Filler scenes of Anami ...
Grief for Vatsalya ...
Intrigue and plotting starts ...
15th August Tuesday
Anami downs gundas with martial arts ... thankfully, no miraculous flying kicks or levitational stunts.
Tension between Baldev and his father, between Baldev and Satrupa, between Satrupa and her in-laws ...
Cop Adhiraj tracks gunda no. 1 of Pujan, but Pujan is one step ahead.
Guruji tells Satrupa, go get your daughter back, she is the rightful heir.
So Satrupa was supposed to send her son, her first-born, away for his own safety ... putra moh made her send her daughter away instead. Now with Vatsalya's death, has the threat to the other child lessened?

Anami-Pandit on the ghats - beautiful scene, reminded me of the bond between Khushi and her babuji. Murari pandit also tells Anami that bonds of love and trust are stronger than bonds of blood. Anami's despair, mingled with hatred for her mother ... overpowered by the overwhelming fear of being torn from the only family she has known and loved ... Mahima was so good in the scene ... her near-hysteria and despair beautifully portrayed. You feel for the girl ... her world being torn apart ... even the reassurance from her beloved Pandit isn't enough to assuage her fears ... rightfully so.
Guruji-Vikram - as Royal Steel goes down in the stock market, Vikram prepones Avdhoot's pagri ceremony - Guruji is not happy. There is dawn after the night, but Vikram is not ready to wait for it.
Guruji-Damo conversation - so Guruji gets on the phone to Damo and tells her, Satrupa needs to step on it ... forget her grief and just get Anami back.
Guruji seems more involved in the family politics and business matters than a religious guru should be ... his own ambitions here? Or does he truly have the good of the family at heart, and is concerned (rightfully ) about the evil machinations of Pujan and Avdhoot?
Shirtless hero Adhiraj :) watched by drooling sidekick! Info - Satrupa has gone to Benaras. But why?
Baldev- Vikram - Vikram is ruthless, Baldev is bitter ... he truly loved his son ... but his wife, Satrupa? And how will he react when he hears that she hid his own child from him for so many years? Loved the little flashback ... the love between father and son was so endearing.
Bitterness against his father too... Satrupa was always more important ... his sins could never be forgiven, but she is flawless. So how will the old man react when he hears that Satrupa is not so flawless after all?
Satrupa- Damo and the Bhagvad Geeta ... Satrupa truly, deeply conflicted ... her pain is no less, she gave away her child knowingly, and now faces the hatred of that child. Should she give that child more pain by tearing her away from the only family she knows and loves? Would that not be selfish? She's hurt her once as a mother by giving her away ... can she hurt her again? Will Anami ever forgive her?
But Damo continues the lines from the Geeta ... this is a fight between right and wrong ... Satrupa has to fight for her children's rights, she owes it to them, and that is her duty.
Another beautiful scene showcasing Satrupa's conflict ... she has an unpleasant road ahead, but tread it she must.
The Pandit family spend a restless night ... Murari Pandit worried despite his reassurance to Anami that she can never be separated from them, he too knows that may not be true.
Anami seeks comfort in her mother's lap ... but for how long? Both mother and daughter spend the night fearful about the storm ahead. In fact,the entire family is sleepless, their night darkened by a deep sense of foreboding that hangs over them all, from Murari Pandit to little Laddoo.
(Loved the song used here ... from Parineeta ... raat hamari toh ... chaand ki saheli hai)
And rightfully so ... for in the morning, the storm breaks. Satrupa has no time to mollify her daughter ... she has to take her back the very next day. So saam daam dand bhed ... false kidnapping case ... which will do the job, but at the cost of alienating her daughter even further ... as hate flashes deeper in Anami's eyes. Daughter is a chip off the old block all right ... mother and daughter are cut from the same cloth ... both equally self willed and strong.
In the meantime, Baldev orders his henchman ... Satrupa has to be found and brought back toLal Mahal ... she has to sign the adoption papers.
19th August Saturday
Face off between mother and daughter - Anami angry, furious ... how can you do this, what kind of woman are you, can you stoop so low for money? First you threw me away, and now you come to pick me up when it suits you?
Not by a flicker does Satrupa reveal how those accusations wound her ... if they do at all. She didn't want to do this ...but Anami left her no choice.
Anami isn't done yet ...she will stay where she wants.
Satrupa's trump card ... Anami is still a minor. The kidnapping case will hold. She has the power to decide where Anami will stay.
Laal Mahal
Avdhoot gets ready for pagri rasam ...grumbling to mummy about cold and hot water. That's going to be the least of his worries.
Benaras - face off continues ... Anami not giving up, but neither is Satrupa ... neither is Panditayan, Anami is her daughter. Veiled and not so veiled threats from Satrupa about the fate of Murari Pandit, his wife, and his little son ... they worry Anami, but she's not ready to give in ..
But then she sees the police taking off her parents.
So yes ... Anami capitulates ... umar dhokha de gayi. But it's vanvaas of one year only ... she will be back as soon as she turns 18. And another barb towards her mother - if only you were as good a mother as you are a conspirator.
Pandits are ready togo to jail ... Anami doesn't have to go with anyone.
But Anami loves them too much ... and the fire in her belly has been burning for 17 years.
Saturpa threatens her ...come quietly, and nothing will happen to these people.
Anami threatens her back ... anything happens to them and I will turn your mahal to ruins.
Mother nehla, toh daughter dehla.
So Anami goes with Satrupa ... as the streets of Benaras flash by, so do her memories ... but as she promised Murari Pandit and herself ... not a tear in her eye.
Avdhoot-Pujan ... waiting for Satrupa to surrender ... they also know the real power lies with her. Avdhoot getting ready to enjoy his new life ... doesn't bode well for his future.
Laddo-Panditayan ... 'She' took Anami away.
And Anami went?
Heart broken mother and son ... 'I want her back.'
They both do.
Anami in the car with an impassive Satrupa ... Memories again ... the truth of her adoption. Laddoo's naamkaran, where Pandits asserted she was part of their family. Memories with Laddoo.
And Anami vows silently to the birth mother she hates already... you are taking me away from everything I held dear ... I promise you, I will make you live to regret what you are doing.
