So watched the episode in detail'.And Ashka and Swati Chitnis at their best'
We saw AS disgusted with her daughter, heart broken, she joined the family in the room where they all are held prisoners. And Kalavati bid a tearful adieu to her mother ' knowing that this is it. There was no need to pretend now, she had given an option to her mother to be with her, but, like always, she had chosen her virtuous son.
So now what'
With Dutta hiding with Seema and Chacha' Chaskar out there looking out for danger'. Nakku, Baaji and Aai Sahib with family, locked in a dungeon ' Kala and Suds and the suddenly efficient Body Guards ' out there, hoping, that Dutta will rise to the bait and hoping against hope to catch him.
This I think is the edgiest cliff-hanger we have ever had'.
And so am trying to think of the repercussions'.
Kalavati wanted to use Aai, Baaji, Nakku as baits' But for that she will need to come out in the open with Dutta' and that is one thing which will make her knees weak.
Dutta is Kalavati's weak point. He is a giant compared to her pygmy stature and she knows that. He is admired by all, feared by all, loved by and even her own mother chooses him over her. This is something Kalavati hates. Dutta's superiority over her. And she is afraid of him. She recently had the experience of Dutta's gigantic charisma, when, she tried to convince Patil wadi people that he had died. The rage amongst people on hearing that something had happened to their Bhau had made Kala realized how higher up Dutta had gone and she was nothing but staring at his knees.
She always had that penchant to remain in his good books. I don't think it was because of the reasons as similar to Leela and Roops, who wanted a good life at the cost of their brother, but she genuinely craved for his good opinion. His respect. Because may be, she felt that his respect would compensate the ones which he was receiving on her behalf.
But am not here to analyze Kalavati. She has been analyzed beautifully in some posts written by my dear fellow LTLians, especially Zuby and Ana. Am trying to think of the next step forward.
How will Dutta come to know about this? How are Seema and Chaskar going to feature in this whole war? Because now this has turned into a dynasty wars' and both Seema and Chaskar are outsiders.
I know that Suds is going to be done away with, Baaji will take care of him'. Chaskar is no more than a machchar for Dutta, and Seema will also fade in oblivion ( I certainly hope so).
Then we come up with three main weaknesses of Dutta - Nakku, Baaji and AS...Will Kalavati put Nakku/Aai as bait before Dutta, would she trade them off? Would she ask for his power, money or simply try to take his life by luring him using these two as baits??? And how would she ask??? How will she meet Dutta's eyes (Am assuming Dutta will be perfectly alright the time he meets his 'sister'), how will she tell him, it was she who killed his father, made Supriya run away, created rift between him and his wife and ultimately tried to kill him.
With AS it was not difficult. She had been open to AS, when she first left PN'. So AS knew most of the things, except that she did not expect Kala to stoop to this level. But with Dutta, it will be different.
Now more than Tasha, it is the confrontation of Kala and Dutta I await.
Two head strong persons, two people who are master of their games, two people who hate with the same ferocity, two people who believed they have been wronged by their own people in their lives, two people who have lived their lives with each other knowing each other's vulnerabilities'..and not to forget two powerhouse actors'.MR and AG...We are in for a super ride'
