Whenever I rewatch edits or scenes with Agastya, I really miss his calm collected nature. He carried such class and his trauma never made him cruel towards anyone.
I’m not gonna lie, I even miss his accent. I haven’t watched Sai’s previous shows so at first it was interesting to see him in this new avatar. And it was easier to enjoy his scenes when I thought Surya was Agastya.
From what y’all have shared, he managed to make the distinction between Surya and his past South Indian characters as well, which is good for him. But it’s so weird how despite that, they’ve decided to give him such a darker foundation shade. The rain scene really made the contrast clear.
I miss Imlie as well, whether it’s the styling or the daily bezzati, she looks like such a majbhoor bechari. They took away her spunk and made her a punching bag for the Chaudhary’s and Surya. She used to stand up for others, whether it be Sonali or Nyonika, yet here she’s burdened by Agastya’s promise so she won’t even help herself.
It’s such a sad sight to see after the beautiful journey we got to experience with Imlie and Agastya. The retro vibes, the music and the aesthetics were a complement, they were the heart and soul.
