Loved this weeks's episodes and honestly the actor who plays Udiya baba is brilliant. I was in tears watching his scenes. Whenever he says "Vishu" it makes me choke because the pain in his voice is palpable. The pain of losing a child, the worst pain in the world I think!

Arshiji loved the episodes this week. I did not find it surprising that there were some people planning to kill Rudra in the sea as the scene had already been set previously. In some posts it was mentioned that it just was out of the blue. The appearance of the Sadhus and their trishuls and young Rudra being unaware of what is happening behind his back has been done to highlight the mysticism surrounding Rudra. The most poignant scenes were of Robin Das and Seem a Biswas. There was a knot in my throat when I watched Udiya baba suffering for the lost of his son. In credible how good He is.

Udiya Baba is a tormented man. His torment is made so clear by Mr Robin Das. Hats off sir! Never seen him before but just love him now. Poland scenes were good but not as good as Banaras. I agree. Yes, both father's made the ultimate sacrifice for the child they had come to love. The child who has become their salvation from their guilt of letting another child down!

Waiting for Gauty's entry but will miss young Rudra and also Punnu Tiwari! :) as usual Sima Biswas as Maimui excelled. Loved the Ram Leela and setting Ravan on fire! Great scenes, very dramatic!

Yes the scenes in Poland were not well directed so agree with 4 out of 5.

Looking forward to this week and Gautam Rode, though I will miss this handsome young Rudra and his intensity.

Hi Arshi...


So I was right that either Udiya Baba or Maimui has to go down to take this to the next logical level...

I like the Udiya Baba actor's acting, but felt the audio recording needs to be better...not easy to pick out his diction or what he's saying lying in the burns unit and then having to guess a little from the next scenes...maybe I saw this online is the reason...

Liked the Ram Leela scene in the earlier epi...was keeping fingers crossed and hoping we do not get the tacky CGIs when it started and was not let dowm...fortunately the scene was pretty well shot...

To tell you the truth, just don't like the entire Poland track...If you look at it the story in India would have progressed independent of it ...on the contrary it jars the entire India track narrative...its just wasteful and only goes round and round...

1) Father Shiva is apparently now a skilled ancient martial arts expert who can take on 8 - 10 people singel-handed...then how did this guy then manage to get kidnapped by two bozos who only had to put a hood over his face?

2) What was he doing all these 12 long years in such a passive prisoner profile? If he belongs to some Shiv something sect (did not catch the name) and is apparently pretty important as the guardian of the special boy Rudra...what were the other sect members doing all these 12 years? No one tried to find him or the boy?

3) Dont just get the track with the boy Cuba and his abused mother at all? Also, will a woman who is continuing in a abusive relationship with a violent partner and is scared shitless for the safety of her son...will she ever get the gumption to shelter a male stranger in her own home??

4) At some point, the show makers are trying to mirror the relationship between Rudra and his foster father in Father Shiva and Cuba...but its not coming out well at all...

5) The apparently dreaded 'secret' society has no fear of being outed when its members land helicopters in the middle of a town road, with the head lackey carrying a sniper rifle / machine gun and pointing it any anyone...and then letting the only witnesses to this 'secret' society (mother and cuba) off...

Reminded me of the scene from Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron...Duryodhana telling the Pandavs..."Pandav bhaiyon ab aap log ghar jaayiye..hum bhojan ke baad Draupadi bhabhi ko aapke paas bhijwaa denge"

6) Manish Wadhwa is such a fantastic actor and they make him wear that silly wig and ask him to do action rather than emote / act is just criminal and wasteful.

While we wait for GRs entry next week, if the intention was to create some back stories for the plot going forward, it seems to be not so effective...teen Rudra would have aged another 5 - 10 years to become GR...so did Shaolin Master Father Shiva again go back to passive prisoner?

- Udiya baba's back story will seemingly die with him and may not have anything in the future...however it helped to round off his motives and completed his character. And was used to make Rudra self-aware and given him a reason for his brooding aggressive character as GR.

- Poland...no idea whats being attempted in this track...hope something comes out of it..
