yap Amri good observation, quit possble these two thinks... I just Akash will reveled as soon as possible

It is a very interesting deduction, and valid as far as Mahima's changing her mind suddenly and walking away from the scene was concerned. She definitely saw someone over Ananya's right shoulder who alarmed her and made her decide to get away. I have said the same thing in my analysis of Episode 7, Highs and lows, at

But I do not think Ananya noted anything or spotted anyone when she turned and looked around. If she had, when she was telling Akash about it in this episode, she would have surely mentioned it, noting that that person seemed to have put Mahima off. But she does not such thing, so it seems that she did not see or notice anyone.

But this does not reduce the relevance of the part @blue, for Ananya might have noted nothing, but the bad guy might well believe that she had noted him. However, I do not feel that he would attack Ananya too, for such hits on two personnel of the airline in quick succession would draw a lot of attention and police enquiries. The killer would not want that; see how the killer's team has so far managed to pass off Mahima's murder as a suicide! They could hardly do that with Ananya.

Anyhow, I am glad to see interest in the mystery part and not just in the romance between the leads that lies ahead. The writer of Airlines is the same lady who wrote the script of the superb film, Kahani, so I have high hopes that the mystery track here will be handled expertly to the end.

Guys, regarding the Mahima-Ananya flashback scene-

Just thinking that Mahima was clearly spooked by someone's presence (at the back of Ananya) when she was begging her to come to the party in Bangalore.

She was on the verge of confessing something to Ananya but desisted when she saw someone standing behind Ananya- the fear in her eyes was clearly visible.

And when Mahima runs away, Ananya turns behind and gives a fleeting, puzzled look at her surroundings.

SO,

1. It's quite possible that Ananya saw who stood at the back, and surely this person must be one of the perpetrators of the crime Akash is investigating.

2. Or she didn't really catch whom it was.

Either way, the perpetrator might think that Mahima shared something with Ananya, which might put the latter in the cross hairs of the killer. Considering how they ruthlessly killed Mahima, it's highly probable that they might want to shut up Ananya too for good.

It'd be interesting if Ananya had seen the person, she can give a clue to Akash and help him in his investigation.

I completely agree here. Ananya is an open person. She says what she sees and what she believes so I am sure she must not have noticed anybody but there is a very high possibility the attacker might target Ananya towards the end of the series and probably that's when Akash real role will come to the forefront. But my primary thought is what was Mahima trying to tell Ananya .Something tells me its not trivial like sister's bf but it is something serious. I am sure if CVs have shown Mahima trying to reach Ananya it must be related to the main plot. My best guess is maybe she was trying to warn Ananya in some form because at the moment Inde Air is also party to sinister plot as it looks like..

My dear young ladies,

Though I like a good mystery any day better than mushy romance, and am thus loth to criticise your theories, please bear with me when I point out that

- Mahima already KNOWS that Inde Air is involved in a major anti-national conspiracy. That is what she and Akash are working on. So it is not as though this is some sudden discovery she has made that makes her bubble over with apprehensions, like a tea kettle on the boil, apprehensions that she feels obliged to share with a woman she barely knows, Ananya Rawat.

- Why share it with Ananya directly, even if there was some danger from the plot that threatens Ananya specifically? I cannot imagine our know all rookie First Office being so important as to concern a spy network, but let that pass. As a DIB staffer, it is Mahima's duty to report any such finding re: Ananya to her immediate superior, the one with whom she talks over the phone. She would be violating a whole bunch of rules if she went to Ananya directly with the information, which is bound to be confidential in any case.

This seems to me most unlikely, seeing that this is NOT an Ekta Kapoor production where literally anything goes and credibility be damned!

-What she wanted to share might well not have been about Megha's boyfriend, but for the reasons cited above, I also do not believe it would have been about any Inde Air related conspiracy.

As for Ananya being in danger, why, it is part of the contract for all heroines to be in danger at some point or points in the narrative. How else can she be dramatically rescued by the indomitable hero? 😉

I am still looking for a heroine in a TV serial who can rescue the hero instead, but this Ananya, I am afraid, is not the one. All she does in a crisis is to ask meaningless questions and get out of breath very early (the drug smuggler case), or squeak hysterically at a man frantically trying to ride out turbulence ( episode 7). Maybe she will change by Episode 26, but as of now, my dear Amri, do not lose sleep over the perils that threaten her. She will come thru intact soon enough thanks to Akash. Which is very, very boring!😉

Well said😊 As you pointed out, what matters is the information that Mahima was going to share with Ananya.

Yes, the look on Mahima's face made it clear that it was not something trivial. May be she was going to tell her about how Inde Air is the face of a big conspiracy. But I am worried whether this conspiracy is going to affect Ananya personally in some way, and that Mahima had gotten a whiff of it. And died before she could warn Ananya. Which again means that Ananya might be in BIG trouble.

The suspense is making me go crazy, waiting for the mystery to unfold! Thanks for commenting😊

You, young lady, are a revelation! I have rarely read a comment in this forum that is so clear and coherent, so well worded, and with such impeccable grammar and syntax. I know I sound like an English language schoolteacher, but I am a purist in such matters, and the kind of stuff that abounds here and elsewhere these days sets my teeth on edge. You were like a good inch of soothing
Sensodyne!😉👏

So it is I who should thank you. I liked some parts in your post very much - either for being so sensible or so neatly put or both - and I have highlighted them in dark blue. My supplementary comments are in red.

Shyamala (Aunty? but whatever you like, my dear)

Thank you for commenting, Shyamala ji. It's a great honour to have you replying to my post.😃

I agree with your observation regarding how suspicious it would be if two employees of the same airline were killed in close succession. Any crime/thriller writer worth his salt would be circumspect in showing such a deadbeat co-incidence😆 Thankfully, the writers of this show know their game well. How thankful am I that this show is not being written by, say, the writers of CID? No offense to the fans of the show, but the murderers are too obvious most of the time. And the victims tend to get killed in such a rapid succession, before you can count- one sheep, two sheep...😆

But I do think that Ananya will be in trouble later on. She seems too earnest and naive for her own good, to the extent of being plain gullible. It's good that she shared about her and Mahima's conversation with Akash, what if she had done that with someone else? It's good that no one else seems to be close enough to her to be a confidante- the air-hostesses and Capt. Rathore revel in being mean to her.

In the future, the killers might bide their time and make her death look like, say, an accident. They seem to be ruthless and determined to get their way. Hope Akash nabs them before Ananya or someone else gets hurt. Well, as she is the heroine, the ironclad rule is that she will keep getting into dangerous situations, plaguing the hero in the process, but will never actually get bumped off, this being neither Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet.

As to whether Ananya did notice the eavesdropper, hmm. As you rightly pointed out, she would have mentioned to Akash if she had seen the person and identified him. But I am still inclined to think that she did, because the entire conversation was very innocuous, and the presence of a seemingly innocent bystander at their back might not have struck her as being significant. Our memories are fallible and selective many a time, so Ananya could have filtered it out because it didn't really add up. A very neat and telling formulation that is spot on.

It was after Mahima's death that she started thinking and putting the bits together, and guilt-tripping over whether she might have done something to prevent the unfortunate set of events from unfolding. And it's quite possible that she might recollect about the person later in a Eureka moment. Yes, and I only hope she does not blab about it with the wrong person within earshot.

And maybe I am being fanciful here, but at the end of the flashback, Ananya is shown as veering around sharply and focusing on someone. Will go and re-watch the scene to make sure😊

But yeah, at the end it doesn't make a difference because the killer(s) might think that she knows potentially incriminating info, and that might spiral into something dangerous.

And I concur with you on how the mystery track is being handled skillfully. Thanks for sharing the info that the writer is the same one who wrote Kahaani. 😊That explains the engrossing plot and the spot-on pacing, which are the key ingredients of a good thriller.

I am still trying to wrap my head around what on earth could a spy/undercover agent be investigating about an airline company. His investigation doesn't seem to be a financial nature, but more on the lines of NIA/CIA stuff. But yes, it makes it all the more intriguing, and when have I ever resisted a good spy thriller😃 I am a die hard fan of the genre. An airline company can be a front for many criminal activities, above all for a drug smuggling racket which would be, taking volume vs value, both very easy to handle and extremely lucrative. Next, the proceeds of such a racket can and are used to fund terrorist activities. I think that the bottom line is a planned terrorist attack - perhaps using bioweapons like anthrax or even a smuggled miniature nuclear weapon, thought that is more dicey because of the need for bulky shielding and complex timers. Remember that at the end of the donor heart episode, Akash's superior talks of thousands or lakhs of lives being at stake. It has to be something on a mass scale, not just RDX explosions, unless one is thinking of dozens of them countrywide.

Loving your reviews, they are sheer awesomeness😊 You have remarkably delineated all the noteiiworthy aspects of the episodes. A request at this juncture- why don't you make a separate thread for them? It will make navigating easier. I had already read all your reviews for the earlier episodes, but failed to notice that you had updated till the seventh one:-)

Thank you very, very much, my dear. My posts are an acquired taste, so I am always touched by such warm praise from a new reader.

As for your well taken point re: standalone threads being far more accessible, I would be ready to do separate threads for Airlines,as I used to do so for Jodha Akbar till April last. After that, I had no interest in posting episode analyses here as I did not like the way the place was run. I did 20 consecutive episode analyses for all the 20 episodes of Yudh, however.

Now that I am being asked to do standalone episode analyses for Airlines, by you and some others, the problem is that the powers that be here have a penchant for pulling me up for anything and nothing, invariably taking me unawares. The last such rap on the knuckles was for discussing Akbar's siege of Chittor on, if I am not wrong, Mandy's thread. Now I did not know that historical discussions have, in that forum, the Jodha Akbar one, to be confined to a single designated thread. But ignorance of the law is not a valid defence in the courts, and similarly, ignorance of the rules would not be a valid defence in that forum either, I suppose. So, bingo, I was socked with another increase in my warning level, and now I cannot do stand alone threads.

This would normally not bother me much, as I was not interested in posting episode analyses on anything, but now Khushi has got me into this and I am stuck. I am afraid you will have to catch my takes on her threads for the present, but I promise to PM you, so at least you will not miss them.

Thanks again for your kind words. Have a great day😊As I noted above, thank YOU!
