Some thoughts (perhaps most of them I've mentioned before):
- This is supposed to be the climax bit of the track but it has been handled in a very lame way. Climaxes are supposed to be the exciting not dragging. They can drag, as in it can last few eps, but it has to be exciting, with new info dropped, new revelations dropped along with a few surprises - sometimes even illogical but hopefully within the limits of creative liberty.
- That brings me to something I've mentioned before - the hotel thing was much bigger than this one... they already left the peak there and are now on a flat plateau. Which also makes me think they may even let Rajeev go free. Things did play out quite casually - the incident happened a day after his plan flopped... was it actually necessary for this to have anything to do with Teej? Add to it the current family meeting, where the topic goes all over the place.
- When Nimmi saw Ammu, she hugged her immediately - but not her family members when she saw them. Could've gone to 'Virat Bhai' after all she was crying out his name through the abuse. Could've hugged her dad. Could've ran to mom and said 'I cant take this anymore.' It would've played out differently. There are chances, and some scenes are shown to the effect, that the family has been too aloof about her... and somehow Ammu has done enough to make her trust her.
- The thing played out as another Ammu v/s Babs battle. Is that to give more importance to Ammu? Or is that to show Babs is "so very bad"? Both of these are not important. It had to be about Nimmi... but sadly, it isn't.
- it isn't with Virat too, who made it about himself. This private talk with Ammu / even being alone and fighting with your own thoughts is fine if it happens after you have dealt with the situation - which may be in any way... from beating Rajeev black and blue, getting him arrested, or even killing him. This was not the time for retrospection. May be that was a good VA moment... idk... but it felt so very out of place. Perhaps it was done so that the family doesn't know about the hotel incident... but why? or rather, why shouldn't they?
- Family meeting... like said before, matches the situation if Nimmi announces she wants a divorce when no abuse has happened. There are important meetings that happen in families - in good or bad situations - but not when some member of the family has just been abused... many a times in the heat of the moment people will do bad things too (the reason I mentioned 'killing' him above.)
- In between all this Rajeev was standing in the bg, perhaps looking for his opportunity to manipulate... which he got through Babs.
- someone here mentioned Ammu may get blamed (or the cam thing wont work) and it will only be then that Nimmi breaks out... That was much better than what they've shown. It is important that Nimmi breaks loose... but dont think even that will happen. Badly enough, her silence will put Ammu in trouble too - she knows quite a lot of 'kands' that Babas did - around the mela eps. So she's perhaps going 'save me but I wont say anything that will help you, cause my all pure mom will get exposed'.
[oops... that was long. In short... as always writing has been underwhelming. ]
