Everyone's a Player - Theory and Analysis

Hello guys,

Saturdays are really boring with no IMMJ 2 episode. So last night, I bingewatched the show all over again, and after going back to the older episodes, a few things struck me.

First is Vansh.

I firmly believe that Vansh knows everything. He has always known Riddhima and Kabir are together. To understand this better, let's rewind a bit.

Vansh met Riddhima for the first time at the party, and then again at the cruise. Right from then, he had an inkling that she is upto something. Being an alleged white collar criminal, he is perhaps used to being spied upon. So he recognized Riddhima's body language at the very onset. He knew something was off with this girl. So, he sent Angre to investigate further.

In episode 3 or maybe 4, Angre went to Riddhima's hostel. Kabir is shown to have cleared up everything before his arrival, but there's a scene where Vansh gets a call from him. Vansh gets angry and says, Accha toh yeh sachhai hain iss ka...

My guess is...This is the point where Vansh found out that Riddhima and Kabir are together.

But he did not reveal it. He played along. He brought Riddhima to his house, trapped her inside, cutting off all connections with the outer world, while keeping an eye on her all the time.

He kept on prodding Riddhima about his fiance, because he knew. He was simply testing her.

Note how he talks about Shera's importance only when Riddhima is listening. Angre has been working with him for years now. Why does Vansh need to remind Angre how important Shera is, how it contains all his dealings? Obviously, Angre must be knowing. Vansh talks about Shera's importance and how it can destroy Vansh, probably because he knew Riddhima was eavesdropping. Very similar to that diary scene.

Perhaps even the beating up of the salesman because of the phone-tracking was staged too. To scare Riddhima. But what Vansh did not anticipate is that she would leave the mission behind. So, to stop her at any cost, he married her.

Post marriage, he asked Dsouza to get close to her, this is already revealed. He staged a fake murder of Saate so that Riddhima calls up Kabir. Even the diary thing was most likely staged too, which is very, very clear.

This is why, he keeps forgiving Riddhima everytime. Because her actions are not shocker for him. He knows what she is upto.

Now, the question is...if Vansh knows everything, why is he playing along?

This is where Vansh and Kabir's past comes into play. Maybe they are step-brothers or former friends. Each vowing for vengeance. This is the part that would be revealed in the upcoming episodes.

It is also possible, that while playing games, Vansh has begun to feel attracted to her. There was lust in his eyes when he saw Riddhima in that white dress.☺️

But he is no lovesick puppy at this point. So, while he wants her, he isn't trusting her, nor giving her a free pass.

-------

Next is, Riddhima. So far she seems to be a pawn, an innocent girl who has got stranded in the crossfire between two dangerous men.

But as someone made a post on it recently, it is possible, she too is playing. It is possible that Riddhima has her own agenda...maybe she is Ragini's sister...or some other connection...for which she is playing with BOTH Kabir and Vansh.

All her stupid mistakes...getting caught, etc are probably deliberately done to gain Vansh's trust.

The way Riddhima brings up Ragini at the right time to push Vansh's buttons...not a dumb chick. 😆

If Riddhima is a player too, then it is possible that she deliberately told Dsouza about Ragini's father because she knew the woman is working for Vansh.

I'd love Riddhima to be a player, but at this point, I think it is unlikely that she is one. At this point, I believe she is innocent. However, I am convinced Vansh knows about Ridhbir from the beginning.

Love the idea of vansh. Hes total badass and knows what's up. But I like riddu as she is. Inoccent. I think it would ruin the show if she was linked to ragini. I think a fresh love story would be nice. As we said kabir is manipulating riddu.

And also they all have their own motives

Riddu for kabirs love - stated in the promos

Kabir-no clue but its defo something personal

Vansh-capture the real culprit and protect his family.

I am saying Vansh is chess master from very start. His dialogues and expressions gave it away. Like Kabir hid under leaves. But during episode 35, he said something. '' patte hawa se ud jaate hai ''( leaves blow with wind ). Isn't it a hint? or Upcoming episode when Ridhbir had eyelock, i felt Vansh noticed!

Kabir . Kabir can be step bro, Anupriya's actual son and Siya's brother. Remember when he send Ridhima in cruise, siya created a stuation where her duptta got stuck between wheels. So Looked like a well coordinated plan by brother kabir and sis siya?

At same time, he can be friend turned rival. Now Vansh dad's death will be a big twist as daadi pointed out in upcoming episode. That Vansh know about killers etc, Is kabir involved and business rival?

Remember If Vansh is mafia, there are always other mafias who want big business. Kabir might be cop cum mafia

Another theory- Kabir loved ragini, but Vansh took her away. So to get revenge, he used ridhima to get back at Vansh one day, when they are in love, to give him same pain?

Regarding Ridhima-

Na i don't think she is a player. It is her journey from initial trailer. To start as naive orphan girl to become smart, when she gets played by 2 men for their goals. She has improved, but still make mistakes, because she is on strings played by Kabir. The day she gets broken, she will become really strong women.

Remember the 2 rounds and pheras. Vansh will be with her in sad times. Which can be her heart being broken moment.

The other Phera- She will be his shield from death.

A strong Ridhima finally emerges from her lowest, no more controlled by any man, taking her own decisions and finally become strong enough to survive in this world. This is actual ridhima. She is not evil. She is not a saint. She is an innocent girl who got dragged into mafia world. World of darkness.

She has to ace this game to survive in this world. That is what her story and character sketch is all about.

Remember, when you enter the world of mafia, your doors are closed forever. You have to survive as you can't escape. this is actual fact of mafia world in real as well. No police, Govt. stops big mafias! They can find you anywhere!

In the end Rdhima is getting played by both guys, but how she comes out of it will be her win, and her character sketch. And yes i agree Vansh feels for her.

The dialogues today emphasized on their relation anyways. They gonna deal with each other , no matter how much they play with each other, hurt each other.

But i think Grand master is Vansh!

Great post! I’ve always believed he’s known who she and who sent her. This man is cunning and extremely intelligent. It wouldn’t fit with the character sketch if he was being played by an amateur spy.

At this point I don’t think Riddhima is a player; just an naive girl who was manipulated by her cop boyfriend. The intention ( I hope) is to have her character undergo a metamorphosis. She shouldn’t loose her goodness or humanity but come to see things aren’t always always what they appear to be. People have varying shades of grey in them.

I do think Kabir loves Riddhima as much as he can love anyone. The problem is his obsession with Vansh is more important than his love and this is why it will cost him everything he has.

Great post. I agree right from onset he knew about Riddhima & Kabir... why marry her then? Combination to take her away from Kabir for betrayal with Ragini and Kabir was a key player and secondly he is attracted to Rhiddu from the outset..is he in love...no not yet..but he wants her for himself for sure now Kabir or no Kabir.

I agree with @B13aya, all in in for personal reasons and certainly all being played.

Is Rhiddu a mastermind player, for me right now no.. simply very blind and inept and not thinking at all.. I think she is Kabir's pawn who will come crashing down to earth and burn badly... lets see how she unfolds

I agree changing every character especially Female lead into player isn’t a good idea 🤔 it destroys show Ridima needs to realise where she is standing Kabir thing is getting annoying n boring now

The only saviour in the show is Vansh n his smart attitude twisting the game 👏 the character actually keeps you on the edge while watching episodes 👍🏼

ditto fresh lovestory of Riansh is more intriguing 👍🏼

I dnt think ridhima is going to be a master player...but there are chances kabir being linked to vansh...there may be possibility of being linked vansh's father murder...posssibility is there that kabir's father and vansh's father are friends....kabir's father is responsible for the death of vansh's father or vice versa...

Me too. Love the badass Vansh and innocent Riddhima. But let's see what the CVs have for us.

Vansh ko episode 1 me pata thi riddhu

And remember riddhu met kabir

Not from hostel room
