I actually thought it was a realistic portrayal of such situations. JL's mother shared her point of view, and as far as what I know of some regional cultures in India, this is not an alien perspective, but quite the norm.

Agreed , this is plain truth although unjustified but this is what happens in village I believe also happens in cities also, this mentality is the reason our country is going through the crisis as women are the one who have instilled this mad unreasonable and total rubbish thinking in men that what ever you are doing is OK with us and we will support you which is nothing but total crap.

Meera asked her why she would support a man who hit her and got an answer from the woman. After listening to the woman, who is clearly in an emotional state, then for Meera to expound on the ills of domestic violence in that moment, would have come across as not only patronizing but also judgmental. She is not there to start a woman's lib movement in the village, but for her own reasons. And when a grown woman who has her mental faculties intact is telling you what she believes and to stay out of her business, the last thing she wants is for you to tell her how wrong her beliefs are (whatever your feelings on the issue may be). It was evident that it was not a behavior that Meera condoned, but she knew when to step back and let the woman handle her own relationships.

Again agreed, Meera is educated , smart and city bred and she knows that this thinking is totally wrong but I guess there was no point in fighting with the women who in no way would have listened to her, the husband-equals-God mentality is too deep rooted to change in just one lecture , also JL's mom literally scolded Prithvi and asked him to leave them alone and not interfere in their matters , Now after listening to that who would speak for her , she would have definitively spoken more if she was on a mission to educate women against domestic violence.

For me, the main purpose of the scene appeared to illustrate certain aspects of Prithvi that were unknown to Meera before - as much as Prithvi can be a goonda, there is some code of morality that he follows (in his own way), which likely was a surprise to her (especially given how many times she has cringed from him thinking that he was going to hit her). It may sound like an oxymoron that a man who made a number of attempts on her life would be so against hitting a woman - but they are indeed two different issues (not to argue the point of whether a would-be-murderer or a domestic abuser is better in any sense).

Yes , I also believe that this is what the CVs wanted to show that Prithvi is not as bad as Meera thinks.They wanted to show that Prithvi has some goodness in him where he wants to save women from domestic violence which is totally against what he did with Meera but on his behalf I can say that his actions towards Meera where to save his DT who is every thing to him , this does not in any way imply that I support Prithvi's actions but this is the personality of Prithvi that he will go to any extent to save the people he cares about and what he thinks is right.

I think on the surface level, it's easy to pathologize and demonize all of them for their weaknesses, but for me it seems like the CVs are trying to balance story telling with reality as much as can be accomplished in a 70s style exaggerated love story drama.

Just my two cents.

At the end, I can only say that right idea but wrong implementation, they wanted to show significance of marriage to mithvi , they could have shown a couple who are in desperate times but still are sticking together as they are married.

My two cents, thanks for reading

😃

Agree with you 300% , CVs are really lackking creativity and showing craps like that . Every word spoken by Jeevanlal's mom is a straight insult to womanhood .
The problem is with the Indian mass viewers you know , they are gulping all bullshits like that happily .
