However, he barges into the rooms of the family where he stays as a guest, at night, without a thought to their privacy, and passes personal judgements in a manner that even someone who really really trusted him would find abnormal in a guest.

This is something that I noticed during the episode, but forgot to jot down. When V clearly says that "perhaps young couples today don't believe in SR" and further remaked on how they wanted to know each other before doing the deed.

I was in shock here, actually. Because he was openly saying it to Gayatri. In fact, Gayatri did get uncomfortable at the remark, yet V continued. That was crossing the line. Plus it's interesting how Gayatri didn't ask V to leave the room and not meddle in this business as it's private and personal and has to do with her son's married life.

*shakes head*

I had at least expected Komal to say something like "can I have a moment alone with my mother-in-law" to V. Anything to make him leave the room where he wasn't supposed to be in the first place.

You can see how disturbed and confused he is...how at times he feels it's all too much to take in. Because it is that disturbing, and I guess because we've been in V's and J's heads too long, we've grown dangerously used to it, in a way that a recent listener like Raghav probably wouldn't, maybe?

That's exactly what I meant, Biz. Raghav is thrown by V's antics. We're not. We've seen them many times before. What I liked was how conflicted Raghav became over it, because the man looked insane and needed treatment, yet he'd just tortured a child and Komolika had said that he should be treated like a criminal.

That's bound to confuse and frustrate Raghav.

I can't even imagine what went through Raghav's head when he saw V dive under his blanket all of a sudden and then pop up five minutes later 😕 That must've looked weird on a CCTV cam.

Did you notice how focused on closeups it was? It was a technique similar to that signature shot from The Blair Witch Project...and it clearly works because you can see how powerless he really feels. Notice how most of the shots focus on him from beneath, so it looks like he towers over people? This shot was different...because he is starting to lose that sense of power...on many levels.

OH, I kept pondering what the shot reminded me of. The Blair Witch Project, of course. In which they shot similarly, as you said, with the lighting and the angle of the camera. Plus it did make him look powerless, which I enjoyed immensely.

The other thing was how important the lack of perfection was in Jhanvi's life...Raghav feels terrible for the tea he made, but to Jhanvi it's a rare and precious thing, because it gives her the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them, and the fact that the (for-the-moment) partner makes them too gives her a sense of confidence.

I couldn't have phrased it better myself, Biz. Word.

This was an awesome dialogue from Raghav. For one thing, it showed us that there's only one reason that he's doing things the "clean" way and that's Sia. She's all that's keeping him from breaking bones and ending the game right here, right now.

What I liked was how aware she was of her importance to him and that she promised to let him have at it some day if they couldn't prevent V any other way.
