Today's episode was one of the best by far. The development of the characters has been impressive so far. Ranvir has been enigmatic to me from day one without any doubt. The way he speaks, his smirks, his silence- everything is mysterious and that clearly shows how calculative he is. When the promo arrived where Kabir proposes to Aanchal, there was a scene at the end when Ranvir was tapping his forehead by his knuckles. I had a tiny doubt in my mind that from that very moment he was planning something to make sure that Aanchal becomes his only. The reason of my doubt was his interactions with Aanchal. Every time, his eyes contained intense passion and I could feel he couldn't let go of those feelings so easily. It was confirmed when he said to Kabir very seriously when they were together in the pool. He said- "Nor everything can be shared. He was very clear he would not share Aanchal (Let go of her) even if it was his beloved brother Kabir.
And it turns out, the case was exactly that. He has been planning and setting up this game from the moment he had that video call with Kabir where Kabir introduced Aanchal as his future wife. Aanchal observerd him well from the very beginning. He was not a mere player. He was everything. In the game, he was the one who set up the game, the goal and the rules. He was the referee. He was the ultimate player as well. He would just sit back and relax when the other players made their moves until he makes the untimate move which completely makes the others dumbfounded (including us 😆) and then emerge as the winner. Aanchal was right. He wins the game before it even starts. And everyone plays according to his plans. He knows which strings to pull and when.
These things are bound to make him look negative. And also in today's episode, some of his behaviors (even his bg) was a bit psychotic. But he looks this way only because he is so calculative. Kabir has grey shades too. And he too has done many things which was wrong. But he doesn't seem that evil easily because he is impulsive.
Ranvir surely has a dark side. He has his inner demons. And he has become obsessed with Aanchal. But whatever he does, he has a reason for it. I love the bond between the Raichand brothers and I don't think he will ever harm Kabir. Yes, he is clearly going to hurt him emotionally by taking away Aanchal. But he loves his brother a lot undoubtedly. That's why he said "Ek jaan ke liye dusri jaan nehi li jaati Kabir. Kabir is his Jaan and so is Aanchal. And he wants to claim her as his only. But he doesn't want to hurt his brother in the process. If it was anyone other than Kabir, then he would have pulled the trigger of his gun and would have killed the person then and there.
At some point, Kabir will come to know that it was all Ranvir's trick, probably when Aanchal starts falling for Ranvir. In the first promo of Haasil, Kabir was shown knocking over a table which had magazines and probably newspapers on it- all related to Ranvir (probably about how successful he was). Ranvir clearly said that he would never be able to hate Kabir. No matter whatever he does. But Kabir at some point will definitely start hating him.
Aanchal seems predictable but she is sometimes totally the opposite. Only time will show how she evolves.
So far, in my opinion, there is nothing cliche about this show. If you pick up bits of the storyline then of course you are bound to find it cliche. Because, an entirely original concept is surreal and expecting that will be foolish. I am not disappointed with the storyline at all. I started watching Haasil because of Nikita and also because of the story. So, I'm gonna see where this goes.
I am an Aanvir fan. A hopeless one. And obviously I didn't like the episodes based on Aanchal and Kabir. And it's very normal for AanBir fans to not like AanVir based Episodes. But no matter whichever couple we ship, we have to pay respect to the fact that this is a love triangle and both the sides deserve equal treatment. It's only fair.
So, back to Ranvir, I have never seen such a phenomenal male lead. The things I love about him are endless. I fell for him a long time ago. He is not perfect but I am ok with him being flawed. I remember the scene when he defended Aanchal in front of his mother in such a beautiful way. All the male characters I have seen so far, would either humiliate their mothers in the process or just be a bystander and not defend his love interest at all or take the side of his mother and support her rather than the girl. But when it comes to Ranvir, he politely made his mother understand that her teaching was only successful when he learned to choose the right side rather than getting biased. In that same episode, he gave Gaurav a cold threat that if he dared to harm Aanchal in any way, he would have to face consequences. And he did. Bingo! The moment Ranvir got to know that the murder attempt was on Aanchal and that Gaurav could potentially be the culprit, his expression hinted that he would find him and kill him. And he did!
He is the master manipulator. And honestly, I don't mind at all. I was ROFLing when I saw him giving money to the Pandit in the precap. When the kundli dosh thing was declared by the Pandit, his subtle smirk sparked another tiny doubt in my mind but still I couldn't let my suspicion grow. Damn Ranvir Raichand! You fooled us all! And I love you! Can I just say please marry me? 🤣
Sorry if I bored you with this long post. There are a lot of things to say. But I'm really glad that we got Haasil and of course Ranvir Raichand 😉
