Before I watched the episode today, I was sure I am going to hate it.
I loved the first half of today's episode(except for Radha Rani - the actress got on my nerves..) Malati Devi acted very well. My favorite scene was when the police came back for Sadanand! Splendid! Have been waiting for that for a long time.. Indu Singh as always was awesome. Not sure of Saanchi this time around. Didn't say a word. Didnt have to.
The second half - I agree Saanchi did not have any choices available to her but since the onset of the show her character has been built as a smart girl honorable girl. So I do not agree with the method the CVs chose for her to solve this situation. Again we have a stop gap solution which has the potential to spin its wheels. Is dishonesty the only way to fight corruption? Is that what we want impressionable young girls to think and follow? Agreed Saanchi does not have to love or get married to Indu Singh - he is a goon, but the smart girl has to use her clever brain to come up with a long term solution which vibes well with the audience and make us like her, respect her,and applaud her actions. Isn't that the basis on the show? Otherwise, how is Saanchi different from Radha Rani or Shobha Rani?
Other things that dont add up:
-- Her mom went to a hospital - her vital signs were not checked by the medical people to see if she is really not faking it? She was just pretending to sleep??? Hello!!!
-- The police was so afraid of Indu Singh before. What changed?
-- She does not want to marry Indu Singh, but is she so short sighted that she wants such a powerful guy working against her? Why does she think Indu Singh and Sadanand shouldn't join forces against her now? She just got back the property papers not the house.
-- Last time when Indu Singh found out about her scheme he was super mad. Why does she not anticipate worse when he finds out about this? That's the spinning wheels part.
-- What happened to college? Is she even going to classes anymore?
The marriage bit is dragging too much(2 months and counting..). Either do it or not, move on to another problem CVs.
