"Abandoned.
The word alone sends shudders down a sensitive spine, troubling the thoughts of pained souls as their hurt swells in ripples. It is a sentence of undesired solitude often pronounced on the innocent, the trusting"administered without warning or satisfactory cause.
One day the moon is yours, or so you believe. The next, his countenance transforms from Jekyll to Hyde with no intention of ever turning back, and you are left trampled upon in a deserted street, concealed by dirty fog that squelches all illumination or any hope for future rays of light.
It is the worst of mysteries why a beast considered noble would forsake his duty, exhibiting a heart of stone. And all who once looked on him, now turn down their eyes and suffer, beguiled.
Some poisons have no antidote, but are slow, silent, torturous ends that curl up the broken body swept into a cold, dark corner. There she is left to drown in her tears"a dying heart.
Abandoned."

What's more painful than being abandoned? Its not being worth an explanation! You can go down fighting with the world but you fight your kin, not when they refuse your existence. Paro is in the very crisis. She is begging for her own identity but is being slapped with something she isn't prepared for. The refusal at the hands of every single person she has known, is too much to bear and that is slowly killing her. On the other hand there is Rudra who is shocked at the turn of events. He hates the fact that his beautiful prisoner is being thrashed so. He hates that she is undergoing so much of pain, he hates it all but since things are not in his hand he feels helpless and this helplessness and defeat is acceptable! Thus his black fury rises again and unfortunately the one caught in the chasm of it is Paro!
In mythology the tale speaks of Sati-the first incarnation of Adi-Shakti who was born to Daksha. She against the wishes of her father had married Shiva. When a huge yajna was organized in Daksha's court, Sati went there uninvited and Daksha refused to acknowledge her. Shiva rose the occasion but alas couldn't save her from a heart break or her imminent death of her human form! If you go by the entire scene Rudra somewhere tries to help Paro, he tries reducing her pain. For whatever twisted reason he did for once care about Paro. He felt disgusted when she was being scorned but just like Lord Shiva he couldn't save Paro from her imminent destruction!
Next was Tejawat, just like Daksha who feigned ignorance, Tejawat too, refused to accept Paro. It was really gut wrenching if nothing else. Think of a plight of a young woman who is widowed hours ago and is being denied her own existence. Identity crisis leads severe traumas and in case of Paro it'll be a trauma mated with heart break. Now whether Rudra will help her overcome it or will push her deeper in the pit remains a mystery!!
I don't blame the villagers as for them Tejawat is no less than God. His words ring command and those innocent people will happily bleed to make his words true!! I don't blame them and their fickleness to stand by the truth. Rudra tries pushing some senses in their heads only to discover that he is banging his own against a rock! The episode was brilliant not because of the evident facts but because of the underplayed emotions of every character that was being dealt with. First it was maamisa, she felt her heart tear into two but couldn't help it as the person who is her God demands her to sacrifice her soul and that comes as a parallel to Prasuti( Sati's mother). she is torn but she'll side with her master! Next is of course Tejawat who comes across as a modern rendition of Daksha, all powerful and all egoistical, whimsical master. Paro is your Sati who at this moment is being humiliated and abandoned and Rudra is of course a parallel to Shiva who is burning but alas has no control what so ever.
Sanaya and Aashish have breathed life into their characters. I now cannot think of any other person as a substitute to these particular bunch of actors. Tarun is just so good as Tejawat that I'd probably end up writing sonnets for him one day!! The guy who plays Aman is after my heart. He is just fantastic in whatever little that he does and writers and director and assistant director and DOP and costume designer and the technicians, I applaud all of you!! Flowers and candles and streamers for you guys!!
P.S. The one scene that lingers in my mind over and over is the interrogation room scene. Just when I had begun to think that Rudra has begun to mellow down and had begun showing his soft side, his insecurity and distrust regarding woman surfaced up! This just proves that Paro has to kill herself so that Rudra survives!!
