He kicked ass today on multiple levels.
Firstly he looked good, which he always does that's a no brainer! handsome as always!
Number two his brutal side before his loved ones was perfect. The scene with Swarna in particular struck a cord and I like the doors that scene opened into Swarnas life again good move.
His initiative is perfect this time around as was his compassion in the scene where he sees Gayatri has been waiting outside his room.
Light and the end of the tunnel indeed!
