Yudh - Episode 12 review. Beware of minor spoilers.

First of all, sincere apologies for this much of a delay in getting this review together! No excuses for the delay and I promise it won't happen again!,

Now, let's dive into the episode!

The last episode was a much slower affair than this one and rightly so. Like I said earlier, it was quite obvious that the sudden dip in pace was not unwarranted. This episode was both better paced and more alert in the path it was taking the story.

The concerns regarding a conflict of interest with Taruni being the figure-head of the organization was played out well by Sarika. The subtler undertones of Rishi's dilemma to prove himself either by emulating his father or solving his father's problems is quite nicely done!

If I have just one real complaint with this episode, and the way the series is going, it is just that there are times when some scenes don't necessarily have to be there. They seem to be adding extra burden to an already heavy plot! At this point, even the joker they keep adding in between seems forced, since the centre story has shifted well away from Yudh to the Mining story. Of course, keeping a story focused on one main character is never easy, but, a sub-plot taking the centre stage while the character becomes only a participant is a serious concern.

I have said that the makers made a smart decision by having a 20 episode series, instead of a shorter one, since it would give them ample time to explore a lot of the supporting characters and their plots. However, the series is fast adding too many complications, subduing the role of Yudh substantially!
