1. Is it worth getting this lens over the 50mm 1.2, in terms of bokeh and picture quality ?

No.  Any TV lens is hardly going to win in picture quality against a dedicated SLR lens.

2. Is the price fair at USD 2700 ?

For the 50/1.0L maybe... but for a legacy TV lens?  Not even Zeiss commands that kind of price.

3. Is the rangefinder or is the TV version the rage/ the one with the dream quality ?

Rangefinder 50/0.95 is the "dream lens"

BTW I saw the 50mm F 1.0, also which was ridiculously priced at USD 6575/-.

Which probably explains the pricing of the TV lens...

Hope to get your thoughts and inputs to help me save money or making a right investment !

Save your money.  There are other, much cheaper, 50/0.XX lenses for APS-C on mirrorless.  In fact, one of the more interesting lenses is the upcoming 40/0.85

Then there is the highly regarded Noktor, which you can get somewhat cheaper without the rangefinder coupling.
