It was really painful to see a disabled Badi Bi trying futilely to get free.This un-ending violence against the elderly in QH is really appalling! Yes in the olden days, in movies, the villain's entry was accompanied by them hitting a child or kicking a dog. That was the shortcut to identifying an actor as a villain. Usually that kind of abuse stopped thereafter.
But this incessant violence against Badi Bi is really disturbing, distasteful and unnecessary. PH, we've got the message. Razia is a villain. She is a murderer. Psychopath most likely. She and Badi Bi are involved in a game of one-upmanship. But this could be played out with a little more finesse, not gross violence.
This PH seems to want to carve a niche for itself in portraying gut-churning cruelty against the elderly. It didn't turn a hair in showing appalling cruelty against the elderly in previous serials (Shyam vs Payal's dad in IPK, which left the latter seriously disabled till the end). And it continues its callous way in QH.
But really, I'd be hard put to find a viewer who enjoys this level of cruelty. Honestly, my reactions veer between wince, cringe or gag. Like me I'm sure many viewers have grandparents who watch this serial, and these scenes are really quite nasty and disturbing for them too.
PH, if you are reading, please tone down this gratuitous violence against the elderly. It is simply not needed.
