I love all the reviews and takes doing rounds in the forum at the moment. Today's episode was essentially Rudra's. From the Dabang style entry , to the Rajni style fight sequence to the Quentin Tarantino-style gore and violence. But in the midst of all the macho-giri you see the very subtle but still present vulnerable and human side of Rudra. The way he swallows and fists his hands, eyes closed as he sees the corpses of the fallen soldiers. And the very subtle change in demeanor when he hears Beerpur. It was subtle but effective. Ashish Sharma- kya bolein aap ke baare main. Amazing actor. I don't know why he isn't more popular. May this show bring much deserved laurels for both him and Sanaya.
Sanaya was amazing too. The hesitant shy smile, the reluctance to leave her home, the gentleness of her nature when she gets mami the massage-cum-chopping contraption (this should go down in Ripley's believe it or not) . I loved the dialogue when she says "toh na udne do, dibbe main band kardo" . And the scene in the tempo when she flings off her chunri and savours the last few days of her carefree youth.
And the contrasts they drew every single time Rajmata mentioned the fictitious groom. Anyway, I'm sure such a guy doesn't exist.
