Full of undercurrents, so many characters in full flow!
I had thought earlier that the IG Mathur was quite dull – I take it back! grovel, apologise for misjudging – he was fabulous!👍🏼 Authoritative, dominating, domineering – completely believable as the new IG of Allahabad.
Anupam Shyam playing a venial, a#$# licker to the hilt – pseudo humble, trying to ingratiate himself into the good books of a man in power, full of fulsome compliments, oozing slime – he is a tremendous actor. 👏
Pratigya, in her glittery saree looking more Thakurish than even the Thakurain, was given one rather contemptuous look by the IG😕. He dismissed them all with a sneer and that was even before he knew who they were! Oddly, Pratigya looked so much like a Thakur bahu and Komal is beginning to look distictly Saxena-ish!
The contrasts between the families – the utter middleclass respectability of the Saxenas, the crude, showy entry of the Thakurs, the hard 'fragmented yet united' front of the Mathurs.
It was wonderful, CVs – wonderful strokes of characterisation! I enjoyed it tremendously. You still got the mojo! 👍🏼🥳
