it was really meh for me. it didn't have any of the punch that I am used to seeing when a character digs up a hidden wound. there should be more emotion and darkness and frustration from viaan. instead, it was all muted. I didn't get the sense he was seething inside which he should be. he didn't feel tightly wound up and ready to spring and in a choas of emotion. so I get the scene was for him to connect with katha but if I look at it from the point of his stupid view of women, I don't think the scene was written well. it lacked the bitterness and the kind of back and forth that should have happened. the sort of dialogue where viaan is asking why would some woman steal his family and the angry bitterness that he as a child had to deal with it all. instead, we are getting some sane clean version of viaan. all I can say is meh. 🤷
aiyyyo.
How can you expect him to be bitter when they have spent around 30 episodes breaking him down from his ego completely, they are showing you the culmination of what we were to interpret as his introspection while he was completely going through his “don’t know what to do with these feelings of guilt and confusion now that I know more about Katha”… his bitter phase was done and over with in the scene near the car where she yells back at him. At this point, he has reached a point of no ego. He has understood his mother is and has been delusional and that affected him.
Every scene you see since that day where he comes to tell Katha that he didn’t know she was a mother. She asking him “what if I wasn’t a mother”…and every interaction since then …his with everyone around him helped him answer that question.
To me, this was the story the writers built. The high drama they left for rest of the storylines,
