I enjoyed tonight's episode to the fullest. Mainly because there was a lot of character dev. and relationship troubles that I could relate to on an emotional level. Beautiful work by the top notch actors behind the portrayal of Raghav and Gayatri.
>> Pros:
1) Raghavendra in action a la Bruce Lee style
That was just frigging awesome. Man, it was fantastically shot and well-edited. Raghav -- sigh -- he looked fierce when he went insane on those idiot cops. Gosh, when that moron stepped on his sister, Bhabhi, and Krish's photo -- I was like: O.O "Dude, do you have like a death wish or something?"
I've never seen Raghav so furious. The cop disrespected the women and we got a milder glimpse of what clicks in Raghav's head when someone disrespects his women. Imagine what he'll do to V one day [insert hysterically HAPPY emoticon here].
I loved the way that he warned that cop before he shattered the frame.
Don't say that he didn't warn you, loser cop! *high fives with Raghav*
2) The two idiots scared of the "gunda"
LMAO. I just loved how they kept staring at him and whispering about him, all scared and nervous -- and then when Raghav shot them a glare, they jumped. I was like ROFLMAO. Don't poke the lion. He'll pounce.
The two guys were a nice detail.
3) Sunder's concern for Raghav
Sweet. He was getting all emotional seeing his big bro in a prison cell with a bandage on his head and a split lip. Loved how Raghav tried to lighten his concern by switching back to joke mode when, really, he was very upset.
The garage, his home and sanctuary, had been assaulted and vandalized. Thanks to the Creep [omigod, even thinking about him makes me wanna rip something apart]. Honestly, the CVs better remember the Creep's list of sins when Raghav does his hisaab, because I'd like to see him punished for raping someone's home like this.
4) Komal's plea to Gayatri
Gosh, am I glad to have Komal in the house. She proved useful tonight. Because as far as I could tell, Sia wasn't gonna utter a peep in Raghav's defense.
5) Gayatri's frustration with the police and her soiled reputation
Seriously? Your son's garage was vandalized. His sanctuary wrecked. He was beaten up by at least ten frigging cops with frigging sticks and guns. Then put in a prison cell to rot. And you're concerned about your frigging reputation?
I liked the scene though. Realistic how the cops gossiped and Gayatri was awesome with her expressions and obvious disgust.
6) Gayatri and Raghav confrontation #1
Oh, dear. What Gayatri said about him not having changed. That must've hurt. Because just last night, he was overjoyed when she asked him to stay for dinner and he ran away like a little kid, afraid that someone would burst his happy bubble.
And today, Gayatri did just that. She hurt him more than he could've hurt her. He wasn't willing to believe that his mother had ordered the attack on his home. But considering her Ice Queen attitude -- even I don't blame him for thinking she was behind it. The woman shows NO emotions in front of him other than distate and utter disappointment.
7) Gayatri and Raghav confrontation #2
Did anyone else notice how Raghav kept glancing at his mother throughout his threats on leaving? He was waiting/hoping for some kind of signal, hint, anything from her side that might tell him that he should stay, that she didn't want him to leave.
It was heartbreaking.
But the Ice Queen refused to budge, of course *throws chappal at her*
One thing I have to point out is Harshad's outstanding performance -- the kind of control on his emotions that he conveyed, the tipping balance... It was like he was on the verge of breaking down in front of her, but his stubbornness and pride refused to let him.
Both are exactly alike. Proud and stubborn. It'll be hard to crack this nut 😕
Also, Harshad and the actress who plays Gayatri -- their chemistry is OMIGODAMAZING. I always say it. But that's because I always feel it.
8) Almost no Dual V tonight
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CVS. I wouldn't have been able to stand every scene with Dual V as I'm already having issues digesting Original V.
9) Komal and Raghav conversation in flashback
I'm loving their relationship. She's like an older sister slash mother figure to him. Always trying to support him, always concerned for him. I liked their conversation, and especially the way Harshad said his dialogues with so much emotion, but his expression dispassionate. His eyes and voice conveyed it all.
Powerful dialogues once again!
>> Cons:
1) No Krish tonight and no KriGhav
I miss them. And I need Krish to tell Raghav what he knows. Somehow.
2) Rushed sequences
Once again the scenes were CUT CUT CUT CUT, no flow and all rushed. Sigh. I feel like a broken record sometimes, repeating the same thing over and over and over again.
3) Sia's decorative character
Like somone already said: Put her in a museum.
She is so frigging passive. Blank, flat, passive. What are the CVs doing with her character? SJ is an amazing actress. At least make use of her skills! Give her something, ANYTHING, to do, say, express!!!
4) Dual V and his [lack of] purpose
Why is he still around? Why? What's his purpose? Why is he there? Why?
5) The amount of stupidity in the Singh household
Can no one see through V, or at least catch onto something being off about him and the fact that he knew about the garage incident?
Why isn't anyone suspecting anything when it comes to V?
I mean, there's Jahnvi [the woman who knows and understands V as she has lived with him]. There's Komal [who's supposedly a succesful doctor!] and there's Gayatri [a multi-millionaire business woman with eyes like a hawk and sharp mind!] In a house full of supposedly intelligent people, why is everyone stupid with the exception of Raghav?!
