Just finished watching episode 2, and liked it.
Liked Mohib much more in this epi, than the first one...seems like he is a good actor, as @dreamstar was saying...much more layered performance, on display today...when you can’t tell, which way the character is going to swing...positive or negative!
The leads have lovely chemistry...something very understated about it...don’t know if they’ve been cast earlier, but would make for a good pair, in a full-on love story...
The child actor is good too...very good casting for the role!
Some good touches to bring out the ‘unusualness’ of the house...glad they got Sumbul to speak about the flowers in the vase, etc.
The suspense is building up well, and logically too...found it very silly that Aman should find nothing fishy about the electrician having disappeared with only one chappal in the room...glad, they showed him driving to the shop the next morning...
The Ludo bonding scene between father and daughter was very good...attention to detail, nicely captured!👍
Still finding Aman’s motives highly suspect...there was no obvious reason to bring the Sandook down, in the store room...I mean, who does that, especially one day after moving into a new house...it’s the sandook, again, and the photo therein, that lead to the eerieness of the photo on the wall, as well...
Also, his expressions on Sumbul’s “Itni achhi chai to main bhi nahin banati” gave out a lot, without giving out much! Fine storytelling that, and Mohib Mirza, as I mentioned earlier, was very good today!👍
That blink and you miss it introduction to Neeli, was a very good touch...the best moment of the epi!👏
Sumbul’s MIL toh puri Mental hai...hope they use this drama to call out the evil of black magic...is a prevalent practice in the subcontinent and a strong message against it should be communicated through this drama.
Next week’s promo seems interesting...as I mentioned earlier, Aman’s character can go either way...
The only flaw that I observed in the epi...Sumbul keeping the trunk vertically as she drags it outside the house...it was obviously done for the effect of getting it to fall, and therefore being haunted, but could have been handled better, I felt...nobody keeps a sandook vertically, for God’s sake!
Overall, a good epi, and the story is progressing nicely...with the suspense element being handled well!👍
Cheers!
