31/01/10 Episode (5th) DISCUSSION

Aw, I thought I would be the first one to open such a discussion. Anyways, I liked the whole episode, as always👏. They showed very little of Brinda and Usman Sir today😭. I liked how Brinda refuted the British people's claims and the press conference. It was very good and enlightening. The scene in the press conference is actually based on real life with NCB head talking about the drugs prevention in India and what not. The scene where Pinto escapes is kinda confusing. Wasn't the court guarded? Couldn't the havaladars or the police shot Pinto on the leg?🤔 Anyways, Kartik and Usman sir figured everything out.

Ah, the fight scene was simply brilliant. Very exhilirating and adrenline-rushing. Just look at the punches and kicks and everything. Brilliantly done👏👍🏼The scene where the guy gets slapped by his gf was good too. He deserved it.

The episode ended with a bang. The way Brinda followed Raja was perfect but was also very fortunate, as she just happened to see him as he was leaving. But why did she lie to her boss? And didn't Raja have to go to Chumba(didn't catch the name) before going to Delhi.😕

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback on episode 5. Here are some of the points that Powder viewers had doubts about.

1. How did Ansari go to Dubai?

Well, he hasn't shifted to Dubai. He's gone there to convince the bigger smugglers in Dubai that they should allow him to move his base there.

2. How did Ansari managed to go to Dubai?

Well if you see the long promo carefully (now available on youtube) you will notice that there is a shot of a man holding several passports. All the passports are in different names but have Ansari's photo. So he has several fake passports and he does sneak out for a business tour. As for a permanent settlement in the safe haven of Dubai where Indian authorities won't be able to touch him, he needs to convince bigger smugglers there.

You will find such parallels with many Indian gangsters. I will write more on these real incidents later.


3. Why did Brinda lie to Usmaan sir?

Just wait for episode 7 and you'll know why :)

4. How did Jagdale (yes that's his name :) )reach Queens Bar?

Jagdale, if you noticed, is at the same hearing in the court where Usmaan and Custom Officers are. So while Kartik and Usmaan cracked how Queens is related to Ansari, similalrly Jagdale must have analyzed the same facts. Although we never see it as a scene.

And how does Jagdale manages to keep toe to toe with NCB you will soon find out. Actually how was he the first one to arrest Wasim? If you think of it. So that also you all will find out soon :)

And yes, before I sign off, your wait for your favorite Mahida will leave more than satisfied :) That's a promise.

Thank you all once again.

Hope to see you soon. As we are still shooting some of the later episodes of Powder, I get very few chances to be online. But I'll be around.
