Mere observations on Ani...
1. Ani by his stone walk silently made the statement Bon wanted him to. He clearly believes that Bon is innocent and that his silence in the Panchayat is a crime that deserves punishment. Kaka realised it, but TP wasis did not.
2. Ani clearly wants to get Bon out of this situation by hook or by crook. And helping Bon escape was the first step. But yahan bhi risk hai. If Ani is caught helping her escape he will still have to answer to the villagers.
3. The whole hut scene gave me goosebumps. Especially the parallels to Ani-Mano ka reception. Tab bhi Bon chose rituals over education/career and ab bhi. Tab bhi Ani was angry with Bon's choice and ab bhi he is angry that she is throwing away her life for him.
4. Bon hasn't done any dhoka is a lie where Ani is concerned, because her accepting the punishment and the accusation in this way is what Ani counts as a betrayal. Ani wanted to make Bon layak enough to ask for her own rights. Bon not doing that is what angered him.
5. However the gunhegaar Ani was going to name is Anirudh Roy Chaudhary. Every moment that he lets Bon suffer is a moment that he will continue sentencing himself.
6. Ani's expressions on learning the first two conditions were heartbreaking in itself, but Bon accepting them was even more heartbreaking for him.
7. Ani was about to interrupt the pandit even after hearing the first vidhi, this ritual is hurting him as a feminist, as a barrister and as Bon's Sakha Babu. Bon goading him like this will increase the hurt more and more till he snaps.
