There are multiple things that can be panned with a heavily pregnant lawyer, if writers apply some brains.
Presume there will be appeal in another bench by Shekar, within these days left for R's execution order given by lower courts.
-Devika naturally passes out in next courts trial with real labour pain, or she just fakes to buy some extra time when Shekar has some evidence in favour of R. 😳
-Devika keeps provoking R in courts, R may jump & push her in rage before judge, then Devika cries pain & into labour to guilt trap R & get another attempt to life case filed on R so that she isn't out jail
-Other way, not just R, even R's Dadi can help Devika in labour so they get brownie points from Devika to help them
-Worst case Devika's new born child gets kidnapped from hospital after her delivery, she assumes R's family is taking revenge on her, so becomes more vengeful against R😒
R's & her families past can have impact if used well by D, in that still pending G custody case.
Anyhow why lawyer Devika is shown heavily pregnant..what writers want to showcase?😕 she knows her date is near but is still carelessly fighting an intense mentally & physically taxing criminal case till her due? so that she gets into labour within court hall? her child will get into some trouble?
there's foreshadowing we get in Kaveri's dialogues about Devika's child..
