RKC - it's a wrap

Last episode of RKC today ... although I lost interest some time back, it still remained a very watchable show for the most part. And with the ending, rushed though it was, the cvs did close a lot of loops ... Pujan and family disappeared, and their comic failed attempts on Vatsalya and Anami were never revealed ... but Sudha's wrongdoings all came to light ... Narottam was absolved ... in 2-3 very beautiful scenes ... Anami-Adhiraj love story was thankfully left dangling in a promise and Adhiraj and family staying back in town ... Satrupa and Baldev's relationship mended ... Pandit-Panditayin back, their truth revealed ... and of course Anami-Satrupa finally got rid of all misunderstandings and biases, and bonded.

The last week had many beautiful scenes ... Narottam revealing his mother as the culprit ... Baldev and Satrupa both approaching Narottam with guilt about how they treated him all these years was long overdue, and was done very well in a series of scenes over the last 2-3 days.

Anami promising to keep Narottam's secret was not required, I would have thought it was better to reveal everything and start on a fresh slate.

BD-Dheeru fight cleared as well ... with Pujan gone, i'm going to presume that Pujan used his guile to drive a wedge between Baldev and Dheeru so that he could get rid of the one honest, upright employee who could have detected his misdeeds ... cvs didn't have time to close that loop.

All in all, I am going to miss this show.  Such superb acting, dialogues, excellent casting ... the cvs never strayed from the storyline and characterization for the most part ... though SP did try to make Anami the typical 'mahaan' FL in the end ... never did get why everyone thought she was so wonderful.

The two actors I will remember are Narayani for her Satrupa ... and Akash Gill for Narottam. Akash got sidelined in the maa-beti wars, but I loved the slow evolution of his character. And he absolutely shone in his scenes in the last week. Loved the Nar-Sat, Nar-BD and Nar-Anami scenes ... especially the last scene today when Baldev hugs him and Satrupa accepts him completely. The hesitation was so natural, but the final acceptance was so sweet for that poor unloved boy. 

NS was a powerhouse all through ... will watch out for her next show. She seems to enjoy powerful characters ... and she is such a treat to watch. 

Mahima is really good for her age ... this girl has a bright future. Loved her scenes with Satrupa - the tashan as well as the final sweet moments. And the scene today where she silently consoles a shattered Satrupa when daroga discloses Vat's truth was beautifully done. 

What I liked best about the show was that there were no out and out villains ... even Sudha had such a powerful back story that there were many times I could empathise completely with her desire for revenge ... till she went on her killing spree, of course ... even so, she did it for a reason... her past truly was a dark past ... unlike most of our angry young men of TV 

BD was good too ... his character didn't get the attention he deserved, but the last week showed his change well. Ankit evolved as an actor through the show, he was raw when he started, but much better by the end. Vikram Singh, Gayatri, MP and PP are of course seasoned actors. 

Last but not least ... costumes, jewelry and sets ... the crew of this show, including the costume and set designer deserve special applause. 

So RKC ends ... and we get some news of Sanaya just at the right time ... plus I'm looking forward to Bepannah with Harshad.
