On one side is empowered Nikumbh(thanks to Yamini and Azam). Hearing his father speak is a shot in the arm, he is determined to make the play a success - validation in the truest sense for him and as well as his dad. On the other side is Raghu who makes no outward effort to even hide his hate towards Nikumbh. There are no pretenses and war is out in the open.
In between all this is Yamini who cannot be slotted onto any side. The girl may not vociferously argue with her dad but she certainly does have a mind of her own, we have seen several evidences of it. She is the deciding factor in every game. While Raghu may have won round 1 regarding the poster, Nikumbh smartly orchestrated round 2 without Raghevendar even realizing that he had to be preparedđ. I am looking forward to more such confrontations. The first part of the episode with the conversation flowing between the 2 couples was well done.
