Hi folks! Its been a while! well the last two weeks of the show has been...well VERY good. well, atleast the week before last was. last was ok.
lets start with Dhanak. FINALLY, jo desperation raghu k pyaar mein humesha tha, i saw it in dhanak's love too. initially i thought her plan was to simply keep testing raghu till he spits out that he doesnt want to marry maya. the same kind of test maayi gives him- the do you love me test. but i was instead VERY pleasantly surprised when she said fudge all the rules, he's MY husband and I will do whatever necessary for him. i loved this because it showed some small but gradual decay in the char boondo wala safedi that was dhanak. love strengthens but it also corrupts. it takes us down paths we dont imagine ever going. if you compare the dhanak of day 1 who used to threaten police complaint for loud noise- now she has chosen to keep drug crimes a secret (this could and should get her fired) to keep raghu with her. im very excited and hopeful that writers will explore this and take dhanak down greyer paths.
BUT ofcourse all good things must come to a still. so does dhanak's intellect. again chalu dhanak k bewakoofiyon aur typical serial lead wale 'good intention' harkathe. instead of being dhasu and figuring out the most obvious thing in the world- that maayi is trying to keep her and raghu apart and focusing on fixing that situation, she's thinking about everything but whats within her scope. like every tv heroine, it feels like dhanak also waits for things to get bad via sheer inaction.
now she actively disrespected everything maayi had to say about bharat and brought him home. one must admit, yeh khud hi maayi ko ungli karti hain from day 1 and then cries wolf when maayi makes it difficult. maayi clearly told her- my husband was not a good man. you dont believe maayi? then research- information is key. par nahi she decided that the best thing for a fully adult raghu is to have a father rn and just brought him home without any karvayi. i mean come on! just because you saw him teach some kids for free, hes a good person? jan toh lo ke 25 years ago hua kya tha! dhanak doesnt know why maayi hates her husband. for all she knows, he was an alcoholic who used to beat maayi every night. does raghu really need to know such a man? yet somehow its dhanak's decision to make?!?
but you know what would be good for raghu and may not have terrible consequences- getting a career and actually starting a family life with Dhanak rather than mahine mein 1 baar shaadi karna (WHO IS PAYING FOR ALL THESE?!?) aur ghar beth ke aayi aur bai k jhagde niptana. i toh think he should be a full time stunt man. problem kya hain bhai? waise bhi it doesnt seem like being a pav bhaji wala is any less dangerous for him anyways. this move by dhanak seems quite disrespectful- being a woman you should never taunt another woman's past tragedies. savitri maayi didnt want to birth her son in whatever situation bharat jadav put her in. kal ko dhanak ko bhi wohi situation na dekhni pade.
