Nice post.

Every character in this show has layers upon layers and as you peel them away you don't get to the core, you just get a better insight into that character.

Up till last week Narottam was a wronged, innocent man whose jealousy and rage led him to do everything.

But this week was a game changer. Narottam has come out to be a mastermind working for a mastermind. He is that silent killer, the one who holds a knife behind his back waiting to strike at the right time. And what makes it even more deadly is that he's been taught all that by his own mother. Just imagine. A mother sharpened her son into a weapon to exact her revenge. She has no motherly feelings, no love, no care, no affection, nothing. She's a psychotic soul with an appetite for vengeance and a weird obsession with the colour red.

Narottam has grown up in an environment where he's been hated, cursed, beaten, and ignored. He's grown up knowing a real mother like Sudha and a stepmother like Satrupa. The former has used him and sharpened him into a weapon and the latter has cemented his anger and frustrations.

After such an upbringing, the only way he will ever know love is if someone pure, innocent, and with open intentions shows him what love really is and makes him feel what love really is. In this situation, I'm finally understanding why the Adhiraj-Anami love story is necessary and why it's being forced upon us. Because theirs will not be the typical love story with sacrifices and mistrusts and proving oneself pure. It will be a love above that. One that allows the other to fly freely and doesn't tie them down. One that allows the other to grow. One that stands up to the twists and turns of time and Lal Mahal.

And at the same time, his bond with Anami will slowly grow stronger and will no longer be out of the demand of revenge or haq. It will be one that will stand through Sudha's every move, through every twist and test that can be thrown at them. That bond will make Narottam realize who Sudha really is and how he has been used by her for her pleasure.

Slowly Anami will change the Lal Mahal members as well as they all grow a bond with her and maybe, just maybe, they will understand how they have wronged Narottam and finally put that all to peace.

Only after the above can Narottam truly understand what love is. But if any of these doesn't happen then Narottam may never realize what love is, what sacrifice is, what a true relation is, what a true bond is. He'll forever be misguided and misused by all around him until he finally breaks or becomes a useless weapon.

Well Said Soup.👏👏
Today for the first time while watching the show i too felt that it may be Sudha who made him dance. Sudha is sick in all the sense. Her quest of revenge has made her non human. The person does not bond with her child like mother but like a senapati. He is her soldier who is on the inside of the fort. The insider who can make the game go on any side and when time comes he will be the player that will play from the side unknown to all.

As you said the man is deprived of love and respect. He is been played by all. He is the most unfortunate soul out there. The dark horse which is dark not due to fate but due to his parents.

Today we saw that Anami is a player. Although he can play on both sides; Anami knows how to play and win. This will be a game changer. Narottam thinks that he is playing with Anami but in fact it will be other way round. Anami is 10 times smarter than Satrupa and she is courageous too. She does not need someone else to fight for her. She fights her own fight and she has the sense to know people. She will know him fast. She is there to rule and not to be a pawn.

The new entrant - Is he Maharaja's son or some one from his family? Interesting character and the actor too seems great.

Although Narottam is Shikhandi of this Mahabharat. The question is who is that Bheesma here that he will defeat? Is it Dadaji? Does both Sudha and him wants to avenge Dadaji?

Every episode comes up with many more questions and every episode is a notch above. (I am going to be blind towards the medical drama that i witnessed. Its one of its kind)

Ah this scene! I loved it!! Nd you placed some hidden questions and meaning quite well too!

I loved how Annika was pretty much warning him that he can't win over her. She'll make him lose in just 6 turns. 😆 But then Narottam looked pretty confident about his black side too~

I feel like him choosing black side of the chess also represents him hiding behind the shadows. He has of course gotten on the dark side because of the way he has been treated in his whole life, but like Satrupa pointed out, he needs to fight his own battles.

His revenge is not his own, his chess players are being guided by his mother, he's playing beneath Sudha's shadow. Sucks though. But honestly, I cannot blame him. It won't be easy for him to grow and become an individual by being enslaved by everyone around him.

Lol I like how you compared Narottam to Shikhandi. I remember she was also a ploy controlled by her father. I don't exactly remember why though :(

Comparing Sudha to a warrior would be insulting the warriors. She's more like a killer feeling her blade. Red Gangstaa Woman.

Your "no comment" on the medical stuff reminded me how wrong they showed Surgeons to be like 🤢 I was so not happy with him washing blood stains filled gloved hands under the water. That was ridiculous! Don't they remove gloves and wash their hands??? Now there'll be blood on the tap handle👎🏼 WTH?

The Chess scene was simply superb. How Anami walked in to a deserted house...the final game being played between the two. Up till then, Narottam has been playing all by himself, switching sides. Now he chooses black (as he did when he kept quiet about Vatsalya running away). And she defeats him in six moves! Poor Narottam goes on playing, not knowing she has defeated him!
Brilliant! 👏 I guess that is how it will be. The final battle will be between the two.

I love Bhupinder Singh too.

Anami has the same blood as Satrupa and Vikram and she will rip Narottam apart when it comes to that. You see for now Narottam is the weakling, but actually he is a black sheep and I think Anami will take time to get to the bottom of it all. but when she does, she will be the first one to undo his damage and revenge,

That's the point Ecri. Dialogue writer must have enjoyed writing those lines. Superbly written. Beautifully done. Anami, is talking from the point of playing chess while Narottam is talking from the point of his ambitious plans to overtake Lal Mahal. Nevertheless, Anami, still has the upper hand even in those dialogues.

What Narottam and Anami both have in common is their unpredictability. While Narottam is underestimating Anami what he doesn' realise is that Anami is only a portion of what Vatsalya was. Although she has a good heart he doesn't realise that she is too good at exposing fake babas. Remember, dadi failed in her attempt to fool her. She is a little bit of Baldev, someone wronged by her own family, she is so frustrated and angry that she will trust Narotam who has been equally wronged by the same people. Like Baldev is trying to ignore Anami to prove Satrupa wrong, Anami has befriended Narottam because that helps her retain her dislike for Satrupa and other members.Baldev will know the truth sooner or later and so will Anami.

However, when its about retaliating to her enemy, Anamj is very much a young Satrupa, something Narottam is stupidly ignoring. She is neither Baldev or Vatsalya in that case.

Dey 😊

Great minds think alike. And such a lovely point on Anami being only a part of Vatsalya. Vatsalya was not even a patch to what Satrupa is. Anami is the real fire, the real heir and Narottam will be whiplashed into that reality while Baldev will witness that soon too.

The dialogues and the screenplay is so good, Dey, one cannot help but fall in love.

Narottam is considered a nobody by everyone in Laal Mahal but is a secret weapon used by his mother. He is an interesting character and not an outright villain. He is who he is because how he has been shaped by his mother. Now he is slyly playing for both sides to achieve his mother's motives. Maybe there will be a time when he will have to choose a side for himself. But this chess game has shown that if he chooses the 'dark' side, he will be defeated by Anami... maybe Anami will defeat the dark side to him by her moves.
