Let's get right down to business. š
Positives:
- Deven turns out to be Trisha's cousin brother. Wow! It was a nice change to Trisha's character to see her emotional side. And the way Rajbir and Raghav tried to talk to Trisha. And then Trisha saying it's a police case not for CBI to handle. It was all well-done and gave another level to everyone.
- Rajbir not believing the story. Thank you for not suddenly making him scared of bhoots and aatmas and stuff.
- Paritosh Pandey. As soon as I heard Raghav say this name I knew it was him. And Rajbir's knowing smile said the same. But damn his entry was too good! š¤£ Parimal Tripathi yaad aa gaya, Hey Babyy wala. š¤£ And then Raghav actually taking on the role fully with the underhand bribes and what not.
- The subtle clues. I loved this throughout the episode. The clues weren't shoved in your face or obvious. They were hidden and subtle. There for you to pick up on, but not so obvious either.
- Trisha's concern and Raghav "fikar ho rahi hai meri, hmmm". That was a sweet moment. Especially the way Raghav said that line.
- The team distribution. Gauri and Bikram weren't sidelined. I was half-expecting them not to show up at all. And Trisha and Rajbir had something important to do as well.
- Revealing the "bhoot". I liked how Trisha and Raghav did that.
- Finding Sharmin's body. I like how Raghav didn't reveal everything right away.
- Revealing the crime. Kind of bland. But at the same time it made sense. It was unfeeling.
- The ending with a mention of Raghav's father's killer and Raghav promising to kill him no matter how long it takes him to find the killer.
Negatives:
- The beginning was an exact copy of a CID episode, The Mystery of Room No. 17. The only difference is in CID it was a tourist girl.
- A very long intro. And not terrifying at all.
- An obvious criminal. And no it wasn't fully the same as the one in the CID episode. But it was still quite obvious. And I won't give away the name. Technically it was more than one criminal, but one main and one not so main. I do have to say the only reason I knew who the criminal was, was because of his face expressions and attempts at being so scary. Else maybe not so obvious.
- The stupid horror story. I'm sorry, but first the horror is not terrifying and then the back story is stupid.
- Back to the old CBI building. Grr!!!
- The inconsistent timings as to when room # 1406 was locked. They keep saying different times with different stories. It's confusing.
- When Trisha got the register, she said Sharmen stayed there 3 years ago (the last guest). Yet a few scenes later, they talked about Sharmen disappearing 2 years ago. Inconsistent?
- Lack of consistency with Raghav's background. Previously they would show Raghav remembering the childhood incident if he was in a dark, closed room. Yet nothing like that here? Really?
Overall the case was actually quite good for a bhootiya story. You should watch it once. My rating is a 3/5.
