I kind of like him ( not going into the murders which he committed and the almost homicide case in his own house)
It's more to do with Raghav Rao. He has the capacity to provoke him without getting effected. Mandar is cool, calm and collected. Any layman is going to sweat when a gun is pointed just in front of your eyes. Well, Mandy did not budge an inch. He plays his Dil Bechare role to the T but in reality the man is Macbeth.
Raghav is too impulsive and hot tempered. He behaves in the same manner with Sunny and Mandar. A intelligent man has to differentiate between the two.
Anyways Mandar is a perfect Villian. Maya Mehrotra ki yaad aa gyi.
