Maya Rudra Roy - The White Swan & The Black Swan

Hi!

I am not sure how many of you have seen the film 'Black Swan' , but I have always found it a very riveting and intriguing journey into the human mind and human emotions. Nina, the protagonist was a supremely talented ballet dancer , pure as snow, innocent, nervous, under confident , stuttering-ly ambitious , believing she deserves what she wants but never having the guts to ask for it- she wants to play both the white swan and the black swan in a play. Her instructor Thomas sees the fire in her seemingly fragile personality , but he tells her that she doesn't have the 'passion', 'the darkness', 'the life' to portray the emotions of a black swan. She is only the white swan. Nina touches base with her dark passionate side and it awakens and she performs the black swan , astounding Thomas and everyone else. Her pursuit of ambition and perfection exposed her to her dark side and she aced it.

Maya made me think of Nina Sayers today. When she was pure, fragile, trusting, naive, stupid , nervous and an easily trampled victim, begging for mercy and justice , she still believed that she deserved her child and she deserved justice. But she got none and reached the tail end of her life as we will see it soon. And the only way she could become that justice seeking grim reaper was by giving into her darkness. She embraced her darkness and saw it the only way she could destroy her enemies , without feeling an ounce of guilt and second thoughts. The Maya you see thrown in front of MJ by Antara and the Maya you see terrorizing Antara embody the then white swan and the now, black swan. And Maya has retrieved her white side by embracing Rudra - the only source of light in her otherwise dark dungeon-like life.

In today's episode, there is not much to say except that it was expected that Maya and her family was put through hell and killed and almost killed. Everyone she trusted betrayed her, everyone she loved left her and every fiber of her morality was ripped away from her. The girl we see today is a pitiable monster who has a heart that beats for Rudra who has dared to love a monster.

This whole story is a huge 'Maya' and nothing is true here, except Maya's love for Rudra and Rudra's love for Maya if it stands the test of time, virtue and judgment.

P.S- Antara represents a whole percentage of partners in our society ( both men and women ) who stay with their abusive and wicked spouses just because they have no emotional , moral or any compass of self on their own. Toxic, abusive attachment to a narcissist - SO TYPICAL.

Hi. No. The last leg of violence on Maya is yet to be shown.

Black Swan is one of my favorite dark psychological thrillers. Natalie Portman slayed. The way Nina got usurped by her Dark side and ultimately had to kill herself to retrieve her light broke my heart.

Remember Black Swan talks of how the prince was seduced by the Black Swan away from the White Swan. Here Rudra is also seduced by the dark side but unlike Black Swan, both sides of Maya love her Prince- the dark & the light. And the Prince of Roy family is also head over heels in Love with his swan.

Today's episode was quite shabby but like the norm in this show, the actors are the only saving grace. I was surprised to see Antara behavior. She looked high as a kite. Manvi was so naive to believe she had hope of getting any justice. That press conference locked her destiny forever. Yes she did wrong getting involved with a married man but she didn't deserve this fate.

PS: Loved Maya taunting Antara-Diya😆

Thank you. I had to watch that film twice-thrice to grasp it and I was like WOW! The human heart and the human psyche!

So true. Rudra is seduced by the dark side of Maya , but he lights up at her innocence as well. So, maybe he can love her as a twilight zone and yes, Maya loves him with both her light and darkness.

Antara is a pathetic excuse of a woman. No respect for herself and hence, no respect for anyone else. She is obsessed with a toxic man and no wonder, she lives on drugs.

Maya was wrong , but she didn't deserve death and destruction just because she was naive. Terrible.

Antara's terrified face was worth watching in front of Rudra and Maya. Bechaari kare toh kya kare? 🤣

Yeh toh aunty ko zaroor naseeb hogaa! ☺️

Black Swan...such an intriguing yet heart breaking & disturbing commentary on human psyche! When we delve into our shadow side, the darkness with in can we learn to control it or just sink deep into the monster we unleash! Beautiful comparison

But here Rudra is the one thing which will not allow Maya to be swallowed into that darkness. But it’s going to be a very tough journey for these two.

The scene in the room with Diya, Antara, MJ and Maya was so disgusting. I have zero sympathy for Antara now...she deserves the treatment meted out by MJ. And Rudra is simply wasting his breath by advising his mom to walk out of this farcical marriage...she revels in being Mrs Roy, even if it means tolerating mistresses, physical & mental abuse, drug addiction. I just want the flashbacks to be over now...the way Manvi, a chit of a girl was treated by each of these monsters is a difficult watch. And Diya is an atrocity in the name of a woman!

Thank you. ❤️... True na? We all have our shadow side. Some of us tame it and some of us drown into it. Right now, Maya is drowning but there is hope of light for her.

Totally. Reason being that Rudra may be forced to face his own shadow side when the truth is out. To save Maya, he has to save himself first.

True. Antara and Diya are self-destructive and destructive rats who have lost their head and heart and humanity over an ogre like MJ. They have become his doormats and they think they can master him. I guess tomorrow or day after will be the last leg of flashbacks of Manvi and I hope we are done with that.

You are absolutely right...Rudra will have to face his own monsters before he can support Maya in this battle...his insecurities around his past, his mixed feelings for his father, the reality of this parents relationship. At some point I feel he will break away from Maya & she will have to prove her love for him to win him back.

I have my hopes high on atleast this part of the story line because no matter how shabby the thriller, the half baked flashbacks, the shoddy revenge track has been, the one thing the cvs excel in, is the pathos of the Maya Rudra love story. They have handled the buildup beautifully & the journey has been nothing short of brilliant. So we shall keep hoping😀
