20/1 - Epi 16 ... Shadyantra

Monday 20th Jan

The Thakur leaves nothing to chance ... Paro baisa, we will miss you, but you must die.

Paro may be an uneducated village belle, but she's not a wimp ... no weeping and wailing why her maami-sa disowned her, she knows exactly why maamisa did so ... but the blame for that goes not to the Thakur, but to the BSD, and to Rudra in particular ... of course maamisa disowned me, you klutz, because if she and the village had acknowledged me, you would have wreaked havoc in the entire village. It's all your fault. You're an animal! 
So many years of brain washing by the Thakur have had their effect.

Rudra is even more furious ... he knows that by not acknowledging Paro as their own, the village stymied him completely ... and far from blaming them and hating them for it, and in turn betraying them, Paro makes his life more difficult by blaming him! She's not going to bend in a hurry!

Have to say, Paro caught me completely by surprise in that scene ... I did not expect a feisty Paro this early!! I thought she was dead from inside at the betrayal by her village ... but she wasn't ... not so dead that she couldn't comprehend why Maamisa had done what she did ... and her anger towards the BSD and Rudra is only building more and more.
So Paro leaves Rudra speechless, helpless and even angrier than before ... no food for you till you tell me what I want to know! 

Thakur is the next man in a bind due to a beautiful woman ... his Thakurain. She wants Paro back safe and sound. So does Maamisa ... she understands why Thakursa told her to disown Paro, she did so ... but now she's only worried about Paro.
Thakur repeats the same words to Thakurain and maamisa that Paro said to Rudra ... it was necessary to save the village ... seems like Paro already knows how the Thakur's mind works ... will this prove useful later?
Maamisa doesn't care, she's only worried about Paro ... Paro, who lost her parents, her husband and now even her village ... She's even ready to be banished from Birpur as long as she can go with Paro. So Maamisa is dispatched ...
But Thakurain is a different matter.
Hence the new shadyantra ... Paro must die.

Rudra wants to hear what Paro is saying ... turns out it's nothing useful ... only a prayer. He allows her water ... after tasting it himself ... to Aman he says that's necessary because she's their only witness and hostage, anything she eats or drinks, will be only after he tastes it.
Okayyyyy ... he is official taster?

Rudra-Laila ... she calls, he needs release ... release for his frustration at being bested by a beautiful girl? A girl whom he wants to believe is guilty, but his heart seems to say she's innocent ...
Laila cares deeply for Rudra, her light frivolous seductive talk is a cover, because she knows that's all he wants, all he will accept ... when she discards the cover to show her real concern for his wounds, he doesn't want it. He comes to her for one thing alone ... and she'd better remember it and not talk about anything else. Least of all, about the beautiful dulhan who is his captive ... why did he even take her captive. He doesn't want to hear that question, much less answer it.

Thakurain is not going to give up easily ... Thakur has to admit defeat.
Again talk of when Thakurain came to him ... leaving an already existing family?
She doesn't hear Rudra's name ...
Is Thakurain Rudra's mother?

Paro whimpers on the floor in captivity ... murmuring the childish rhyme she whispered to the camel to take away its pain ... who will take away hers?

Thakur's men have found a renegade BSD officer to do the work ... get rid of Paro. Man gets to work, while Thakur apologises to Paro baisa ... sorry, Paro, not your fault, I just need to kill you anyway. 

Rudra gets back to work, staggering a little from his wounds ... for heavens sake, man ... there is bravery and there is bravado ... usually preceded by the word 'foolish' ... if you want to show you're brave, get your wounds treated and refuse the pain killers, to refuse treatment for wounds is being foolish!

Killer reaches Paro ... so does Rudra ... and episode ends ... damnnnnn!!!! Paro holding gun in precap ... on Rudra ... double damn!!!

SN- hope she gets him to bandage his wounds! She seems to be a smart girl, much smarter than he is!

  1. Loved the first glimpse of feisty Paro, hope the writers continue to make her multidimensional. I even liked the scenes of Thakur and his wife, both actors bring in an air of the manor born in their body language and demeanor, and their relationship is intriguing. Though could not appreciate Rudra's bravado today, what's the bravery in having open wounds? Liked the Laila-Rudra scene for the last dialogue, Paro is already coming in between.

    A nice interview of Sanaya

    1. Agree ... I couldn't appreciate Rudra's bravado either ... there is nothing heroic in not getting your wounds treated. I guess that's what will make him land up in hospital with Paro.

      Thanks for that link, Uma ...

      Adding another longer interview on location

      So finally Rudra will fake Paro's death and spirit her away to his home, that's where his family comes in, I guess.
      And hopefully Paro will get a change of clothes!!!

  2. Dia I too was surprised to see feisty Paro. Glad that she's not completely broken . Still knows to process what's happening around...Thakur & Thakurain is intriguing indeed...Though Thakur keeps his wolf side away from her...so far it seems he has a soft corner for his wife...Rudra being her son?? Don't know...She could have left her husband...But a son without being guilty for so many years??? I'm going to wait for that part to unfold.Story has started shaping..I'm enjoying this show at this stage...

    Thanks for the link Uma:)

    1. Lakshmi, Paro has been brainwashed for years against BSD,and then mamisa asked forgiveness before she shunned Paro publicly. Paro froze as soon as she heard her mamisa say sorry, so there was a realization that she is being abandoned for greater good. Her outburst was a follow-up to that.

    2. Ah yes, Uma ... now I get it. And also Thakur's blessing of 'be brave, be strong', as though warning her of tough times ahead ... so Paro realises this is being done for a reason. And she still thinks Thakur is her well-wisher, that's why he warned her.

      Ek vidhwa Paro ke liye ... poor girl!!! :( Married and widowed in one day, what a tragedy for any girl!
