The ability to do so produces some great results, and allows you to enjoy such shocks as the twist in the cold opening. A combination of great directing, editing and some believable writing is enough to let us suspend our disbelief at the relative implausibility of certain situations. As is Sartaj’s transition from believing in the cult to rebelling against it. Jojo’s sudden descent into hostility with Gaitonde is a hard pill to swallow but by depicting her as mentally unstable, guilt-ridden for causing her sister’s death and wanting Gaitonde to kill her, her shift into a provocative woman goading Gaitonde to just take her out is palatable. This is one of the show’s and the episode’s recurring issues: there are things and plot developments that don’t really make sense but because the transitions are so effectively handled, you buy those on face value. I was particularly impressed by the depiction of a post-apocalyptic Mumbai in the wake of a nuclear disaster, the visual effects team did a great job combining the haunting cinematography and turning it into images of Mumbai burning in ashes, deserted and destroyed. From Sartaj’s dreams of his father, Gaitonde and all he’s been through to especially the apocalyptic visions he has that lead him to that realization, it’s all brilliantly done, delivering some of the finest sequences ever seen in the show. The way it’s executed though, deserves kudos. I’m having a hard time remembering if she was in the same clothes and the same bunker (as opposed to being in a residential flat in a building) but the tieback closes out Gaitonde’s arc, followed immediately with his imminent suicide.Īs expected, Sartaj doesn’t last in Batya’s ashram too long and eventually breaks out of his “spell”, deciding to put an end to this plan. This drives an already distraught Gaitonde into insane behavior which quickly spirals out of control and ties back nicely to the Season 1 premiere where we see him kill Surveen Chawla’s character. He comes to realize that he’s been lied to and deceived by many people, including Jojo who he had grown to trust. Gaitonde goes absolutely nuts, being haunted by visions and the voice of Guruji. Sure, it ended on a cliffhanger that’s part intriguing part frustrating and will be debated heavily in the upcoming months, but overall, it was a finely executed piece of television, the likes of which is a rarity in the landscape of Indian cinema.
