Having read the comments from the Arjun Rescue Squad forum members about how poor AK has changed from the confident, self-assured, arrogant to the point of cocky Arjun Kirloskar to the "sirring", almost timid, confused (at the police station) Arjun in recent episodes, I am compelled to take up the cudgels against the very squad (PAP, is that what Shyamala called it?) that is Pro-Arjun.
Arjun has nicely matured, today's scene was in marked contrast to his stuttering, stuck on the same note "listen to me" business when Purvi and him were at loggerheads over his engagement with Ovi. All he could do then was drag Purvi into dark corners and overpower her with inane repetitions of the same silly refrain. Now, we have an Arjun who is confident in his prowess to win his dainty damsel, emphatic in his belief that he will like Sir Galahad sweep her away from her mother's house, and persistent in his assurances that they will have a life together be it eating pav together at midnight stalls or working together at the office. I am reveling in this new avatar of the spoiled rotten heir to the Kirloskar empire. Yes, the champions of Arjun will tell me, he was always honorable, always kind, etc. etc. Not refuting that at all, nor am I begrudging his "good intentions". I am merely relishing the fact that his rough edges have been nicely hewn; he is a delight to watch as a young man with no hang-ups about wealth or position. It is a very nice character accessory to his always self-possessed demeanor, which has now become tinged with an unshakeable belief in his own self-worth and capabilities. He can weather any storm for Purvi, he can travel to the ends of the earth, he can slay dragons, conquer all odds, he is that confident of his love, no more waiting for the right time, the right people. The world be damned, he is a young man in love and he means to succeed in his quest to carry off his lady love, no bets about it.
Arjun aka Arjun Kirloskar, you truly have become a young man deserving of Purvi's hand. Kudos to you.
