Disappointed on all levels...I expected much more than this in writing, direction, acting, editing everything. This was the most important n crucial episode till date n it was definitely not upto the mark.
I never expected jhanvi to be mahaan. She didn't care about involving innocents in her revenge too, so I didn't expect her to melt down or anything. But the lady who's hands were shaking to pull a trigger when her sister's life was at stake, just a week ago or so, now easily, like very very easily put the place on fire to burn someone alive. I can not digest this progress. I would have taken this had they shown that jhanvi was baffled due to sudden turn of events n she wanted to complete her revenge before she is exposed n she did this in the moment. But I can not take this as well planned smoothly executed activity. Also, someone who knows the pain of losing their loved ones, specifically father, shall not really kill the father of someone else. I didn't expect her to attempt to kill PK, I expected her to make him confess or trap him. But well, I'll accept this.
Direction was poor too. Both jhanvi n PK were shot through that net most of the time n the net totally spoiled their expressions for me. They were not easily visible hence could not create a great impact
Acting was not upto the mark. PK always shouts horribly. But today jhanvi did the same too. Why was shrenu screaming n screeching like that! It was monotonous, first and it didn't evoke any emotions in me. Because I couldn't feel any pain in her due to all the screeching. Shrenu spoke through her eyes in previous episodes whenever her past would haunt her n that rage n pain could be seen in her eyes. Today I could not see that, she was only screaming her lungs out.
No words for the editing. What a horrible fire it was. Like literally red fire? Kuch bhi!
But I want to applaud for Zain. What a terrific performance. Right from his questioning Amma to smartly catching her red handed to his disbelief about what his father has done to shock on learning that his father is in danger to his concern when he sees his dad set on fire to his determination that he'll save him to his care of taking medical help for his dad to finally anger regarding what his dad did years ago n his frustration about the revenge saga! U never fail to make me proud Zain, in such strong scenes!đ
More than for jhanvi, I felt for Kabir today. Though he has hated his dad all his life, but he couldn't see him dying in front of his eyes n he was just a small kid at that moment when he wanted nothing but his dad. He forgot all the differences n saved him not out of humanity but out of his hidden love for him. Very well projected! PK is one selfish person but the way he hugged Zain n called him mere bete...it was an emotional moment.
Let's see what the revamped version holds for us. After all these events, I see no scope for scrapping KK. Truth is out n everybody will obviously trust Kavya now. If she is still kept out of the picture, it's gonna look very artificial as it is obvious the family will apologies to her for distrusting n humiliating her n would want her back for Kabir. She too will ideally give second chance to their relationship as all is well now, family trusts her n kabir has kept his words n proved her right. Let's see how it goes. Hope it's not disappointing.
