@arshi hey 😃
Liked ur post but i still say Rangeela's character lacks consistency and below are my reasons !!
As u said Rangeela is brainwashed from his childhood to follow Maalik's orders - yes we got to see that from that childhood toffee scene !!
But we have seen Rangeela going against Chaudhry family and Maalik's orders in below scenes :
1. He sneaked Shivani out of the house and took her to hospital even when Gulguli refused to send her !! Here he went against them , went against his Ghulaam mode for his friend, because Manju bhabhi mentioned his Amma. In this scene they wanted to show that Rangeela can go against Maalik when it comes to his Amma/friends !! No one except Maaldawali still know about this !!
2. He almost kidnapped Shivani and took her to mamaji to keep his promise !! He even said if they get caught along with him both Shivani and mamaji will be killed ! So he again went against Veer just to keep up his promise to Shivani !! In this scene they wanted to show that Rangeela is a guy who keeps up his promise !!
3. He tricked Veer and Sarkar into agreeing to keep mamaji at his place just because Shivani asked for a reciprocation of her help !! I felt as a Ghulaam that Rangeela is shown, he shouldn't be doing this as its Veer's and Sarkar's decision to keep mamaji in a dark place !!
4. He promised Veer that he will be considering him as his only God in second episode and will stay away from Shiv ji whereas we have seen Rangeela going to Shiv mandir in two instances, once when there was some auspicious occasion where he closed his eyes inorder to not violate his promise and second time when Shivani fell unconscious during the accident !! So he kind of broke his promise in these instances !!
In all the above instances, Rangeela went against his Maalik's orders/rules but was not shown to be feeling guilty for breaking them except for the Shiv ji case !!
So makers are making Rangeela to alter or break rules according to the situation when they want to show the good side of his character where as in other instances they show him as someone who can't go against his Maalik and chanting "its his dharm to follow Maalik's order" 👏👏
The only issue which i found in the complete slap Shivani scene is that , Rangeela din't even think or object for once before slapping her ? I would have been ok if he atleast tried to reason out with Veer saying "he can't slap his maalkin" or "he doesn't raise his hand on a woman" but he dint !!
He was shown refusing or reasoning with Veer when he asked him to watch over Shivani saying "he can't handle lugayi" !! I expected the same reasoning or refusing in this scene also which din't happen and this is the primary reason for me being highly disappointed with Rangeela's character after Friday's episode !!
Am still not able to feel pity for Rangeela as his stance changes according to situations !!
