A RRitual Too Far - Page 8

Such well written fab analysis Sabs!!! Love ya!! 🤗

Agree with you mostly but I think a bit differently on this. The episode had some blatant display of sensuality to say the least. But if you look at Rudra, he is an extremist most of the time; be it his patriotism, his intense feelings regarding women and particularly beautiful ones, his increasing awareness of Paro in a different light that is baffling even him, sometimes clouding his judgement, his care for Paro over little things like a nick on her forehead with just a drop of blood oozing out (it wasn't like she had a trickle of blood coming out!), are all pointing to this. Now in Paro he is going to meet his match! Steel for steel!! But burning the hand on the griddle was too much for me! If Paro wanted to protest she could have found many other ways. Hurting oneself is not going to win her any points against the likes of Rudra!

But the point I want to make is that I did not find anything out of character with Rudra. He reacts exactly as he should and moreover when it comes to winning and that too for the cause close to his heart, that is, not to waste his soldiers' sacrifice when he believes Tejawat is the terrorist and he was not wrong in carrying out the mission where under unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances Paro was caught live and had to suffer.

I had been wondering why Paro isn't able to think for once from Rudra's point of view? I understand the trauma she has been going through but given her nature she seems to have happily settled in Rudra's home and have started mingling with his family, taking on their problems, trying to help them when she probably shouldn't be doing so if she is still grieving (supposedly?)!! Why does she have to pounce on Rudra at the slightest opportunity?! Women power! We all know it! Paro has shown that!! But does it mean to protest something you hurt yourself? I found Rudra's action of putting mehendi natural enough, leave aside the power play between the two. He has a valid reason to stoop low as he says. It isn't just the physical superiority that Rudra is establishing here. Paro is forcing him to such lowly acts as seen by us.

Anyway, we as viewers also know the reason for why Rudra is acting the way he is but the blatant show on display yesterday was was too suggestive! Though if you don't attach any sexual connotation to this scene, it would still mean Rudra was manhandling her to put the mehendi on her palms which turned ugly because of Paro's stubbornness. Well all Paro needs is a demo in terms of a fatal attack on her to prove Rudra's point. She came close to seeing Bhima the other day but heck it is a TV serial and secrets aren't revealed so fast even though they are staring at you right in the face!!!

Thank you, Nancy, for your comment. 😊 Last night was a tumultuous episode to comment on. I do hope it won't affect your enjoyment of the Forum.

First of all let me reiterate that I did not call Rudra a rapist. I commented on the lines he said followed up by the act of invading her hand. It was definitely power play and a public humiliation on a victim who was in no position to prevent it from happening.

And yes you are right that he gave her fair and full warning of his intentions of stooping low to break her. But the question then is does the end justify the means? In this instance, I would say, not at all. There have to be limits to anything (for instance, as an extreme example, would anybody condone rape to breaking her?). Well, for me the limits were exceeded last night. And it was a distressing watch for me.

And knowing that Rudra does care for Paro, I wish the CVs had tempered his ruthlessness with some of that care in that last scene, rather than only triumph/gloating. I would have found it all so much more palatable.

I have been reading some interesting replies here but would like to put in two cents of mine!

Even though the word Rapist appears here in the TM's post, I think what she means is not the literal meaning of the word but Rudra being as ugly and threatening as a rapist to invoke fear in Paro which he succeeded to some extent. With a rapist like threat he also had an underlying concern for Paro that if she wiggles her hands too much she may hurt herself more.

Loved your post. I think the way you wrote brought more shivers than actually watching the episode.
If I liked Rudra in Sindoor, to day he was totally repulsive.

Apart from all that you have written I am having doubts how the love will develop bet these two after the power play today.

Edited..

very well written analysis

Episode was power packed ,well performed by all especially Sanaya

I didn't find the last scene disturbing as Rudro putting Mehndi on Paro hand was to show his dominance on one end but at the other end it was also to relief her from the pain as Henna has healing abilities

The scene where he invades her in kitchen which leads to her burning her hands more disturbing
