The show is just getting better and better 😃

The Scene of the week was the Narottam-Anami chess scene!! No theatrics and camera effects just simple but symbolically poignant lines,giving a hint to the viewers what the journey ahead is going to be like 👏

Pujan babu joker as he is unlike stupid villains he's got his focus on the right prize 😆 Lal mahal through Royal steel 👏

Adhiraj and his short term fascination will be over with the DNA report 😉

Baldev dude I feel for you because of the misery you'll inflict upon yourself when you know Jungli girl is indeed your child!!

Dadaji- dadiji scene was 😭 😳

Satrupa the lady who doesn't bend easily looked so worn out outside the operation theatre, Dadaji indeed is her silent source of strength!!

Btw chick: being a medical student normally medical procedures shown on tv is utter nonsense, here what I understood was: Dadaji went into cardiac shock hence they were resuscitating him, then since it was a major attack I'm assuming all those ping pongs with instruments and bloody gloves was because they performed a procedure to determine the extent of muscular damage as a result of the attack.
Now that's enough of bhakbhak about the medical stuff on the show 😆

Will be back to give my detailed comments later 😆

Awesome post, chicksoup! 👏

The chess game was hugely symbolic ... it showed how the Anami-Narottam game would play out. Dialogues were kickass!!!

I still sorry for Narottam ... for the same reasons you mentioned. It appears that he has never gotten any love from anyone in his life, including his mother. For her, he is a pawn in her game of revenge, nothing more. Wonder if Anami's genuine affection and support will change him ... or whether he will stay black ... as he said, he likes the color black.

Shikhandi in the Mahabharat was born eunuch to take revenge from Bheeshma ... but that was her own revenge, her own wish. Here Narottam has been forced to play eunuch ... it is fairly clear that he is not really eunuch ... to fulfil his mother's thirst for revenge.

The actor playing Narottam is brilliant. The scene when Anami enters the Lal Mahal and his body language changes from normal man to effeminate ... subtle yet obvious. The shift is all in his body language and his eyes ... which go from menacing, calculating, to soft, meek, defenseless, entreating ...

The medical procedures shown were rubbish ... patient should be taken to ICU, not OT, after heart attack ... there was no ECG/cardiac monitor ... they were performing some surgical procedure for a heart attack ... whereas the immediate treatment is all medical ... and the patient did not even have an oxygen mask while surgery was supposedly going on, whereas oxygen is imperative post heart attack. But I have given up on any accuracy in medical procedures on Indian tv at all 😆😆

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?
