This is my first time posting on this forum, I was a silent reader for quite a while but today's episode really got my brain clogs running on overload and I HAD to share it.
Firstly, LOVE LOVE the leap and the changes brought in! It was MOST necessary to have a leap and let Bondita grow up because for how long can she remain young and fight for social reforms? And also, it was awkward as hell to see people (small portion) romanticizing the relationship between this small girl with a grown man.
And now, to the reason I wanted to post, this episode confirmed a lot of things for me:
1. Bondita hasn't changed and neither has she forgotten anything. However, I can see her getting emotionally manipulated by all sides but I think she might only fall for trickery, IF and when, ARC pushes her away too hard. (this is what has happened each time they had break from each other, it is usually ARC that ends up initiating it).
2. Someone has definitely died in the RC side and I think that might be a big bomb they will drop on Bondita much later on. I really don't think that poisoning them is enough to make ARC hate them this much, I mean look at the way Somnath reacted and wanted to poison everyone! (Som is definitely gonna be very hard towards Bondita)
3. Chandrachur is THE villian during this track, I have a feeling he is even playing Thakuma and manipulating the situation to get back at her for marrying him off to Tupur and she went along with his plans to punish the RC.
4. CC is gonna put forth an image of being a progressive and supportive man towards Bondita as he did today to trick her later on. That entire line of his regarding boiled milk to TM gave me chills. He is definitely gonna go crazy after Bondita.
5. ARC still feels deeply for Bondita and obviously, does not blame her at all but these families plus the villages have twisted his arm to completely change himself.
6. I'm not so sure that Kakasasur is gonna be very welcoming towards Bondita, even if he has a soft spot.
7. Bondita is gonna have a VERY hard time in convincing everyone especially with all these manipulative characters around and no support from RC's either, this is gonna be her fight alone without ARC and that excites me! She has grown into a beautiful and intelligent woman, she needs to stand up and fight without ARC to show everyone that she is no longer the young girl they could bully and needed ARC to save her (though she did save herself even back then but her age made her slightly more dependent on ARC, which is understandable).
8. Pravisht and Aanchal have such a beautifully sublime chemistry! I feel the makers don't need all these cliche scenes to make it obvious because these two actors are good enough to be subtle and bring forth the emotion required.
9. There is so much potential in the storyline. I hope they focus on Bondita's growth now. Preleap, we saw ARC blasting his vocal chords to fight for rights and now, I want to see Bondita following his own footsteps and fighting for people, not allowing this enmity hinder her.
10. Well this is more of a personal opinion, I'll be very pissed off with ARC if he is too harsh with Bondita. She doesn't deserve it at all, especially, after all she has gone through her life and this enmity wasn't caused by her. It was the crazy people on both sides at fault.
Well.. that was a long post 😃
P.S: Still forgot another point to add 😂
11. Bondita is the FIRST lady barrister and they are treating it quite normally, as if, all women in those times ended up going to London and becoming a barrister. This is the weird part that I cannot swallow.
