Hi all,
Inayah here
How awesome was the first episode? left me flabbergasted!!
The forum is filled with so many analysis' of the utter brilliance of the first episode..going to add my two cents (I know it's a little late, but hey better late than never)!!
Really liked how the team started off the episode with the underlying aspect, they gave the chance to viewers to connect and understand the characters with great depth
Filmy start it was, with all the gunfire..but I loved it to the core..left me with many questions as to why it all happened?
Upon revelation of Rudra and his father's story..one thing kept irking me!!..fair enough Rudra's mother was beautiful and she left the father, but the question that rose in my mind was why did she also leave behind Rudra her child?..didn't she care at all about him?..or was there another reason as to why she left?..maybe she was driven away..wasn't her choice..father maybe corrupting Rudra with lies with regards to his mother?
Loved..loved..loved the ending..although it was disturbing, we are yet to see why this reaction from Rudra?..or is it Paro's dream? (if spoilers are to be believed)
The good
Will start off with the ambiance..everything right from cinematography..acting..expressions..locales was spot on, it created the right feel for the start of the story amongst viewers
The music is to die for..what soulful lyrics
The child artists were best yet..they stole the show..young Rudra was amazing beyond words..what a talented child artist who conveyed intensity and pain from his heart..he barely had a sentence but yet left a mark with just the use of his eyes, on the other hand young Paro had many dialogues, she was good..played her part well and was not too kiddish or chirpy which I quite liked..she was real..but in comparison to young Rudra she fell
Preferred the entrance scene of Rudra, was much better compared to Paro..it was more dramatic and unexpected
Sanaya excelled in the expressions department, she was outstanding..as for Ashish his silhouette left such a big impact, the body language he protrayed without being seen left me amazed, if he could do this on the first episode then he will surely wow us all over when Rudra is seen more
So much more I can add but can't be asked 😆...I think I've covered the basics
The bad
The famous one being (mentioned by many members) the butterfly..how fake did it look lol..it was a little far etched, but hey not everything can be perfect
Sanaya with the accent seemed okay to me..but then I saw many people saying she will improve with time..I didn't see anything wrong maybe because I have no idea what rajisthani dialect sounds like..anyhoo, if majority are saying she needs improvement then I will just go by that
Another thing I didn't quite like (sorry to those who did) was the bangs on Sanaya, leaving them out didn't quite give the feel of a village girl...but oh well! I won't complain as the rest of her look filled that void
I also wanted to see more on the Thakur..they gave a little intro on him and showed a snippet of his back, which left me disappointed..I was looking forward to seeing him more in the episode..hope they make him more known in the next episode?!
I guess that's all the faults I could think of!!
But I think the entire episode overshadowed these minor faults..the awesomeness of the episode overdid the faults it showcased
The Ugly
The father and son lives revolve around this..the ugliness keeps reminding them of why their mother/wife left them
The bloodbath of villagers by BSD officers..leaving them frightened by the terror the BSD cause..utter hatred shown towards them
Murder of innocence (Paro's mother and father)..along with others on the bus
The ending scene of Rudra and Paro which invloves Paro being surrounded by a ring of fire..for which Sanaya infused out excellent expressions..that scene was disturbing, questions buzz in mind..is that how much Rudra hates women?..or is there another purpose to it all?
All in all an mind-blowing first episode..exceeded expectations..filled with amazing creativity..left me hungry for more, can't wait to see what phase takes place next
Phew!..will stop there..sorry for the long rant, hope I didn't bore any of you x
