What an episode. So touching and natural. Superlative writing and direction.

Seema ji was little bit below her usual superlative levels when showing pain after being jabbed(initially). She was back in her zone later.
I too felt that the dialogues were hard to understand in their conversation. But even that felt natural. Mai and her bachua were talking and only they needed to understand each other and they did.
It was Gautam who stole the show. His despair, pain, emotions were all outstanding.
Mai was the other name for emotion for him. He cried and pleaded while she was dying. When she left, the emotion went away with him. The tears stopped. Only the pain remained. And it showed in his eyes. It was not like he was being stoic. Every move of his showed lot of pain and grief.


Beautifully said santhi, what they said, the words themselves had no meaning, it was the moments of extreme sorrow and pain, and that came through.

I am sure Seema Biswas with her experience saw that her stint in MK though small, will be very significant and Babbal also knew that the early episodes need the best of the best, and so chose her to play Maimui, for which, we can't thank Seema enough.

As for Gautam, such scenes are his forte! What am I saying, all scenes are his forte, the man is a complete package!

Arshi and Santhi, very well explained. Nothing more to add. Lovely and very emotional episode it was.

The bad guys are so evil. Pandey, Balivesh, Greyerson.. So easily they torture and kill and don't feel a thing. Once Rudra gets his hands on him, Pandey will be only Khoye Pandey.

The rest - waiting for everything to unfold and fall into place. By next week we'll get a good idea about Maya also. Is she with the Swami under pressure or just innocently believing him or something else.


Aparna, chapter 1 of rudras life was with his birth mother, a short chapter, chapter 2 is practically his whole life till now, that with his Maimui.

Both these chapters are over and a new chapter is about to begin and this Rudra is unknown to us, and to himself also. He is going with a desire for revenge, but is yet unaware of the big game going on,

Hi kiran , talking about the death scene , i thought the 2 min death scene enacted by Robin Das ji was great , one of the best death scenes i hv ever seen . I still remember the moment he closed his eyes . It was exactly the way my Dadaji had done before breathing his last . It is a bit sad that all great actors have cameos in Mk . Really enjoyed their performances

I cried a bucket watching today's episode. It was actually the final rites scene that made me cry. It was just SO sad. The pain Rudra felt was palpable and I felt his pain so much that I could not control my tears. The beautiful and touching relationship of two strangers who became Mother and Son! THAT was what I felt during this episode with great poignancy!

That scene when she asks him to call her "Mai" not "Maimui" we feel the need for her to embrace the feeling of being a Mother to its fullest extent before dying! Sima Biswas... ma'am take a bow! I am your fan for life! Aap ne kamal Kar diya. My heart broke for Maimui and for Rudra as well!


So sad right now, I have no words to express it! Gauti I love you! :)

I liked the way he moves away from Maimui when he knows she died and breaks down, then the calm demeanour in doing her antim sanskaar. Yes it was what you call quite a silent epi with very few dialogues in the latter half but expressions conveying the whole feeling.

Just how I felt, and reading your post the emotions were back and my eyes just filled up. One of the rarest and best emotional death scene I have seen.

My dear Arshi,

You have nailed it in your last sentence.

It was all about Gautam's Rudra, who has now completely internalised his grief and the trauma of such a terrible loss. This was carried over into the utter blankness of his eyes in the precap, as he regards Maya's mama, the Sinister Swami.

I also agree that Maimuyi's death scene was not well enough done. It somehow lacked, except in one part, of which more below, the emotional heft of Udiya Baba's passing. Perhaps this was because there was too much of incoherent talk from her side, and I could not make out even 20% of it. The silences that spoke in their earlier scenes were drowned out, and Maya's endless Mai, mai!! began to grate on the nerves.

But the heartbreaking quality of the relationship between Maimuyi and her bachuwa, whether with the teenage Rudra or this one, came thru with full force in the bit where she asks him to call her Mai. I am not the crying kind, but my eyes were wet as Rudra complied and hugged her with frantic, desperate love.

Later, in Gautam's still, wordless, frozen agony as he goes about the funeral rites, the emotional vazan of the narrative was regained. The point where he wipes his wet hands in her pallu was the high water mark, so poignant, and that too without a single word spoken.

Whatever his merits as a convincing actor, the scene of Pandey and the dying Maimuyi was disgusting. And as with the scene of his blinding by Swami Balivesh, it had NO place in a 8 pm telecast of a serial meant as family entertainment. The way he was shown twisting the trishul in her wound made me want to stick the trishul into the director. Ugh..

This apart, the whole chase and murder scene was totally incredible, and stretched the boundaries of artistic licence, of natakiya rupantar, to breaking point. There was no police, no autopsy of the murdered person's body, no FIR, nothing. It cannot happen even in a remote village in India today, not to speak of a city like Varanasi awash with mobile-wielding citizen journalists, that a bunch of thugs chases an old woman and kills her in broad daylight in the centre of the city without anyone bothering about it, least of all the police. It is ludicrous. 😡

And then Rudra cremates the body with no one even bothering to inform the police!

Whatever the script-related compulsions, above all of getting Rudra to Prayag and the Mahakumbh, I am feel very strongly that it was a bad mistake to have thus abruptly knocked Maimuyi out of the narrative. With her passing, the emotional core of Mahakumbh has also been knocked out, and the fallout of this ill-considered decision will become apparent all too soon.

The Maya conundrum stayed intact, given that the previous day's precap was repeated last night.
I am still half of the mind that she is an unknowing accomplice of her Mama, but let us see,

Shyamala

The way he was gloating over Maimuis body, was disgusting

The actual death scene - it was ok, the dialogues were a little hard to catch, and I felt it was a bit stretched.

But the scene after - the detached mechanical way in which Rudra did all the rites, coupled with the memories and flash backs - that was touching and poignant!

More like the Rudra we knew! He internalizes his pain, keeps up a stoic demeanour, but feels a lot of sadness and pain within!

The scene where he held on to her pallu, not willing to let go of it - the sad for,on look, but outward composure, the almost calm way in which he went about piling up the wood, this was the Rudra we had been first introduced to!

Today was one of the episodes, where time comes to a standstill, an old track is tied and packed and stowed away, and an interlude is taken before the story takes a turn!

It was Gautam rodes episode through and through, he has finally got into the skin of Rudra and realsied that Rudra is not about loud fury all the time, mostly he's just about silent pain!

But I agree with Shyamala, it was an oversight, and a grave one at that, in a show which has kept things simple and realistic.

It was lynching in broad daylight, moreover she knew her murderer, clearly the cops should've been called in!

This was one blooper that Babbal ji missed out! While Udiya babas death was made to seem like an accident, this was an out and out murder!
