dont we all know that Rudra is inspired from othello ? if we know about it then, we all must know that othello is a shakespear's tale and how shakespear's heroes are tragic and full of emotional breakdowns.
Still judging Rudra's breakdown scenes ? firstly, they cannot restrict him to an intilligence officer of army only, his life has so many angles, and kudos to the CVs for dealing with every angle, especially the one which has affected his life in such a vulnerable manner.
There have been complains on how Rudra breaks down daily, or how he is not allegible to be in the army ? Really ?
the last time he broke down was back when he had seen maala's picture with tejwat, and moreover he was drunk. His father had slipped to coma, mother proved to be the wife of a terrorist, and he should not have reacted ? how does that challenge his balance and intilligence as an officer ?
after that day, his latest breakdown was in tonight's episode, and lemme make sure that his breakdown was not out of the blue, they had set the stage, he was being emotionally manipulated by his father, his collagues, his wife to let go off his fear, to accept his love, didn they provoke him to go all in his knees tonight ?
If he was disbalanced, then why do we think that he would try and push paro away from him ? why would he be curt with his father ? why would he swallow the tag of being a monster and still never allow his love/attraction/affection to dominate over his exterior self and ruin his mission ? WHY ?
let us just imagine/guess, god forbids, if our mom would abandon us, and we would have no clue of her whereabouts, is she alive/ dead, happy/sad, she wanted to take me with her or not, or am i being abandoned because i did not deserve my mother's love ? all these questions just rip off one's soul, tears out the humanity insidem because there is no CLOSURE to the wounds, to the search, to the questions. Rudra grew up like this, he said it tday that how he could never play in his childhood, never live his childhood, but spent it with wait and belief that she would come back. how tortured his soul was, wasn't it visible ?
But still we wnat him not to breakdown ? because he is rustic and has a moonch ? or because that will gain sympathy for him ? or because it is really easy to ignore someone's grief and force him to believe in present and survive ?
Lastly, this show is a drama, Rudra is an author backed role, his role as i had earlier stated, gives an impression about the hero of a novel, a play, and not about a random hindi serial. His role has many layers, and every layer must be explored, and this time it was his grief.
Moreover, he never breaks down randomly, he broke down only in front of paro, and didn't Paro provoke him to do so ? she wanted him to let go off right ?
PS:- whoever thinks that Ashish overdoes it, i cannot imply my POV on them, but one thing i will definitely say is that, Ashish has been ultra convincing and believable with his emotional scenes, his switch off from one expression to another has been so real and flawless everytime. Time again, there is no point in criticising him by calling him OTT, because neither that will take away the essence of his scene or the impact the scenes create. Only because his role overrrides the FL, does not make him faulty here. He has the potential and CVs are utilising it, thats it.
