigger that gets him to speak or see the obvious.
But thankfully V didn't throw Sai under the bus at any point. V got great dialogues today but just to establish that hes very "respectful" imo he was too toned down. I respect my parents but when I am really upset, charged up I wont be able to talk to them in such a soft tone.... automatically your voice is a little louder. Dont have to yell but speak a bit loudly. Its natural. Ayesha is great in that loud/not yelling waala inntonation.
In the second half, at least he gets some punch in his tone, body language but it still fell short to be fully impactful. His dialogues were more impactful than his performance. He got good dialogues. He called out the blackmail, he said out loud that Sai told him to speak the truth n did not know he would lie at the mandap. He told BK that you hurt me/Sai more than we hurt you..he was very clear that being doctor is priority for Sai but its not gonna come at the cost of their marriage. He said again that he loves her. 2 things i wish he had done- 1. To say that if Sai is not supported he will not hesitate to leave with his wife-> and if BK felt that was blackmailing, he could have proven how BK did the exact same kind of stunt on their marriage day.
2. I wish when he was speaking about the lies BK has told , he'd not make it so "cutesy" about bk lying about ghosts and chudails but about really big things like why Devi was mentally ill...she thought she was "protecting" her daughter and keeping family together. Virat is old enough to raise that openly.
I actually didn't mind that he refers to Sai being doctor as KJs dream because if he is supportive of it, that automatically makes it his dream/priority too.
I also didn't mind that Sai n V keep saying rishta would've been broken n she'd walk away.... because i think what they mean is that its obvious that Sai cant choose marriage/bahu over her career because its also her self respect, her identity, her independence on the line. No one can fulfil a marriage or love by killing themselves. Khud ka vajood nahi hoga toh kahaan hoga pyaar or zimmedari. I wish these words had been used by Sai n V more in context to this discussion....the vajood, identity, independence- 3 important reasons why career is important to Sai and to every one else too.
So if marriage had been stalled and Sai had left, this issue would always remain between them even though technically they were already married. This re- marriage although symbolic was very important to Sairat because the first time they both were not in it- mind, body, soul. So this time if marriage was adhoora it'd make a big psychological dent on both of them and caused a lot of angst.
P.S. sam being referred to as army waala IS A JOKE! He is unemployed. He may have taken a break for whatever reason but neither is he being shown going back nor doing anything else. Sam leaving army for his personal readons is his choice and thats fine. I dont think if someone chooses to leave the army, they are ditching the country etc...thats too narrow minded n silly. But to speak about his job now when he's perpetually unemployed is a joke.
Pp being called "talented" is hilarious.
