Manik's gaze on Nandu.. it used to be such a tangible thing.. almost like a living entity..it would make you hold your breath and your heart race as you watched him just 'look' at her.. that deep, longing, penetrating look.. whether he was angry, happy or sad it was always there in his eyes..but now..it's simply gone..If this is the result of Vader's hangups again.. then he needs to be b*tchslapped asap😡
OMG this is IT! It's been nagging me since a few days too what seems missing from Manik's side and you've nailed it here...the way he looked at Nandu was indeed a living breathing thing with a WORLD of emotions inside it.
Nowadays that gaze is so diluted and heading towards MEHH territory😕
