Awesome. Thanks for the brilliant analysis.
Bulls eye :
"No one is condemned without a hearing... What happened to principles of natural justice? "
This is something that I am not able to understand. It made sense to not talk to Pulkit (which Sai anyway did?) until he finishes his investigation so that the suspect doesn't get alert if he was a fraud. But when he has gathered evidence what is stopping him from confronting him?
It is the same guy who let a college student go free with a warning so that he is given a chance to redeem.
From what we have seen so far and what I have observed is that he has no control over his emotions.
One has to control their emotions and though it might be about his sister, he has investigated it as an IPS officer and he should have acted like one than a brother. He cannot do such a shoddy work.
As you have mentioned, I couldn't understand why did he not do a background check? Neighbours or school records?
The brother in him took over. It was due to the disappointment that his Tai is not going to get a happy life; that he thought his sister found after many years.
The happiness or the hope that was visible when he was speaking to his wife that his sister probably will get alright if she gets united with her husband was shattered and he couldn't handle it? If the intent is to reform her life, he cannot let a brother take over now.
He would have undergone training to handle pressure and stress and I am not sure when will we see him using them at times like this.
As you have rightly pointed out, he is not in that stage where if he and his spouse are in disagreement, he can stand up for her or fight for her.
Sometimes I really feel that whatever feelings he has for his wife is not getting substantiated.
The open challenge that Sai gave, even after all this and clearly they have plotted against the wedding and she is aware of it since she had a look at the same document and believes that it is their doing, she still thinks she can challenge? She thinks that she can go against his warning and elope with his sister? Again whatever she is also doing is based on trust and her instincts.
Can she not do it any other way? Can she not try to prove it to him by investigating that she failed to do all these while?
The entire problem from the beginning is this - she didn't take Virat into confidence first. Okay let that be aside even for the sake of argument. So she herself also did not get into the story at all. As if it was enough to just find Pulkit and bring him home to claim that Devyani and he were separated for ulterior motives. Who will prove it? Pulkit is least interested and seems to have no evidence but Sai has shown no inclination to find out either. She still doesn't want to know what happened. How can one be so convinced without even having basic questions in the head. Pulkit said he would tell about Devyani later, she didn't prod him but accepted the gifts. She could have pushed Virat to come along and speak to Pulkit and find out, he would have agreed eventually if she had insisted. Can she not do it any other way? That's the whole question. What is the need to be confrontational always. Forget the Makad Gang for once, but she knows Virat has been misled and is genuinely worried for Devyani. He is not retracting from his word due to some ulterior motive. She cannot deal with it like a 'challenge' instead of bringing him on board.
