Hello! Welcome back from the last weekend of July! (The Queen - my queen, Jo Rowling's - birthday is coming - the last day of the seventh month arrives!) Two weeks in and Yudh is still a growing force, episode to episode, showing a lot of potential growth. However, it's been so that there has not been an episode where I've completely lost myself in the show and marvelled my luck that I got to watch it. Yes, Yudh has far to go to get that "epic" status. Yet,the fact that it has the potential to do so is, in fact, a device for hope. Of course, thank god for that!
As performances go, tonight's episode nine was a better affair than the last one; Tigmanshu Dhulia and the actor who plays Mona's brother-in-law (Aargh! I'm so bad at names! Sorry! :-( ) had brilliant cameos in this episode, both of whom, incidentally, playing sneaky grey assholes.
After all the drama of last week, with the Naxalite-Yudh war in the background of an "accidental" dynamite blast at the mine, this episode had the workers, who were led by the Negotiator (told you I was bad with names!), hold a demonstration in front of the mine plant. To deal with this issue, Yudh went traipsing down to the mine making a ton of promises of benefits to the workers, nullifying the effect of the Naxalite efforts to rally the workers to go against the construction company. The speech delivered by Amitabh Bachchan to the workers was one of passion and conviction, but not entirely blind compassion. Amitabh Bachchan's performance in delivering this was the high point of the episode!
Barring a few "wow" moments, tonight's episode, while much better than the last one, was not even reaching the mark left by the show in its middle episodes. An average performer, but satisfactory nonetheless (Have gone a bit British Cricket Commentator after a whole day of watching the test match today. Please excusing the convoluted sentences, please! Thank you!).
