I've just read the replies on the first two pages and it seems as though I'm in the minority. I haven't liked a single performance from Ankita so far and today was no exception. Her wide eyed expression was OTT and there wasn't a great deal of difference in her expression between today's anger and earlier scenes where she's been irritated. If the scene worked at all it was because of good direction with pulling out the knife, powerful dialogues and the right expressions from Ashish. I felt nothing for Laila, Ankita just didn't make me feel even a tiny bit sorry for this girl who's facing her worst nightmare as far as Rudra is concerned. True, I don't sympathize with the character but today I should have felt something for her even if she brought this on herself but instead I found her irritating and would have been happy for Rudra to use the knife on her.
This scene could have been and should have been so much more but for me is totally forgettable. Unforgettable in my view as far as RR is concerned would be most of the scenes that happened in the interrogation room whether they were Paro scenes, Rudra scenes, Parud scenes or the scenes with the supporting cast. Paro's breakdown on the first night, the gun pulling scene and then of course the mirror scene will be among those I remember long after the show is over.
Even as a dancer Ankita has failed to impress especially considering she's a trained dancer. With the first dance I gave her the benefit of the doubt that the choreography was bad but today it's apparent that she doesn't have a dancers grace and that makes her performance at best average or below considering she's trained.
