I really like it that Sid is taking it one degree of separation at a time. Well played!
There was that one fleeting moment of something extra on his face, when she told him he had lost all rights over her because of what he had done the previous night! It was so fleeting but so damning it was in what it revealed. What made him lose his composure even for a second was when she said he had lost her! The warrior was unfazed by cliff rescues and snake bites but the thought that he had lost her forever because of his own stupidity brought out that flicker on his face!
Again, liked the way he took charge when he realized that she had been injured! And the subsequent discovery of the snake bite! His "Haath chodiye, Rani ji" was masterful and yet subtle. In that one phrase he conveyed what he wanted to and shut her up!
I liked that they didn't brush aside G's mistake of venturing out to see Wilkie in the middle of the night. I liked G's comeback when she told RNJ that he had been taken in by Wilkie's guile just as much as she had! I liked the expression of discomfiture on RNJ's face before he gruffly brushed it aside. Cute that was!
RM is a super cool woman, I say. She is a master in the art of political craft but she also understands human psychology very well! She knows her son is vulnerable to G at the moment, be it out of guilt, and she wants to push him when he is weak! There were dangers involved but they were calculated and besides that is her fitrat. If we are talking of putting G to danger, let us not forget that RNJ was right next to her. The bullet could have gone off course and hit him as well. RM still took that risk but didn't stop there! She made sure it paid off by leaving the palace with Swarna in tow, leaving RNJ with no option but to tend to his injured damsel himself!
I liked the King telling the doctor he owed him no explanations and that his Queen had to be saved at any cost and that was all that mattered! I liked the King accepting to care for his Queen and offering the royalty's prestige as an excuse. How many more excuses is he going to dredge up and for how much longer 😆
The smart king was back in action when he asked Yashodha about the doctor's presence at the palace. But Yashodha has been trained by a master after all! She managed to wriggle out without furthering his suspicions!
Kunwar Chacha and Chachi are kind of cute. If they are not served in overdose, they do add to the meal! Yesterday, they were good fun!
And then of course, the almost pillow smothering and then the pillow fight! Nothing much to be added about the lady in black! She remains a mystery but she is definitely not Swarna. So one suspect off the list!
The doctor already set the tone when he claimed G's physical and mental state was delicate. So we wouldn't turn our noses up on queens throwing pillows at their Kings, and in the 1940s.
G was cute like always with her pouts. But RNJ's discomfiture was a treat to watch. For once, he looked like a man who had no clue what to do!
I am liking the slow and steady progress on RNJ! Don't rush it, creatives! It needs to simmer for long enough before it comes to boil. Don't rush in with any tadka in between!
^^ things I liked about yesterday's episode.
I have to admit that last night's episode despite all the logic ki vaat totally reeled me back in😳
I loved RaGA and loved SK and DD.
Bertie that expression on his face when she told me he lost all rights on her, actually there have other times too that I had to rewind and watch for his expressions. Perhaps if camera angle was different, or stayed on SK a tad longer... the darn flashing light they often use to dramatize also doesnt help.
It would be great if DD works a bit on her pronunciation. She gets some words wrong and it really stands out atleast for me, specially since this is a period drama and Gayu's is supposed to be comfortable with hindi. Yesterday it was pavitrata. She almost always get saazish wrong. She had mentioned in some interview she might have issues with language and so is not keen to do mythos.
@ Red- slow but not too slow. Tiwariji pranaam😃 Zee is quite notorious for dragging, delaying the self realization of feelings then rushing the confession without proper build up or even self acceptance when they need TRPs. Its a total mood kill.
In a rush, might add more later.
