They might need a Jupiter sized dabba to white wash trashraj now coz makers dont seem to back down from their mission anymore.I am pissed today but more than that hurt and curious to know the reason as to why did they write a scene with Anuj and V being a witness to her break down. Why the hell do men have to be weaved in every story even when the narrative doesnt require themš”š”š” Recently, Greys anatomy had an episode with a domestic violence and sexual abuse survivor. During the epi, the actor who played the survivor(also a real abuse survivor herself) was feeling shame and fear to the point she dint want to be treated for her wounds and she whimpered at the sight of a man so all the women in the hospital line the halls with other women co workers and prohibited any man to enter. The scene itself was an inspiration from a true incident at a hospital in Virginia, USA. The director once said, we dint require a man to remind us we are strong coz this fight is personal for our species and we sisters are enough to show solidarity!! Mukku's outburst today would have been more powerful if that vulnerable yet powerful moment was just between her and Anu coz they were enough!!š«š«š
Episode begins with Anuj wishing he was dead instead of being witness to such a nightmare that is eating up his sister. Just when he finds solace on Anu's laps, Vanraj makes an entry. Honestly I am out of vocabulary to even understand why would makers fit him in this track??like why??why? š¤¢š¤®
Back at shah's, most of them are relieved to know the kapadias are fine. Someone really need to shut Kavya right now, like right now or am going to throw something at her. Seriously, what have they done to her character man.. her cribbing and nagging have reached new levels of annoyanceš¤Æš¤Æ she is again instigating Pakhi against Anu stating 'Mukku and her bhai are a priority to Anu and not you' ..like who does that? They all write their New year desires on paper chits, greet each other and go to sleep and Kanhaji couldnt be more thankfulš
Vanraj is seen consoling Anuj with his trademark dialogue ' mein bhi ek bhai hoon' yes you are the brother who constantly reminded your sister of all the sacrifices you made for her and when she questioned a decision of yours, you wanted her to forgo her share of property! Waaah! The whole I am there for you monologue made my skin crawl. Anuj/Gaurav's expressions to his craps summed up everything for me. I could write pages here decoding his expressions but his face deffo screamed "Kya ch@$#&pa hai"!!šš
Anu nursing Mukku's wounds by asking her to let out the anger and hurt with the bg of Rahman's Bombay theme was haunting!! The scene personally hit me coz when I saw my mom going through this almost kissing death everyday, my only solace and light in the darkness was Ar rahmans music. Music from Roja and bombay felt healing and hopeful and today listening to it felt like life has come a full circle!! The music actually has lyrics in the movie towards the climax and one of the lines in tamil quotes "Vidiyathu iraivendrum vaanil illai, oli odu oli serattum" which means there is no night sky that doesnt turn into dawn...a line apt for Mukku or any trauma survivors. This too shall pass!!
Precap- Vanraj takes over as the angel guardian of the house when he says Anu Men should change for this to change. Ahem! Ahem! Anuj is missing and Anu drags Mukku to go look out for him. I think they are throwing her a surprise party may be. Anu was dressed in the bts pics we all saw!
Verdict- the impact of the message that makers wanted to convey lost its plot when they decided to include an abuser himself in the narrative. Epi dint work for me at all! I will leave few clips of trashraj down here for the new fans who are here post Anuj's entry. Now you guys tell me if he is indeed the most appropriate person for this track. Dhanyavad!!
