Raghav's Reaction : Do The Cvs Think We R Fools?

2) Raghav and V confrontation in his room

It was disappointing. For one thing, Raghav was out of character. The writing of the scene and the penned down reaction of his character here is to blame.

This is how it went:

- V enters, Raghav places a knife on his throat

- Raghav says that he wants to kill him

- V bites back

- Raghav starts talking about V being sick and not loving Sia

- V bites back

- More treatment talk

- More biting back

- Raghav threatens and leaves

This is how it should've gone:

- V enters

- Raghav grabs his collar and slams him back against the nearest convenient wall

- Raghav threatens him that the next time he touches his sister, he's a dead man

- V bites back

- Raghav slams him again and says that he should kill him now

- V blabbers about Raghav taking his jaan

- Raghav says that V might be sick, but that doesn't mean that he deserves mercy

- Raghav slams him one last time and leaves

Can anyone see the difference? The original scene emphasized V as a victim, a sick man who can be redeemed because he's sick and just needs treatment, triviliazing his deeds, which is disturbing considering that he just returned from a sexual assault on a girl.

The second scene emphasizes V as a responsible free-willed man who isn't a victim and who shouldn't be treated like a patient, but like a criminal. It also emphasizes that Raghav is severely pissed and unforgiving about what V did to Taashu -- and there is absolutely no mercy from his side now.

The first message was wrong and Raghav's character was weakened/warped to fit what foolish message the writers wanted to present in favor of V. They wanted to emphasize his sickness, that he's "not well" and "can't see his wrongs", which is a bunch of lies. We all know that V isn't as sick as they're now making him. We all know that he's completely aware of his actions, that he's a sharp man, and that he enjoys it.

It seems like they're setting up the stage for his character alteration -- "redemption track".

Funny how they went back on everything they've said and done so far. They cancelled it all; that V should be treated like a criminal, that he's sick but not so sick that he can't be held responsible for his evil deeds, that he enjoys causing pain, that he's aware of it, that he's essentially evil.

Now it's; he's sick and needs treatment. Then he'll be fine. Justification, is what it is, of his character. I don't know if the writers intended it. But I know that it's what comes across.

You know, serial killers are sick too. They have sob-stories to tell about their abusive and horrible childhood. They enjoy inflicting pain upon others. They enjoy the hunt. They need treatment too, says the system. They're arrested and given treatment. They come out and they lie low for a while -- a year, two, maybe seven, and then they start killing again.

V is a psychopath. In that sense, he's sick. But he too enjoys inflicting pain on others and he too enjoys the hunt. Watch the sexual assault scene. His smile. He enjoys seeing her lying powerless on that bed, enjoys seeing her pain. He enjoys knowing that Raghav and Sia are searching desperately for Taashu, that they'll only find her when he wants them to. He won.

What I'm trying to point out is that a man like V cannot change for the better, which is the one very clever thing that Komolika emphasized. You can't change his nature. He is what he is, and even if he's put through treatment, he'll return to his old ways in due time. That is what he enjoys, what he wants.

And as for remorse -- remorse isn't something that pops up in you at a convenient hour. No, either you have a conscience, or you don't. Either the remorse was always in you and poking you when you committed every wrong act, or it wasn't.

It has never existed in V. It still doesn't. Perhaps the writers should do their research on psychopaths and whatnot before they force-feed us a redeemed or "too sick to be blamed for his evil deeds" V.

5. I hate how the 'I'm perfect the way I am' refrain was made to sound more like a reason to pity Viraaj, through showing this scene from Raghav's POV -- by all rights, that 'I'm perfect' line would have served a better purpose being viewed as a tool that shows Raghav that a man like Viraaj will hardly ever change: it isn't about his illness anymore -- Viraaj chose to do what he did, chose to enjoy what he did while in full faculty of his senses, and will refuse - like most abusers - to be any different. How many men promise to change but get back to that routine the moment their wives return to them? And you're expecting us to pin his 'I'm perfect' attitude, which a number of men - who feel entitled to whatever they feel their family should be giving them, but who won't bother caring an iota for them - adopt themselves, on something he supposedly can't change? Thoo!

What I totally hated was how Viraj's pshyco-ness was so hyped in today's episode...🤢

I don't care that he's mentally ill...there I said it!

Because quite frankly it doesn't justify or erase his crimes!

I am not sure what is going on and WHY THE HELL IS IT GOING ON!

The whole.. Viraj-Raghav scene I hated it! 🤢 It was pathetic! I hated Raghav's self-dialogue🤢 that was bullshit! Raghav's baby sister was attacked and there is no way a guy like Raghav would have been sympathetic towards Viraj! It was utter stupidity of the CVs...
