Heroes and Villains

Jaideep Ahlawat has a new admirer in me. I've liked him in previous smaller roles too but Paatal Lok of course belongs to him. How does someone like him sustain or better this kind of new success? Will he be able to? 

Watching series like Paatal Lok is hard. The reality of it seems very absurd at times but you know in your heart that it must be true. And it makes you uncomfortable that this semi-fantasy-reality world is not too far away. 

But this every-smalltown-killer-is-a-victim-of-his-circumstances is becoming a cliche for me. I mean, it seems that they only want to make me sympathise with this victim while not offering any hope of change in circumstances. "Oh, that's how these hinterlands are, you know!"
