Yudh - Episode 3 review. Beware of minor spoilers.

The third episode of Yudh continues it's story lines of the feud between Yudh and the Maliks, Yudh's mining project and how all of it is slowly impacting his personal life and health.

In this episode, Yudh seems to be in a stronger hold of himself instead of just reacting to his environment, which is a refreshing change from the lost man in the previous two episodes.

The major part of tonight's story revolves around the allegations against Yudh about his construction company's capabilities over a fallen hospital built by Shanti Constructions (the company run by Yudh).

A parallel storyline runs where a Naxalite group threatens Yudh against mining and are seen spying on his son. Mostly, this storyline will run in conjunction with the hospital storyline at a later time. As of now, it is hard to gauge what is going down with Yudh and his life and where and how did it all start going to hell?!

As I said in my previous review, the female characters are not realising their full potential. Don't get me wrong, it's not really a blindly feminist thing. It's just that I've noticed many female characters brought to the front, introduced very well and promptly thrown into stereotypes or in the background.

Tonight's episode was, probably, not as strong as last night's episode in terms of character development or story movement. However, it did have some interesting points like how the Maliks and the Siwarkar's react to each other in a social setting (not a big scene, but, it was a nicely refreshing one, all the same).

Yudh has shown good potential in the last three episodes, however, that potential seems sitting on its arse, eating chocolate chip cookies at the moment. The show still needs further dramatic thrust to fully reach its potential, which seems like it's hanging somewhere in the middle.
