The harmonica - Just like Kabir has the fidget spinner, Ranvir has the harmonica. But while for Kabir the fidget spinner is a way to direct his impulsive nature to a more calculated approach, for Ranvir the harmonica is a way of foreshadowing and planning. He plays tunes that match his mood and that foreshadow the future while he plans. When Aanchal entered and when she left, he was playing a slow, but upbeat tune signifying that he will win, but it will be a slow win for him and slow loss for Aanchal.
The two mothers - One mother is Sarika who sees just the negative in everything. Ranvir's goodness is a negative. Aanchal's fight for justice is a negative. Kabir's "bewakoofiyan" is a negative. For her, everything revolves around righting the wrong at any cost and her right is not always the right in reality. She refuses to see Ranvir, threatens Aanchal, blackmails Kabir, all to reach her goal. On the other hand is Mrs. Srivastava who sees the positive in everything. The Raichands are not really powerful because they're just like you and me. Sarika's threat is nothing. The guilty will get punished. It's a nice case of opposites that the CVs have set up here.
Aanchal's background - Today there was some insight into Aanchal's background. She's smart. Being in the top 5 out of all law colleges is a great feat (though obviously another way for CVs to really exaggerate the characters). Not only that she chose to leave a well-paying job in a well-known law firm to stand by those who are less fortunate to afford such big lawyers and yet still need the legal representation. At the same time though it raises a question. If she's so smart to be in the top 5 in India's law colleges, then how did she fall into the trap of just believing what she sees and not digging any deeper? There is surely something at play here as she targets Ranvir for anything related to Meenu.
Kabir's over dramatic entry - I just had to comment on this because it made me burst out laughing in the middle of my work. Two people looked over and asked me why I laughed and I had to show them to some more chuckles. It was a nice play on the way Indian TV serials and films work: the last minute entry on the scene with a scream of "yeh shaadi nahi ho sakti". 😆 On a serious note this is where a slow walk makes sense! Because he's about to turn this case on its head! On another serious note, I like his drama at some times. At this point the drama made sense.
Kabir the detective and the lawyer - Kabir is all in one. But then again anyone can become that for their loved ones and Kabir did too. What I liked here was that even here he didn't leave the flair of drama, but more than that he anticipated exactly what Aanchal would say and mitigated it. You claim I'm misguiding the court, let me guide the court. You claim the back is Ranvir's, let me show you the front. You claim the car is Ranvir's, let me show you the judge's car. What's important and key here is that Kabir mentioned that he worked with police so that Aanchal can't claim he fabricated the evidence. Not only that, but he kept the anger and impulsive responses at bay, using only his brain to bring Aanchal's case down.
The tight case - Seriously? No case is ever so tight and snug. It takes care of every question, every concern, every loophole. The question does remain though, why was Meenu scared of Aanchal and not Kabir? Why does the medical report prove rape if it was staged? Why didn't police find this guy on their own? The first suspects are usually the boyfriends, husbands, uncles, neigbours, and other close people. Why did they immediately accept Meenu's statement at face value and not investigate any further? If Aanchal is as good a lawyer as her mother claims, why didn't she think of every possible way that Ranvir could escape and gather proof to mitigate it? No case is airtight ever and this case should have been no different. Yes some is the CVs not thinking of every loophole, but somewhere I also feel that this is all part of a bigger game.
