Just began watching this serial, thanks for the awesome video updates and written updates!! I really love the show and it's currently my favourite drama!
After watching most of the episodes I've noticed that the past life has similarities to the old Dilip Kumar-Vijayantimala movie Madhumati (1958). In that movie Dilip was a guy from the city who came to work for a Thakur and fell in love with an uneducated village girl. The Thakur saw Dilip's drawing of her and decided he wanted her, and got the munim to keep dilip doing the accounts until late while he tried to attack her, which happed in PKDN too. Also later the Thakur lured Vijayantimala to the haveli saying Dilip was injured there and then tried to attack her, and she killed herself to stop him. Dilip then proves the Thakur caused her death before killing himself. I'm not sure if the end of the past bit in PKDN will be the same, but in the movie Dilip and Vijayantimala had been reincarnated and were happily married in their present lives.
Just thought you might want to know, didn't know if anyone had said about this before!
