Have I missed something last night, folks? How is it that you think the bombs were never to go off at all?
I did not get that impression. They were meant to go off, and Dansh was deadly serious about it, as were his underlings, who all got killed so there was no one to activate them. At least this is what I grasped.
The standard procedure in such cases in both Indian and Hollywood films is for the bomb(s) to be defused at 11:59:59 hours by the good guy(s), after a lot of supposedly tense banter about which colour wire to cut. 😉
Even in the George Clooney film,
The Peacemaker, this
mantra was religiously followed, but I was not irritated because the defusing was, for once, done by a woman nuclear scientist!😉
So please do not call Mr. Parseltongue a joker. For one thing, he takes himself very seriously, even when he is trying to clown. For another, he is hardly sinister enough for all that he tries and tries. He is in fact like a caricature, and a not too good one at that. That the other 2 look blank - Rudra is now in the running for a Zen award- does not, at least for me, make Dansh's OTT juvenile sneering and childish zipping around any more palatable.
Arshi, where has it been shown that Dansh has
divya drishti to rival or exceed Rudra's? Not to my knowledge. He saunters over to see what has happened when he does not get any confirmatory reports from his (dead) operatives, that is all. And his laughing maniacally, as usual, when Rudra screams at the sight of Shivanand's head in the box (the 4th box ? the one that was supposed to be his gift to Rudra? ) need not mean that he can see Rudra's reaction, but could be just what he anticipates will happen, the thought of which makes him laugh.
That whole Rudra-Dansh scene was bad comedy, and the police handling of the
nagas + their bombs was pure farce.
In fact, this episode is beginning to make my old fears resurface. I was greatly reassured by the elegance and the mystical glamour of the metamorphosis episodes, but I have written earlier, and repeatedly, that the toughest task for the makers would be to make the climax credible, and then to wrap it all up neatly with no loose ends. Last night was hardly reassuring in this context.

PS: Is "obnoxious" not allowed in the IF?

I dont know Santhi. The first meeting of Garuda Pramukh and Maha rakshak fell so flat.
And the dialogues - unko goli di thi, tumko chocolate de raha hoon ---- as happy would say - what did the writers have before they wrote this?
The whole bomb thing fell flat.
One - After the massacre if the black hooded nagas have been identified, how come they are again roaming freely?
If they were spotted on the radar, and had dangerous bombs - why were they not apprehended before planting the bomb?
What authority do Rudra and Charles have that DM is allowed to share all govt resources and take them along on these missions while the cops are not involved in any law and order situation?
And those clear footprints - the only footprints in that area - how convenient is that ! juvemile stuff
If the bombs ware not to go off at all, it was as you said much ado about nothing, and dansh is not evil he is just a joker.
Dansh knows all about Rudra including his divya drishti, and he has his own divya drishti which is sharper than rudras, so he could know they got the bombs, after that where they met.
It was full of holes and bloopers and logic maiyya in coma like our maya memsahib
Rahil was the only entertainment, Gauti was too dumbstruck by the stupidity of the bomb episode I guess, so couldnt react at all!!!
For me it was the worst episode of the show. written by a 10 year old.

It was not a bad episode. It was good in parts. There was intensity in the first half. But fizzed out in the later half.
Arshi, your harpic comparision was funny.
The whole episode turned out to be much ado about nothing. There was not much panic. Just these 3 musketeers looking for the bombs. Everything done perfectly? Too simplistic. While the plot was simplistic, the execution was ok.
Now the other factor. ie. Honorable Mr. Dansh. The way he counted down was just 'obno***ous'. It was way too OTT. Towards the end of the ulti ginti.
Rudra-Dansh face-off was good. Dansh is at the receiving end due to stereotyping.
Like I said earlier, Rudra and Dansh tried to unnerve each other but both didn't fall for the bait. Especially Rudra. That line from Bhairavi is going to be repeated often now.
