I wanted to mention the difference in Pinto Singh slaps and the intended Tuntun Singh slap...since we are talking about the show and the slaps towards women.
Pinto Singh claims himself to be man of actions and not words. But he does give a chance for the erring party in his eyes, to correct themselves.
Let's see him first handling men.
In the temple scene, when men are teasing Krishna, he warns them and no collar-holding and punchinh happens. Okay good!
Then let's go cinema theater scene. Pinky is teased, she complains to Pinto twice. And the first words that he says to eve-teasing men are of warning, but the very next moment, he does his collar-holding, grabbing and punching. An unwarranted fight without giving the opportunity for the men to speak because he believes they were in wrong. But most of the viewers did comment on that day, if the bashing stemmed out from his pent up anger from last few days against Krishna and somehow taking it out in that fashion. The people in theater, the security gaurds all admonish Pinto for his brashness and so the show producers did their part of giving the message to people that you just cannot start punching people just like that. Yes, he gets salvaged only because of Krishna supporting him, else he would have been in trouble especially as he did not give one single chance for the men he was beating to talk about something. What will that show when police investigation happens ???
Now let's go to Ravi, Vidya's employer place, where Pinto seeing high words and man-handling going on towards Vidya, he just goes, grabs the collars of the man again and starts his action..this time only to be stopped by Krishna and which he agrees to. Again a message is given...not to take law in his hands...basically don't go for physical fights before verbal confrontations.
Now let's come to Pinto Singh handling FRENZY-CRAZY females.
In both the slaps that he gave to Krishna or Pinky, I saw a man, who just knew how to beat sense in a frenzy woman. While in Krishna's case, he had done plenty of pleading and explaining before he slaps her, in Pinky's case, he had done plenty of controlling his anger at Pinky's unruly, bullish and high-handed behaviour and when in the restaurant scene, when Pinky goes on even after him warning her to stop in verbal way, he resorts to his action. ...stopped by Krishna. Both the times he had regretted that it had to happen. In the last actual slap to Pinky in front of her house, he was in total control of himself and his emotions and he reacted only to a frenzy woman, slapped her to arrest her actions; at which he fails and only left to push her away again. This time he had no regrets for his action. He just had disgust for the woman.
Let's now discuss Tuntun Singh's intended slap to his wife Ganga Devi.
I cannot talk about this considering the gravity of it. It was an actual action of reproach from Tuntun Singh at his wife actually finding words before him...something that may have caused him dismay and his disapproval at the breach of trust by his wife according to him. But in the same exact manner it was a reproachable action to Ganga Devi from her husband, a breach of trust of the relationship they have had for all these years. And this pain was something to see.
Anyways, things were all instanteous there...Tuntun stops himself as he sees his wife's expression, his younger son asking his father to stop himself in a fearful voice. As it relents again to verbal drama, we have the whole drama put an end to by his grandson's crying.
What to do we want to say about this slap ? Coz, I will leave it at that as something of a private matter of Tuntun's family. Not everything needs to be looked through Police eyes. Not every range of action can be judged in terms of decorum and code of conduct.
