Greetings! đ¤
I have been a silent reader on this forum, but yesterday's episode prompted me to make this post.
I know there is a huge difference between Sherlock Holmes and Arjun, but I can't help drawing some similarities. I pretty sure that even if you guys are not huge fans of holmes, you still might have enough idea about it.
Arjun is intellectually gifted like Holmes. He , like Holmes, is the only one who can see through everyone and everything, and draw conclusons which astounds people. If you read Holmes you will know. (warning: This post is really longđ )
Secondly, Holmes effortlessly catches criminals because they are nowhere near his intellectual plane from which he works. Here and there, there are a few challenges, but his sole noteworthy opponent is Moriarty, who, if you remember, was like a shadow and had such a labryinth of higher connections around him that no one could even scratch the surface of his real power. To the world he was a very respected scientist. Only Holmes knew how he operated and managed to defeat him finally.
Similar is the case of Sikander. He is a shadow that no one can catch hold of. Just a name in the criminal world. Moriarty lived under the facade of a scholar ; Sikander is faceless. I hope you get the idea.
Thirdly, only if you have seen BBC's Sherlock, you will know that in last episode of season 1, there was finally a confrontation between sherlock and moriarty. The shot where the laser pointer of the gun was aimed at arjun's forehead, I was reminded of this scene. Yeah there is no watson in arjun, but I found this similarity. Check this link of that scene from sherlock:

(spoiler alert if you haven't watched the series)
Actually there is a more apt shot in that scene itself but i couldn't find the video
And yes, that episode of sherlock also ends like that, with Sherlock unable to catch Moriarty. he walks away after a call and decides not to kill Sherlock on that day.
And also the part where Arjun is informed of that someone will kill him and he reaches just in time to diffuse the bomb, similar thing happens in the Great game episode I mentioned. There, since both SH and moriarty love "puzzles", he ties bombs to people and sets a timer for the blast . Sherlock is supposed to figure out the puzzles to save those people. Watch it and you will know.
Phew!! Sorry for such a long post đĽą, but I couldn't help myself. đ
