FV said that he thought that he had solved everything by getting all his daughters married, but now, after leaving, it doesn't seem to be the case. Takes the example of Shradhya, who he gave to Rohit, from a good Kolhapur family. She used to be all smiles the last 3 years, and so he thought that she was happy. But was that for real?
Shradhya is dusting a wedding portrait of herself & Rohit, when he enters. Rohit comes in and covers his eyes so that he doesn't have to be seen by Shradhya π€, while she uses her pallu to cover her face so that he can't see her π€’ He tells her that they have been invited to a party by Sajjerao, and to get ready. Shradhya protests that she can't attend any party due to her father's demise, and he tells her to drop that, since it's been 15 days already. He tells her that she starts her nagging every time Sajjerao invites them - does she have a problem w/ him? Shradhya tells him that she doesn't have a problem w/ him, but doesn't like the type of people he has over. Rohit tells her that instead of hand to hand, they have cheek to cheek, and is that what she has a problem w/? Shradhya agrees. Rohit tells her that he has no problems w/ anybody putting his hands on her waists π€’ He makes lakhs in new business there. And even if they touch her, so what? He tells her that it's not different from her touching other people when she's in a bus or rickshaw. He orders her to be ready and walk there - don't take rickshaw - and wait for him and they'll enter together. He then tells her to leave, as he's not interested in seeing her face (that's why they were so aloof @ the wedding) Shradhya leaves.
As Shradhya walks away, FV narrates that he now understands how fake her happiness was, and how painful her silence. π
Neeraj enters his room and sits down sadly, recollecting his accidentally bumping into Sandhya. He is hurt over her having married someone else after so much of his searching for her π Just then, everybody comes in and scolds him over going there w/o meeting anyone. Neeraj tells them that he had just arrived but was tired, and was planning to meet them in the morning. Sandhya's MIL says that Neeraj is the guy who'd come and amuse everybody, and now he's complaining that he's tired? There must be something more to it. Neeraj assures her that there ain't, and Sandhya agrees (In Gwalior, they're speaking Marathi, w/ Neeraj addressing her as choti-aai? Or is Yuvraj a Marathi family?) She suggests that Neeraj rests, so that he is fresh in the morning. Sandhya's FIL agrees, and they all leave Neeraj to rest. Next morning, the family comes out of their room, as RR watches on.
Mohan is alone w/ someone in a room, and tells him that nobody knows the connection b/w them, but not to meet him from now on, or he'll get into trouble. He asks him to try calling him (the suspect). The other person tries, and gets him. The suspect begs him not to rat, and Mohan's companion asks him where he is. Just then, Mohan grabs the phone from him and demands to know why he killed his FIL? He tells him that the cops recognize his writing, and would get him! The suspect tells him that he did not murder his FIL, and cuts the call. Mohan's friend tells him that the reason he cut the call was that Mohan was angry, and so the suspect was afraid. He tells him that they need to make him confident, so that he opens up about what really happened.
Friend calls him again, and suspect is about to slam the phone, but answers it and protests that he didn't do anything. Friend tells Maruti (this is the suspect's name) that he's known him for years, and that he couldn't have done any of it. But if he didn't, how did the society get hold of his handwriting? Maruti tells him that he was paid Rs5000 to write a suicide note as a joke, and assured him that he won't get into trouble (apparently, Maruti is not one of the brighter kids on the block) So he went ahead and wrote the suicide note, w/o knowing that the person would actually go ahead and murder. π€ Now the cops are after him
Friend asks Maruti who they were, and Maruti tells him that he had no idea. He however tells him that he'd recognize him if he saw him again. Friend asks Maruti where he is @ the moment. Maruti tells him that he's in a hotel - the people who had him write the suicide note booked him in a hotel room so that he could lie low for a month. He tells him that he's suffocated there. Friend assures Maruti that it's the actual culprits who'll be punished, not him. Maruti tells him it's hotel Zaveri (that's what I could make out) and gives him the address in Ville Parle. Friend gets off and tells Mohan that Maruti is just a vehicle (no pun intended here π) to get to the real culprits, and they should take the cops w/ them.
Neeraj is on his laptop, scrolling thru old pics of Sandhya. He recalls the first time when he took those pictures, and a dancing Sandhya bumped into a tree. Neeraj went up to her then and asked her whether she didn't see it, and Shradhya or Shreya (couldn't make out exactly which one) came and told him that she was blind. But to get her confidence, she always tries experimenting w/ things. As they walked away, she told Sandhya that this was not their place, and that she could have been hurt w/ all that activity. Neeraj is wistful as he sees her photos, and then Yuvraj joins him.
Neeraj notices him just in time, and manages to delete the photos. Yuvraj grabs the laptop and asks to see the photos, and Neeraj asks what photos? Yuvraj tries to press him about the girl he was talking about, but Neeraj shakes off the question telling him that he was joking, and has forgotten it by now. Yuvraj ain't fully convinced, but tells him to join them, as everybody is waiting for him @ the table.
Mohan is @ the police station, and the cop tells him that he anticipated that Mohan would come, but not that quickly. Mohan tells the inspector that that day, while he denied knowing that man, he is here to tell him today that he did - that person's name was Maruti. He introduces the inspector to his friend Jagdish, and tells him that Jagdish was supposed to meet him @ the wedding that day to give him some documents and payments, but couldn't come, and therefore had send Maruti w/ those documents to meet him. He did meet Maruti and get the documents and money, and so out of courtesy sake, he invited him to stay & eat. After that, what he did, and where he is, he has no idea, but he's told the inspector all he knows.
The inspector asks Jagdish about him, and Jagdish tells him that Maruti lived nearby but had no job, so he used to do odd jobs for Jagdish & get paid by him. He tells the inspector that Mohan was innocent. The inspector tells him that he knew on the first day that Mohan was innocent, but he also knew that he knows Maruti.
The inspector then asks Jagdish where Maruti is, and Jagdish tells him that he's lying low in a hotel in Ville Parle. The inspector decides to get up and go meet him. Jagdish tells him that Maruti was innocent, but would recognize them by sight. The inspector asks them to join him in the car.
All are @ the dinner table eating, and as usual, Yuvraj is helping his visually challenged dulhan eat, and Neeraj watching it is quite uncomfortable. Yuvraj's dad notices Neeraj's discomfort. He asks him how is the new office, and Neeraj tells him everything is well (Blooper: Yuvraj's mom is choti aai, and Yuvraj's dad is bari papa for Neeraj? π€) Neeraj tells him that it's going on fine and people are very helpful. The RR character looks @ him suspiciously (I really wishe they'd introduce him - the suspense is getting annoying.)
Police enter the hotel that Maruti had given Jagdish. They meet w/ the manager @ the front desk (the attitude of the cops seemed needlessly confrontational) and the manager took them upstairs to Maruti's room. They knock on the door asking Maruti to open, and the inspector asks the manager for the duplicate key to that room. They get the duplicate card and enter the room, and find it a mess. The inspector asks them all to scour the room, while he himself picks up Maruti's phone w/ his handkerchief, and tells them that Maruti spoke to someone 15 minutes ago. Police continue scanning the room, retrieving an almost empty coke bottle (so Maruti was interrupted and made to leave?)
FV says that he feared that before any storm, the mind is fearful that everything will end, and after it's over, it thinks that nothing worse will happen, and that only good things will happen thereon. The scene moves to Mohan's home, where his relatives are comforting Shreya. FV continues that after his death, after the storm, everything will be forgotten, everything would come out clean, but instead, his death had taken away his protection from his daughters, while putting others under false suspicions. The storm is over, leaving in its wake suspicions about other people.
The police search the room, and just outside the window, Maruti is hanged from outdoors. FV concludes by saying that there are some stains that are so prominent that no storm can ever wash them away. Episode ends on dead Maruti's face. π€’π²
A very eventful episode, although not filled w/ activities of all the sisters. Nothing from Jayesh & Aditya's families today. Rohit turns out to be crass - while the type of party he was attending was not bad in itself, he's crass in forcing his wife to participate in it.
So whoever paid Maruti to write that suicide note talked to him 15 minutes b4 the police entry, and hanged him outside. Wonder whether Jayesh is the real culprit - one more suspect in the bag. Incidentally, why didn't the inspector confront Mohan on his doctoring the video-tape - is he still one of his suspects?
One thing about Maruti - given what we know about the hanging of the dad, the murderer would probably have had to have been well built to first strangle him, and then hang him from the ceiling. This suspect was too anaemic to pull that off, although he may well have been the one who gagged the LIP, assuming that he wasn't telling the truth.
Sandhya's father was worried about her getting a sasural, but looks like there are 2 guys who want/ed her. He need not have worried, and I hope he didn't make any unethical deals in order to get Sandhya married to Yuvraj, when he could just as easily have gotten Neeraj. However, since Yuvraj is Sandhya's hubby, this is the jodi I'm going to support, no matter how appealing Sandhya & Neeraj might be together.
Episode rating: ππΌ
