Thank you so much for these edits Indi! Been quite busy in AZ, so couldn't dig out edits.
this scene in the rain, I can watch forever. So funny you say it was so ASR, because it happens to be during the time Barun kept saying that he didn't relate to this character, had no similarity to draw on. So where in the heck did he pull this scene from. But you are right, this is one of the scenes that gave us what we recognize as quintessential ASR. The drive into the night, the eyes staring out at what he had done in reflection, the clenching of fist, the closing and opening of eyes to re center his ego. I wonder how much was scripted, director's vision, but delivery and impact is 100% Barun.
