Pallavi jhaadoing Ved was a great scene. It was hilarious, for one, which I'm so, so glad for. I know this track is going to be an intense one, but I'm 100% all in after today, they've given me the assurance that they do know how to break up the intense episodes with occasional laughs without doing a disservice to the seriousness of the story.
I may be reading too much into the Pallavi/Ved conversation, so feel free to call me out on it, but I found it fascinating that this is the first time since his return that Ved seemed caught off guard. He was bewildered. He's been successfully playing mind games with Raghav for a while, and is now trying those tactics on Pallavi- first through Sunny, who failed, and then he himself, and he failed too.
It tells us that as well as he does know Raghav, he doesn't know Pallavi at all. He's banking on her to respond in a certain way, and she's not sticking to the script, making her a bit of a wild card in his plans. Is he going to change tactics? Will he figure her out as well as he has Raghav? Add to that, Raghav seems to have a much better hold of himself after the conversation with lungi wala Raghav- it may or may not be the right call, he may or may not stick to it, but having made that call alone has grounded him significantly, and he's determined to deal with Ved, with a slightly clearer head for the moment (let's see how long it lasts, though...lots of storms on the horizon).
The show's never done comedy moments just for the sake of it- even the jhaadu one had poignancy tied to it, so I won't be surprised if today's phone call also is an indicator for what's to come.
Totally agree.. pallavi is really out of syllbus for him.. during the ved 1.0 track, pallavi was gullible.. she easily accepted him masquerading as krishna’s bro.. she didnt even bother to check with krishna.. so he was going with that impression of hers..
