This will be my last post ever on Ghum's writing....even talking about it is futile....
Let us for the time being erase everything that happened in the story so far. Let us take this track as a stand-alone. For a moment and look at the plot in a detached manner. What options did the makers have towards writing this track which was supposed to have angst and possible separation.
1) Virat's dealings with Shruthi is purely official. He is keeping Shruthi in his care in order to catch a bigger fish ....and he is doing this beyond the orders of DIG....so even the department doesn't know. The sense of duty and his work so overpowers him that he is neglectful and secretive towards his wife.
2) Ok keep the same "too-big-for-your-shoes" sensitive plot of Virat helping a fugitive. So they start by building a narrative that Virat is traumatized by his friend's death at his own hands. He is so guilt ridden and mentally disturbed that he ignores right and wrong and makes a morally questionable decision - one that is as grave as betraying his uniform. This has devastating consequences in his life - both professional and personal. After all the drama, make it into raat gayi, baat gayi. Nothing new for them. But for god's sake, keep the narrative consistent within the track! Virat is shown to be listless, suffering nightmares, in trauma....sinking deeper & deeper into his mess. Then out of nowhere - guy is shown smiling remembering romantic moments with his wife - the wife he was behaving coldly with few hours back because he was supposedly so disturbed....and by next morning he is pretty chill. *facepalm.
3) Simple. Just blindly copy KD. Don't unneccessarily make Shruthi into a fugitive and complicate matters. Don't mess with the time line - it is not making much sense when you monkey around with the timing of certain plots. Atleast let audience try to understand Leena's original narrative.
Par yahaan writing ke badle plot ki khichdi bann rahi hai....aur woh bhi Birbal ki khichdi.......
