First of all, loved the opening episode. Awesome work RR team!
Rudra is actually the first dark character that makes complete sense. The trend of angry young man is quite common but I have not seen any character as justified as that of Rudra. The reasoning is always one isolated bitter past experience and the person turns bitter for the rest of his life until he meets the girl who transforms him. While it looks good onscreen, it is very illogical to me. Rudra, however, had one bitter experience and an extended bitter childhood to add to it. His mother abandons him and his father maintains a very mechanical relationship with his son. He faces isolation in school and probably in his community too. To seal it, he is trained as an army officer in a very harsh environment - I have heard real stories of the rigorous training, which kills the emotional side of a person,that happens in army camps. Paro, on the other hand, had an extremely bitter experience as a child too. Nevertheless, she had a loving family to nurture her through her difficult times. Hence, Paro has grown up as a normal person despite that one bitter life experience. Like they say, time and a positive atmosphere heals every wound. Rudra had neither of these and hence he turned into something like a dark ocean. Although I usually find the snobbish and larger than life attitude of angry young man characters very annoying, I can sympathize with Rudra already. And this is what you call a well-developed character!
Would appreciate your views too.
