I agree,
Sulochana hitting Amruta was supposed to make us feel sorry for Amruta and disgusted by Sulochana. It worked for me; simply shouting wouldn't have conveyed how depraved Sulochana is. I saw a frightened child who had trusted her mother to help with an unplanned pregnancy, and an unfit mother who took out her frustration on her child. So, when Pallavi shielded Amruta and was kind to her, it wasn't unbelievably magnanimous; I understood Pallavi's sympathy.
Likewise, when Jaya slapped Raghav after he brought Pallavi back to the saṃgīta, it was meant to jolt us viewers to feel sympathy for Raghav because his mother saw him as a sexual predator. It worked for me. After Jaya told Raghav what she thought he had done, and Raghav explained that he had rescued Pallavi and said Kṣamiñcu anyway, the scene of Raghav crying while hugging Jaya's ghuṅgarū and Ajit's nādasvaram might have seemed like an overreaction. With the physical sting of Jaya's slap, it made more sense for Raghav to cry like that.
Yes it was done to show how misunderstood he was and why he was so willing to do anything to do for his family
When Raghav was choking, yes, it would have been serious in real life, but we all knew that Raghav wouldn't die this way. So, I wasn't offended. I enjoyed the irony that Pallavi, who had just muttered that a few slaps could have fixed Raghav before too late, immediately got a chance to pound on him, and had to hit harder than she wanted to.
I was not offended but I didn't enjoyed it either and thought it was funny
I wasn't offended that Pallavi hit Raghav with the soft broom, but the stick was unacceptable. If the genders were reversed, a husband could playfully hit his wife with a soft broom if they both understood that it's not intimidation. However, Raghav and Pallavi were just starting to trust each other at that time, and this playful hitting didn't seem believable.
Some posts in this thread have asked, what if it was Raghav being violent to Pallavi? The show wouldn't survive, right? Well, he has behaved threateningly or overpowered her many times. I'll just mention two occasions.
He has and show got severe backlash during the said time and all raised their voice
First, when he was at the courthouse to bail out Jaya and Kirti, and she thought he was there to interfere in her stay-of-eviction order, he raised his hand to hit her and she cringed, and then he shoved her onto her lawyer (Jaydip). I suppose that was meant to show that Raghav has a temper and hates Pallavi, and still managed to limit his violent reaction, but it just seemed gratuitous to me.
Yes it was to show how much anger he is having for Pallavi, and to make us ready for what was happening next.. Raghav maligning her character resulting in VD throwing her out
Second, when Vijay was in jail and Pallavi was scolding Raghav, he gagged her, held her wrists, and slung her over his shoulder. I thought that the person who was watching them would record it and publish photos to embarrass Raghav, but no, the scene was comedy to show how unconventional this loving couple is. It was just demeaning and male chauvinistic.
here I don't agree, it was not needed as you said but it's not chauvinist or demeaning, he was asking her to relax but she was tense and constantly worried, agree he didn't had to gag her or not but it was to show as you said they had reached that level of understanding
I have read the whole thread so far, so please don't feel the need to repeat what you've already written - but it's up to you, of course. Please don't hesitate to tell me if I've offended you.
