Lo beheno, abhi se warning mil gayi hai. Abhi bahut saare kaand hone waale hai iss Mahabharat me, so the viewer's discretion is advised. Kyunki Maya ab rukne se rahi.🤔
MayRa connection - So I know that everyone feels that Rudra deserves better and MayRa shouldn't happen, but certain things cannot be avoided or ignored, certain things are meant to happen. Maya is meant to meet her end for love and not vengeance, which is the only silver lining for the road she has chosen for herself. Rudra is a Roy, he has no choice but to pay for the karma of his family and if he is strong enough, save them from that karma by sacrificing himself. Both are meant for each other - whether as lovers, or nemesis, but only Rudra can stop Maya and only Rudra can save Maya. Saving not from death but from her own darkness so that she can finally get her peace. Maya has no intention of living. She is already dead from within, with only pain, agony, and revenge in her heart. She is just bearing the burden of life as a corpse and she wants her peace, but not before annihilating Mrityunjay Roy and all those who stand by him. But she is wrong to think that her God has kept her alive for revenge. No, her God has kept her alive for her to see the end of her destroyer, but not before seeing what real love looks like and then pass on to a better place, where her pain ceases. Rudra is somewhere in a limbo, neither dead nor alive, he is just living aimlessly with volatile emotions. He has no regard for life. To embrace life and light, he has to lose himself to death and darkness - now whether he comes out alone or with Maya, is what we need to see. In short, both are a balance for each other. Maya is dark, but Rudra is light. In order to beat her darkness, he needs to take some of her darkness and give her some of his light and when their time truly comes, both merge into each other in a happy place, if any, that exists beyond this world.
Ananya's delusions - What a character these writers have turned her into. The one who used to claim that she isn't Rudra's pet is busy convincing herself that Rudra and Maya have become good friends. Firstly, the situation does not call for Ananya to ponder over Rudra being drawn to Maya. As his 'good friend', her first thought would be to see that Rudra is fine. This is exactly where the problem is. Ananya never was a good friend to Rudra. She knows him since childhood, yet she doesn't know him at all. Because for Ananya, Rudra has always been someone she will marry in the near future. He may be running away from her, but she is confident Rudra will come to her and no one else. If she was that great a friend to Rudra as she pictures herself to be, it should have been her lap where Rudra cries out his pain, not Mayas. Why doesn't Rudra share his pain with her? Why doesn't he talk to her about his issues and grievances? As I previously put it, Ananya does not listen to Rudra. Because if she did, it would mean she having to give up her childhood dreams. Her issue is her 'laalach'. Her greed to get married to Rudra is so big that is simply shutting her eyes to the fact screaming out to her - RUDRA DOES NOT LOVE HER AND NEVER WILL. Her greed is giving way to delusions that Rudra is friendly with Maya. Her delusions are making her blind to the fact that Rudra was in Maya's lap crying, that Rudra did not want to leave Maya and go home, that Rudra is feeling obligated to Maya to remind him of his duties as the son of the family. Oh man, oh man - this is going to be so destructive. Rudra ne stupidly propose to kar diya, but ye bhul gaya ke Ananya kabhi uski dost nahi ban sakti, kyunki woh usse pyaar karti hai. What appears to be normal to him isn't normal to her. She will always think as the 'lover' here and not 'friend'. And whatever happens henceforth, will only lead to a bitter fallout for both - because Rudra simply assumed that Ananya will always be his 'FRIEND' and Ananya in her delusions does not want to see that Rudra can never see her as his 'LOVER'.
Senior Mrs. Roy's foreboding - I had mentioned prior to Rishi's death, that he is the chain linking and binding all Roys together. Once he breaks, all the chinks in the Roy family will become visible. And that is what is happening. Rishi's demise is pulling out people from Mrityunjay's circle of trust. His mom was in the house for Rishi, and she did not want to remain there anymore. But her foreboding holds weight in the sense that she knows all the darkness Mrityunjay has within himself, and what he has done to keep that darkness hidden. It is that very dark love that consumed Rishi, and the dark love will destroy Rudra as well. But I think she is underestimating Rudra and overestimating Mrityunjay. Mrityunjay's love can only be combated by Rudra's love - because he will finally set Maya free through his love who is bound in the chains of darkness because of Mrityunjay's love.
Mrityunjay's & Rudra's mind - This man is the godfather of everything dark. He is cold, he is ruthless, and he understands what a dark mind can do. It was easy for him to deduce that all this hasn't been about Rishi, it is about something else which he cannot place his finger on. I think more than dialogues we need actions now from Mrityunjay. It is time to remind Maya also ki sher soa hua hai, mar nahi gaya hai. Rudra has the brain of a Roy when he actually is thinking and isn't overcome by emotions. He too gets thinking, that a zesty spirit like his brother cannot give up his life. And he is sure his girlfriend was there with him.
Both have deduced things correctly but for separate reasons. Mrityunjay wants to destroy that person who took his son, whereas Rudra wants to safeguard the person whom Rishi loved to death. Even though the face will be of Myraa, but actually it is Maya, whom one wants to rip apart and the other wants to protect.
Well, a good dark episode. That's it from me tonight. Please share your thoughts
Jodha Akbar
