Agree with You both! Its Nakusha's story also.. and being a Gangster;'s wife her Reaction was Natural, she was Calming them down and has to make sure that there is no riot in his absence in his name :-) 

And it has nothing to do with Naku doing all dongiri.. 

The tie-in of flashbacks between Dutta and Nakku when she's at the cupboard was really nice...I miss seeing him like that. It would have been perfectly great if she was shown to be remembering him, feeling him through his relics, taking strength from them...which was powerful really. They could have (and should have) done without her putting them on her own person and using them though...Nakku has enough eminence on her own and through the weight of her words and honesty (which are her biggest strengths) that she should be able to make the mob 'see' without trying to take Dutta's 'bhaes'...Nakku is Nakku and she is Nakku because she's not Dutta. To become his wife in the most deserving form, she does not need to become little Dutta and she does not need people to see her that way either. In this situation specifically because there was so much tod-phod going on, it would have been much, much better if Baaji had assumed a leadership position and handled the situation along with his men by shutting the people down with a dhansu speech and physical force if required. Baaji standing mum while Neta Nakku handles the praja...not flying with me. MV acted much better today than in her previous village scenes though...in individual and close-up shots she was still able to sell this scene to some extent, but on the bigger scale, between all those grungy and violent men, who were infuriated and had apparently been ready to jump down Vahini's throat for lying to them, the situation just became unbelievable. And the way they got convinced at the end and all their ire died away with Nakku's voice echoing...right.

MR nailed it with the blindness today...the manner in which he stumbled and his eyes were widened in misdirection...spot-on! "Nakku ke paas shayad phone bhi nahi hai." You THINK, Dutta!? 😆 I love how he was yelling and getting angry over the phone too, hilarious 🤣 Oh, this man...😛

Precap...Nakku, tell Baaji already...there is no reason why you should be keeping him in the dark of all people. He has helped you and you know you can confide in him...he deserves to know who is doing this because obviously the thought of 'this enemy' is playing on his mind and the least you can do is answer that for him...but will she or won't she? What will stop her?

I hope, I really do...these scenes with Nakku acting so and thus being able to control the mob as a result are stretching the limit to which there can be suspension of disbelief (in my opinion)...maybe they are taking this route to show Nakku doing something aggressively while Dutta is away and it's just for this little period of time...God, I hope it's only for this little period of time...I will take anything over this, yes, even Nakku hounding the temples and rotating around trees.

Which reminds me...oooooooooo, Nakku is in trouble 😛 Bahar toh she was giving bhav to people, lekin ghar aake AS is going to do her besti-proof 😆 If it leads up to the phone call after she is completely sad and depressed, it'll be the sweetest surprise for her (:

You know, if they wanted to have her make an impact through bhaashans, it could actually have turned out to be much more striking and believable because Nakku does have that way with her simplistic words, woh baatein 'jo badal deti hain' while seeming so basic yet being deep. Even the dialogues in today's scene...the way those people got convinced...it wasn't right. It could have been made a tag-team effort between Nakku and Baaji...Baaji controls and gets them to listen, convinces them...and Nakku delivers the punch with her belief and faith, by asking for their trust and support...some deep, heartfelt writing here could have instilled the faith in not only the mob, but even the viewers and Nakku/Baaji themselves...it could have been a moment of immense trust and belief actually...it didn't end up being one because of the half-baked, unconvincing scenario and writing though :(

EDIT: droopy_asleep, we'll agree to disagree 😆😊 But just for the sake of discussion on the Nakku being meek bit...I don't think that's the point because we'll all agree on her being amazingly assertive upon requirement...but she has a different kind of strength, you know? She can do anything for Dutta, and like Roopa said before, we know that, we've seen that...but there are different ways of showing this, ways in which they can play up her strengths rather than putting her in a mould that seems off and uncomfortable...MV is trying her best with the material she has been given IMO, but there are other limitations beyond her control which don't quite make this seem natural for her and the character...

Maybe they are trying to give a new 'transformation' of sorts to the character but aren't doing convincing enough a job for some of us to buy into and let go of that previous image...I guess I just want Nakku to be Nakku...not for her to turn into someone else and be hollow at that...

I hope Nakku handles AS and Kala the same way she handled the villagers...😆 Especially Kala,  Nakku...just shoot her with the gun you have...👍🏼With AS - walk away from her just the way Dutta does when someone talks stuff that he doesn't like.
