Thank-you for the post... I always wait for your highlight post and happy when one is there...
I think the story is trying to get on track... the only thing that is very very due is - highlighting the story, thoughts and actions of Neil. He is a ML and wonderful characterization, this character's story needs to be highlighted. I know I am repeating this.. but will keep repeating until it is served
I have not seen the episode, so can't comment on Dhanraj part... but I won't say I am sorry for him. The people who enjoy their life snatching things from other, crushing other's happiness for their own and destruct other's peace and life and enjoy their life... this was just small peace snatched by him... he should know how the pain of things getting snatched feel...
Also, indirectly it serves Shobhna well, She did all mishap in name of my blood and at the end her own blood was not allowed to do her last rites.
