If your wife wants tv, fridge, etc, you should fulfill her demands and not say, I am used to live a simple life so I expect you also to live a simple life like me. It is a 90s movie and tv, fridge etc were basic necessities then and he failed to provide these basic necessities and I guess him being sold as a commodity by his wife was his karma.
I used to hate Urmila then but now I feel the ending would have been better if Sridevi would have left instead of Urmila. Anil loved her and they were happy couple. Sridevi lost her rights over her husband after they divorced. Legally as well ethically Urmila was the real wife of Anil and not Sridevi. The climax actually showed Sridevi so weak and dependent on her ex husband and Urmila so strong that she left the country even though she was pregnant so that Anil can live with his vulnerable ex wife. It was not any prayaschit. It was a sacrifice she did for Sridevi. Real prayaschit should have been done by Sridevi as her mistake was bigger than Urmila's.
