Hi guys, a lot has been said about the Friday episode and why the romance was too sudden and did not fit...may be enough discussion has happened on it already and we don't need another topic...but I do want to say something...
I think, when a man finds a woman attractive ...it is not something that takes a lot of time...It is something that happens quickly...infact if does not happen quickly enough...I becomes a logical decision not a reaction from the innate reaction of a man reacting to a woman ...Thats why I do not think it is too soon for Rudra to feel all sheepish about the simple act of dong some thing to make his witness comfortable that he knows he has put in a very difficult situation and for who he feels the responsibility to protect...
The same protectiveness and care was visible...when the first time Paro fell unconscious in his arms the very first time he protected her from rapists, the second time when she had a nightmare in the hospital and the third time when she cut her palm trying to escape...and not to forget...when he helped her climb down from the top of the cupboard so that she does not fall...so Fridays episode was nothing unusual in that way...and it fit the pattern very well...what is happening that in every interaction...he is getting more aware of her as a woman...and is feeling this attraction that a man feels for a woman...which leads to romance...
A certain other serial I watched for a little bit...had the male lead feel nothing in terms f attraction for the female lead who was living in the same room...and at times came very close to him...I found that so odd...that eventually I stopped watching the serial...To me, that just seems like a relationship without a spark...
The spark has to be spontaneous,...even though the reaction to the spark may be controlled...So, I am glad the makers are showing that spark...Now what was different in Fridays episode was a stretched moment when Rudra felt hesitant to even do what he was doing and of course there was the wind blowing and the Shayari and all...I think all that was to show Rudra's state of mind...which had all these uncomfortable thoughts rising...given the situation he was in...
Contrary to what many have expressed...apart from his prejudices against women s general...Rudra has nothing specific to hate Paro for...So these feelings are as natural as they can be...
I think the resistance should and would come more from Paros side...given her MU about him...and her misperception of anyone associated with BSD,...
I think Rudra's character and actions are well depicted in the serial so far...
Please share any thoughts, if you wish ( would love to hear if you agree or disagree)..or ignore the topic if we have been through it enough already...😃
All the points that you make are from the audience point of view surely! The male and female leads have to be attracted to each other because well they are the male and female lead! But what's the story that will make the serial last for years then!
The equation between two people does matter when it comes to them feeling anything for each other! The other show you mention..it's a bold step to not show attraction as that's too obvious a way of getting them together without resolving any issues between them!
Rudra does not have anything to hate Paro for?? huh?? Does he not think she is involved in thakur's smuggling rig? Till Friday he was indifferent to her presence in his room?no attraction was shown obviously after he killed her husband and brought her to the haveli.Whatever he felt earlier before her wedding was before he suspected her!
Even when they had that eye lock of sorts he was totally indifferent..no softening of eyes etc...
Helping he get off the cupboard was done with so much irritation..putting on the helmet and asking her to hold on on the bike..all this was for her physical well being.
If he had treated her leg in a similar way in a gruff manner it would have been more apt! But they bowed to TRP and audience demands definitely!
IN fact if Rudra had come to know that paro helped Dilsher and that's how she was discovered that would explain him helping her out this way a lot more than the current scenario.
I am sorry but though the scene was very well done it was out of place..he thinks she is wrong..now he is going to get into more trouble because of her silence..not a shred of contrary thought or doubt has arisen in his mind that she may be innocent!
It's the same thing as in most shows...the hero who thinks women are manipulative and doesn't want anything to do with them still falls for the heroine and thinks she is different without any rhyme or reason whatever may be the situation they meet in!
They just have not built the story to a level where a guy like Rudra would have romantic thoughts about a suspect in his custody! I say suspect because even though he says witness now why that changed is also not clear..they have just moved the story one burst ahead without showing any doubt..any questioning of Rudra...
It would have been better if Rudra were to investigate and find out paro was innocent and till then he actually maintained his indifference to her..even if he is physically attracted to her he should be shown as fighting that!!why show him hesitating to touch her suddenly...she has been asleep for a lot of the time they have been together...if he is letting down his guard because she is asleep then by now he should have declared her innocent!
The romance and tenderness and gentlemanly behaviour was totally abrupt..given she slept on the floor a day earlier!Ok..she is injured so he picks her up..and places her on the bed..maybe even tends to h foot so that does not become an issue..but not in the way that indicates he feels something special for her!
