Everything is okay. But I see no justification for Shiv looking so guilty and downcast. Initially it was still okay but not still. There is only wife and family fighting for the man. Not the man fighting for his own honour and integrity.
I dislike Brijesh and Rasika. Nothing good about their acting. Look like bhaade ke tattu.
Being better than Sanchi is no compliment.
Handling of track is poor. Made me shift to other serial in 8 PM slot on SP.
BV I watch in repeats now. And it does not feel like I missed anything if I am unable to watch it someday.
BV makes joke of what it means to be IAS or MLA.
Anup was biggest ham in this. Poorest of the lot. Now I see why they keep him silent.😆
What we are doing here is to differentiate between the writing and the acting.
The writing is good in parts and very shoddy in others.
Rasika and Brajesh have been sketched unrealistically. A PA who has worked with a succession of IAS officers will have more sophistication.
For an IAS officer, Brajesh is similarly too crass. Many of them are crooks but they carry an external sophistication that comes with training and grooming at the IAS academy.
In fact you can identify an IAS officer from a mile because of a certain external sophistry and the manner of his/her behaviour, however, immoral or corrupt he/she may be.
But within the bounds of the script that has been handed to them, both actors, in my opinion, have done a good job.
If you go back and look at Brajesh's interaction with Anandi both times, you can see that he is a fine actor. As I said earlier, he is able to show his kameenapan and cunning without overacting.
In the second scene, where A makes him fetch water, he was spot on. When Anandi "innocently" sympathises with him over his divorce and says she was unaware of the fact, he figures out what she is driving at and lashes at her: "Why should you know? Are you my relative?"
You can almost identify with his extreme irritation with Anandi. For me the delightful part was A's transformation from politically correct, mahaan character to one capable of subtle mischief.
The lines were good as also the execution.
Whether Anandi should have gone there and said what she said, is always open to question.
The post was strictly about whether the actors were able to do what the script wanted them to do.
That we have huge problems with the script does not take away from the acting. Agree that Shiv by now should have recovered and put on his thinking cap. Him saying he trusts the Indian judiciary is really no help because courts proceed on the basis of evidence..
Though as I said in an earlier post, there is no evidence against him and therefore he cannot be convicted. I wish they had brought out this angle in the family conversations instead of merely reiterating that he has done no crime.
I hope against hope that they don't end up showing lack of evidence in his favour means he can be convicted.
The prosecution has not produced one piece of evidence against him. Without eyewitnesses and other material evidence, the prosecution cannot simply assume that Narendra committed suicide and therefore Shiv is guilty of abetment.
Even assuming N committed suicide, it could be because he was betrayed by his wife.
Lack of favourable evidence does not mean presence of guilt. Guilt is proved by presence of convictable evidence.
