The episode was all action. First there is some serio- comic discussion after which the vanar gang hit upon some right method of make up. Oops! I mean camouflage to fool the enemies. The one thing which was beyond me at this stage was what was the necessity to waste so much time and thought over this simple thing. Even if Ashok had changed his clothes with a new pair, these dumbos would have let him and his gang in through the front door.
By the way, someone in the vanar sena please lend Ashok a few clothes. He is roaming in the same ones ever since he came to Taxila. This whole thing reminded me of old Telugu movies where the inimitable NTR who is a master of disguises just affixes one small mole on his cheek and weaves circles around the baddies who are unable to recognize him. To cap it all we have asides where he keeps putting and removing the mole to show how cleverly he has fooled them all as some kind of comic relief.
Finally Vanar sena intrudes into Dhananjay's house and walks away stealing back all the stolen food grains. Ashok keeps bashing up Nayak and his men single- handedly and they keep falling down like nine pins. Nayak gets logged first and then boulder locked by the kids in this melee. The poor dancer who helps them gets killed but none of them seem to have devoted any thought to it or even tried as an afterthought to save her.
Ashok leaves a small love letter for Dhananjay's perched artistically on a bag of grains he has left behind because they were already overloaded to carry anymore with them. To cap all this we have a lady at the fag end of the episode do some sort of victory tilak of Ashok in pride and we have a Dharma flashback of how she would have done the same thing if she was here.
Somewhere in between the episode, we have a fleeting bit where Charu conveniently drops oil from a handy lamp and Dharma obligingly runs and falls. The moot question here in does she miscarry or not? We are left hanging for the next episode for our answers.
So as of now the whole score stands like this: Jerry and Co. 3 and half points(Veerayan, Bhairav and Dhananjay down, Nayak down but not knocked out) and Tom and Co. 2 points (Rakshas, Karuwaki on the opposition side). No offence anybody. This was meant to be funny. Much as I wanted to seriously appreciate the action scenes, I found them comic and childish at many places.
