Hi Geetha..managed to watch the epi despite myself. It was agonizing to say the least, and yes, the actor playing Ronnie's mom was not the best, but the situation itself was so heart-wrenching that the eyes welled up.
Kabir's grief and the quiet anger simmering in the tear-filled eyes was very effectively portrayed today by Rajeev đ. The part where he was lighting the pyre reminded me exactly of this scene from this movie called "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" that I watched recently. In it, this Englishman in his 60s comes to India to look for the Indian boy he was "in love with" in his youth which he spent in India. Of course, such things were taboo even in Western countries then, and definitely in the India of the past, so as soon as the adults got to know of their relationship, they separated them and sent the boy back to England. Now the Englishman wants to meet this man (the boy he still loves) one last time before he dies. He does find him. And the Indian man's wife isn't surprised to see him at all! She knows! They meet. They hug. The Englishman dies. And the Indian man cremates him in Hindu style with his wife watching in the background. It is so poignant and touching, the scene that stood out the most in this movie for me! And that is what today's scene in Reporters reminded me of. Now go ahead. Call me deluded.
The scene transition from the funeral to Tinnu in disguise was so totally jarring for me! đđ
Ananya being out of action definitely seems like a shortfall for Kabir...already he's one man short in his army and that too the most trustworthy, capable one! May I say the office meet with Kabir and the rest of the gang seemed so empty, so lacking without Ronnie and his cool thinking. đ They really should have had a grief counselor in to talk to all the staff, especially poor Richa. My heart really went out to her today.
I was just thinking as I watched that in her moments of lucidity Ananya should not be seized by irrational anger and do something impulsive yet again like threaten RG! And now I read spoilers that she's brandishing a gun! I do hope she doesn't do something crazy.. its time for her to behave responsibly now at least! Kabir's been shouldering all the responsibility so far for most things, but at least I should say this for Ananya.. she courageously broke the news to Ronnie's mom. That was good. Now lets see what more sensible stuff she's capable of.
