First of all, my apologies... I have not been able to watch yesterday's episode yet and hence some parts of my analysis today may seem half baked. Well, maybe not... because all I want to talk about is Vikram. I have always thought and wanted only Geet to bring out the best in MSK. But with Geet being the sherni now, I had started missing the Angry Young Ma(a)n... well, not anymore. Vikram, thank you for that.
Vikram is by far the best cameo introduced in the show (as a character)... atleast the only meaningful one. But I don't think they chose the right actor for the role... The disconnect I feel is that he seems like a joke when they show him onscreen, not the sick and shrewd guy that he is supposed to be... Geet and Maan's response is to the threats of a very smart, calculative and sick psychopath. But when Vikram is shown on screen, he neither looks nor acts his part... so in all, this time I feel like the track is good and the character is meaningful but there would be more impact if the actor was better. Even Vikram's laughter in the end today seemed so pretentious. Bear in mind, this is only my opinion. Again, the storyline and the character are very good, but I am not the greatest fan of this guy's acting (No offense to anyone). He is decent, but not the most apt choice for this role according to me.
Maan... ☺️. I loved it when he screamed when Vikram stated the he is love with Maan's wife. The angrier Maan gets, the better a treat for us. But, as happy as I am about the Angry Young Ma(a)n, I was a little disappointed that it took Maan time till he reached his own house to know Vikram's plan. The intelligent MSK should have guessed it as he was driving... but I suppose I will let it be.
Well, not too much of Geet today, but she is good in whatever she does, so no complaints there.
The chase sequence... it was good the first time, but this time I wish they had shown something else. Maybe a car chase or something. As nice as it is to see Maan like that, I did not enjoy today's chase sequence as much as the first for 2 reasons... Firstly, it was a repeat, and secondly, I hate to see Maan loose consistently.
Humm, what about the precap for tomorrow. It is my guess that it is Geet's dream, maybe because Vikram will call again and threaten Geet about causing Maan some harm. I will be really disappointed if Maan actually gets beaten by this lunatic. But, I will wait till tomorrow to comment on that, and I will watch it gladly even if Maan gets beaten up because whatever said and done, I am enjoying this track.
All in all, today's episode was ok for me and not really great. I am in conflict with how I want this character unveiled. One day there was no Vikram and the next day onwards it is only Vikram.. Considering the nature of the catastrophe, it is obvious that everyone will only have him on their minds. But I still hope they unveil this Vikram character slowly. It will seem more realistic if they show some normalcy in everyone's life, like trying to go back to their routine but being cautious instead of being worried about Vikram all the time. And then Vikram can strike when it is least expected. The reason I say this is because the more of Vikram they show, the sooner the track will need to end. So if they also focus on other things (I am certainly not hinting at the circus party here), we may have Vikram hanging around for a little longer, don't you think?
So, what are you guys thinking... I would love to read your views..
PS - I am sick with some terrible cold. Will catch up with you all tomorrow if you don't mind. 😛
Jo, I concur with everyone about your suggestions. They are all encompassing and if the CV's follow anyone of those suggestions, we will have a brilliant treat.
