Hyderabad ka Don in Action

Credit to the poster but I really loved this video. It's the rough and tough side of our favorite don that got me hooked to this show, frankly. Warna, the gangster with the heart of gold was just getting old on ITV... I hope we never stop seeing this side of his. I don't mind some fight scenes from time to time. This video also reminded of the attitude with which he went to Jagdish Anna and threatened him while still having a bloody face and just walked all over him. Showed him who the real Anna is.

Exactly why I am here too

In a way, I like that Raghav is giving Pallavi a good reality check in my view, in his don avatar. She wants to expand the emporium and get a space in the mall, when she does not have enough money to break even and is already shouldering so many expenses for Manasi's wedding too. Kaka might be earning too, no doubt, but it is Pallavi who is helping in running that house despite all the losses. Now she will be encouraged to embrace the e-commerce option, which is easier to manage, and do meaningful things independently to first get those previous dues cleared, post which she can also easily get an investor and the expansion will make much more sense!

She's still living in lala land and he's there to show her that things are not going to work by the book. On the other hand, he may be shameless, unethical, etc. but even people like him try to remain decent with people like Pallavi. No matter how angry he gets, there's a line he would never cross.

I love how Pallavi wants this business to grow and reach new heights, but if that did not happen in the few years she has been handling the shop and they are just about able to manage, she needs to be brought back to reality. Also speaking from a purely business standing, makes sense to rent the shop to someone else who can pay the rent on time and stuff if there have been issues for years on that front. Raghav wont actually throw her out, even she sorta recognised how he is there just to scare her and make her play her turn. But it is important for her to realise how unrealistic the prospect is, and Raghav is a perfect catalyst for that because he can see the other side. Also somewhere I think this entire thing has not worked out because this is Mandar's dream more than Pallavi's and she has been doing it out of duty till now, rather than with true passion for it, something Raghav's challenge is making her do.

Exactly. That is why I hope they won't mellow down his character once he's in love. I hate that a character takes a 360 degree change because of love. Yes love does change people for the better. But the nature doesn't change. I want raghav to retain his roughness and unapologetic attitude😊

This is exactly what I said to my mum last night! We both watch it then discuss it during our evening calls!😊

Spot on! She needs that fire to burn within her for her own self, not her late husband or the family, otherwise it won't be sustainable. She is getting wake up calls from time to time but Raghav is pushing her into a corner so that she has to go with a fight or flight response to survive. So far she has chosen to fight and that has started to break down barriers in her mind. He wasn't kidding when he said she had some 'rubbish' in her head that was getting in the way. His words were crude but he had a point that she lacked that laser focus that is so much needed at this point. It's not just about Raghav's challenge. She's been cooking the books for 2 years but at some point she needs to realize that she can't and shouldn't hide it from the family. Nikhil is helping with the household expenses but we all know he's gonna get in trouble and that source of income may dry up. Speaking of which, Raghav hasn't met Nikhil yet on the 'professional' side yet, has he? I believe Nikhil has always worked with Harish directly, who had suggested that Anna and the boy should meet. He will be in quite a spot then, won't he, because he now knows that family and may be reluctant to involve Nikhil further in his illegal activities.

Re: renting it out to someone else, yes it makes good business sense, but I believe Raghav is so rich that it won't hurt him, not yet at least. It's just his playground for now.

You and everyone else, sister. I hate this notion of the FL trying to change the ML completely and making that her mission. If you want to change the person, why get together with them in the first place. Sure, there are some things he can control, such as his temper and his illegal activities, but if you change him he won't be Raghav Rao anymore.

So far all we have ever heard her talk about is how the shop is Baba's legacy and she'd love to take it forward and live up to their dreams and make them proud, rather than her own satisfaction with the success. It is always in relation to what the Deshmukhs have expected of her.

She is getting wake up calls from time to time but Raghav is pushing her into a corner so that she has to go with a fight or flight response to survive. So far she has chosen to fight and that has started to break down barriers in her mind.

Indeed, ever since the first time he burned the stock and then barged into the shop with this sense of air that he can do anything with it, the cogs in her head started moving and she started to fight for the shop for her own self in some sense, rather than the others. Let us not ignore how she started not just taking some decisions that went beyond the conventional thinking, but also disregarded her Baba and his logic for the first time.

He wasn't kidding when he said she had some 'rubbish' in her head that was getting in the way. His words were crude but he had a point that she lacked that laser focus that is so much needed at this point. It's not just about Raghav's challenge. She's been cooking the books for 2 years but at some point she needs to realize that she can't and shouldn't hide it from the family.

I guess Kirti did indicate it to her in the first few episodes and even Krishna mentioned it once or twice how she should not do that since it will indeed cause her a lot of trouble if they find out what has been happening. It will blow up to the point where she will be blamed for much more than she is actually responsible for. Also she is taking on more than her capacity, and Raghav is making her realise that it is not possible for her to jump when it is her time to walk!

Nikhil is helping with the household expenses but we all know he's gonna get in trouble and that source of income may dry up.

Nikhil is being a perfect brother, he did not go and blurt out to the parents about the financial troubles but it took it on himself to help, and I love that. No, Raghav has seen a glimpse of him at Manasi's ceremony when he came to take Pallavi to the hospital but not formally met him. Yes, it is going to be a messed up scenario once they actually meet and Raghav realises he is from the Deshmukh fam.

Re: renting it out to someone else, yes it makes good business sense, but I believe Raghav is so rich that it won't hurt him, not yet at least. It's just his playground for now.

Raghav is not interested in that prospect at all, that was just my observation for logic! 😆

No court will deny him the right to ask for evacuation (ofcourse with the one-month notice) on that grounds.
