@ Ila & Priya:
Great responses. Thank you. Yes the chemistry between SvetKara is evident. The Hate chemistry is always good between two "Equals" and that is what Om and Svet are. Svetlana is a classy and watchable vamp and a worthy opponent.
Despite glitches in the story of Om, the makers have given him a very interesting and individual type story. Even before, his angst, family dramas, drug issues, hiding Priyanka's truth etc, gave him more of an edge. We have seen Omkara the "individual" not just Omkara the brother, son, Boyfriend etc. We saw him as a friend to Ishana, we saw him as an opponent with ACP Ranveer. I always enjoyed his scenes with ACP. They had some really good "Tashan-filled" scenes I really liked. Omkara was never shown fighting a girl. But now he IS, and she is a villain. That makes it more interesting.
Om is reserving judgemental Kara for Gauri right now and I am sure we will see a lot of that even later when the "Impersonating a guy" story comes out. I can only imagine the "Horror" of that moment! I too would like to see more OmRuLana & RuLana scenes as well. Even more OmRu in the context of their changed life situations would be good too.OmRu having a heart to heart about Saumya.
Even Rudra's individual story is not bad. His run in with a Devi and his shallow surface attitudes that hide another deeper side. I want to see them really explored well in DBO. Both Om and Rudra have had more "individual" stories than a couple story to date, which has actually been beneficial to us in seeing more of their individual personalities. Even with their pairings in place and that story in play, I hope they don't lose total focus on their individuality. But it is enjoyable to see Om having to deal with "domestic" issues like a demanding fiancee and an honor killing prevention wife. Commitment phobic Omkara who's relationship with Ridhimma was pretty much "Thanda", has a much hotter equation with a woman he hates and a woman he judges. Now they are both going to be in the same place at once, this Sh*t just got real! 😉
