In one word: "FANTASTIC" ... The script was brilliant ... kudos to the creative team.
I'd like to go into a bit more detail here, so please do bear with me:
1. Loved the fact that the battle lines are now very clearly drawn between Mallika & Niddhi and done extremely well.
2. Mallika clearly stepping way out of line, professionally as well as personally (not only with Niddhi, but also with Ashu). The scene where Ashu confronts (questions) Niddhi on the the lost file and he says "he has known Mallika 12 years, she would not lie" ...clearly shows how much Ashu trusts her and its this trust that Mallika has let down...Ashu does not know of this yet, but lets see his reaction (pain, sorrow, shock, despair, anger...???) when and if he does come to know the truth.
3. The confrontation scene between Niddhi & Mallika...very well scripted and shot. Special mention of the dialogues, kudos to Kamlesh Pandey. Mallika, on the other hand has now probabaly started feeling the reality of the "threat" she faces and is making huge blunders as far as her position (one of seniority and maturity) goes...I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't very soon falter and make mistakes where the game plan is revealed...
4. The changes in Ashu are almost palpable (Children's ward welcome scene) (kudos to me!!!!!!!! "joking" hahaha). No more to be said by me about Ashu, for obvious reasons!!!
Oh yeah...now that the battle lines are clearly drawn between Niddhi & Mallika, what are the spoils of battle???...Dr. Ashutosh!!!!! or whatever left of him...hahaha!!!!!! :)
The above are a synopsis of my views as an individual and I have attempted to disassociate my self as an actor!!!
