Now there’s an actor who expresses copiously without even uttering a syllable. The Rudra Veerbhadra is like a split personality of the ever patient Mahadev, who, even though representing emotions extremely opposite to his creator, reflects the essence of Mahadev completely, even through vengeful anger.Īfter Daksh ‘s slaying, when Mahadev walks in at the “crime scene”, the unimaginable extent of his grief is conveyed by a heavy silence, a betrayed pair of eyes and a broken walk. The juxtaposition of the mourning Mahadev preoccupied with Sati ‘s death with the eager blood thirsty Veerbhadra about to go on a killing rampage, is perhaps another reminder of why Mohit Raina is known today in our circles as the Master of Expressions. The sequence where a deeply sad Mahadev, almost lost in an agonizing trance, orders a very wrathful and destructive Veerbhadra to kill Daksh is Mohit’s second winning moment. I think it is a very daunting task for an actor to display different emotions at once. Mahadev is definitely personally taking interest in Mohit’s portrayal: how else do you explain such an authentic representation of an abstract God who has only been felt, but never seen?īut that is just one of the examples of how he has mastered impeccably the character he is playing. Mohit Raina looks like he has the Mahadev living within him.” Oh yes. Amish Tripathi, the now famous author of the Shiva Trilogy tweets right after: “Just saw the 1st sight of Lord Shiva’s righteous anger in Devon ke Dev. We cry along with Mahadev and take a moment to feel for Him, someone who had just been a wishing well for us till now. That’s when our own grief, having just witnessed this scriptural tragedy, dawns on us in entirety and we don’t hold in the tears anymore. But the exact moment when we viewers realize the actual impact of the just witnessed tragedy, is in the scene that follows: Mahadev, the ever calm, sublimely controlled God, lets out a blood curdling scream and every tissue on his face wreathes in agony. The sight of her burning body leaves us shocked and breathless.
So when after a heart wrenching attempt at making the arrogant Daksh see the folly of his ways, Sati realizes the futility of her birth, she immolates herself in protest of the insults heaped on her husband by her father. This Monday, Let’s look at Mohit’s best moments as an actor after Sati’s immolation: The assertive scenes where yet again Mr Raina proved effortlessly that much like the God among Gods that he is playing, he is the Actor among actors. Testing times for Mahadev but an extremely fruitful period for Mohit Raina, the actor : The opportunity to showcase the versatility he can bring to a character even as ambiguous and contradictory as Mahadev, who hasn’t been figured out in his entirety by anyone, has been fully utilized. Right from the day He lost Sati he has gone through vivid and extreme experiences. The last few weeks have been a roller coaster ride for DKDM viewers and Mahadev.
