Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.
C. Dickens
From the opening scenes there was an air of poignancy throughout the whole episode - the colourful bharat dancing and laughing and in the midst Avita very solemn and serious. They were looking at each other as if any moment the other would disappear. Only when Avdesh started dancing around Arpita, that she smiled and started dancing too. I found Avdesh dancing around her quite symbolic, because for him she is the sun that he revolves around – day and night.
Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

Arpita: She was reticent and very watchful, almost tense and not fully able to relax and enjoy her brother's wedding. Her fears had not completely left her. She had been expecting the police or something worse to happen from the moment she shot RV, not able to rest or sleep properly since that fateful day..... So when she heard the police sirens she automatically looked at Avdesh, fear for him clear on her face before getting closer and touching his sleeve - to hold on to him incase he was taken away from her.
What must have been going through her mind? That the police were coming to take her beloved husband away? That finally they will be paying for whatever sins they have committed?... Avdesh was not going to give in so easily even if Arpita did look like she was going to collapse. ......Neither of them could have foreseen what was to come...Payback was biting Arpita at the heels!
Tears are the silent language of grief.

Avdesh: The moment Avdesh realised who the police had come for was a look that will stay for a long time. At first he was uncomprehending, then horror sparked in his eyes and then he was absolutely devastated and frozen in place....He watched as his innocent wife was led away and the fire within him blazed uncontrollably!....Time and the world froze in the face of his scorching anger even as the bullet sped to release his wife......Once again it was Arpita who was the voice of reason. She was prepared to face whatever punishment coming her way, however, like always her foremost concern was for her husband. Her words "Please let me go... I don't want any problems for you..." was the crux of what Arpita was all about. Her response was a look of agony by Avdesh because he knows that sooner or later he will have to give into her pleas; for he could never refuse her, never deny what and who she is.
When finally he had no choice but to let her go, the tears shimmering in his eyes and the trembling of his mouth attested to the turbulent emotions bubbling away inside him. For the moment, he had to concede defeat to RV but it was just the beginning. Payback time is rapidly approaching....Bahubali will roar and the world will have to kneel and face his wrath!...Avdesh will be uncontrollable, his fury and fear swamping everything that Arpita had so far managed to instill in him.... Only love will guide him now.
The long look by Arpita and Avdesh as she was driven away was the look of two lovers wrenched out of bliss. There was the fear that they may never hold each other again, nor find solace and love in the others welcoming arms anymore....that they will forever be just outside that circle of love and warmth they both crave so much but have difficult staying within.
Oh, woman, woman! When to ill thy mind is bent, all Hell contains no fouler fiend.

Bhauji: The person mainly responsible for their current situation was gloating at her payback. For a remarkably intelligent woman, she seemed to be oblivious to the ball in motion she had set. In fact Bhauji was prematurely counting her victory as Arpita was taken away. She was very secure and smug thinking she finally has what she desires - Avdesh. I've said enough times that this woman does not know love and once again it is proven that she could not tell what love is even if it came and slapped her across the face. What she is all about is covetousness. And that will be her downfall. By having Arpita arrested she is dreaming of being Avdesh's consort. What will it take to wake her up? She is under a massive delusion which seems to be neverending as she uses her brain and countless opportunities to twist events to suit her. Well payback, for her, will be the mother of all dogs!
It is never too late to be what you might have been.

RV: Ranvijay the dedicated officer finally had someone best him. Avdesh Singh Thakur is a thorn in his side, pricking till he had bled almost dry. He is now determined to make this criminal, and his wife, pay for their temerity in shooting him and leaving him for dead. More than that, for also endangering his job - the one thing he is so proud of and which is now in danger of being stripped away from him, leaving him in dishonour, shame and a failure. All abhorrent to a man of his dedication and principles. So gulping back his bile he had entered into a bargain with the daughter of the devil to ensure that he gets his quarry, by foul or fair means he is not overly concerned with. For the moment the end justifies the means and he is very sure that only through Arpita will he get to Avdesh. For RV this is his deadly payback.
Commentary:
It was payback time for everyone, a circle that encompasses Arpita, Avdesh, RV and Bhauji. It will also be a circle that will go on for while, changing allegiances and tacks quite a few times until it comes back to its final alignment for once and all. That will determine the winners and the losers in this game.
At the moment, Avita are the innocent pawns in the deadly game by Bhauji and RV. Each respectively targeted by one of those two for their own purpose. However, as always Avita remain an unbreakable team. And for this very reason they will emerge victorious but not without some little pain and heartbreak along the way. They are headed for some truly testing time of their love and faith in one another. They will fight and hold onto each other, be the other's lifeline and saviour but slowly the corrosive hatred and lies that surround them will touch them, leaving behind some scars. But love will be the overall healer and the soother.
In the meantime, we will be seeing some explosive emotions from Avdesh. It is his turn to show Arpita, and the world, what she truly means to him. She had made him accept his feelings for her, to show and shower it on her regardless of the surrounding. Now it is time to take it up to the highest.
