I ended up watching Episode 2: Honour Killing on Hotstar and thought of dissecting it a bit
.
Firstly, liked how the plot builds up.
Starting with Arjun being convinced to join ETF.
Sameer annoyed expression while introducing him as Second-in-command. Prima facie, the team calling the case dust-bin duty to work on documentation of an open-and-shut case.
Shree, Riya amd Chotu vomplaining of being caught between two lions.
Sameer interrogating a bigada hua bachcha and prime suspect.
Arjun's keen observation and Riya's attempted demo, Chotu wanting to throw Arjun off the terrace
, Arjun extracting truth from the eye witness.
A peek into stark contrasts with Miss hygiene-freak cleaning the rim of the coffe mug wigh a tissue and Arjun relishing a tapriwali cutting.
Arjun's zameen hilanewali discovery of the missing scarf and travel to Jaipur. The smirk when Sameer says, "Is shehar se jurm ki gandagi saaf karte karte shayad hum, hum nahin rahe, aur shayad tum bhi tum nahin rahoge, Shree".
(Dono bosses bachchon ke maze le rahe hain)
Kaniika's (victim) sister Bhoomika's smart move to reveal the culprits and the location where the other victim and Bhoomika's boyfriend, Joy.
The realisation by Arjun and Sameer about the culprits infront of a clueless team.
The fight on the Haweli's outhouse, Arjun's drag chase and finally Riya giving an earful to Kanika's mother for killing her daughter in the name of honour.
Arjun's narration: "Izzat se pyaar karne ke bajay agar log ek doosre se apne pyaar ki izzat kare toh baat bane".
What I did not understand was the discussion between Arjun and Sameer when
Sameer says "Yaha dimag sirf tumhare paas nahin hain. Meri team me har ek insaan sirf isiliye hain kyun ke woh best hain"
Arjun replies, "Matlab tum us ladke par case sirf isiliye chalaoge kyun ki main keh raha hn ki woh beqasoor hain?"
(Kehna kya chahte ho, bhai. Context hi samajh nahin aaya.)
Sameer replies "Itni ghatiya soch nahin hain meri"
But that look of disbelief and hurt by Sameer was calculated and apt.
Talking of technicalities, the background score throughout was pertinent to the location and situation. Fights as usual, well choreographed. Dialogues were just the right amount, although, the meatiest were with Arjun.
