Episode # 3: Parshuram's swag vs. Shiv's crassness
Today was a contrast episode imo. Starts of with Parshuram on the mission to arrest some goons. He has the swag of a hero who is a natural at his job and has a great rapport with his colleagues. He drops his 'trets yug' ki chatri, unbuttons his collar and rolls up his sleeves in seconds the moment he decides to switch to Parshuram from the householder Shiv.
I relate with Shalini's nervousness today for being restless about Shiv's appearance at the party. Even normal people and commoners dress well when they are invited for a party or function. It is a normal expectation but how Shiv showed up at the party was definitely OTT. Him getting excessively drunk, dancing like a freak in front of the guests and falling on the floor is definitely OTT for me. We were also not given a reason for why he had to get so drunk. Should we assume he is scared to face Shalini in a sweaty avatar? And imo, neither Shalini, her parents or even her cousins who were teasing her were wrong in judging Shiv because he is exactly doing what they had anticipated.
But this Shiv is a facade which Parshuram is keeping up and is intentionally giving everyone this cheap, crass impression of himself. So, as audience, we know his truth.. it's just the difference between the portrayals of Shiv and Parshuram which is causing a contrast. Both personalities are worlds apart and need adjusting to.
