Wow some really good debate points are being made here!
I'm with everyone on the fact that if this was a real life situation as opposed to reel, then we would all want Indu as far away from Sanchi and her family as possible. In a real life scenario would it be possible for him to redeem himself and win hearts all around? Maybe as after all this would all be based in ultra conservative and traditional India.
Personally I think India gets a helluva lot of flak at times for not being 'forward thinking' enough, which in some instances might be right. But this doesn't mean that in the never ending quest of self-progression, current Indian mentality towards marriage, womens rights and divorce should be completely discarded at the wayside.
Marriage is a a scared bond that people should enter, with the thought firmly entrenched in their minds that it is a lifetime commitment they are making from their end. Divorce should always be a last resort, when all options to save the marriage are exhausted. If one partner in the marriage is suffering and being slowly destroyed, then they have every right as a self-respecting human to free themselves.
Now I'm huge supporter of the GP movement but even I say that the rights of a woman in a marriage should never ever supersede the rights of a man. Rather they should be equal to a man's. If man degrades his wife and is torturing her, full rights and power to the wife to leave him. But is also vice versa, if a woman is abusing her husband in a marriage and making him dance recklessly to her every whim, then he has every right to leave her.
The fact that marriage is so sacred and carries so much weight and authority, is the reason why I'm so angry at Indu. Yes I agree that what he did to Sanchi by forcing her to marry him was wrong and criminal. But the insult he gave the bond of marriage was even worse. He not only used his marriage to Sanchi to degrade and humiliate her at every turn, but he furthermore abused the whole notion of marriage by abandoning her! What an ass! How dare he make a mockery of marriage?! Then he has the nerve after insulting this sacred bond, to use it as a weapon to rein in and abuse Sanchi!
Ugh I hate Sanchi for taking advantage of Indu's love, but I hate him just as much for using and abusing the bond of marriage!
Coming back to the point I know a lot of people feel that by forcing Sanchi to marry him, was the height of his cruelty towards her. But IMO Sanchi to played a hand in having this rista forced on her. What possessed her to not only promise Indu that she would happily marry him, but also cement her vow, with an solemn handshake?! She didn't just agree to a deal with Indu, she bloody dictated the terms and conditions of that deal as she initiated it! If he got her the property papers she swore that she would be his!
Then she not only backed out when it came to fulfilling her end of the bargain that she made, but she spat in his face by having him arrested! And to add injury she announced to the whole world vis the press, how she had taken advantage of his love, for her own gains, and rewarded him with nothing but tears and public suffering.
I agreed and sort of cheered as she used Veenaji's fake suicide to get out being forced to marry Indu. But I reeled with disgust and anger at the way she used his love selfishly to get what she wanted, and then punished him (for a crime that for once he was innocent for!) with jail!
I'm sorry I'm firm believer that two wrongs never make a right. Sanchi in my eyes will never ever be justified or excused for how in that instance, she made a tamasha and blatant two finger salute towards Indu's love for her.
And similarly although I can understand why Indu forced Sanchi to fulfill her end of the agreement she made, by marrying him, I will despise and never agree with how he degraded so publicly the pavitra rista of marriage.
So again IMO both Indu and Sanchi have some work to do in redeeming themselves. Indu must learn to truly give izzat to other's self-respect, and like Sanchi said work on being a damn good hubby. The duffer must learn to respect himself and his wife, by getting a job and building a career and standing on his own two feet. Indu needs to make Sanchi realize that his love and that he himself can be a prize well worth fighting for.
And Sanchi madam must, please I beg you CV's, learn to respect and not consider herself above the power of love! She can hate and insult Indu as much as she wants, but I swear I will lose it if she keeps taking advantage of his love for her! He told her before that his heart is no plastic toy to be played with, but Sanchi still treats it as one! Sanchi needs to not forget her roots, and her original goals in life also in her quest for revenge and one up-manship. Huh she calls Indu a gawar yet her own beloved folks are less educated then him!
