This time I was careful to save everything so that I didn't lose it. Thank you to the infinite articles that ruined the whole suspense. 🥱

Anyways let's get started.


Positives:

  1. Baba Ramnath instead of Baba Ramdev. 😆
  2. I like how the team was at the site and that's where they mentioned why they were there instead of first going to Dilip's office and being told to come to the crime scene.
  3. The use of a sniffer dog. 👏
  4. Raghav's sudden appearance and Rajbir trying to guess how he found out. It was a nice addition and matched both's characters.
  5. Good screen space to Bikram. He's finally being given an area of his own for his character to develop.
  6. The way Trisha and Raghav were looking at Aastha made me think that they were thinking that she was behind everything. And I liked that they both thought alike.
  7. Clever move to get Aashta's fingerprints. 👏
  8. "Boss main good cop. Kyun ki aap se acha bad cop koi play kar hi nahi sakta hai." I like the way these 2 are so calm and comfortable with each other. And then his mouthing "I'm good cop" with raised eyebrows and Trisha's eye-rolling.
  9. Raghav covering for Ashwin and then questioning him separately. Don't mind, but I liked that. It was a nice move whether it was to be kind to Ashwin or to avoid giving out the truth.
  10. Swati being a tech expert, but also a normal agent. She has two roles and I hope like yesterday she gets some good space.
  11. Trisha's reactions with Nitin. I loved it. I don't know why I just did.
  12. The touchy topic of Sahil. It was like the skeleton in the closet that no one wanted to touch and I was glad the way it was brought forward. It was also quite realistic and taught you so much about gun safety without preaching.
  13. I liked how Bikram made it so inconspicuous that he was recording everything on the phone.
  14. Catching Tania. Nicely planned out. And getting Dinesh in to help was another nice move because it brought out the alter ego.
  15. Raghav-Rajbir-Bikram moment at the end. It was a nice wrap to everything.

Negatives:

  1. Why is every suspense scene shown from a low angle first and as if we're creeping onto the person? Not related to AR fully, but just wondering.
  2. Why didn't Trisha send some divers to search the lake? I understand that the dog owner said that there might be a lot of scents, but didn't Trisha also ask if the killer crossed the lake? And what about throwing a weapon in the lake? Didn't that cross anyone's mind? I just thought it would be the first step to check the lake. You may find a lot of garbage, but at least you would have checked.
  3. Who has a shower with a towel on? I understand modesty, but they could easily have shown Tania doing something else and not having a shower if they wanted.
  4. Now Dr. Aarti is a fingerprints expert as well?
  5. Again the building changed? Are they by chance showing us the front and then the back of the building? Because such fast changes don't make sense.
  6. Really? 1-2-3-4 as the passcode? That obvious? Come on you could have used some creativity CVs.
  7. Even though I knew that Tania was behind everything, there was a few things in the episode itself that gave it away. First is Anita = Tania. Then there's the left-handed talk which I don't understand why it was being emphasized. And then the past. It gave a reason for Tania's split personality.
  8. Why was Anita sending those letters anyways?

Overall the episode was quite good. There were some questions, but still a good episode. I'll give this a 3/5.

The episode was again very engrossing and professional, Shreya. Right in the beginning, the assessment of the crime scene and the use of sniffer dogs, etc,. made it very real.


Haha, LOL at the Baba Ramnath observation. I was thinking of that too. But I am surprised Gajendra Chauhan (who's been at the centre of the FTII storm) played the director who was killed purportedly by Baba Ramnath. It was quite ironic since in real life both of them have similar affiliations.


I missed ten mins in b/w due to the dratted rains which interrupted my satellite signal. But I really liked how Raghav gauged that the killer was left-handed, with the use of the color palette.


I do wish they had Raghav explaining disassociative/ multiple personality disorder in detail, though, considering his background.


I really liked the good cop/bad cop moment too, very cute.


And now they finally seem like a team. Even Swati has made her place in it. Gauri would often appear as the odd man out.

Overall the past two episodes have been a revelation. Both of them were high on detail and were well-paced out.

^ There's one thing that came into my mind after the fact. If Tania was doing everything then why did they keep shooting it as if someone else was attacking her. That was misleading and it leaves a lot of questions. They could have shown Tania just yelling that someone is attacking her or showing her wounded. That would have been more meaningful and suspenseful.

Yes. Absolutely. I guess they wanted to use it as a red herring, but in the logical scheme of things, it makes no sense.

At least for the butler they retained the logic, Tania was just shouting that someone was here to attack her.

About the Episode,

I liked the manner in which the crime scene was introduced and explained.The use of a sniffer dogs was a very good move 👏

Bikram talk with the Baba was well done.The interrogation of Dinesh and the manner in which Bikram recorded everything is commendable 👏 👏

Trisha's interrogation of Nitin was excellently done ⭐️

I too liked the Good Cop,Bad Cop scene 😊
Raghav-Rajbir-Bikram ending scene was nice too.

In the scene,before the butler was killed,where Trisha and the butler were in the kitchen,someone was shown holding a knife.I am also confused about this.Since it was Trisha who was doing everything, how does the scene fit in?

The victim was receiving letters purportedly written by Anita.The victim knew about Sahil's family and that there was no person named Anita in the family.Then why didn't he bother to find out who was sending the letters instead of destroying the letter.Or did he knew of his daughter's medical condition and still didn't get her treated?

I too didn't understand why was Anita sending the letters to her father.When it was actually she who had accidentally killed Sahil?
