Notwithstanding the collective groans, the deep sighs, the "Not Again"s and "We are Bored"s at the mention of another Psycho Killer story today's episode was a brilliantly written and directed presentation.š The story telling was top notch as was the suspense quotient.I never suspected the mother right up to the end.Fabulous!šš¼ Team Arjun as always never fails to stun and dazzle its audiences.
Just how a daughter would lead a happy married life sustaining on the blood of eight young innocent women was something Sarla should have pondered over.But I have a word for those who reject such potential brides based on something like their stars and planets not being in the right place at the time of birth.Its ridiculous, causes immense pain, forces young women to lead lonely loveless lives and pushes their parents to do something heinous like what Sarla did.
Arjun played a proper chief and delegated most jobs to his associates.Everyone had a equal and important part in the investigation.I wish it was taken care of right from the beginning.The team too chipped in superbly.It was a treat to watch Arjun this way.āļø
Shaleen's expressions in his first scene was really beyond words.He was way ahead like he always is but it was so subtly yet powerfully portrayed.Then that scene in Shastriji's house.I was floored when he wiggled that fat book under Shastri's nose asking,"Tantra Mantra ka bhi shauk rakhte hai?" The clinical precision with which he asked why did he not inform the police when five girls he had met turned up dead was seen to be believed.Some real fire power acting chops there.Then the icing on the cake of course.The final confrontation with the Tantrik.Seeti Maar & Todu Fodu Scene!Seems the performances of this brilliant artist has only one direction. Upwards!ššš
The yellow shirt was also backkk!š
But a few things jarred:
Why did Arjun dismiss the other Shastri's help? Did he not enlist a similar expert in the previous Tantrik Case so as to understand the mindset of a person who believes in such practices? Aisah had to convince him for it.Though loved to see Lady Dabangg point her senior in the right direction.
How did he let a forensic expert who isnt a trained police personnel into a ruthless killer's den all by herself? There is a mass murderer lose and ETF could not spare back up for someone who is putting her life at risk when it isnt her job to do that?And the worse was ETF could not spare a transport for the operation?Lisa had to flag down a public transport and that could have led straight to death.I know Lisa had to be kidnapped to move the story forward but surely such a brilliant team could have come up with something convincing.
Then a smart girl like Lisa taking a lift from a family member of the killer she is trying to trap.Hard to dig that too.
Arjun's unnecessary lecture at the end of the episode.None of the ETF Team believes in the occult.Who was he preaching to? His rage and agitation could have been showed in manner which might happen in real police station's coffee room.Like an after work banter.
Though my knees go weak every time they show the "Arjun Walk" I was feeling a bit awkward watching it today.š
Aisha as second lead investigator was brilliant in her part.Chotu is really doing some good work in the show after a long time.
The star of today's episode was no doubt Lisa aka Ritu.What a gifted actor.Hope she has a stellar career in the industry.Hats off!šš¼
I loved today's episde.Thank you Team Arjun!Well done!āļø
