Fantastic episode.
Super Sleek & Super Stylish.Team Arjun, take a bow.👏⭐️
The episode was reminiscent of the old glory Arjun & Team ETF were renowned for.Which had been sorely missing these past so many weeks. That the whole team was there was the cherry on the cake.The technical aspects of the episode were cutting edge with some really cool multiple camera angles, super fast screen play and airtight editing.I must say a word about the lighting provided for the actors to shine. Especially the killer's den and in the SUV when Arjun was being willingly kidnapped.
Another psycho killing, another missing suspense element still none of this made a dent in the fabric of this "Made with care" story. Brilliantly written, directed & enacted episode.
The most notable were how the reactions of the players for every keynote action was so natural & relatable to ordinary daily life.
The systematic collection of updates & reports by Arjun from his team members making sure every aspect of the evidence collection and witness interrogation is covered.
Like the astute police officers Chotu & Aisha immediately zeroing in on the loiterer in the ETF complex and thoroughly checking him out. A man with a camera in an police headquarters raised the hackles as it should. Usually high ranking police officers would never bother.
Then of course the scene of the day.Someone close to Arjun , a child no less, lay butchered on the road. Though the ground beneath his feet gave way still he kept tight rein on his emotions and steered clear of any public display of grieving. He ordered his team to process the body as he would for any other crime scene. I thought his professional demeanour would continue even in the autopsy room where he usually analyses Lisa's findings & it did prick me somewhere. It was so heart warming to see Arjun finally breaking down in the privacy of the cold room and gathering his adopted boy in his arm & kissing his forehead. Unable to cope any more he turns on his heels & leaves and Aisha swiftly takes over the information gathering.Brilliant! Speech less at such attention to detail. Hardly a mark of someone who ignores their show or are arrogant enough to believe such care is not required. They love their baby more than we all like to believe.
I am so proud to be fan of this humongous tower of talent.Shaleen Malhotra is a class apart. Right from handling those stinky sea beings to his warm banter with Raju he nailed it beyond perfection.But he surpassed himself in the Raju's death scene. He wanted to scream at the unfairness of it all. Yet had to keep his cool because more lives might have been at stake & those dead needed to see justice done. One of the few artists to act with their eyes.His eyes spoke volumes today.
Arjun hanging from the rope had to be the most horrific visual for tonight. But some super cool acting chops there. I loved his dialogue delivery there.Brilliantly done! May you rise & rise,Swetheart!👍🏼
Then of course he looked so hot & heavenly in that onion coloured shirt.❤️ I had a smile on my face as he was struggling with the psycho in that SUV.😆 Koi struggle kartey hue itna cute kaise lad sakta hai yaar!😳
Of course the dialogue of the day had to be:"Aise prem patra mujhe roz miltey hai!"😆😆😆
Ayyam Mehta was superb.The cold flat eyes, the even colder flatter voice.Perfect choice for this character . Superb!👏
It was a joy to see Lady Dabbang back on her feet.Will sorely miss her. But I hope she finds success in all her future endeavours.
As always Chotu & Lisa played their part well. Best of luck to them too.
On the down side the most glaring was Arjun not using the mobile tracking technology to locate Raju's location.It was clear he was in the wrong hands. Arjun going to look for him in his known hangouts didn't sit well. Then Arjun not allowing Aisha to thoroughly check a man lurking in an armed government installation was jarring. The man had no business being there. He ought to have been patted down.
I also wish that poor kid's death could have been avoided. It does something to the hope & belief in the system Arjun tries to instill.Well!
Very well made episode.Well done!👏
