I recall the scene where Dhritarashtra storms out after being denounced incapable of bearing the role of king, and the follow up scenes with Gandhari where he breaks down sobbing leading Gandhari ever the patient, loyal, and loving wife to comfort him, he welcomes her affection before his male ego and pride promptly resurfaces again and he pushes her away. The scene was well enacted by both. One feels emphathy towards him at that point by virtue of his fate of being blind, something not within his control, something which has afforded him nothing but suffering, the anguish translated well, also his feverish state was expressed well as he switches quickly from one emotion to the next.
