Ep 39: Khoon ka asli rang dikh to gaya, par kab tak?

So, I am back! (In Koffee with Karan, KJO Style😆), kyunki khoon ki holi aur raite ki rangoli jo phailayi hai, uske baad I think I need a lot of caffeine to digest the episode. Anyway, after a long time, I will get to analyze 3 main characters of the show - Mrityunjay, Maya, and Rudra, because it was all about them this episode. Baaki saare characters were fillers. Apart from that, it has been reinforced again tonight that this show is and will be dark and we have to take it as it is and expect no morality or conscience here. This is a war. For Maya, it is revenge for Mrityunjay it is to protect his family from his karma. So there will be deaths, murders, killings. Mrityunjay kills people without blinking an eyelid, and without remorse. So to tackle someone like him, there is no choice but to be like him. But how Mrityunjay and Maya deal with their conscience is something to watch. Both are killers, both are players, but still, both are different. This war is like a chessboard with Mrityunjay's pawns or rather faces being - Aamir, Antara, Diya, Ankit, Rishi and Maya's faces being Rajiv and Myra. Both have been striking at each other. Maya's blow eliminated Rishi which was in counter to Mrityunjay's blow on Maya's child. Mrityunjay retaliates by eliminating Maya's one face - Mayra. And this is how it will be going henceforth. So brace yourselves people. On that note, here it goes.

Maya - It is shown time and again that whenever Maya allows emotions to get the better of her, either it compromises her identity or it leads to the loss of someone she cares for. And that is what happened. Myra lost her life in an attempt to safeguard Maya. For Maya, that bloodshed is on her. When she sheds blood for justice it's okay, but she doesn't want to push anyone down that road, not even Myra. Maya is dead. She lost enough in life that she died. She is a breathing death to bring death to someone else. But still, within her there are rays of hope that maybe, just maybe she can have a chance at happiness. And each time, Mrityunjay in the face of Ankit or Rudra just quashes those hopes. And pushes her on the path of destruction and vengeance. But every incident has a silver lining. Myra's death will probably turn out to be the much-needed push Maya needs to face her fear and her nemesis - Mrityunjay. Because without facing him, she isn't winning this battle. Maya cannot tolerate any loss anymore, not of people she cares for. So she needs to come to the forefront. Show some skilled badassery that even Mrityunjay hakka bakka reh jaaye. Secondly, it is just my thought but CVs should consider making Maya, Mrityunjay's friend and not enemy. Rudra maybe her access pass in Roy house, but her main target is Mrityunjay. Dushmani ke aad me dosti hi pairon tale zameen khiskati hai. In fact, she should isolate him and kill him. Similar to what Shakuni did with the Kuru clan. She should pit family and brethren against each other and watch the fun. And if need be, kill whoever messes with her plans. One more bonus is, now the way she melts into a puddle at Rudra's advances will be kaput for a while which will just fan the fire in Rudra to pursue her fervently. ☺️

Rudra - Rudra is an extremist. He hates and loves with extreme passion. And that can be a strength and weakness also. I don't know whether it's silly or stupid, but itni hi thi uski nafrat? Matlab, itne me hi uski saari nafrat bhaag chuthi? I am just trying to understand here is Mrityunjay was not shot so bad that he lands up in ICU in the first place, and here he is melting like a puddle for Mrityunjay. Anyway, as I had mentioned previously, Rudra hates Mrityunjay Roy, not his father. He still loves his father and that is what resurfaced tonight with him getting shot. But the way it was executed, Rudra's beyhadh nafrat just got watered down to ek hormonal teenager's beyhadh gussa to me.🤔 Mrityunjay did not do something to be forgotten or forgiven easily, and one bullet in his body just undid everything? If the CVs show that Rudra has mellowed down a little, but not forgotten everything then his stand would have been believable, but now it has been ruined. For me, it is another dent in his character. But there is a silver lining here too. With Mrityunjay sealing his victory of bringing Rudra onto his side, he actually unlocked that side of Rudra which used to love passionately and did not hate 'love'. So now that he has forgiven Mrityunjay, it will not take too long to embrace his feelings for Maya either. And then we have to watch out for "passionate-wala, possessive-wala, junoon-wala"❤️ Rudra pursuing Maya, and Maya trying with all her might to escape his advances, but he will not lose in love to Maya. Watch out Maya for tempestuous Rudra coming your way.

Mrityunjay - Ye sirf Rudra and Rishi ka hi nahi, sabka baap hai. Kitni nafasat se planning ki hai that Rudra bina kisi struggle, jhagda ya gusse ke aa gaya uske lapete me. So cleanly he turned an act of murder into an act of self-defense. Brilliant MJ👏. I have to give it to you for that. That is why it is so necessary for Maya to come to the forefront. Battling from the shadows is not enough to battle him. Maya has to come to the devil's lair to get even. This man did not lift a finger apart from shooting Myra, and saari support iske taraf chali gayi. Maya you seriously need to buck up. Koi option nahi hai tumhare paas. Apart from that Rudra going all the way to Hrishikesh to pursue Maya does not sound like only his thinking. Mrityunjay loves his son, however, he does, but he does. I think somewhere Mrityunjay will push Rudra to go get his girl because Roys don't lose. And if I think from Mrityunjay's POV, he must have thought - its Maya Jaisingh, an accomplished, classy, sophisticated and rich author cum businesswoman - uske ghar ke barabari ki hai, then why not. But wait till he sees who Maya Jaisingh is. Let's see how he reacts then.

MayRa - Myra ke death se Mayra ke equation pe raita phail gaya. The problem here is Rudra's faith in Maya became stronger, but Maya's faith in him just shattered then and there, when she saw Mrityunjay Roy's son and not Rudra. Maya saw a bit of herself in Rudra, someone who has been shattered by love and by his own. Someone who lost his baby brother. She saw a kindred spirit in Rudra. Her sympathy turned into empathy, which was almost on the verge of blooming into love, but it got nipped in the bud. Rudra's sudden outburst of emotions for his "Dad" pushed Maya back to where she was before - in darkness. Her ray of hope just diminished then and there. But Maya, it was rather silly of you to assume that Rudra would feel sorry for a stranger Myra and not pain for his brother and father. I mean come on. With Rudra, he has found his soulmate in Maya. He is addicted to her presence, her care, her support. The fact that she chooses him over anything or anyone is what he finds attractive in her. Whatever he asks of her, she gives it to him. He wants her to choose him every time, and he is waiting for her to choose him. Unfortunately, he blew it up himself unintentionally. But I feel something is going to happen which will push him to take matter into his own hands - I want to know what that is.

Well, that is from me for tonight. Let's hear yours!

From the start of the show it has followed this pattern.. of one blow after another from Maya followed by MJ back with Rudra in the centre of this..

When Maya battered antara.. MJ attacked Rajiv.. followed by Maya again attacked back through Rudra and MJ attacked back through ankit..she attacked rishi and now she has been pinned down by myra death..

Amidst this grew a different equation of Rudra for Maya. with attach on antara grew Rudra trust on maya, with attack on MJ for his company grew their support for one another and the kiss and attack on rishi grew their emotional connect..

On the contrary for Maya.. Rudra fought for her when Rajiv was attacked..it made her trust him.. when she was attacked by ankit, rudra came to her with his feelings which made Maya mellow down to him and even stretch her hand out and then when rishi was killed, she understood his pain and became his friend and let go of her physical inhibitions around him..

MayRa equation has grown in every adverse moments.. it will keep going to and fro for Maya but for Rudra it's a upward curve only.. tomo he might come and thank her and hug her saying that her prayers helped..

Like u said getting back with MJ will MJ Rudra free of his past and his issues with love and he will openly pursue it for Maya now.. Myra taking death on herself because she saw the ray of hope and love in Rudra and she took the darkness upon her for Maya to be embrace the light.. myra died like abhimanyu but that saved the war for pandavas to fight harder..

But for this war to surface, Maya has to come face to face to MJ.. and like u said possibility is that MJ himself sends Rudra to pursue Maya.. and he will get beaten in his own game when he sees who Maya is.. but is marriage all that's gonna happen in rishikesh or there will be more to a visit that far is yet to see..

@libran- love reading your views... Mayra's lil cameo has unsettled a lot of equations.. I haven't watched the episode so I dunno.. Has Rudra forgiven his dad for that incident or the care and concern is only because of his health? As the eldest, actually their only son, it makes sense if he puts his grudge aside and stands with his parents at this hour of crisis.. but actually forgiving him for what he did is a little hard to believe. Anyway, besides MJ-Rudra equation, Maya-Rudra equation also took a blow as expected.. Maya was banking on Rudra's hatred for MJ as a potent weapon in her war against MJ and now she has lost it, besides another loved one Mayra.. But this was coming really.. the way things were going between Maya Rudra, a roadblock was bound to come and this one is gonna decide the course of her next move.. She can no longer use Rudra to attack MJ so she has to go for the kill.. and for that she has to come out of the shadows.. high time! I agree with you, I think now that father and son are starting fresh, MJ will try everything possible to make up for what he did 10 years back.. and what better way than allowing Rudra to marry the girl he loves.. The way Rudra is around Ananya, it won't be long before MJ realizes that he is not in love with her.. infact he had sensed it the day they announced their engagement..You are right.. Rudra had a huge baggage.. now that the weight has lifted off his chest, he will feel liberated and open to love.. Maya madam in all probability will play hard to get as part of her plan and run off to Rishikesh.. and MJ's ''jaa beta jaa ji le apni zindagi'' emotion is gonna come back and bite him in his ass 🤣

omg brilliant analysis

and this is the type of analysis and thought we need for show

noone is right and wrong its a war

even they play mahabharta tune

and noone is wrong or right and we have to see everything fromcharacter pov and whom he or she will choose according to their thoughts love or selfishness

and wait maya will have more on her side and even kinnar and might be more stranger will come because her good deeds and mj bad dees have many more faces

especially i feel that sultan is ging to be on side of maya thats why he has been given black colour

and what i have seen god actually is pushing maya for revenge everytime everytime she feels like to have something she is pushed

anyway here we cant see or hate character be it ananya or rishi or anyone

here everyone will choose side even we viewers i feel but there is no need to hate

and here there is no justificating as in war there is no justification

sides are chosen not just on basis of right or wrong blood relation or not

they are choosen on many factor even after knowing one is wrong someone chooses that side due to their thinking like in mahabharta bhism did

and many more thing

likewise ananyaa or rudra or anyone will choose side according to their pov which will not have any moral value and right or wrong

and i will not blame them or say they r wrong or negative as they r doing according to their pov and mind

everything should be seen from character pov be it anyone

and once again brilliant post worth reading and exactly according to serial

Another day, another episode and me still wondering what is happening. Everything in this show apart from Mayra is so weird that I don't even bother to think. For me only mayra exists

Their equation took a blow today but not all hope is lost. Something needed to shakeup maya and I suppose this is it. It was still silly of her to expect Rudra to hate his father completely, not everyone can be filled with vitriolic hate like her. That is a good thing.

Maya can preach about blood showing its ugly self but Rudra is still Rudra at his core. She still melts at his touch and she still desires him. That will not change because Rudra suddenly loves his father again. They are both emotionally dependent on eachother and a slight jerk, pushes them closer. Good luck to maya for trying to overcome that pull and killing him

Thanks @MistyDawn😊

Yes, in the precap of the following episode, Rudra is like phut phut ke rona on Mrityunjay's chest. I mean seriously? Kuch din pehle tak he had such tall claims of hatred, and ek din me phus. I understand if he would mellow down a little after the incident seeing that Mrityunjay was right after all about Rishi's gf, and also if he stands by his family, its the right thing to do. But the reaction that came was such a letdown. As I said his "beyhadh nafrat" has been reduced to " a hormonal teen's beyhadh gussa". It holds no water anymore and Maya just overestimated his anger to be his hatred for Mrityunjay. Turns out he isn't that strong weapon she assumed Rudra would be. So now the plan should change, but she only is stuck on killing him and all.

Arre Maya didi, maarna hai to tadpa tadpa ke marne do Roy khandaan ko, jaise Shakuni ne kiya tha Mahabharat me. Arre kuch to akal lagao, agar akal nahi lagta to Geeta ke shlok padlo aur prerna lo. Aajkal Geeta ke shlok band ho gaye hai na, isiliye saare plans flopshow ho rahe hai aapke.🤣

Rudra ka baggage ko hatane ke liye hi shayad ye sab kiya ho. Kyunki after this, Maya will not pursue Rudra. She will in fact avoid him or play hard-to-get as you said. Rudra bhaiya has a tough road ahead.

Honestly, I have been in 2 minds about the show. That is because, on one hand, I want Maya's victory but without her turning into a killer. On the other hand, I should be more open-minded about deep dark thrillers where no one is who they are and are capable of going dark and bad. So then I accepted, every show does not need a happy ending and romance in dark thrillers can also be enjoyed that way.

MayRa romance can be enjoyed without expecting a hunky-dory ending. They will have a passionate and intense love affair and marriage and we can enjoy it while it lasts. After all its a fictional show. Similarly, Beyhadh is not about the battle between good and evil. It is the battle between bad and very bad. Sometimes to win over very bad people, we need bad people to fight them. Because here between bad and very bad, bad is the new good.

Going by what Krishna says, Dharma's definition is mostly perspective based. Dharma says not to kill people by deceit, but what is adharma to some is dharma for some. Hence, Bhishma, Drona, Karna were all tricked to death, because that was dharma. Krishna also says that nowhere it is written that to establish truth and right, one has to take the right way as well.

Honestly, if you ask me, for a thriller, Beyhadh is moving at too fast a pace than I would like to see. And since the beginning, the characters have also been changing. Like Ananya, and now even Rudra. Their changes are mostly triggered by situations in the show. The only two consistent people are Mrityunjay and Maya. And once they are under one roof, we will witness more shades to their relationship. They are actually the Krishna vs Shakuni here, to be honest. Would like to see more of them.

Their equation took a blow today but not all hope is lost. Something needed to shakeup maya and I suppose this is it. It was still silly of her to expect Rudra to hate his father completely, not everyone can be filled with vitriolic hate like her. That is a good thing.

Exactly, after all, hai to baap hi na. He does not hate his father is something I always felt. He hates Mrityunjay Roy. Both may be the same person, but different individuals. Rudra's emotional outburst was understandable because he lost his brother, was on the verge of losing his father and then father took a bullet for him, so I get it. Maya was behaving as Rudra did in the initial episodes with Ananya, "Tu meri dost hai Anu, tu unki side kaise le sakti hai" types. And the reaction by Rudra was for Myra, whom he did not know at all. But Maya is different - Maya is his love, his obsession, his addiction, his desire, his need, his want. He may be angry, but not angry enough to kill her or hurt her. He mouthed some similar killing dialogues for Mrityunjay also. And we saw what happened in the aftermath, so I would just not judge Rudra's reaction, based on Myra.

Maya can preach about blood showing its ugly self but Rudra is still Rudra at his core. She still melts at his touch and she still desires him. That will not change because Rudra suddenly loves his father again. They are both emotionally dependent on each other and a slight jerk pushes them closer. Good luck to Maya for trying to overcome that pull and killing him

As I said, Maya's reaction was less of fury and more disappointment. It was like mentally Rudra had betrayed her by siding with Mrityunjay. Like he belongs to her, and he has to support her, which is very similar to Rudra. She was hurt, more than angry. She may hide that for some time, but not for long. After marriage, she has to stay with him only, how will she run from him then, huh?😉

Good post.for me rudra is driven by antara.today antara drove guilt in him.add to that Myra telling she killed rishi.rudra can't forgive his bro killer.Maya can never expect that. For rudra mj face off to happen something strong has to come.for that Maya has to enter the den.

Thanks @sruthiravi😊

Antara herself is a crappy character.🤢 She deludes herself into believing that Mrityunjay loves her. How can it be possible? She needs therapy honestly. More than anyone else. Her blind love for Mrityunjay drove her to make Rudra feel guilty, who is sufficiently feeling guilty already. Additionally, what has she given Rudra ever, apart from disheartening him or shunning him? She has always disregarded Rudra for Mrityunjay. She never chose her son over her husband. Arre, iss aurat ne khud ko hi kabhi nahi chuna, to Rudra bahut dur ki baat hai.

Whatever Rudra said was his reaction to Myra. Based on that I would hold my judgment on Maya, post coming to know the truth. And yes, Maya needs to change the course of action. Rudra's hate for Mrityunjay was the weapon Maya was banking on. But that went poof because of Myra. Now, the only weapon she can use is love - Rudra's love for her which can only safeguard her against the Roys. This goes onto also highlight that not hate, but love will help her win this war and give her the peace which she is setting out to get from her victory.
