Loved loveeed the way TA shut his evil mother up!! And like someone else said, I wish it was T who said the line...;where she values her studies more than her life, and her husband more than life itself '. And TA can say the rest. I'm so glad the dir gave TA such a punch-dialogue!!! But I wish they gave T more of a backbone, and make her stand up to her mil. SHe whimpers and licks her wounds all the time instead of fighting.
And I have to agree with vjayam about BHU. Of course Lax is a worthless fickle-minded moron and he deserves to be punished. And as far as I agree that both of them had equal part in the wrong that they did, I think what sets BHU apart is her arrogance and her vile contempt for the poor and middle to lower class income families. Her treatment of people,the way she held her nose when she went to MM's house back when she didn't know it was his house and the way she commented that even her toilet is cleaner than this dump. The way she asked T why a driver's daughter (referring to Deepa)should harbour dreams of becoming an engineer...the way she describes MM based on material wealth...I think all this makes her a rather characterless person with a complete lack of values and morals. She's just not a good person.(Fullstop!)
What saves Lax is his 'kindness'(in the broadest term of the word). His basic kindness...which any one person should have and feel for another. Having said that, I don't see what Lax saw in BHU then...because she must have had this traits all along.That's probably his penchant for shifting loyalties(which is his greatest fault). And What BHU saw in Lax...was probably the opportunity to succeed.
Overall, I think that the director should show BHU as repenting and treating the poor better, before he can show justice being served to Lax through her. Otherwise, it would still seem wrong, if Bhu in all her arrogance and vile character and contempt for people, gets to bring someone else down. She should be given an opportunity, in her current living conditions, to reflect about her basic faults first.
