Vatsalya's description of Pujan's cruelty just reminded me of the way he himself went. It sounded like he was describing his own death.

There he had left Lal Mahal, leaving behind the ties that held him away from his dreams... And in no time this soaring bird was shot down. So heartless... So cruel...

Vatsalya is trying to communicate with Anami through his poems, and she can connect with her brother so well. But what about the secret room? While Vatsalya's diary is out there in the open, what secrets does the room hold? What did Narottam's fake tears keep Anami away from?

Lal Mahal is simply a Mahabharata with tales and subtales, and Anami seems to have embarked on this journey, reading it through her brother's eyes.

Would it help her to stick to the white and black? Both Satrupa and Adhiraj remind her how life is about discerning between the different shades of grey.

Adhiraj tells her how she is in Vatsalya's shoes now, and how carefully she has to tread. But little do both the radars know how deep Anami is in the murky waters. She has her eyes on the obvious enemy, Pujan... when the mastermind remains invisible, playing on her sympathies.

How easy it is for us to judge people, not knowing the facts. We are like Anami, judging LMwaasis for the treatment meted out to Sudha and her son. How did Sudha end up in the asylum, and her son deteriorate to a whiny, effeminate kid who was condemned to the corners of LM, an unwelcome member? What forced Vikram to put a roof over this child who seemed to have the most annoying demeanor ever?

I admire both the actors playing maa-beta, Narottam a little more. This is a role of a lifetime for an actor! šŸ‘

Adhiraj: The no nonsense guy is back. He endeavors to treat Anami as the bait, and professional decency decrees he sees to her safety. Gifting a second phone, rather than repairing the old one must signify him starting on a new chapter with Anami. There are no more expectations. In fact, he promises to be objective about everything related to her... the blind trust has become one sided. What an irony that it was she who had observed how unnatural it was for an officer to trust her blindly! It is the same Adhiraj who has to warn her she couldn't trust anyone in this game.

Right now, she's lured in, like Abhimanyu. Would she not know how to get out of this too, thanks to Murari Pathak's parvarish?

Beautiful well written post SoupšŸ‘
When soaring bird was shot downā­ļø The dialogues in this show are so deep. At times just one dialogue has its own story. This is one such line in the beautiful poem that Vatsalya penned down. His disgust on the act that his uncle performed is palpable. Like you said he did not realize that this was his fate. He was asked to be free of all the shackles so that he was burried six feet under the ground.

Anami for sure is getting immersed knowingly or unknowingly in this Mahabharat of LM. Karna by birth, Abhimanyu by act but will she prove to be Arjun at the end is the question most of the viewers have in mind? Will Adhiraaj be her Krishna? From the looks of it; we know that Adhiraaj is keeping a keen eye on her. He wants to save her from the atrocities of LM which she is unaware of.

Is there a similarity between Vatsalya and Anami? Are they in the same situation? I don't think, Anami has an upper hand ti Vatsalya. She has Vatsalya's poem to guide her. She has her instinct to be on her guard. She has her mother to back her and the most important she has her upbringing that has taught her to fight for wrong and stand for truth. The situation is such that she has become the Abhimanyu who was backed by all the great warriors but at the end it was the deceipt of those so called his own family that killed him. Will the same deception in the name of Narottam harm her? Will all the well wisher be able to help her? Most important wilL Anami realize the deception that will help her fight.

Actors playing Narottam and Sudha - they need a round of applause. Yesterday Sudha was a notch higher than the man himself. Her body language, her facial expression, her dialogue delivery, her eyes everything was in sync. That change from a sorry state of widow to that of the suhaagan gave me goose bumps.šŸ‘ā­ļø This does not mean that Narottam is any less. The man has been chosen by Shyaam Benegal. He has to be a good actor. ā­ļøšŸ‘


Finally the much awaited track of educating the girlšŸ‘

A show of desire, skin on view
Now she is trapped, in her own Chakravyuh...

Soupster

A very well penned post with some thought provoking questions that have been brought to the fore.

Anami as Vatsalya?

Nope, not really. Vatsalya was never the one who had taken after the placid aggression from his mother. He more his dad, and no wonder he was mollycoddled and met his end sooner than later.

Anami is the resilient one, the chosen one. The pawn who will rise above the others to be the anarchic bishop in this game of chess, eventually turning out to be the ruling queen, who would have the last laugh. Yes, she has taken it up form here Vatsalaya had left, but she way more shrewd, thank to her upbringing, to not unmask the ally and her protector, Narottam and Adhiraj, respectively.

Anami as Satrupa?

Hell yeah. Satrupa said she is only the caretaker of the legacy and there is nothing that is her's. But she will make sure that the rightful one gets her due. And for a mother who wasnt left with much choice, to the one whose lost and got back her child, she will strive to make sure that Anami doesnt come in harm's way, no matter what. And she will take it upon herself, sooner than later to unravel the Chakravyuh of the past in front of Anami, unmasking both Sudha and Narottam.

But, I have a hunch that Narottam will fall on Anami's side, sooner than later. The affection is catching up and how.

Anami with Adhiraj?

Not quite literally, but yes, they are going to be each other;s ally, now and forever. And I also see Adhiraj as Anami's protector when she is cornered and vulnerable, perhaps, due to Pujan.


All in all, the game as just begun and all I have to say is, bring it on. 😃

PS A special mention to Akash Gill for slaying Narottam like its no one's business. šŸ‘

Brilliant analysis, chicksoup šŸ‘
That Anami has her eye on the obvious one but is oblivious to the mastermind rings so true.

The people with clear intentions albeit it positive or negative are not the dangerous. The most dangerous are those who play on your side, only to make a own goal and make you lose, in this case - Sudha. Not the perfect analogy but yeah.. you know what I mean..

Satrupa needs to have a different hand of dealing with Anami, like how she got her to stay in LM with reverse psychology.. she cannot go about barking orders to anami asking her to stay away from narottam. Ain't gonna work.

Echoing, dadi's words - Satarupa, you are very smart and sharp. Use it like rigjt Now!

Lovely post Chicksoup.

One of the most fascinating things about this serial is how our perception of the characters changes with new revelations. A view about each one only holds true in that moment. Nothing is absolute. The narrative has been handled so deftly, with layers being peeled back in a measured manner.

Narottan, the character and also the actor playing him are gripping. The way he switches between menacing and merging into the background is superb. That scene where Anami is demonstrating her self defence moves and he instinctively holds her off was chilling.

As you read more of Vatsalya's poems you see the percipience he had. More than being unaware of people's faults, he chose to overlook the darkness in his loved ones.

No one is altruistic here. Not even Gayatri and Satrupa where Anami is concerned.

šŸ‘ Excellent, Ecri.

Akash Gill - a true gem. šŸ‘

Narottam is unfortunately only a katputli. The moment he starts having his own personality, Sudha reins him in.

I think Narottam's journey to discovering his true self is quite the singular most novel journey in this Mahabharata of life.

It will only be Anami's love and kindness that sets him free from the clutches of his mother- guess that's a far way off, considering how eager he is to have his revenge... Rather, his mother's revenge. It has made him blind.

When the last move is made, I bet Narottam will be the one factor that would surprise everyone in this Chakravyuh.

I feel Satrupa will never know how to handle Anami , since Anami doesn't trust her. Gayatri has been able to forge that trust, so she's able to use Vatsalya to get to Anami. Dadi is the best person to get things done. šŸ˜‰

Thank you.
True, everyone has an agenda. But I do feel Anami is reading too much into the dark tales of LM. These are the very same people who were precious to Vatsalya - for whose sake he begged her to stay. Jo bach gaya hai, usey bachaya rakhna zaroori hai. It is not his death that Vatsalya wants avenged, he wants Anami to save what is left of his family. She is nowhere near that.

i feel after shudha entering satrupa saturation level will just get finished
and she will again use reverse psychology
and this is the reason anami is getting suspicious of pujan and she will somehow come to know that somehoww pujan is involved in the murder of vatsalya to get the property on his pain
and that is how satrupa will announce she is ready to adopt avdoot as anami is not eligible to be heir and anami willnot want avdoot to be waaris at any cost so she will oppose satrupa and challange her for waris post and satrupa will ask her to proove it by briniging elegance in style
and i feel as teacher dadi will suggest baldev name to teach anami by doing some emotional atyachar and this is how they will show baap beti scene
as it is impossible for now baldev and anami to interact as she has question related to narottam and baldev is in no mood to accept nariottam so something is needed for baap beti interaction

Thank you.

And indeed, Narottam is the Shikhandi in this Mahabharata and so it would be inept to keep him aside and wish for the players to move on without being manipulated. And while Sudha seems to be winning the game atm, her armour being her son, Narottam. She will be surprised to be see what Anami's love and respect has done to the boy, whom she has purposely kept deprived of her love.

Its so intriguing, I am loving the show. The writers and makers have done such a fabulous job. 😊
