Maya: Protagonist? Antagonist? Lead?

Maya is not a protagonist. Not an antagonist.

She is THE only lead of the show tbh. Baaki all are supportinf characters. Story point of view mein tbh Maya is the main force and baaki sab are supporting.

But that doesn't mean she can't be a murderer just because she is the lead. Kaabil , Drishyam, Baazigar, Gupt, Darr, etc mein leads are murderers. Leads are not defined by moral grounds in a movie. Leads are those because of whom the story moves tbh. Leads are those without whom the show/movie is absolutely nothing.

And thus, Maya is the lead of the show. The lead.

Not even without considering or debating whether she is right or wrong, it is a fact that Maya is the lead. She may be right. She may be wrongg. She may take the Kaabil way or the Gupt way. But she is the lead. That my friends is a fact.

Arjun, Ashwin, Saanjh, Vandana are the Johns and Mycrofts and Lestrades.

But no matter what the morality is - but Maya is the sherlock of this show.

(NOT to be confused with the science of deduction and all. I'm just speaking about the screenspace)

And honestly I don't even care what Maya's moral is. I love her. I love Arjun, and Sanjh and even Ashwin (okay not the child abuser part- but the way the have shaped up an antagonist- I mean y'all hate him- that is the success of the writing team. They've written it so aptly and Rajesh's acting too- that everyone loathes the character. And honestly what is Beyhadh without Maya and Ashwin's ratrace)

I love the show itself. And i dont give a flying f**k as to who ends up with whom or who gets killed as long as the story is dope.

Also, upar likha stuff is my views. Kisi ko problem hai toh can't help. But kuch aur POV hai toh feel free to comment.
