Today's episode was interesting. Many people in the forum are worried that Vik's character is being butchered and he is being turned into a murderer. I am not so concerned with that. I think that if we step back and look at the situation symbolically, it might yield different results. They say "hell hath no fury greater than a woman (or man) who is scorned." Vikrant is in a murderous rage that is fully in keeping with his character. We have seen previously how egotistical he is and also used to having his own way. He cannot deal with betrayal, and chooses to deal with acts of betrayal himself, rather than sit and feel victimized by them.
At the same time, I want this story to remain a story of remarriage and the ensuing adjustments that people have to make. I want this to be a story of people relating to one another rather than a jasoos or CID story. If I wanted a murder mystery, I would watch such kinds of shows. That being said, there is some mystery surrounding Vik's first wife. There is a hint of some kind of murderous rage of Vik around the time of his wife's death, which, somehow, is also associated with him cutting off all relationships with Vampdana and co. What happened? Was there an act of negligence and/or betrayal by Vik's inlaws that led to his first wife's death? Will the CVs explore this angle? I sure hope so.
What challenges will Ravya face in their new life together? I find their reconciliation and the marriage track to be rather flat, like a soda bottle that has been kept uncovered for too long. In fact, I find Divya's character also to be rather one-dimensional. Parul is a great actress, and I wish for the CVs to give Divya's character more strength and layers. Also, where are Divya's siblings? She practically moved into the Jakhotia household after her return the second time. What happened to her house, and her darling brothers, brother's wife and sister? While watching soaps, we all allow a big leeway insofar as logic, connectivity, and consistency are concerned, but the fact that Divya's relatives were not even present at her wedding is a bit much to take. Also, such a big TV star would have lots of celebrity guests and friends. Where are they? Please CVs, do not let the slips keep showing. What will happen to Kamala? Will she turn into Monster-in-Law again, or will she continue to shower Divya with her love?
Back to Visa, I am looking forward to the upcoming track, and hope that it gives us a glimpse into the psychological background of Vik. Vik is an all-or-nothing person. He looks at the world in black and white and has trouble with the shades of grey in between, into which most human behavior falls. Like his outlook, his behavior is also all-or-nothing. Perhaps this way of being can be traced back to his orphanage days, to not having a mother or a father. Because of not having parents, and growing up in an atmosphere of impermanence, Vik's subconscious longs for someone he can rely on, someone he can love. Therefore, when Vik forms a bond, he chooses to trust a person completely --this in itself is problematic, as it is a setup for betrayal. Herein lies the interesting part. When a person has been hurt in childhood, or has been exposed to neglect and insecurity, they often have an aggressive persona, behind which they hide. Further, they unconsciously rehearse their insecurities by setting themselves up for betrayal. We can see both these coping mechanisms alternately deployed by Vik's subconscious. When evidence of Sarita's betrayal presented itself, why not confront her openly? Why the exaggerated sarcasm, the killer (literally) looks and word barbs? This again is in keeping with his character. When Vik's orderly world is even slightly disturbed, let alone shattered, he goes into hyper-control mode. Despite his aplomb, he is ready to believe the worst, because somewhere deep down, he expects people to betray him. So convinced he is of the betrayal that he does not even pause to think of other explanations, or to seek one by confronting the betrayer. Instead, he immediately goes on the offensive, gun and all. It is interesting that he is focused on killing Sarita, not Raj, a more plausible impulse. By destroying the one that he loves, Vik is annihilating his own chances of happiness, and rehearsing the patterns of insecurities that have dogged him all his life.
What mode will Vik use to off Sarita? Gun? no, as he could not bring himself to shoot her. Poison? Well, it is hard to get away with it. I think it might be more in character for Vik to plot something that will be designed to look like an accident. Also, I think that it is hard to plan a perfect murder, and it might take time. The CVs might show some hits and misses and some botched attempts, where Sarita miraculously escapes with her life. All this time, Vik will play the cat and mouse game with Sarita. A cat plays with its prey and tortures it relentlessly by allowing it to escape repeatedly, while being in full control of it at all times. The CVs might extend this planning track, where all the while, Vik is sweet as jaggery on the surface, but a plotting predator underneath. I think that more than the murder itself, what excites Vik is the stalk-and-reveal game --a slow game of torture, culminating, finally, in the exposure and complete destruction of the betrayer. In this process, Vik will discover that he likes this game so much that he might forget that the game is really a means to an end. This highly addictive game will become an end in itself and, hopefully, it will dawn on Vik that if he annihilates Sarita, he will have to stop playing the game, and go back to his lonely shell of the workaholic life. Simply put, there will be no one to play it with. Vik will perhaps realize that, paradoxically, even in betrayal, he relies on Sarita to play his game, to provide companionship and togetherness that his heart yearns for. There is camaraderie in distrust; and intense hatred often veils one's love. How will Vik's character grow? How will he be shown to redeem himself? Let's wait and watch.
