First of all, those of you who don' know who/what Rebecca is, Let me say it is a black/white Hollywood classic suspense movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock and adapted from a novel by the same name.
Today I found some shades (not exact) of Rebecca in PB.
What do we know about Imrati? Whatever we have heard from HS, Laala and Naembi. There are many questions that come to my mind
1. HS has given the impression from his talks that he loved Imrati immensely, lost her and is drinking due to that. So if he loved her so much, why is there no picture at all of Imrati anywhere in the house walls or even in his wallet or may be in a book, etc? Why has he locked up everything in a trunk?
Let's say he feels sad and the picture reminds him of her and so he keeps them all locked up. Fine.
But today when Mini opened the trunk, he was furious. Yes, Mini did not take his permission. But I felt that anger had a different meaning.
In Rebecca, all her belongings were locked up in one wing of the mansion. Her husband Max did not want to look at anything that belonged to her. But all the maids, butler, etc of the house claimed that her husband loved her very much. When Max's new wife opens that room and looks through Rebecca's belongings, Max gets furious. Nobody in the house and Max himself told the truth to the new wife. She finds out towards the end. Max does tell her before the mansion gets burned down.
2. HS said Imrati ke pran nikal gayee...something on those lines....but how? Why is HS so upset? Is it because he could not save Imrati? Or is it because he did not want to save her?
What if Imrati was having an affair with someone else and HS found out that the baby was not his? They have a fight. Perhaps Imrati tumbles down the stairs. HS probably could have prevented the fall but he did not out of anger. He did not actively kill her but did not stop it from happening either.
In Rebecca too, she has an affair with another and Max finds out. Rebecca's death is accidental but I think there was no witness and hence, everybody blamed Max. What if something similar happened here?
3. HS has said several times his father was a monster. What if his father raped/had affair with Imrati? Just imagine what HS may have gone through? What if his father is in jail and not dead like everyone thinks?
4. Laala and Naembi are definitely telling the truth that HS truly loves Babita. But when it comes to Imrati, they are hiding/avoiding questions. Why?
5. What if the impression HS gives about Imrati is something he expected his Imrati to be or thought her to be but reality was different?
Sorry for the long post. But the episode was so intriguing that I could not stop myself. And yes, I love suspense movies/novels. 😊
Happy speculating to all.😊
