Okay so, today's episode was better than yesterday's one. As usual, it wasn't great, but the last 5 minutes were really good! Definitely catch our old Atharva in action if you're contemplating whether to watch the episode or not, watch it for Atharva whatever you do! In those 5 minutes, I felt like I was watching the old JNDSD again.
Overall, I had mixed reactions to the episode. I'm still a little bit confused, but knowing the CV's, they're not going to give us any solid answers any time soon so...
First, we have Imposter Atharva or whoever the hell this dude is misbehaving with Vividha. Yes, I did feel very uncomfortable, thank god it only lasted a minute or so! We know this dude gets a knife wound, as he chases after Vividha we see him limping with blood stains trailing after him. And then suddenly in the next shot, we see real Atharva limping (?), however, this time I don't see blood trailing after him (correct me if I'm wrong), he gets entangled in the mess of wires, & then we get childlike Atharva playing with the wires :s now, Sujata later confirms it was in fact Atharva stuck in the wires, but suddenly when the Vashisht's look on, the wires have disappeared. And then, Ravish himself looks for the knife wound on the real Atharva, but doesn't see one. That pretty much confirms to me that it is not Atharva after all, a knife wound doesn't just disappear out of nowhere.
My second example is Atharva's dialogue. So he's saying 'I didn't do it...I did do it (whilst pointing at himself), I didn't do it...I did do it (pointing at himself again.' Again, there's something fishy going on.
We have Vividha & the Vashisht's, now Vipul looked a bit off to me today but I may have imagined it, I don't know when it comes to this show, it's a bloody puzzle. Even Kalindi, remember when she said she'll do something related to Vividha, I don't know what, then conveniently she was out today, along with that hand wound, what is that about? The Vashisht's probably think Vividha has gone cuckoo, which will lead to Vividha's dialogue of the family feeling pity towards her. Now, I still don't understand the purpose behind this track, but as long as it's not the real Atharva (whether or not he's mentally imbalanced) misbehaving with Vividha I'm cool (even though this hamshakal business is just stupid and unrealistic).
Oh, let's not forget the man in the jeans and a bat (was it?). Some more mystery thrown into this terrible mix.
Our old Atharva, boy was I excited at that point. I literally perked up. We had his protective side, that intensity, & his BGM Atharva loves his Mother dearly, we already know that, then why would anybody think it's the real Atharva harming his Mother with a bat? As soon as Ravish raised his voice on his Mother, Atharva came back & slayed. Nobody dares speak to his Mother this way. And then he says 'Maa...' twice 😃 I don't know about you guys, but it doesn't add up to me, it being the same person.
Atharva <3 thank you for bringing that spark that was missing, even if it was only for a little while!
Precap: not worth mentioning, I don't even know what that was about. Ridiculous.
