Anyone would have done the same thing if in position of Savita's. When the son is in jail money wouldn't be a priority...justice and his release would be which the company is from nowhere promising.
Had watched Parineeta this weekend...Shekhar reminded me of Manav...not in persona but for being the worthless hero. Girish was million times better...but shekar was lolita's love and the chosen one. Similarly manav here is the chosen one...everyone wants him to be the hero...the man worth archana's undying love. Unfortunately he's obstinately not becoming one...the hatred and anger is more out of frustration of him repeatedly doing everything against one's wishes and expectations. It is the constant hope of him rising into a hero that makes the hatred too not so deep rooted.
Shravani's character looked through in perspective of audience psyche is hated because she is the reason the entire standard of the leads was diminished. In character, I would disagree in calling Shravani a victim. Her sufferings are as much self-inflicted as that of the leads. Shravani instead of believing in herself chose to be taken over by man for looking after her and her child; she further chose to fall in love knowing he is in love with somebody else. She tried to demean a woman from the position which was rightfully hers then and today still wants to be in a relationship where the possibility of receiving love and respect ever is bleak. So by no means she is a victim...because she has chosen to lead a life like this. If this threesome fiasco exists today...it is due to the active and wrongful participation of all three.
I personally do not relate to any of these characters realistically coz none of them are deep rooted in soul. A child is termed as soft clay...to be moulded in a desired shape for the rest of his life. These characters will forever remain in this nascent stage...moulded according to the wills and fancies of the writers. They will never be consistent in nature coz there is no value structure of their own to fall upon.
