First a shout out to Bones Booth podcast for making me write a review on imdb:-). This is my second rewatch of Bones series.

Like the episode. I thought the writers made Dr Brennan more obnoxious than necessary, specially during the interrogations - she literally snatches pages out of Booth's hands, makes really offensive comments ( I am not religious at all still...) which is a bit over the top in this episode. Love Booth's interactions with the priest.

The case is not that difficult so the episode is mainly for the tension between the leads. Booth is an intelligent FBI guy, he may not be a scientist and may not know Wiilliam Blake's poems but I do not get why he keeps asking "what?" after each statement by Dr Fry.

Jarring facts in otherwise fairly enjoyable episode.

This movie has very very strong script and very good performances. Rajesh Khanna's performance as a young farmer reminds one of Dilip Kumar. The story is riveting, the tension between the father and son, and the son's suffering because his mother is suffering from the father's bad deeds is very well handled, with shades of gray and not black and white. Rajesh And Mumtaz of course sizzle on the screen with their amazing on screen chemistry but what I loved most are the scenes between the mother (Achala Sachdev) and the son (Rajesh Khanna). The scene when Rajesh is trying to convince his mother that he wants to marry Mumtaz so that his mother should not be lonely, is very hilarious and well-acted and so is the scene when Rajesh asks her what she ever got out of this marriage when she points to him and says 'you'!, that is so touching! The courtroom drama is well done and very emotional as well. Why Sanjeev Kumar needs to shout as the lawyer is very puzzling. Rajesh's girlfriend Anju Mahendru also acts well. Overall a fast-paced and well-directed movie and a great watch!
