I am the kind of person who has watched the best of Indian TV shows and the worst of them as well and also am a great fan of Netflix and Amazon India's OTT releases, so i think, in my humble opinion, I quite understand how the serials workš¤£
But honestly, I have been meaning to analyse the second promo since it's release, but felt too lazy to do so but here we are.𤣠The points in italics coincide with fellow forum member @NamuVyas
The first shot is the one we have earlier seen, with Maya breaking the clock and saying that she wants to see MJ restless, destroyed.
Next is followed by the voiceover introducing MJ, (honestly, the voice over was a bit weird, imhoš ) They decided to break the stereotype of businessmen with zero consciousness and showed him as a more gentle, god-fearing guy in the trailer, which I feel was a bad move, because if he has hurt Maya, than we clearly know his streak of darkness is more than Maya's and they should have acknowledged that.
There is MJ's wife and two other women in the shot of cake cutting, one I think is Rudra's fiancee and the other is the sister (real/cousin/step, take your pickš )
Rudra disallows Rishi of speaking of death, so there are chances he is ill or has been ill since ages and is now getting better, or Rudra was just being protective and if they want to show conflict between the two brothers, maybe it's just the latter or a mix of both. (also, Rudra will be a difficult nut to crack, since his loyalty to Rishi is way more reflective in the whole trailer and his initial crazy hatred towards Maya won't let him swing towards her manipulation easily)
The next one is of Maya watching the city, and I feel she has just returned from a foreign country or something after healing from the past and has been giving it a few years before striking, because this thought coincides with the voice over saying that an unknown force is coming to wreck havoc.
She says she will rest only after watch everything burn which we have seen for long now, in both Seasons as well as every revenge themed movie/serial.š¤
As the voiceover says she will be love for one and hailstorm for the other, she saves Rishi from water and I feel that either she manipulated his accident in the sea/he decided to take a leap of faith in the sea (but seeing him go all lovey dovey while talking about MJ to his parents, I think it was an "accident")
"Aapki hone waali bahu" matlab? It's not as if she promised him marriage as soon as she saved him, the dialogue should have atleast been "I am in love with her," consent naam ki cheez hi nahi hai, huh!
We then see Rudra, and I guess he is pretty successful, but not as much as MJ, so the taunt Maya throws as him is when he loses something, or challanges her.
Is it just me or that Maya leaning on the wall, looking at her phone was a soft scene? She traces a bracelet the man in the photograph is wearing (which MJ is wearing in the first shot, it's not exactly visible, but you can see it)
In the fight club, I feel Maya pays the guy to either trash Rudra/lose to him and then says that every drop of blood counts, reminiscent of whatever MJ did to her (I feel he tried to kill her/carry out her miscarriage or something in line of that) Also, why does she pour alcohol on his hand, I am pretty sure alcohol consumers are super upset with that scene š
In the scene in the car, Maya looks scared, maybe Rishi tries to take her to meet Rudra/MJ but she manages to talk him out of it.
Why does she waste the cake though?š¤¦āāļø I think it's becuase the cake triggers a bad memory or maybe the CVs just don't about food wastageš¤·
Then we get the scenes from earlier promos (why does the man in the gun scene look like Rudra, is it just me or does anyone else feel that way?) followed by MJ saying (to his wife?/assitant?) that someone wants to hurt his kids (yeah, no shit, Sherlok!) This is followed by the most important scenes (according to me), Maya's flashback.
She wears white in them, so clearly she went dark (pun totally intended) after that particular incident
Maya is smiling, so either she announces her pregnancy/ proposes marriages/ proposes some sort of way to be together with MJ forever, and then gets slapped (ouch! When will Indian TV stop hitting their female leads'?š¤¦āāļø) And then MJ strangles her and pushes her off. (Assuming her to be dead, wrong move bro, atleast check kar lete, kya businessman banega re tu?š¤¦āāļø) Also, Maya is wearing a similar bracelet in the scene as she is falling.
I feel MJ will be initially shown as a caring man who apart from Maya, everyone can't stop singing praises about, initially, especially Rishi, but only few people like Rudra dislike him.
Rudra will be the kind of guy who is good at everything yet someone messes up big time, but wants to prove himself and has big fat male ego so can't handle anyone else winning. If they show him as a MCP, I feel it will give him a better stroke of character. He will be like Shourya from Ek Hasina Thi, his parents' weakness, who doesn't really care about anyone except Rishi for Rudra; himself for Shourya.
Rishi looks like a kicked puppy half the time in the trailer, but is the most relatable one. We all can be easily manipulated, we all fall in love with beautiful people and trust them a bit more easily then the rest. I want to see an arc for him where he goes all crazy about Maya fighting his family but then coming back to his senses and drifitng away from her unless he stumbles upon the past.
Since Maya requires no help from him, obviously, so he decides to either get played with (like Arjun during the first 3 years of marriage in season 1) or just give up on his whole family and leave (becuase he hasn't done anything and at last all that will be left for Maya to do with him is either kill him or cause permanent physical/mental injury)
Since the rest of the 3 women were given zero importance, I don't think Maya will target them, but it would have been cool to see her do so, or atleast something to MJ's wife ( but then hurting her kids is way more worse than hurting the women herself, so that's that.)
So that was all from my side, Idk why I went all funny after a certain point of time, maybe it was becuase I was watching a funny video before coming back to writing this, Idk𤣠Tell me what do you think and what do you want to see.
Cheers,
Shibani.
