Rithvik and Asha: A League of Their Own

I have nothing but kudos for these two actors who have graced the face of Tellywood. For the first time in eons, I have never been as captivated by PR as I have today. The terrace scene. These two actors did what many struggle to do. The two transcended their dialogues on paper, their repulsive characters, even this horrible track with this short scene. They must've only had minutes to rehearse and limited takes to get their lines right, but they brought a film worthy level of gravity. Takes true talent to make a make a pristine diamond from coals. 👏

Rithvik had me with his forceful grip and and dammits. Regardless of the spineless character Arjun had deteriorated to, I felt sympathy for him, for a struggling father trying to get justice for his Pari. When asked, "You're Purvi's father, right? So, Ovi must be her mother" he was brought to his brim. I sympathized with him because of the complete mockery made of their night before the wedding.

For an instant, Asha made me feel sorry for Purvi and her misconstrued idea of her family's happiness. Right down from her whimpering to "Ha, yeh sach hain" dialogue, I felt for her. I wanted her to be helped, despite being the monster of a mother she's been made into.

I would've wanted nothing more but an epiphany from Mishti; for her to return to the Purvi with a moral compass. I, for one, wanted ArVi back in that very instant. I wanted to see Arjun envelop Purvi in his reassuring arms. I wanted to see Purvi promise to make amends for the sake of Pari and Arjun. I wanted to see ArVi start afresh.

Alas, CVs butcher the ending with Mishti running away from her problems, running away from a distraught Arjun. Just as she always has. Pre-cap tells us she'll only confide in her Onir babu and expect his to solve all her problems. Really, this is Mishti with the same face as Purvi. 😡 All I can hope for now is that Arjun joins the "dark" side. I hope his paternal sentiment is so overwhelming that he joins Mittal in the efforts to disclose Onir and Purvi's wicked game of baby "gifting." 🤢

These two can speak volume with their eyes, but can deafen viewers if given a decent amount of screen time. Special kudos to RD, who can steal a kiss from Asha and shake her up. 😉

P.S. CV's, you have two gems of actors who are the best of friends off-screen. Need I tell you what more to do? (Hint, hint: Don't reduce them to menial lines and two minutes of screen time)
