Yudh - Episode 16 review. Beware of minor spoilers.

The sixteenth episode of Yudh had many framing Shanti Constructions and it's employees for terrorist attacks, fraudulent property purchases, supposed employee murder, the murder of a family member (although, that wasn't technically framing).

Yudh has started to really lose his cool by this stage. He even asks Rishi to take a month and close down the mining business. He is loosing the support of his top two advisors (media and operations) as they are both under the scrutiny of the law. He also loses Taruni as she asks to be relieved of her position as CEO.

Pavail Gulati, the actor who plays Rishi, was as unconvincing as a miserable man as an iron rod as a cushion. The acting and the storyline dropped a few notches in this episode, which is surprising as it is reaching its final episodes in the next week.

Unfortunately, it is really disheartening to see that a show capable of so much, what with a brilliant cast and two very talented executive producers, could not deliver what it set out to do.

I have been sitting in front of my pen and paper, waiting for a moment to pop up, in memory, that I truly appreciated, this episode, and there were just flashes of a few scenes like Mona's friend's reaction when Anand asks her if she can do something about Mona's legal problems or even an inspector going through abandoned fake police uniforms.

All in all, this episode was lack-lustre, to say the least, and hopefully, as always, the rest of the few episodes of Yudh won't be as tiresome.

Happy weekend! :-)
