Positives:

  1. I like how the whole conversation about what happened and why CBI was there happened all at the crime scene.
  2. I also liked that the discussion on the gas happened right there at the crime scene.
  3. Trisha taking lead and giving orders. She was in charge and it showed. She led the discussions, she asked the questions, and she talked to the officer-in-charge. Nicely done CVs.
  4. The momentary flashback into Raghav's past when the inspector was trying to talk to Jigar. Nicely done. It connected well with the scene and gave a leeway into Raghav's past as well.
  5. Another well-done scene was between Raghav and Jigar. That hug. Jigar was reaching out to Raghav and you could see it in Raghav's eyes. He was touched by the gesture. Then he took Jigar home so that he could get out of his trauma. Aww... ❤️
  6. Rajbir and Bikram questioning the staff. The thing to note here is how both Bikram and Rajbir kept switching positions and taking turns asking questions.
  7. Rajbir's comment, "Aap sab kuch khul ke batayein," showed how perceptive he was. His character has been developed really well. Another comment, "Lekin kitne choron ko aapke lab main gas chamber chalna aata hoga". Kudos to the dialogue writer for this and kudos to Danish for doing this so casually.
  8. Bikram with Rajat Khemka. Good character development for Bikram. The amusing tone, the being-in-charge tone, the posture...all well done.
  9. Rajbir finding Pratibha's dead body. He was sensible and followed protocol. Nicely done.
  10. Raghav and Trisha with Jigar. Aww...❤️ Bikram's cluelessness just added to the sweetness of the scene. Too sweet. And then Bikram being the first to notice the person at the window. This entire scene was so well planned out. Raghav and Trisha were focused on Jigar. Raghav's past came out in words as well. The only one not concentrated on Jigar was Bikram and so it was but second nature for him to notice the person at the window first.
  11. Yes, yes, yes! Bikram in action! Finally!
  12. Trisha and Bikram with Dr. Shashi. I liked the matter-of-fact way both talked to him.
  13. The hazmat suit discovery. Yes. Well done.
  14. Raghav's comment on Digvijay's murder.

Negatives:

  1. Are outside visitors really allowed like Jigar was in a lab? The last time I visited a lab here, I had to suit up. And we were just on a school visit. Staying there for a longer time must require more protection.
  2. Is this murderer half-crazed? He was in such a rush to kill Vatsala that he didn't care that Jigar was watching. Come on use your brain. If there's a kid watching, just come back another day. No one saw you.
  3. I do resent the fact that they show Raghav having knowledge in everything. I get sign language as he's a psychiatrist, but even knowing about chemicals? He's Raghav, not Superhuman.
  4. Another very obvious ad of something to do with phones. Whatever it is. I skipped it.
  5. The suspense and thrill. It's kind of obvious that the murderer is not going to get to Jigar until the end. So the suspense and thrill is kind of killed there.
  6. Umm...I know I may sound suspicious here, but how could Raghav be sure that the old lady is Jigar's dadi? Given that the murderer may try to kill Jigar, wouldn't Raghav want to check that it wasn't someone hired by the murderer once? After all anyone can make up a story when the only people who could corroborate it are dead.
  7. Honestly man. The CVs make the murderer so obvious. The moment Jigar's dadi entered it was kind of obvious she was behind it all. Then you add in Raghav talking to Trisha in front of her, Raghav giving her a gun, and no CBI agent being around at the time Jigar is "attacked", and it's like packed and gift-wrapped just for us.
  8. The case of the missing Swati. CVs you don't learn do you. First Gauri and now Swati. Maybe this actress will leave and then you'll understand that she wants to be seen, not just be named!

General Comments:

  1. I'm mixed on the intro. It was sweet, but was it really necessary? There were other ways to show that Jigar is mute and deaf.
  2. CVs don't even know how to spell "research". They wrote "reserch". 😆
  3. Raghav jimmying the lock. 😆 I don't know why his casual comment "Chabbi dhoondne ka waqt nahi hai" and his casual jimmying of the lock made me laugh.
  4. I was mixed on why Raghav spoke to Trisha in front of Jigar's dadi. I thought maybe it was his plan, but then I thought that he was crazy to do so. Of course he never does anything without having a reason so I was leaning closer to my former thought.

This was a good case. Well planned. Well thought out. Well written. The character development happened with the investigation. Raghav and Jigar's bond was sweet. The murderer was a bit obvious, though her accomplice wasn't. At least not until he was the only one left. A few problems, but overall well done. I'll give it a 3.5/5.

I have to add...that precap looks damn cool! But at the same time the first thing that crossed my mind was Jewel Thief with a twist. Damn the CVs if they copy this classic movie!

nice review shreya, i liked the "bhoot, smashaan, creepy, haunting, horror" free case after so many episodes.. good episode, aww i loved raghav's bond with Jigar and also trisha, raghav scene with jigar. Where is swati ?? nevertheless Bikram and Rajvir got good dialogues and scenes.
but the killer is dadi which was quite obvious when she entered, i somehow expected it to be related to her professional life, like vatsala testing some samples of an industry waste and was about to prepare a reports and then those guys killing her,...but half way through it became obvious that it's a family matter

and the precap is quite intriguing and interesting .we will see diff side of raghav as in character wise !!

It was a good episode. I LOVED the interaction between Raghav and Jigar but it was painful too when I realized that Jigar had Raghav but who was there for Raghav in his past????
I think he knew about the chemicals because it's pesticide which is used commonly but he is a psychiatrist so he should have taken science which has chemistry, or maybe because they are CBI they are supposed to know these type of info, sorry i am just trying to give reasons why Raghav knows everything😆
and I felt the chaabi wala dialogue funny too.
But damn!!! The precap has hooked me. Mafia??? OMG
