Review: Episode 7 - The game begins now

Mrs. Srivastava's uncanny prediction - I must say I didn't expect this or maybe I did. I didn't expect this to come from her. That makes more sense. Mrs. Srivastava is a smart person and knows how to deal with people, but at the same time, just like Aanchal, she has a preconceived notion in her mind about rich people. Though it may not be completely wrong. She said that Ranvir offered the job so that people could say she did all this for publicity. In the end and based on promos, what if that's true?Aanchal takes the job. She ends up becoming quite successful and well known. Then she gets trapped by Ranvir in a false accusation, one that destroys the very trust and reputation she's built up. That explains the "haq" she wants to attain. Sounds cliched, but it is something that I wouldn't put past Ranvir. He uses people, but not for immediate gratification. Instead he plans and plots and calculates. His mind is running ahead of the present. And so this makes sense.

The childish games - Kabir is impulsive and so his games are childish. Where Ranvir doesn't need immediate gratification, Kabir likes things now. At the same time, these childish games are the reason that Ranvir and Aanchal will come closer together and then fall apart. Aanchal is wrong about one thing though. She thinks Kabir doesn't have a brain, but he does. He's just as smart as Ranvir, if not smarter. The problem is that he doesn't take time to think out plans and calculate gains and losses and understand the future of his plans. He just acts. Ranvir is a think before act type of guy, while Kabir is an act before think or think while acting type guy. What I'm liking most here is that Aanchal is underestimating Kabir, which she shouldn't be doing because someone like Kabir can be the biggest surprise of all.

Aanchal's entry into Raichand Villa - On one side Sarika is praying that Durga Maa should only bring good into Ranvir's life and that the bad will come, but she'll take care of it, and on the other side, Aanchal enters. She drives in as Sarika talks about the buri nazar and enters the house as Sarika talks about only good entering Ranvir's life. In a way this is a good play on words and the situation. We all know that Aanchal is a grey character, but appears good. In a way she was the buri nazar for Ranvir when she accused him of rape and murder, but now she's the achi nazar if she begins working with Ranvir. But is she going to be good or bad only time will tell. Sarika has every right to be angry, but she needs to talk this lens of hatred off her eyes if she's going to see Aanchal and understand her moves and save Ranvir in the coming days.

Ranvir falling for Aanchal - Puhlease. This is too fast and too obvious. How do you fall in love with the girl who accused you of something without sufficient proof? Who came after you just because you are rich a guy and she has preconceived notions about rich people? But at the same time his dialogue to Sarika that he'll open another door that doesn't open in her angaan for Aanchal is a foreshadow of sorts. Somewhere down the line, Aanchal will create a big divide between Ranvir, and Sarika and Kabir. It's like I said yesterday, the cracks have begun. But are they just for show or real remains to be seen.

The mind game - Aanchal accepted the job. That was obvious. But she has a deeper plan to it. She's accepted this job because she wants to get to know the Raichands better and find something. Is still on the Meenu case? Possibly. Like I said that confession was too convenient. It covered everything. And without fire there's no smoke. So if Ranvir was accused there has to be something to it. Maybe he didn't rape and murder Meenu, but maybe he had a hand in something that happened around Meenu. And the case and confession being so tight leads to suspicions on Kabir. Yet I don't think Aanchal is just there for the Meenu case. That's a drop in the ocean compared to what dirt Aanchal can dig up.

Gaurav Raichand - He seems to be one of those run-of-the-mill villains. If Ranvir has put Aanchal over Gaurav, then it means that Ranvir does not trust Gaurav. He put Aanchal there because he wants to curb Gaurav and whatever plans he has in mind. The alternative though ties into what I said above about Aanchal being used and then dumped. Maybe Aanchal has been put there so that Gaurav can be saved. Every mistake that Gaurav has made can be put on Aanchal and then she can be unceremoniously kicked out. Why else would you take a project away from someone whose been working on it for 6 months and give it to a newbie? Just as a challenge? No. I don't think so.

The photo frame - The fact that they ended on the photo frame gives it importance here. It's a fun picture of two brothers. Two very close-knit brothers. And Kabir makes the first move to break it. But notice that the only thing that happens is that the picture separates from the frame. The picture remains untouched though. That's symbolic. It means that in the future, Kabir will make a move that may look, on the surface, to break the two apart, but these brothers are inseparable and all the move will do is create a rift for a bit. A ploy to make it seem like a rift, but in reality both will be working together or at least working towards the same goal.

Well
It is pretty obvious that Ranvir is not smitten by Anchal but simply is planning and plotting against her...He will use her for his own purpose

Same goes for Anchal, she will not fall in love with Ranvir.

Both will try to use each other before either of the two or both will fall in love

Ranveer definitely is involved in Meenu murder and rape case...to what extent remains to be see.

It is obvious that Anchal has joined Ranvir so that she can gather clues against him in Meenu's case while Ranvir may have hired her to put the blame of some scam or something on her...Both of them will be playing mind games with each other.

It will be interesting to see who will fall in love first and with whom 😆

I think Anchal underestimates both bros. Remember she said that she doesn't care about Ranvir's threat...she would have called the entire police department if it was Kabir in place of Ranvir who made the threat !

What Anchal doesn't realise is that Kabir's threats are open while Ranvir is far more dangerous than him, she will not even realize when Ranvir will play his game and defeat her.

I also think that Ranvir expresses his emotions and true feelings not by words or expressions but by his art be it by playing his harmonica or through his paintings !

His painting of mother and child was very interesting and caught my attention...I have a hunch that Sarika is not his real mom and she wants him out of the way and Ranvir might be aware about this.

Let's see how the story will progress.

Making a post after a long time... This show has been pretty interesting especially the last 2 episodes.
I noticed a few things in today's episode.

The color matching of Aanchal and Kabir in the banner, the first episode and so on. I strongly feel Ranvir is negative and Kabir is good. The game is all about whose side Kabir will move to... that is what would tilt the balance.

In the study the picture of the Mother and Child stuck me... the child in the picture has an alert look and is looking away from the mother who seems normal. What could that mean? That Ranvir is not all that close to his mother as he portrays? Is he really their child? The child's eyes in particular stuck me. Don't have answers to these questions... but felt that the picture had something to say. And Aanchal was absorbed in it before RR grabbed her attention.

Special mention to Nikki's performance. She sure has taken the Sumo out of her current character viz body language and dialogue delivery. That is impressive.

Love your posts Athene... kind of read all your posts in this forum. You take this story as a thriller and not as a candy floss romance... not that we do not take the liberty to dream about Kabir Aanchal Ranvir 😉... just that... this show goes way beyond these as well.

I really really hope that none of the bros is 'bad' / 'negative' ..I hate when characters turn pure dark or pure white...i prefer grey

Vatsal has already mentioned in the interviews that he is playing a positive character which leaves Ranvir's character who either will be grey which i personally want or dark (which is quite possible since Kabir is positive)

I hope all 3 are grey

@ Poppinss: Thank you. 😳 I think it's too early for romance. The other show I follow so closely is RKC and even there romance is in the air, but it's too early for it. It's being developed at a good pace. Here I hope the same happens because I hate shows that rush the romance just to get TRPs.

@ Both: I noticed that about the painting as well, but I didn't feel ready to comment on it because I want to see a few more of Ranvir's paintings to get an understanding of the theme behind his paintings. This one is of an alert child and a loving mother. But the child appears distant from his mother even though they are hugging. It might signify that Ranvir isn't Sarika's real child, but I have a feeling that what you said Poppinss is probably more right. Even in the first episode I commented on this. The way Ranvir said "kisi ko toh mere se phaida ho" to Sarika sounded like a subtle sarcastic. At that time I wasn't sure if it was Zayed's delivery or the dialogue was actually like that, but even then I had felt that the 2 aren't as close as they make it appear. Sarika loves Ranvir a lot, but somewhere she's using him as well. And maybe it isn't love, but just a possessiveness to ensure that nothing happens to Ranvir until her motive with him is fulfilled.

Anshvi if I'm not mistaken Vatsal had said his character in Baazigar is an out and out villain that you'll love to hate, but in the end the CVs made him a positive character with a twist. Yes they destroyed that show in a bid to finish it with a happy ending, but still I wouldn't believe everything stars say. Vatsal is saying his character is positive, but it could be a grey character with more streaks of positive than negative. Again I apologize for comparing, but in RKC Satrupa is a grey character, but with more positive streaks than negative. Even when she does something illegal, you can understand her reasoning behind it and support her. What I'm trying to say is that positive doesn't have to mean that he'll always do the right thing or we'll always love him. Similarly with Ranvir. I have a feeling he's grey with more streaks of negative in the sense that he's very calculative and emotionless. But that doesn't mean that he's all bad. I just hope the CVs don't simplify things in the hope of getting better TRPs or appealing to one set of fans (no bashing intended).

Yes i really hope all 3 are grey indeed...I won't even mind a scenario where both bros unite against Anchal in the end...that would be cool and unexpected

I just don't want the cliche love triangle where one bro is negative and one is positive and both are fighting for the girl...that is too cliche for my liking.

Vatsal said he is playing a positive character...he didn't even say grey while Zayed said that people will either love to hate him or hate to love him which means viewers will have extreme reactions to his character which clearly means that he will be grey (as u said more negative traits than positive) or dark

My apprehension is that there are very few makers who know how to write and present grey characters...it's either positive or negative in most of the cases

In Beyhadh Maya started off as a grey character , very complex but as the show progressed she became completely negative.

In RKC I don't think Satrupa is completely grey (like u said more positive traits than negative) especially now when they have brought Sudha who seems to be completely negative and in her comparison Satrupa looks like an angel 😆

Well I really hope makers will not take the cliche way by turning one brother out and out negative.

Even I think that the painting suggested that Ranvir is not Sarika's son as i have already mentioned...In fact Sarika might be planning against him to throw him out of her way and Ranvir might be aware about the whole thing

Let's see

Ranvir is defo up to something. Ranvir doesn't seem like the kind of guy to fall for a girl so easily, and so hard, especially because he is so calculative and business-minded, that showing him falling for the girl that tried to have him tried for rape and murder, offering her a big job in his company, then even removing his own cousin from a big project and position to give to her seems highly unconvincing. There is something fishy about this Mauritius trip and project.

I think Anchal is overconfident because of her initial success. She probably feels that the Raichands are falling into her trap.
Her dialogue with her brother about there being two gundas and one gundi in the house and how it would be to become a part of the family is...well...maybe the conclusion of her plan? She plans to become a part of the family?
I think it's clear after today's episode that Anchal and Ranvir are the endgame.
I don't know about the PhotoFrame (of the brothers) though. Are we seeing too much and in the process seeing something that isn't there?
I mean, your analysis seems too deep. Do you think the CVs would have put in so much thought behind that one scene? I doubt.

@ Anshvi: Ugh I hope CVs never go that cliched route. That would be utterly disappointing not to mention a good motive for me to leave the show right then and there. I don't mind if they show that as an act the brothers put on albeit we know its an act. True, but if you look at Satrupa, she openly killed those that attempted to kill Vatsalya, threatened another goon, use her power and position to force Anami to come with her, and so much more. She's positive, but she has done negative things. Similarly, Kabir kidnapped Aanchal, overtly threatened her, and is playing these childish games with her. I won't say negative, but no positive character is a brat. Kabir is a brat and that makes him slightly grey.

@ sammy17: Yes. The Mauritius project and this Butterfarm thing that they kept harping about. Both seem important and seem to tie into Aanchal somehow.

@ PremKarpo: Maybe I am reading too much into the picture frame. I seem to have developed this sense of looking for the hidden messages in these types of shows and sometimes I do end up reading too much into things. But the fact that they ended it on the broken picture frame also makes me feel that there's something behind it and with Kabir saying that "yeh ladki hume badi problem karegi bade", there's something there definitely.

Why does kabeer keep on saying Yeh ladki humaare beech aayegi.
Just giving a job to an unwanted person never creates a rift of this extent between brothers. One might get angry but a permanent rift of the sort kabir is predicting - never.

Then why? Is kabir sensing something that we as viewers are not and will be shown in subsequent episodes?

Aanchal's walk back when she makes fun of kabir in the water tank scene was deliberately seductive. On top of it why is kabir giving so much personal attention to her like a kid? He need not, he can easily hire goons for the job. Somewhere along the line his behaviour is also attention seeking from aanchal.

It would seem very improbable that both brothers have fallen in love at first sight with the female who dragged them through mud. But a strong attraction and a sub conscious desire to possess and be acknowledged?

Could it be operating in Kabirs case and he can also anticipate that ranveer is out to destroy aanchal and so is trying to prevent it?
