The same exemplary tempo continues in this episode also
An evil man can also have finer moments of self revelation(though may be for a very short period)
Some moments stick with our lives for ever. We have the powerful moments of friendship and love; another one grief and despair.
When the evil Padmanandh met his beloved daughter for the last time; drank the last drop of water from her hands; asked her to perform his death rites...just overwhelming
When an husband refuses to leave his wife in distress and promises to give her support; finally agrees to give her permission to see her father for the last time as a friend as well as the samrat of Magadh..all these moments are to be cherished for ever.
We would not have felt satisfied if Pnandh was just murdered by the Govt assassin.
Even in the last minute, he rages;question Chandra's heroism; feels violent uncontrolled anger; daringly invites Chandra Gupta Maurya for a final confrontation
By getting a signal from Acharya, CGM ventured into a last fight with Pnandh...the sequences give us goose bumps
The foolish Helana was gloating on illegal affairs of Nandini...but here comes Apama...the cleverest villain to refute the idea and will have better ideas for her daughter to gain the heart of Chandra
The scene settings to give farewell to Padmandh are artistically created
These all take this episode from good to best
We can see the rage building up in Chandra' face after years of search for his staunch enemy; when consoling his grieving wife, Rajat exuding compassion and warmth is superb and marvellous
As usual the skilled and talented actor Rajat has delivered us an outstanding performance when he supported his wife and came to fight with nandh directly.
Swetha as Nandini just dives in and do whatever it takes to do justice to the role while playing an affectionate daughter to her father and a loving wife to her husband
