Sets you thinking and honestly, that is what a thriller should do.
Oh Rudy boy did it again...he has us in knots today ...what does he really know? He is in too deep with Maya & he will go to any lengths to protect her. I donât feel he was the one who saved her back then but he is definitely on to something. But can I say he was the perfect husband today...had a counter argument for every accusation thrown her way & showed his parents what Maya meant for him. They better not mess with her...not that it stopped that creep MJ, he seems to be right at it in the next scene.
Coming to today's episode, more than flinching at all the violence that was inflicted on Maya , what has become intolerable are the faces of MJ ( when you google devil , his picture will show up), Antara ( cocaine pancakes, psychotic restless behaviour ), Diya ( queen of no expressions and cruelty), Sudhir ( always constipated and cruel ), Ananya ( C grade Nancy Drew and possible second wife of MJ looking at her blind fixation with him ) , Aamir ( no dialogues but a spectator of all this cringefest) - I mean, you wonder that why are you all even alive? I have heard of incidents in all classes of society where whole families are mute spectators and even participants in violence meted out to the defenceless - and if just to see an example of it makes you dig your skin, imagine the horror such victims go through in real life. And it happens. Behind closed doors.
Simply put they are all brutes & deserve to be tortured to death...each one of them.
What I understood today is that Maya is born out of ashes of Maanvi and the fire of her enemies - she is alive for only revenge and poetic justice ; Rudra is just a reason to live a short fairytale because she wants to feel what it is like to be loved and respected for once in her life. Maya has already thought of the war's consequence in her head and the burning of the dollhouse showed that. Remember what she had said once - "Sab kucch jal jaane ke baad hi mujhe sukoon milega."..... Yes, she loves Rudra and will put his life before hers, but NOTHING CAN DETER HER FROM HER PATH OF REVENGE. Just like Kill Bill's "Here comes the bride" where her wrong doers knew that that she deserves her revenge and they deserve to die. Maya has accepted her heart's rebirth ( Rudra) but she has chosen her Karma and more than anyone, she knows where and how this story will end. Sometimes, you have died so many times , been killed in so many ways , that your old fabric turns to ashes and what is borne out of them is not a Phoenix, but a Grim Reaper.Maya is not a Phoenix. She is a grim reaper and she sees death as the ultimate reality and ultimate punishment.
But none of the above will happen until Maya conquers her fear of MJ. For all the darkness, devilry, courage that she has shown, she has not recovered from her PTSD as far as MJ is concerned. True, as Rudra had promised, he stood in front of her biggest fear, he held her hand, he defended her, he blasted everyone, he lied for her- he stood like a fort that couldn't be overtaken by the enemy, he became the guard that he had promised to become , BUT TILL WHEN? One day, Maya has to face MJ on her own, without getting an anxiety attack, without giving that ogre an impression that she is scared of him. The day that happens, MJ's half game is over - Monsters feed more on your fear of them than their existence. Darr khatam, shaitaan khatam. Rudra can show her the door of courage, he can take a bullet for her, he can encourage and empower her, but it's Maya who has to pick the weapon. Maya could give those glares and devilish grins to the Roy clan because Rudra's shoulders protected her - she has to learn to take them head on. Rudra is her strength , but there is no way that he should become her crutch.
Agree...her reactions to MJ show such a deep seated fear/ptsd. What will help her deal with it? She has internalised it for far too long and though it fuels her desire for revenge it has not been dealt with properly. She needs to exorcise this ghost of the past by standing up to him & realising that he cannot do that to her again.
Rudra's love for Maya is overwhelming and scary at the same time - such passion has extremes - both in light and darkness. All I can say is that one hopes that Rudra is able to rise like a Phoenix from his ashes when the whole reality is revealed to him. We already have Maya as the Grim Reaper, we need Rudra's light.
Oh yes...love so deep can turn a person either way. But Rudra has always come across as light & positivity and with all the symbolism attached to him in the form of Shiva, Rudy will rise to the heights of true love not fall into the abyss of darkness. So I believeđ
BTW, can Ananya just get the hell out of Rudra's house and try collecting some pieces of her shredded dignity and self respect? Even better, marry MJ - he has a thing for women who are doormats, you know. That's his kink.
I was delighted when Rudra ticked her off today...this is one character whose graph has gone steadily downhill since the day Rudra proposed to her. Itâs almost like he unleashed a monster side of Ananya which resembles Antara in more ways than we care.
P.S- Do you think it's Rudra who saved Maanvi all those years ago? Just guessing. đ
