Itna drama kaye ko?

So I let yesterday's episode settle for a while before I decided to make this post.

I liked a lot of things about yesterday's episode. And we will come to that later.

But the one thing I didn't like was OTT dramatic effect of everything. And let me tell you I'm someone who normally enjoys such movies where everything is larger than life. But yesterdays's dramatic patriotism didn't strike a chord with me. Maybe because I'm quite the anti nationalist. I felt the effect of yesterday's episode was lost on me. Slow motions are a good editing technique to show emphasis but it cannot be a repeating pattern. I hope this will reduce in the coming days.

What worked for me was AsHISH. He played his part more than convincingly. Very few actors on TV can play larger than life roles with so much gusto. I think after years there's finally a TV actor whom I think is cut out for bigger things in life. His experience in theatre shows through. He plays the larger than life aspect of his role with same lan as he does when he portrays the vulnerabilities, pain and intensity of Rudra. Take a bow Ashish!

The episode was shot at a grandeur scale, the DOP and action director has done a very good job. But I'd have been even more impressed if they had cut out so many jarring bloopers.

And finally the precap. Now the scene has been set, the conflict masterminded. I think starting tomorrow we will find out what RR is really about. And the beautiful imagery of the precap just does that.

Divided by hate,
United by grief,
Will the two lovers
Ever meet?


Episode verdict- disappointing!


P.S- a big chumma to Ashish for enjoying SJ's Phatphatiya post as much as I do and for saying it.

I can do that Basanti bhaisa!! Trust me!! 😆😆😆 Fikar mat!!😉

I loved the song...m a patriot so the episode was just perfect for me...but ya the OTT was nagging me...i liked the fact that d bloodshed was reduced...and they focused on hand to hand...varunsa's death was icing on d cake😆

Hope rakth and reth are over and daastaan is starting!

oh k:)

I found the episode quite OTT and jingoistic as well NB and I am quiet the nationalist.😊 But I have kinda made my peace with the episode ...it has appealed to a lot of ppl as I saw on the forum.

Really ashish is an actor of great calibre.

I completely agree with you NB...this was probably my least favorite episode thus far...too much repetitive stuff that I was tempted to fast forward. The scenes were written in a over-the-top way and it would have been too much if Ashish overdid it but his acting was just perfect, he made those scenes work.

You said it NB. Ashish did his best with what he was given to do, but come on, you can only do so much with over the top, melodramatic script.

The makers got it wrong last night, I was either laughing at the absurdity of the action sequences, or looking the other way 'cause the gore was a bit too much to handle. The only scene I liked was when Varun showed his true colours, great acting by both the actors.

Edit: Ashish said he liked SJ's posts? I like him more now. We can totally use him as nimboo mirch in future if we ever get attacked by over sensitive phankis..😆

I agree with you, NB ... said as much myself. The meat of the episode was in the last five minutes, with the exposure of Varun-sa's true colors, and the birth of the grand MU ... ALL love- hate love stories start with an MU 😆 Ashish did well though ... all credit to him.
