The beginning was nice and quick. They didn't stretch this "attempted murder" track too long and made it a celebration because Pujan still has a chance to get everything. I like his characterization because it isn't just your usual run-of-the-mill villain (though it might be too early to say anything). He's smart, cunning, and opportunistic. He takes the opportunity at the right time.
My favourite scene of this episode was Vatsal and Narottam. While on one hand everyone was mistreating him just for being effeminate (it's too early to say if he's a transgender or gay), Vatsal stood by his brother and refused to participate in any prayer without him. Even if Narottam was sidelined or pushed to the back, at least he got his wish to see Vatsal's prayer.
The quick meeting of Vatsal and Anami was a lovely moment. The actor playing Vatsal did a good job of portraying this feeling of seeing more than meets the eye and almost as if he "recognized" Anami. And Anami's demand to be let through while teaching him a lesson or two along the way was a good opportunity to see more into Anami's "dabangg" character (for lack of a better word).
Anami really hates her mother and I'm glad that it sticks with the promos. It doesn't matter what the reason was for Satarupa to give away Anami. Anami was left on her own right after birth. That is all that is needed.
I like that so far the CVs haven't wasted any second. They move quickly from revelation to revelation. The maid now knows Anami by face because she saw her with Murari Pathak. But the surprise, in fact the shock, was that Guruji knows about Anami as well.
I didn't get the scene of making Narottam dance amongst all those boys. What was trying to be accomplished there? Was it just to give Pujan a chance to steal to pay for Vatsal's death? Maybe more to be revealed in future episodes.
Precap: Aww a nice chance for Vatsal and Anami to connect, but I hope he doesn't get killed. Of course given that they attacked him in front of Anami, she might just end up saving him. Or maybe this whole scenario from today and Vatsal's death tomorrow will end up playing the catalyst for Anami entering the mahal as the new heir.
