Episode 7, here we go. (Sigh) I'm getting rather tired of the same commercial advertisement appearing in every episode break. Getting back to tonight's episode of Yudh, the Naxalite related plot finally came into full view and the kidnapping of Nayan and Yudh's child, Rishi, took place, something the show has been teasing will happen for a while.
The episode started and ended in a quick manner. The build up to Rishi's kidnapping, especially the scene just before the incident (fireflies!), is spectacular! I wasn't sure how they would be able to carry it out and it seemed like a good enough explanation as any.
Among the few things that were noteworthy about this episode, the most prominent one was Yudh naming Taruni the next CEO of Shanti Constructions. Why that was noteworthy was because of something that Taruni's boyfriend quite clearly explains: Why would Yudh put Taruni in the front line knowing that Taruni, an oncologist, has no business running a construction company? Even if Yudh is delusional due to his illness, it still does not add up. Maybe, future episodes will provide further clarity into this.
Another thing, actually two things, that stuck with me from tonight's episode were the building frustration in Anand's wife and Mona's predicament regarding her brother-in-law who, by the way, does a brilliant job playing the innocent-but-creepy character. Both these moments from this episode left me wanting to know more about these independent stories, something that could be possible, in future episodes.
However, tonight's "brilliant" moment was, actually, Yudh's conversation with the negotiator between Yudh and the village-folk where Yudh's mining project is being undertaken, with regard to two kids being held behind bars as suspects in the kidnapping of Rishi Siwarkar. The writing in this scene shows a brilliant amalgamation between worlds where striving for the greater good, while stepping on a few toes and rules is a norm, but each world is equally appalled by the other's tendency towards it (negotiator suggests that the Siwarkars delay in looking for Rishi so its consequences can result in the village-folk having negative opinions against the Naxalites).
Although tonight's episode was able to maintain its pace and continuity in terms of its story, it ended rather abruptly. Maybe because I didn't notice the time or that I was quiet engrossed in the show, I was quiet shocked with the way it ended. This episode was without times where one felt an obvious WTF, but was definitely one that would continue to nag at the back of one's mind wondering about it. Quite a few shades, we have seen of the show, so far. Thirteen more to go!
