Give me acting anyday

Yes, Rudra cries a lot, a lot more than we are accustomed to in our past shows where men are either so stoic to the point of being insensitive dolts or so stupid to the point of getting easily manipulated by the conniving villains. Rudra is neither. He is a man unto himself who knows his priorities and is not afraid to show how he hurts to one and only person in the world -> his Paro. Do you see him crying his eyeballs out to anyone else? No, because Paro is his soulmate and he feels free to express himself around her.

Paro is stupid? How did we even deduce that? In the early days of the show, I've bemoaned that Paro needs more lines and more screen time. The writers did not give her back story adequate attention and I have now reconciled to the fact that I will never get her back story because really her childhood never meant much to the narrative. What matters more for forward progression is how she feels in the here and now. She is torn between warring emotions for her husband and her mother-figure. She is trying her best to bridge the two conflicting worlds in her own serene and pacifist ways. She is the unshaken base on which Rudra can do his emotional thandav.

while neither characters may live up to our expectations, I will say this for Rangrasiya. The leads are superbly talented and can really act well. The two are mostly natural in their expressions and any flaws are really because they were never given the lines or screen space to cover the gaps.

Given the kind of juvenile and baloney acting most leads do in most other shows (I wont name names but I've ventured out there and I can tell you in most shows have either one or both protagonist who act like they just flunked out of their acting schools), give me solid acting, as done by Ashish and Sanaya and I will watch almost any crap just to see them together, sharing the same screen space.

There is my spiel - padhna hai tho padho

But what's with this juvenile nonsense about name calling??! Like seriously there are some vicious viewers out there who seem to be having problems with tears and calm and sensible behaviour. Ok so some things are moving fast but hey it's a show and the story's gotta move right?

Or you can be like me and watch it for the seriously awesome hair that our hot hot Bannas been blessed with and the gorgeous clothes that our Baisas has...

Thanks for this post!!
