The list of Makarand's gratuitously villainous behaviours is growing.
Being obsessed with Nivedita, why would he rest his hand on Ketaki's shoulder?
Who puts a SIM card in his mouth? Especially his father-in-law's SIM card?
Until Makarand's flashback of sending Sumitra's videos of Rajendra to जावई बापू, I guessed that the SIM card allowed Makarand to input some audio of Rajendra's voice into an artificial intelligence program that deep faked a voice message and a phone conversation. Now, I don't understand why Makarand needed the SIM card at all. An explanation of how the actor mimicked Rajendra's voice was more necessary than a scene of Makarand typing Rajendra's name into the phone!
Makarand typed "Rajendra Deshmukh" into the First Name field, leaving nothing for Last Name, as he gave Rajendra's identity to someone else through Edit Contact rather than the phone's Personal Information. What Makarand did would only confuse the person using this phone to communicate with "Rajendra;" it wouldn't display Rajendra's name to anyone receiving calls from this phone!
Despite Makarand's remark that Nivedita's father would finally meet her now,
Calling via SIM 1
Rajendra Deshmukh
on Makarand's phone display wasn't what anyone receiving calls from the phone would see on Caller ID; it was what the user of the phone would see when calling his renamed contact. When Nivedita got the calls and tried a return call, the caller's identity wasn't displayed to her.
Post-production forgot to blur the email address of Makarand's contact, which I won't type out here and further infringe the privacy of a real person, the wife of Kartikraaje Shobhana Vilasrao Shewale, Associate Director at Film City Studio Mumbai. Kartikraaje's phone must have been borrowed for this scene, replacing his wife's photo with that of a man.
Would any normal person (who doesn't outwit deep fakes every day) react like Nivedita, hearing her father's voice and still saying, we shouldn't believe it's he because it's not his phone number?
How could Nivedita expect the same phone number? Wouldn't she know that Rajendra's phone stayed indoors when Nihar shut the door on him? After all, Rajendra handwrote a note instead of texting them that he was leaving. Makarand could go straight to a cabinet and swipe Rajendra's SIM card out of his phone; how could he know what the family didn't?
Rajendra's voice message, received at 2:34 pm, told Nivedita to meet him tomorrow at 12. Yet Nivedita set out right away!
How could Nivedita and Asim mistake a man with a mop of curly hair for their short-and-straight-haired father?
