I haven't watched Nandini.

Clarification: Nandini is a character on Sundarā Manāmadhe Bharalī. She is pretending to consider Daulat's marriage proposal, so Taramati advised her to reject him. Nothing to do with a TV show called Nandini, which I haven't watched either.

Abhya, Lati, Ashu, Vikya, Sajjan, M.K., and Nandini seem ready to do anything, no matter how criminal, to win. They have committed kidnapping and witness tampering (offering Rs. 10 lakh for testimony). It may not be a crime to steal back the original property papers that Daulat stole through Hema and Kamini, but stealing the hard disk is a crime.

Is there any "fruit of the poisoned tree" principle in Indian law, by which the stolen hard disk and any further discovery based on the CCTV footage would be inadmissible in court?

Anyway, I liked the irony that Daulat lied about Bhanupriya stealing cash and gold, and now the rival political party wants to investigate why Ābā had those nonexistent valuables. Maybe Sajjan can turn over something really incriminating from those files.

Has Hema forgotten to water that plant today? Maybe if the plant dies, someone will dig it up and ask Hema why she buried Daulat's bracelet.

It's difficult enough to suspend disbelief that Ābā has committed twenty-eight forgeries to steal farmland all over the pañcakrośī and all of the victims kept quiet. They couldn't afford to go to court, I accept that. They were afraid to talk to reporters, neighbours, NGOs, I accept that. But not one hunger strike, not one suicide note! These were people who lived off their land, but all of them just digested the shock of losing everything, and did what? Migrated to the city to work as day labourers, or stayed on to milk cows when satellite pastures of Ābā's dairy popped up on their farmland? And the neighbours didn't talk!

Remember when Daulat was telling Abhimanyu's manager to withhold his pay? Ābā explained to Daulat that they should let Abhimanyu fall behind on mortgage payments for several months and make it look like foreclosure on the academy land was their last resort. Remember when it was a problem that Sajjan had given Abhimanyu the loan on his own credit, and Ābā wanted the Jahagirdar farmland as collateral afterwards? If Ābā had a history of forging signatures, all of this subtlety was for nothing!

Forget subtlety! Ābā's current plot is dangerously stupid. Is "take her to the farmhouse" an expression for rape that zamindar villains always use in Indian movies and TV? Anyway, Ābā expects that Daulat will do atyācāra to Nandini, and Nandini will do nothing but marry Daulat. What century is this? Aren't there special fast-track courts just for these offences? Even if the chances were 50-50 between dowry and a criminal record, would any politician take those odds? And considering that Nandini is a confident woman who talks about breaking up with her boyfriend and publicly acted enamoured of a married man (with her father's approval), it's ridiculous folly of Ābā to think that rape would shame her into marriage. Even if Nandini didn't call the police, she could just go to live in Mumbai, right?

This time, I have a positive comment. The scenes of Abhya and Lati as a couple in love have been handled with good taste. What a relief that the talk about rocking the cradle is balanced with them feeling comfortable together! They can't flirt because they're grieving for Indu, but still Abhya wants to feed each other and Lati agrees. I liked that there was no unnecessary blushing just because she's a woman. And when Abhya snapped at Lati for setting the alarm, she said sorry and he said sorry, instead of the phaṇā kāḍhalā dialogues of their friendship stage.

I hope that we'll get to see some moments of them in love and having fun too.

All of a sudden, Ashu picks up a stick and turns into a wife-beater! Why? It doesn't make the scene of trying to throw Hema out of the house more dramatic. It doesn't erase Hema's crimes, or stem from Ashu's alcoholism, but I can smell where this is going: Hema and Ashu will both apologize, both forgive, and decide to give their marriage a chance. Because divorce is unthinkable. Two people who resent each other for good reasons should just spend their lives together.

Ashu deserves a visit to jail. Hema should also serve time for her crimes. Ābā should do hard time for trying to cripple Abhya and those 28 forgeries, plus beating Taramati. Daulat deserves a life sentence for murder. Just to be fair, Bāpū and Sajjan (and his parents) should spend a few hours in pillory for that dowry deal.

Am I forgetting any criminals on this show? I guess Kamini wasn't murdered after all; Hema recognized her voice on the phone. So, Kamini can visit jail for stealing Lati's maṅgaḷasūtra, drugging her etc.

By the way, Daulat forcibly marrying Nandini is boring. It's not a legal marriage without consent, and so Daulat's stated intention to rape and impregnate Nandini wouldn't be marital rape (which is not a crime in India); it would be prosecutable.

Is it because the forcible wedding is illegal that the kanyādāna comes after saptapadī? After the seventh step, a consenting bride would be a vadhū entitled to her in-law family, not a kanyā to be given away by her parents.

I'm just trying to find something worth a comment amidst the ridiculousness of the fight scenes. Appā slapping the officiant around was believable, but I don't think M. K. could stand up against one of those suvāsinī mercenaries, let alone take down burly security guards.

Are we supposed to believe that the police have Hema's statement accusing Daulat of murder, and Nandini's driver's statement accusing him of kidnapping, but they need Nandini to comment on a text message? If they think the text message has any credibility, they could just arrest M. K. on suspicion of beating his daughter, in addition to arresting Daulat for murder and kidnapping.

great going. i had left watching this after aba and hema replaced

I cheer for Latika almost always, but making Hema look stupid to prop Latika is distasteful to me. Latika shouldn't need to be all-knowing. She's fine as a woman who knows how to support her family.

How does Latika know that Kamini is safe in Mumbai and just doesn't want to come home? Is Latika friends with Kamini now? No, that's too implausible; it must be Latika's magical powers. When Hema talked to Kamini twice using Daulat's phone, why did she think Kamini was his prisoner? Didn't we see Kamini being bundled into a car? This Miss Maharashtra pageant, of which no one had heard, is suddenly real? Was there so much viewer sympathy for Hema that the writers had to wipe out her excuse for weeks of agitation and weeping while she kept Daulat's secret?

Hema refusing to open the door should have been a tragic scene of desperation. Wasn't Abhimanyu inside the house? Why not show him inexorably opening the door to let the police in? No, it had to be turned into comedy with Latika pretending to talk to Kamini and Hema stupidly falling for it. Who needs trained police to do their job when we have Latika?

By the way, there was no need for Latika or anyone to slap Hema. It looked petty and diminished the seriousness of Hema's betrayal.

I'm enjoying the comedy scenes with Lati and Abhya bickering. They've had a month to grieve for Indu, so it's all right to see them finding small joys in daily life. The "husband can't cook" joke is old, but the writers resisted hyperbole and showed that Abhya is being thoughtful and earnest in his effort. He's planning and choosing and taking stock; he knows when he's out of options. Abhya lived away from home for his studies (from which time he knows Nandini), so he should be able to feed himself, if not others.

Abhya calling Lati to the hole in the wall was cute, but ... When are they going to tear down the brick wall between the Jahagirdar and Dhumal houses?

The puraṇapoḷī that Lati flipped looked already done from both sides, and quite brittle, but I guess putting it on the tavā and getting the scene in one take must be tricky.

It seems realistic that Taramati still covers her head as she has for so many years. I hope her own personality will come out gradually in her dressing.

Nandini must need more counselling. She just ate puraṇapoḷī and she wants ice cream too!

was just watching old sundera old epi
