HI Guys,
What an episode ...right?
Let me start today's write up with a legal concept...It is ...when someone is accused of something, before convicting the person...there is a due process...First the accuser has to come up with evidence to show there is evidence... The evidence has to be convincing...There is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty...There is a reasonable trial period...where the accused has a chance to know what evidence has been brought up against them and either refute it...or keep quiet...for whatever reason they may have to not speak up...but there is no conviction for being quiet...The evidence has to prove beyond a "reasonable doubt" that the accused has committed a crime.
Unfortunately in social scenes specially the ones set in India...the jump between accusation and conviction is really quick and is done without much due process...specially if the accused is a woman ...and specially if the accusation is about her moral "character".
Today, we see Arzoo going through a similar accusation and conviction! Her crime? She was helping a friend in need and is not willing to provide the details to anyone on what the matter was...
Why does she not speak up you ask...just like her accusers asked her today? Is it because of the promise she had given to Zaki...now that would be the simple explanation...Is it because she was thinking of the importance of not alienating relationships with Rehman ...who is so critical to the deal of Saahirs life time? Is it because she does not know the truth about Samaira and she would rather not open the door to raise questions about whose child it is ...at this moment? Is it because she knows the truth will come out ...very soon...This is just not the right time for her to start going down a path...so that she can clear her own name?
The possibilities are many...it is easy to say ...she could have ...she should have...but if she did...what would be the consequence? Who all would have gotten affected? Shouldn't that consideration have mattered? Is she acting like a sacrificial lamb or is she acting like someone who is buying time and will not hesitate in finding and presenting the truth?
What I did like in the whole screenplay the most...is that they have written enough detail in the script to give Saahir's character ...enough of a reason to believe that there is something going on between Zaki and Aarzoo...as much of a misunderstanding as it is...He has multiple pointers to make him have this MU...unlike Bituwa once upon a time who threw it all away...based on witnessing one hug...that was forced upon the damsel...
Overall quite FANTASTIC even though this was really DRAMATIC!!!
