completely agree with you on Brinda's screen spaceGet ready guys (to read or to flee 😆)! Here comes my giant essay on this week's epi..
.
.
.
Brinda's screen space: after going thru kalindi's update, i can say brinda's screen space has not reduced much. but there's definitely something i'm missing in her portrayal these days. she speaks quite little, appears to be weaker than before, which could be because she's going thru an emotional period after anuj's betrayal and letting an important clue go to rival's hands..! anyway, it was odd to see her feeling so helpless though that's quite possible! all in all i miss her stronger aspects.
Mahendra's escapade: very well executed scene.. 👍🏼 for the first time after that usman-karthik mob scene, i had a high rush of adrenalin. when mahendra appeard with a cart on main gate and was telling that plausible story i could hear my heart thumping (that's also because it was quiet all around so late in the night! 😆). it was impossible to sit still till the time he fell of the cliff, when brinda with police reached him. i would give this scene very high points solely for the thrill factor.
Usman with girls and on phone: usman and brinda have been my two favorite characters in the show. and m quite happy with the former. really loved the scene where he was surrounded by girls unable to retort back to their teasing. 😆 manish' expressions were awesome in this scene, showing clearly that he can handle a variety of scenes with ease. later, loved his protectiveness towards his officers and the length he went to for them. 👏
Raghav's onslaught: it comes on an opportune time as suggested by selva. i expected raghav to think over a bit before going on with it. but it seems he trusts selva's judgment pretty much. or it was because as usman said later, he works with heart and not mind. whatever, a crucial attack it may be and m waiting to see its impact beyond an infuriated ansari in his room. interestingly, it has also opened door for ANC, NCB and DRI to follow ansari more closely.
Selva: it's clear selva's loyalty lies with who! before there wasn't a scene of him where he wasn't ruing raghav's absence. and now when raghav's back, he forgot all his promises to poor jagdale! though m loving his commitment and faith in raghav. no wonder if he doesn't like julie. 😆 the actor has managed well to highlight the traits of selva in a subtle tone. it looks like he's living this character and not just playing a role.
btw, that wishful look on julie's face when she talked abt mahendra..! i was surprised!! so there is something between them!?
Ashwin: bravo to ashwin. he seems to be the first character i'm hating in Powder! 😒 and that's when he's been here for barely one epi and half! this guy looks sly. someone who loves to take whole credit for a success and put whole blame of failure on others. ....that's my conclusion after listening to his talks so far. enough to make me dislike him!
Ansari in the end: so frustrated, exasperated and angry and so well played by pankaj. he really looked enraged screaming and recalling everything musa said to him. so that's how this usually reticent guy takes his frustration out! i guess he'll come with some plan B soon.
Binata: as the computer teacher, hopefully she's got the creative and meaningful work she needed to keep her busy and away from drugs.
Precap: interesting wrt waseem's decision 😲 and consequences of chamba adventure in NCB office. 😛

Agree with what deboo said earlier, mahi was explaining what is to be done rather too much. brinda has been a government official (in NCB and before), she would definitely know what to do and how! however, i suspected this explanation was meant for the viewers and not brinda. 😆
