A whack on the head

poor shiva got one from Bhairavi

Arshi thanks for the post. i agree with the marks given to Manishji who performed a schizophrenic very well.

Watched Thursday & today's episodes at one go... Manish Wadhwa gets a 10/10 from me, considering the toughness of the act. He and SB are a class apart.

Great post Arshi, thanks. Agreed Manishji's acting was awesome today.

Shiva has been through so much. Loved MB today. She was the sole Garud who knew what a catastrophe Shiva's blue Garud chinn is. All the rest of the Garuds - Wish they had more brains than emotions. At times its very difficult to accept the good winning over evil just because niyati wanit that way. Why not the concept that only those who help themselves would get the required help to go with it. Am tired of these emotional Garuds who have no idea of the dangers to cross and have not an ounce of pro-activeness.. Guess Rudra really is the weakest link or so it seems as of now.

acting wise mashish i love him

but i really disappointed with rudra .directer usse kuch dimaag kyun nahi dete oh god now i m fed up. pls wake up rudra

Rest of the episode was not impressive for me.😡 There was darshan of balivesh and Nanu.

Garud are for gaurding the Amrut kumbh which is going to reappear/ visible in Mahakumbh. Historically Nag never got hold of Amrut kumbh which they are going to try now. Except MB non of the other Garud are shown thinking any tactics or strategy. A whack on everyone's head is needed was my opinion after the episode.😛

on a lighter note, what a huge mouth our Shiva has (it was quite scary actually). I really expected him to bite Rudra anytime😕. But commendable acting nonetheless. Kudos to Manish Wadhwa

@Arshics the epi belonged to Shiva though the last part was bit intolerable for me. Garuds have a brain now that is not functioning correctly. Their heart is functioning right, but heart is only force, direction has to come from head. So now Garuds have the force but no direction and force without direction is dangerous the way Shiva is behaving.

Arshi my dear,

As usual, this is pithy, and funny in parts, with a nice ironic flavour. My favourite part is that very neat pun:And Garudas are minus dimaag.

At the risk of sounding like Ms.Grinch, I must confess that I found the Shiva-Rudra scene way too long at 3 1/2 minutes, and monotonous to boot. Yes, Manish's part must have been difficult to do, but once the actor gets the hang of portraying a man in a nightmare, no more than the deep hysterics I have seen on TV. There was no need for subtlety in such a high decibel sequence, and as for Rudra , he was stuck with a ( literally) single expression of confused horror and helplessness.

Where was the need to stretch it beyond a minute? A minute is a long time for such scenes, and if it has been just that long, the impact would have been far greater. As it was, I was reminded of Shahrukh Khan's final, long drawn out death scene in Bhansali's Devdas. I was watching it in The Hague with a largely Indian audience, and one chap commented audibly Yeh mar kyon nahin jaata, aur hum ghar ja sakte the! It was almost like that for me last night.

Moreover, I was expecting every moment that Shiva would suddenly turn violent, which would at least have made some sense, but he went on and on and on with the same terrified ranting. I am a great admirer of Manish Wadhwa, but not for this kind of stuff. I am not personally acquainted, unlike some here, with the behaviour pattterns of schizophrenics, nor am I sure that is what Shiva is, but I am sure of one thing. Like the torture scenes and the hallucination scenes, this is something I am not keen on watching.

I was not surprised that Rudra would not tolerate the standard exorcism techniques for his father, even if it is MB doing it, and seeing that she is convinced it is necessary, a daraar between Rudra and MB seems on the cards. Bas, yahi ek cheez baaki thi, that the Garud Pramukh should be at loggerheads with the one fellow garud who has both the gyaan and the power to get them where they need to get. If Rudra were to alienate MB, the whole mission would be sunk as thoroughly as the Titanic was.

Even if MB does not abandon him and them - and I am sure she will not - if Rudra will not let her treat Shivanand her way (which does not surprise me, for it looks very harsh, too harsh for a son to take when the patient is his father ) they will be just as badly off as now, for no one else will know how to cure Shiva either.

Arshi, I am already sick and tired of the endless travails of the garuds, who are, as of now, precisely nowhere. I do not know how they are going to be catapulted willy nilly into the last stage of a cohesive, effective rakshak group, but right now it seems like a mrigtrishna, forever receding. And where on earth is Prof.Rao just when he is needed the most??

And what was it with Greyerson's new saathi or boss? He looked like a zombie with blue spects.

The only one who seems to know what he needs to do is Guru Drish, with his plan to tunnel in and possibly thru to Sector 53, so as to be already on the spot when the amrit kalash surfaces. He has become unusually decisive of late, and has relegated Dansh to staying put at Naga Hqrs while he himself plays the star role of the Naga Mole (pun intended!😉).

I think it will be good if the show wraps up as scheduled with 120 episodes. They have not got anywhere much in 77 episodes, so what can one expect but more of such OTT stuff if they get an extension? Better stick to the original idea and let us go in peace!

Yes, at times it looked as it he was having his tonsils examined.😉
