Barrister Babu was a great show. A really great show. I could always connect to it's different characters. Be it Aniruddh, Bondita, Trilochan Kaka even Saudamini & Binoy. But now I can hardly recognise all of them (except Trilochan Kaka....he has changed but that's a good change).
First let's talk about Aniruddh :
Aniruddh was a really strong male lead. Very different from others. He has always stood up.against the wrong & has always shielded Bondita from the harsh society but now he is behaving such, polygamy & emotionally cheating on his wife....agreed Bondita is a child & he is doing all of this keeping Bondita's well being in mind but still it will have a lasting impression on Bondita's young mind as she grows up.
Bondita:
Bondita....Oh My Sweet Bondita. She stole my heart with her very logical questions & her curious nature. Her character also didn't escape the butcher's axe. Yes, agreed that she is a child but Aniruddh's polygamy act has impacted Bondita in such a way that even she does not understand.
Binoy:
His character was straightforward & direct. He was rude at times but he loved his family. He loved his children, especially Aniruddh. He even married Sampurna because he didn't want Aniruddh to hate him. But then suddenly he took a 360 degree turn & fell in love with Sampurna, so much so that he behaves like a lovesick teenager with her. Complete butchering.
Sampurna:
Woah. That's the only word that comes to my mind when I see her. She started out as Bondita's extremely loving & caring sister. The one who shared everything with her be it dolls & sweets or joys & sorrows. I don't understand, just under the influence of her mother she changed so much that she deliberately tries to hurt Bondita, the one who was so close to her. I understand what happened with her was very bad & the treatment she received from Trilochan was horrible but still....just because they wanted a vamp in the show, they turned Sampurna into one! Wow.
Somnath :
Don't have much to say here. They could have done so much with his character but they chose to keep him as a showpiece.
Manorama :
I have never ever in my whole life have seen such a useless kraantikaari. What purpose does she serve in the story?? She doesn't know anything, she doesn't even have a plan. Kraantikaaris always planned ahead. They knew what they were doing. She doesn't even know that Roy Chowdhurys weren't invited, she proposed a fake marriage to Aniruddh even after knowing that he was married?? Like why????
RIP Logic :
Bondita is a teenager who was fed all absurd things from different people of the society including Trilochan Kaka. But that doesn't mean that you fake marry someone infront of your wife & scar her for life & even with the reverse psychology thing I think he went a little overboard with everything.
RIP History :
Okay....now about the latest promo....Aniruddh & Bondita seperating can be a good thing given that the pure relationship they share doesn't get spoilt, though I am very concerned about how AniDita will face the society after this. It will be very difficult for them.
History says that the Sharda Act was passed in 1929 & the show is set in 1920. So how can this act pass now & also how can AniDita's marriage be nullified....it happened before the act was passed & even if that happens that means ki all the marriages of this kind will be nullified & the children will be declared illegitimate??? Huh???
P.S- All these are my opinion about the show & in no way do I intend to bash the actors playing all these characters.
I do not intend to bash the makers also but they should do their research more thoroughly. Especially since it is a period drama.
I am really sorry for this extremely long rant.
