Savz,
Your post has an altogether different flow to it. And your humorous touch here and there make it hilarious enough. But I love reading them. 😛
Totally agree with you with keeping logic away. 😆 😆

Her selective choice of whom she can heal, she can reprimand, talk is making me go nuts. How does it make sense at all when her sister accuses her husband of ill-will or for that matter cursed him in the past, that she just walks away from there as if Trishna did not say anything at all. Isn't it human and ethical not to hear such false words against your husband ??? Come on even Sati (Lord Shiva's first wife) could not hear any falsity/slighting of her husband from her father and she took her own life in some dramatic manner...I mean, people react, people uphold honour and here MB walks away without defending her husband at all. I was close to pulling my hair today.

@shri,

Exactly I was thinking this when driving back home .

I expected a strong reaction from Madhu but it was opposite of what I thought.

Coming to the episode,

Liked : Malik's reaction when Trishna is crying.

RK and Madhu's convo. But I thought it could have been better. something is missing.

Madhu holding RK's hand and Rahaji holding Madhu's hand when they are coming to court. I like those kind of subtle nuances when they show it.

Didn't like :

MB's reaction to Trishna's words.

Expected a strong reaction from Madhu.

@everyone nice analysis. 😊

Hi, all - already see about twenty ideas here I would not have thought of! (As usual😆)

But for some reason today the lack of logic didn't bother me too much, as today was the day (ironically) for halla boling from all the right characters. Except Padmini. But more on that later.

It was good to see Malik finally finding his voice, even if it took awhile and he unleashed it all on Trishna in the street. (In front of the "Mumbai High Court", according to the sign, which for unexplained reasons seems to be temporarily located in some back gali of Sajjanpur or somewhere. All we needed were two policemen in their innerwear shirts chewing paan on the stairway and. voila! Set complete. It's MUMBAI, location scouts...metro hai.

And speaking of this magic village court, Shri is right. We cannot even fast track the murder cases of the highest international diplomats in India - how did they get Padmini into trial at nine o' clock the morning after the murder? Actually, a case like this in reality would not be given a fast track at all. And particularly considering that stars prefer to avoid public court and the like, I do not think the speed of trial can logically be explained by RK's status. So in this aspect the show was just swimming around in the fairy-tale waters of soap-land.

The other halla bols from today were good, too. RK was able to speak his worries, which must be a new task for him. It was a good touch to show he even needed his old crutch of daru; it illustrated how untried this territory is for him. He really did think she might leave him and the thought was enough to bring the whiskey back to his hand - his old way of dealing with indescribable pain. But his new way - letting Madhu help him access his feelings - was the saving of the situation, as she was the next halla bol (softly, I know, but with instant conviction.) Her firm words dispelled the clouds of guilt hanging over him. Today I really appreciated both of the characters - Madhu does not waver one instant in her sense of loyalty, and RK, once back on firm ground, is able to focus both on his sense of righteous anger (at Balraj) and his concern for the situation of his sasumaa.

But the shiny new award for halla-boling today goes to...BITTUJI! When he came barreling up to the papparazzi, I actually cheered out loud for him! As usual, he is effective, to the point, and draws no attention to himself other than the minimum needed to get the job done.

So except for Padmini, everyone is talking up a storm. The precap is absurd. Were there no credible witnesses that they have to rely solely on Padmini's testimony? Let's think...who was there? Umm, only an entire baraat, a team of naach girls, Madhu, RK, Trishna, Malik...okay, you get the point. But, I mean, even if Padmini has lost the ability to speak for life (which, don't worry, she hasn't. TRP's are at stake here😆), there would be a gaon's worth of eye witnesses to start the ball rolling. The only person in the whole epi who should rethink hallaing bol? Padmini's lawyer Sheesh. Hai na?

Well Bhakti, I don't even have the full knowledge of what a court can offer for a regular person like me, how would I know about what it can do for deaf and dumb...as in physically challenged. 😆 They might appoint interpreters. Mostly the judge firsts asks the legal counsels to speak and then hearing the opening arguments of the PP (Public Prosecutor) and the Defence Lawyer, talks to the accused first followed by the plaintiff. Sometimes they just want to listen to what the accused has to say, so that he can decide on the next course of action. For ex...Not guilty etc will allow the judge to give the next attendence/trial date or he might call the legal counsels and speak to them on various doubts he gets. The judges do need to read about the case before the hearing starts and hence the police filing the case with court administration is very important.

Faster dates, faster trial all is very subjective sometimes. If the defence lawyer is on good terms with PP and personal assistants to the Judge, lot of things can be manipulated (let's call it manuvering) well within the law. In Padmini's case, the Police already told her and family, that yes we know you are not wrong, so just speak it out and we are just doing our duty. So as the plaintiff, the Police already backed out on charging too much except the blatant truth that a murder has occurred. They need not prove that murder had happened, because the man is dead. So it now completely rests on the defence including the accused mindset on what they think of their action...Guilty or Not. And suprisingly, none of Padmini's family member except Roma told her vocally that you are not wrong. Did Madhu say it ? remind me...

Madhu actually speaking here...from my point is permissible. As Padmini saved her by killing Balraj. However, I really do not know, under which category Madhu falls...may be Key Witness.

@ bold - Agree 100%. I surf channels when she begins ...

Yes I was upset with Madhu's silence for two reasons

1. She did not defend her husband when someone grossly accused him
2. She did not answer baseless accusations from her sister, thus not giving a message to Trishna that Madhu cannot and will not take shit and she better behave. This is how the errant family member starts adhering to code of conduct, and this is how a world becomes a tolerable place to live. That is why we have enforcement agencies. We just don't walk away in indifference as if what the person said was not worth answering...again the person was not a stranger who said that. They shared same fathers and mother.
