Over The Top Much? - Page 8

I don't know enough about filming to know who's going wrong here with the OTT breakdowns. I'm assuming it's a directors job to guide the actor to give the best performance and at the end of the day it's the director's vision of the screenplay that he's given that the actors bring to life. Ashish is a good actor and he's one of the few who can convey a hundred meanings just with his eyes or a slight movement of his lips or a flicker of emotion on his face, so there's no need for such theatrics every time.

What was the difference between the breakdown he had when Paro sang a song his mom used to sing and today when he was on the verge of opening up to Paro...there should have been some difference and I think that was the directors job to show that. Personally I think Rudra has too many breakdowns and I preferred the man who poured whisky over his bullet wounds but if that's how the cv's envision him then fine but don't turn him into a wuss.

@red...I know right, where is that Rudra? Yesterday he was vocal about his hand hurting, it was emotional and all but...seriously that did not match up with the earlier characterization? that's a big glaring incosistency right there! But the CVs will do what they intend to do...

I don't think he was talking abt his hand hurting...that was his helplessness in not being able to use his hand. There is a lot of difference between the two situations.

Exactly, I was just going to say this but you beat me to it 👏 When he referred to his hand I didn't think he was literally crying/upset about how his hand physically hurt, I felt that he was more upset because he couldn't take not being able to fully function both his hands properly...especially as an army officer it's psychologically taxing on you when you realize you are not 100% up to your physical potential...many army officers do anything and everything they can to go back to their maximum physical potential after they are injured in one way or another (physically), and this is not because they want to feel physically powerful, but because they need to feel psychologically secure and confident, and they can only feel this way when they are not visibly weak...not sure how to explain it properly...Also, Rudra's feeling of helplessness regarding his hand was/is a reflection of his helplessness regarding his feelings for Paro...his pain was inside, not outside...just my take...

P.S. Paro is very special because Rudra willingly opens up and shares his mental/emotional weaknesses to her while in a sober state. Which is why I think this episode marks a huge transition in Parud's relationship. A transition towards trust, comfort, hope, honesty, and support.

Well said ! Thats what i felt too. And bang on with the observation about the transformation in Parud's relationship. Thats what today's baring of the soul by Rudra was about. No one is willing to see the beauty of the scene i guess. Today its all about everything is wrong about Rudra/ Ashish's acting

That makes sense, I can buy that. Also maybe he is softening towards her and thereby showing her his pain...both physical and emotional.
But we fans love this show so much that we are analyzing every little thing that doesn't go right as we want it to...but end of the day let them tell their story. Minor inconsistencies are bound to be there . We can only discuss...and then move on.😛
