So that was the second episode and have to say I am feeling a lot better today :) Maybe I am out of shock and was a lot more prepared for the drama I was to witness.
This was rather interesting episode with many good moments ... both lighter as well as drama. Advay's brothers entry was a pleasent surprise although the action that followed was OTT but I am fine with that since even mainstream bollywood thinks that way about heroism (etc Rohit Shetty movies and a lot of regional movies.) so if that works for mass audience on big screen, who knows this might work on TV too. The professor intro was cheeky :P
Still the editing is awful, the flipping from one act to another, character to character, is still too fast that it doesnt give audience much time to connect. Same goes with background music...flipping too fast that I counldnt enjoy much. But Rabbavee got its due space :)
I am a bit conflicted about the drama part. It was powerful and strong. Chandini was spectacular as a character as well as actor. I, for one, am loving this compassionate but broken girl who takes the side of transgenders with so much respect and love. Although the whole sequence had more potential to expose a social evil more strongly but that I guess is the creative liberty ... They can choose to not preach and rather stay a reflection on the society. Also the superstitions that lead to Advay's mom's tragedy...curious to how they will handle it.
The couple together was amazing on screen. Till the point Chandu came in, I was starting to feel a bit bored of the repetitiveness of Barun walking around and removing shades :P . They are banking too much on his charm, another shades remove scene says that. But once he was around Chandini, things changed. The scene where Chandu was complaining to Shiva but the implied for Advay was nice :) Also the FB when they were kids (choti chandu is cutiee)
But the last few mins and the precap for tomorrow is what I would count as highlight of the day... ASR is here and he is as good as ever... ;) And chandu is no push over...Chandini and Advay has a very complicated dynamics even before we start the show.
All in all, happy that things got better !!! :) Hopefully show will settle in once this maha arti is over.
Note: done with this episode reviewing thing. :P Now that i decided to watch, will watch for a while :) Plus a lot many of you called me out for asking to fire the editor yday!! :P It was just a way of expressing frustration with something so awful. I dont even name anyone and meant the whole team in general. But sadly sarcasm is not for everyone. I love Barun but I am not one to force myself to like something that I dont due to my regards for him. Neither am I good at sugar coating. So thats it from me...
