As we now wait with bated breath for sangeet episodes next week, I want to take a moment and acknowledge the MHRW Team for the LION track of the past two weeks.
From what I gather, the track had to be hastily constructed to accommodate the absence of cast/crew who were suddenly forced into covid quarantine.
The pressures of producing a daily serial are tremendous under ideal circumstances---so we can imagine how much more stress rested on the shoulders of the remaining Team during these recent weeks.
Under the circumstances I feel they did rather well. The track was an entertaining departure. It managed to be fulfilling without derailing the main track. I never found it frivolous nor did I feel the production values suffered.
The writing remained strong and there were many subtle details in scenes that showed the Team was engaged. The loss of half the cast provided more focus on the leads. Pallavi nursing Raghav was sweet. And their exchange of voice messages made me smile. Some well-executed stunts were seen. Raghav chasing Lion. Thrilling moments of Pallavi held at gunpoint followed by their coordinated attack.
I also grew to appreciate the actresses who play Sulo and Amruta. Amruta turning up at RR's mansion high was hilarious. And Pallavi being smeared with colour by Raghav was a clever trick.
All in all---I'm glad LION is now behind bars and the wedding can proceed.
Well done, Team MHRW.
