I didnot like mother slapping Rudra :( - Page 5

The mother's scene was awkward and looked out of place. I think it was included to reawaken the anguish of his runaway mother & set his anger rolling towards Paro manifold!!!

I deffo did not like the slap, the words where enough.

Personally I couldn't understand that scene either.

I felt the same . The slap was not needed.

i agree the outburst of a common man's mother but not justified the emotions of a solider's mother ...

no offense to mothers and their trauma

Isn't a soldier's mother human? Did she go through some special training to teach her that the only thing she should feel is pride if her son falls in the line of duty. Why isn't she allowed to lose control of her emotions when she finds out her child is dead and she's not even allowed to see his body, let alone touch him. At the end of the day a mother is a mother and no one has the right to dictate how she should have behaved when she lost her child. She was expecting her son home for lunch and he never came and she was in shock and she lashed out at the first person who she could hold accountable and if it's true that the army would take action against a mother who behaved in this way in this situation then that's just too sad. She wanted answers, to know from her son's commanding officer why he came home when her son didn't.

I think the CVs overstepped here in trying to show the inner turmoil Rudra was going through over the loss of his men.

People react to grief in different ways and I think this reaction from an uneducated village woman was actually quite a realistic representation of shock. I actually found the words she said at the end worse than the slap but I guess they were necessary to tie into the next scene.

Just because it's the expected norm to behave a certain way doesn't mean everyone will.

I think it's perfectly acceptable for a mom to be overcome with grief. No one is going to hold that against her, that she couldn't remain composed.

I think the blame going on and the way she spoke to Rudra and called into question the very thing he stood for is what's off putting. Isn't Rudra putting himself in the same kind of danger, day in and day out. If today it was her son, tomorrow it can be Rudra. And this is something that army families understand when a loved one signs up...that the soldiers are all there with the common goal. To a soldier, the life of any one of his men is equally important and there is a sense of brotherhood among them all.

Her reaction hits a cord, especially of those that have some sort of army affiliation.

I have a family member who has seen active service and a distant relative who lost his life in active service. I have the utmost respect for the way in which the families of army personnel conduct themselves in times of loss.
