Anna's house
Both women stare at each other. Subu Laxmi, continues, I believe that a gangsters wife should have more inner strength than the gangster, so that the wife with all her virtues can cleanse all his vices.. it's only my devotion to the gods that has safeguarded my husband up till now.Naku stares at this woman's eyes thinking, your husband lives to shorten my husband's life. Subu Laxmi smiles and turns to look at the deity and says, our destinies are similar Naku, but only one us will stay a married, while the other.. she turns to stare at Naku.. who glares at her challengingly. ..while Subu Laxmi carries on, but at the moment I seem to be in a more advantageous position because I made a hostage out of you and laid a trap here for Dutta. Naku looks in awe at Subu... and has a FB, of clinging desperately to Dutta .. bandaging his hand, sharing fruit, being covered by him...she looks in fear at Subu who says, are you frightened? Naku gives her no answer and just walks away from her.. and then replies, I don't know how to give smart answers, amma .. I only like always, pray for my Saab, I'll pray for your husband as well, I only wish that Saab comes here and sets me free from this place, still on the other hand, I don't want him to land himself in a problem by coming here... I wouldn't like it.. Subu Laxmi glares at her, and Naku calls out in concern, you too don't be anxious, Bappa will take care of everything. Subu Laxmi turn to stare at her deity.
Dutta's den
Dutta lies on his back alone on his bed his stretched arm feels the empty space on the other side of his bed.. he lies awake, stares into space.. Naku prays before her god. Dutta looks at her empty space on his bed with contempt and Naku prays.
Kala's room
Kala studies her reflection in the mirror.. rather intensely. Kishore enters the room, and watches her at her dresser. Her face twists in a smile, at the sight of her husband. she calls him coquettishly, come here Kishore.. reluctantly he obeys and she says, you have told me many tales, today I'll tell you a story.. remember as a child we heard this story, about a queen who used to ask her mirror, "mirror mirror on the wall whose the fairest of all" ,I too am asking my mirror, "mirror mirror on the wall who is the most powerful one of all?.. she stands up deluded, did you hear what the mirror is says.. Kalavati .. Kishore now I am going to see how Dutta will cross the threshold to go and save Nakusha ..Kishore glares at her defiant expression. She walks away and says, my dearest Bhau will not be going to rescue Nakusha..
The mirror shows one their reflection.. it's like facing one's self.. Kala sees herself as holding immense powerful in the house..
Dutta's ablution
Dutta returns home after suffering several gruelling experiences ..the accident, the survival, the capture and the release. On top of all is the influence of being drugged. So to have a shower is the most appropriate thing for him to do. Since this is time granted to him within the privacy of his bathroom.. really when the effect of drug wears off it is normal for him to have FB s which include largely images about Naku; his dream; Jagtap's, voice; Kala's reminder that he is the root of all at PN's survival; images of romantic moments Naku in his dream; Kala's words regarding Naku's authenticity, Japtap's words; Kala's question to him about what transpired in the forest? that he is ready to save that cheat Naku's life by putting his own life at risk.? Kala reminding him what happened between you and her that you forget that Naku has done to him , Kala and Aye Sahib? Jagtap's words, the one who betrayed you was not your true love; Kala's words the girl you plan to bring back to the house is very cunning, changes like a chameleon in different circumstances; Kala advising him, she has deceived you once before, why invite deception again; Jagtap's words, the day you recognize true love you will not be able to deny it! Kala showing him photos, take a look at this snake; Jagtap giving Naku's hand over to him.. like a girl's father.. with the wish.. receive your treasure.
The steamy mirror brings back to him ,voices.. Babi's cries, Kala's, Jagtap's voices torture him.. surely this is decision time which he refuses to tackle.. defer , put to back boiler the lot! Naku ! Jagtap! Kala..
The phone rings! he turns to it from the bathroom.. gets decent and wonders who it can be? it rings and rings but Dutta seems disinterested.. finally he checks the caller id .. and answers the phone.
Anna ~ Dutta
Anna sings a song, been a long time since waiting for you.. but no reply from my mate. Dutta glares at him. Anna continues, you are taking so long to come, beloved.. even god doesn't take so long to respond! did you think you'd come after intermission? ok forget it! I've made a Hindi film, Telugu you don't understand ..I am thinking I should send you that film.. humm, watch it, and tell me what you think ? you'll like it.
Dutta turns to the door and his servant stands with a packet in the door way , Bhau this is for you.. message reads, "with love of your wife", a film by Anna.. and smiley face.
Dutta opens the envelope and finds a CD, puts it in lap top. Anna face comes on screen, hey! camera on?yes..ok.. Dutta Shri RamPatil, namaste..I, Malleshwar Ramalingum invites you.We met the other day, but couldn't have a heart to heart meeting, I was short of time, as I had to kidnap your wife..but no problem , when you have the time, just pick the phone and come over.. we'll have a chat, drink a bit, dance a bit..in short we'll have a ball..humm? cheers! till then, I've sent you this film about your wife, watch and enjoy! Dutta sees Naku , propped and tied up as a scarecrow! and he is displeased. Close ups of Naku are seen by Dutta and he denounces this humiliation of a person...suddenly it hurts him, as he sees her arms struggling to be set free.He lowers his head and her words to Anna ring out , you'll repent! when Saab comes , you 'll regret it! when he comes, not one head of this ten headed monster would be left on his body! hey! just pray to god that Saab doesn't come here! it's not just me saying, but a wife's firm faith in her husband.. speaking out! Dutta briefly delves on the implication of her words , shuts the laptop, and takes a decision. He opens his wardrobe to collect his pistols, before that he looks at the mangulsutra.. remembers his own words, FB, think of this mangulsutra as a garrotte around your neck! but now he reaches out for it, FB ,recalls her coming to the room to return it.. recalls Jagtap's dying wish to hold on to Naku's hand, Jagtap's arm on the ground with his wife's mangulsutra tied to his wrist.. Dutta repeats the action, winds up Naku's mangulsutra and his Bappa locket around the wrist of his wounded hand, and then fixes his chunni bandage around his knuckles..these two objects will be stamina, shield and strength...and above motivation to save Naku. He puts his black pathiani on, and Naku's words resound in his ears, just pray Saab doesn't show up here! he gets hold of two pistols and puts them one each in both his trouser pockets, looks at his pistol shuts his wardrobe and storms out of his room, glides down the stairs and pauses by Bappa's statue, FB suddenly turns to look at it and sees Naku's faint figure before Bappa ..and he turns to look in Bappa's direction and finds Naku praying before it with bandaged hands...his eyes concentrate on the Naku's F.B image, disturbed he moves away from the puja area and he walks limpingly through the hall.. suddenly, Baji calls, Bhau! and Dutta stops in a huff. Baji comes up to him and asks, where are you off to Bhau? Naku? are you going to rescue Naku ? Dutta shakes his head angrily, and growls, this no time for questions and answers Baji!.Baji argues, Bhau I am not discussing, all I want to say is wherever you're going I am coming with you.. Dutta roars , and who's going to look after every one at home? this is only my battle! but Baji argues but Bhau! and Dutta raises his palm and yells, I am going alone! and Dutta gives Baji a furious look.. episode ends Hamlet53~ 23.3.14
~~~~~~~~~~
The scarecrow video is really a message from Naku to Dutta to rekindle those emotions that transpired between the two in the forest..
It's a visual replica tussle between Kala's use of Supriya's wedding photographs , and Anna's video of Naku.. both forms of images are used as a powerful weapon to create conflict in Dutta, rob him of peace.. but Anna's video has more weightage as Dutta's previous hesitation in rescuing Naku is pushed aside, as he decides to take the honourable step...he will eventually give a two pronged reaction; save his honour and smite his foe once and for all.
The bathroom scene is a moment where Dutta attempts to clear his head and bring recent events into perspective ..it however proves to be conclusive for Dutta at that point, that a dream is a dream.. Kala has brought out the facts about Naku's deceptive nature, in the form of photographic evidence.
The mirror features a role in this episode.. where Kala pleasingly calls herself all powerful..
Dutta in the bathroom, hates his reflection, it asks him many questions of what type of a man a husband he is..? he would rather not see himself as it's a sight that tortures him.. he tries to wash himself but is unsuccessful in cleaning or clearing the mess in his heart and soul.
