Now that yesterday's disappointment has washed off, I watched the show with an open mind again. Here is my simple analysis for whatever it is worth
- Raghav has always been a lone wolf. He lacks the ability to emotionally open up to anyone regarding any of his problems. Of course, he has the macho strength and is not afraid of a brawl but he is very emotionally vulnerable. Even though Farhad has been his right hand man for so long he has hardly been able to open up to him regarding his feelings. The only person Raghav has allowed to emotionally advise him is - His inner self or Pallavi. Those are the only 2 people who have been able to breach the high walls around his vulnerable heart. This track hopefully will lead to Raghav becoming more trusting of his love and being able to understand the emotional manipulations of his enemies.
- Mandar did not do anything bad to Pallavi. He acted like a person who is trying to find answers to his questions and as such took her to the doctor who according to him was looking after him for the past 2 years. He very cleverly guided Raghav to where he is taking Pallavi. The goal of Mandar is to emotionally disturb Raghav with the thoughts of what is he going to do with Pallavi. Raghav did not run to Vikarabad because he doesn't trust Pallavi, rather he went to safeguard her as he has seen Mandar lusting over Pallavi during the puja time. So Mandar played a mind game with Raghav and landed the punch and Raghav was emotionally drained. This is very similar to how Ved(Lion) operates with respect to Raghav. In the first Lion track, Lion keeps on doing silly things like alarm in courier, sending the video of car exploding - all done to keep Raghav on the edge. His goal was to kill Raghav but all the mind tricks were to emotionally disturb him. Even during the Mandar accident truth time also Ved intentionally kept Raghav on edge by saying that he is going to disclose the truth of the accident to Pallavi. Ved does that because Ved knows Raghav in and out - He knows his weakness.
- Regarding Pallavi, I really hope if she comes to D house to nurse Mandar or whatever, she comes with her husband by her side. There is no way she should be forced to look for an ex when she has already moved on in life. And hopefully this will help Pallavi see the selfish people that Deshmukhs are - Vijay, Sulo, Manasi. Vijay was so ready to accept Pallavi as DIL because yes that is the toy his son wants. I really don't want any redemption for Vijay. It is better if Raghav and Pallavi don't maintain any relationship with Vijay but rather have relationship with Kaka, Aayi, Nikhil and Amrutha
- The main problem in the episode is the lopsided treatment of negativity. Balance the negativity with positivity and positive characters. Then it feels better to watch though I can't seem to shake off the Shark in the background effect of Jaws.
