jo rah chuni tune, uss rah pe raahi chalte Jana re
Ho kitni bhi lambi raat, diya ban jalte Jana re
Today was the day, when all the Amrit ke daavedaar set out for the Amrit koi khoj
So we have
7 garudas, who in 7 days have to conquer 7 doors to reach the Amrit
And save it from the nagas
While the garudas are all united with their eyes on the goal, and truth and purity of intent
The nagas are a divided force now
Leela and drish are one team, and Danish in the other
Mahaguru, who was earlier pulling all the strings
Seems to have disappeared, but I am sure we are still to see his prophecy of
Aayega amrit jeetega Vish
The nagas all have reached the mysterious place
While the garudas are about to set out on their journey
They were delayed, one by the masses who came to bid farewell to them
And are awaiting their return full of hope
And delayed by the missing shiva
Bhairavi, though she seems to be antaryami for A lot of things
Still doesn't trust shiva and seemed convinced that he had deserted them
Rudra of course trusted his father and his vishwas won
I didn't like the lame and easy death of the secret kingpin of the much dreaded consortium that had its tentacles in high places internationally.
Prof Raos death should've had some drama, na. Though of course, he did try to make it as filmy as he could,
Clutching his heart and slowly crumbling down
And shiva, after killing Rao and grerson, felt all scores were settled and he could join the fight for Amrit
Tan, man aur dhan se ( reminds me of tanu weds Manu - nice film btw )
A not bad episode- a little pheeka - maybe the calm before the storm
What didn't work for me - the bhashans, the maharakshak ke jai slogans
And Rao ki easy breezy death
Putting rudra on that throne yesterday and all those maharakshak ki jai slogans - again - didn't gel with me - gives an egoistic and narcissistic edge to rudras character that doesn't gel with his character
So I am giving this episode a 6/10, but yes, it set the stage and the scene for high drama, and the battle ahead!
