Breaking stereotypes

It is still a very mellowed down version of a psychological thriller ..We as audiences just don't seem to have evolved enough to watch the protagonist as pure evil.. Maya is PURE EVIL😊 She is not grey or black with white polka dots here and there.. she is pure black, extreme in the spectrum of grey scale.. So many of us who want to see cute Arjun Maya romance with Samay and Saanjh as villains will be disappointed.. I am not
</font>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">This is the Beyhadh, I wanted to watch.. This is what I had signed up for.. This is how Maya is supposed to be. Not the playful cute psycho playing hide and seek with Vandana..that's fine for one episode but they dragged it to a point where even Jen's acting couldn't keep me hooked..</font>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">This Maya- cold and calculative gives the Amy Dunne vibes.. She had it all planned, even the DNA though I was laughing at the way Samay clipped off his nail and then plucked his hair.. Could have made it less obvious but they probably didn't want to go to much into the details there..</font>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">The bite marks, scratches and wounds were all inflicted... great scene that one- Both Jen and Piyush well done :)</font>

<font size="3" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Samay- now this guy is the Desi Collins in the story.. Hopelessly obsessed with Maya.. and his needs are as much physical as emotional.. The way he grabs her hand and starts kissing her when she's about to leave..very well enacted..again the last scene where he kisses her footprints and touches and feels the tissue that Maya had thrown away, shows how much he physically wants her..Samay's lust for Maya is very evident..For a second when Maya took off her robe in the godown, he looked hopeful ..He's desperate and Maya is right about him.. he wants to own her..he is obsessed with Maya just like Maya is with Arjun but there is a difference.. Maya, in her own twisted way thinks Arjun completes her and vice versa.. she believes only she can give him happiness.. like she told Samay when she was explaining what's love..</font>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">So now Maya is giving a chance to Arjun to ''accept'' her without ''cheating'' her.. If he fails to do so, he's dead and no one will be able to save him, not even Maya.. Samay will wait for that day.. That summed up the future track, phase 3 of beyhadh for me..</font>

<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"> Arjun in all probability will come to know about Maya's games sooner or later.. Samay can benefit from this so I won't be surprised if he helps Saanjh in getting to the root of all this, just so Arjun can turn against Maya and Maya against Arjun..</font>

Good post. Finally something is happening story wise.

Glad to see you making the first post. And forthe fact that the post is neutral and looks into character and being non judgemental.

Btw, why does Amy kill Desi in GG?Are we going to see Samay die and maya preggy and Arjun stuck with maya cause of the child?

I am happy that makers are staying true to the concept and not getting swayed by any fandom...I started watching this show for its unique concept ! it s supposed to be a dark thriller and i hope it stays the same till the very end.

Those who are saying that Maya's character got butchered or the CVs have lost it...Well this is how Maya was always supposed to be...A DARK COMPLEX CHARACTER who will cross all limits...CVs have not lost it..in fact this is what is called intelligent writing !

I am sure that the day Maya will think that Samay has become a liability or is a threat then she will throw her out of his life...She is simply using him...He might die at some point i guess.

Also even I feel that Maya in the end will pay for her crimes...She will not go unpunished like Gone Girl

Also phase 3 will be more dark i think and Maya will become darker...We might also see her in a full on revenge mode against Arjun and his loved ones as today she hinted that the day she finds out that Arjun doesn't love her then nobody will be able to save him not even Maya herself...So, we might see Maya's beyhadh hate towards Arjun and hr revenge against him and those who are close to him.

This is a psychological dark thriller which revolves around a dark complex character Maya and i really think it is a bold step by the makers to bring such a bold and unique concept !

Indian TV needs such shows like P.O.W. , Beyhadh etc. which push the boundaries ,break the rules and stereotypes and raise the standard of Indian TV with their unique , thought provoking , real and hard hitting concepts and some brilliant performances 😊

Beautiful post!

After keeping numerous loose ends finally makers have shown what Maya is. This is the first case where all manipulations of Maya are revealed. And yes she's a complete negative character after today.

But as u said Maya's love for Arjun is diff from Samay's love for Maya. Does it symbolise that Maya at the end will give Arjun his freedom, by giving up her life. Thats when the evil in her dies n she gets the much needed peace?
