Good analysis Meghana. 😛 I for one did not much enjoy the much anticipated episode yesterday. 😕 I was expecting the finale Ben episodes to be like sitting on the edge kind, but what I got was full on action-packed, rushed (why the hurry CVs when we could sit through so many filler episodes), over the top and 60's, 70's, 80's style potboiler movie climax. Maybe I should stop expecting too much. The direction was abysmal, keeping in mind that it was an important scene.
However, despite feeling grumpy and low about it, what caught my attention was the first prayer scene and muh dikhai scene. They were really good and the only worth-watching scenes of the episode for me. I loved Jo's expressions when Ben was mixing the sevai. I loved when she took the sevai and drank it, while Jallu kept staring at her. I also loved her fainting and falling in Jallu's arms. However the scene where she could still manage to say her final kartavya part was a bit too much. I mean it was needed but somehow it again reminded me of the past movies when hero says his aakhri words before death😆. I was actually of the belief that the poison would be so strong that she will not wake up again (Shahenshah ke liye poison to strong hona chahiye tha)😆 Jallu's initial expression of disbelief and shock was beautiful.
Ben capturing Ruq was again full on filmy style. All great generals including Shahenshah were listening to Ben, when she was making a Dracula like face as if to bite Ruq. Sab khade ki khade reh gaye. No action at all. Mughal sultanate was at a standstill.😆 Ben was doing all the action, aakhir uska finale episode hai.😆
Ben and Ruq going on a horse ride was again hilarious. I was laughing aloud. Ben was riding while Ruq was in her sleeping pose, more so like a sack of vegetables. What was contrasting was Ruq's sentences in two different scenes. During the start of the episode she said 'Ben, you are looking beautiful today' and then she was telling her 'humne kya bigada hai apka'😆 But, she deserved it. Again, Ruq picking up the stone and hitting Ben was liking 'oh God again'.
Again, Abul Mali bhaag gaya. That was the limit to all the craziness that was happening in the episode and I was thinking that he was kept in a dark dungeon where even parinde bhi par nahi maar sakte😆 But yaha to parinda hi udd gaya. All Jallu said was kya mazzak chal raha hai and I was nodding my head.
Meghana, somehow today, I didn't enjoy even Rajat's acting. The distraught look on his face and the fear of losing someone very dear when Hakim sahiba says that abhi 8 ghante nazuk hai (again very filmy) was somehow missing. It was more of sadness and concern mixed together. Maybe there were some continuity problems in the episode, why I also felt that in one/two instances, Rajat's dialogues didn't match with his lip movement. Again, this is my personal opinion and surely a lot would disagree.😊
