Yet he'll take death and not seeing his child for life rather than reveal the truth about it. But he's not a quiet man either. He'll do anything to get out except reveal the truth.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Rudra's mother - For the first time we see Rudra's mother. Now it remains to be seen how she'll be shown 12 years later without her husband and son. What is she doing to find her son? What is she doing to find her husband? Or has she been told that they are both dead?</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Shivanand's escape -Not just an escape, but the Polish people's loss as well. And it doesn't matter what has happened with him for 12 years. He has enough strength to escape. And though his escape isn't as great as his son's, it really shows how the 2 are alike.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Erasing the tattoo - Even as he tries to erase the tattoo,he also shows great strength when he refuses to let the pain stop him. Right now the main thing for him is erasing the mark somehow. Add to that the symbolism of the sudden storm and it once again tells you how important this mark/tattoo is. And what adds to its importance is the way it suddenly heals itself. It's the first sign of Rudra's superpowers. And there are more to come.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Battling against all odds - Mai goes against the storm, goes against the people rushing away, and does the one thing that no one else did. She stops Rudra. It shows you how much she feels for her son. She will do anything for him to heal and yet his powers will continue to surprise her to no end.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">A great third episode as well. May this greatness continue. If any episode ever falls below these standards then it will be a bad day indeed for the show.</font>

Excellent sum up.Thanks for sharing.The storyline and the symbolism it carries is highly intriguing.Initially thought of just looking at a single episode due to its different storyline but got completely hooked up by impressive acting and excellent direction.Hope they keep up this intensity.The tatoo removing scene was superbly shot so is his fathers escape scene.

The story telling is so good, I love the standard of the episodes so far, I agree if it goes below it turn it will really harm the show. I hope they don't ruin it by stretching it out unnecessarily and adding irrelevant stuff to it. Just don't want it to loose it's way.

Whatever happened to his own mother anyway? Did she know more about Rudra than she really let on? Who was the woman who tried to pull Rudra down when he fell into river?

Mai is awesome. She mothers him and at the same time gives him space. She hasn't forced him to tell her about his past and has waited patiently for decade for him to open up about the nightmares he has been having.

It almost seems like two great forces are playing chess by some weird rules and all the humans on this planet are its pawns...
