Today, we saw the core moment whereby Ahilya was assisting Khanderao in solving some paheli related to his examination for the following day. No matter how bittersweet their equation is, both agreed to solve the conflict together by putting their differences aside. It was nice effort to see this moment of normal bonding together.
I liked that Gautamabai said that overconfidence isn't a good thing. This fear culminated from her having confidence that her son is the apple of the eye, Malharao's exam being a hurdle in Khanderao's step towards becoming the next in-line subedar. She protected him from all the problems but when he was given the task by his father, the fear was synthesized within her.
I also liked that the Father's strictness only resulted in love for Khanderao. It's a test for Khanderao, however, he's viewing it as Malharao's sternness when in reality, it's only a hurdle the father created for his child to succeed in his life. Malharao kept his calm and hided his internal conflict aside by aiding Khanderao in getting dressed. I feel this scene was an allusion for the father to say good luck and no matter what happens, he'll always be with Khanderao. His lesson to only listen to the heart was an endearing one to observe. Makes one realize the importance a father bequeaths to his children.
