I have spent all these years admiring Rajat for the all-rounder he is. He is not only good with his acting,but with his action,his dance,his singing too for that matter.
The latter two maybe shoved away,sighting that it is a historical and there isnt mus to do with them,but a historical without action is like plain chaaval,instead of a yummy biryani.
I have seen Rajat doing all sorts of stunts.Be it his mastery over the sword,horse-riding or archery.I have seen him jump from 20 feet and even slide like spiderman from that height.Fly like superman,or run with the speed of Batman's bike.
One of the main things which bother me in JA,is the fact that Rajat's action capabilities are NOT being utilised the way they should be. He doesnt use body doubles to do them,he does them himself.And trust me,the ease with which he does them is spectacular!
This is a video of his from DharamVeer.Watch frrom 3:00
Epic right?! See the swag with which he moves the sword!
EK's stunt team hasn't been good,plus the terrible camera work makes it even worse. Add to it the undertrained opponents Rajat is paired up with. His mehnat also goes to waste. All we get to see in JA is a bunch of undertrained people with rubber swords against the actiong king,Tokas! 😳 Yaar,atleast provide him with well trained stuntmen!
Watch the video below.This is an episode from Prithviraj Chauhan.Watch from 5:50
^This was a war between Bhimdev and Prithvi.Such a detailed direction in stunts! Ofcourse,Sagars are legends when it comes to historicals and Ek is rather VERY new. But still.
while ur at it,do pay attention to those beautiful clothes on Rajat by Nikhat Neerushah 😳 She designed for him in both shows. <I so love her desgins <3 Also,the music! Damn,i still get goosebumps!
BTW,bhimdev is our very own Adham Khan 😆 chetan hansraj
PRC ki aadhi cast JA mein hai ab 😆
Anyway,I so wish EK pays more attention towards this department.
Coz acting wise and even story wise(most of the time) the show is class! 😎
I love the show,I just miss Rajat and his action scenes! 😭
