Monday 9th October
Back on track with the change in time slot. A good tense episode today, started with a brief recap, and then the story moved full steam ahead!
Anami Satrupa confrontation Satrupa had her reasons for abandoning her daughter, and they were not all unselfish. So she is silent when faced with Anami's accusations, because they ring true.
Still don't like Anami's extreme defiance ... they have mellowed it down, but it's still quite strident.
Baldev-Dheeru ... some major unfinished business here. Simmering undercurrents, outright dislike and envy ... Dheeru gets the position that Baldev covets, feels is rightfully his. Baldev hides his gun when Tanya appears. And just misses Adhiraj as he leaves and Adhiraj arrives. So that connection is not known to him yet.
Pujan and Kamini scene ... light relief ... he is still plotting and planning ... wonder when one of his plans will succeed. He doesn't seem to know that Avdhoot's army has been hijacked.
Anami-Dadi ... this was a shocker. Dadi is also a grey character. Sudha's hatred and thirst for revenge is not unjustified. But like everything and everyone, there will be layers within layers in this story too.
Ila is jealous of Adhiraj's growing friendship and regard for Anami. So she tries to drive a wedge.
10th October Tuesday
Ila-Anami - Ila continues to try driving a wedge in AdhiMi's friendship ... and does succeed ... for the duration of one episode :)
Satrupa-Baldev ... these two have a very complicated relationship. Good scene, both are such fab actors. Baldev accuses Satrupa of loving RS much more than him ... so why did she give in to Dheeru?
Satrupa explains that she's being careful, picking her battles ... she is ruthless. Let Dheeru save RS today ... then they will deal with him. Baldev still not convinced about Anami.
Ila-Adhiraj - she tells him a sanitised version of the truth, omitting her part, of course ... Adhiraj goes straight to clarify matters with Anami! But of course Anami isn't going to get appeased so easily.
Methinks Anami forgot that she also tried to trick Adhiraj by changing samples ...
Tanya-Adhiraj ... Adhiraj is in foul mood ... fighting with friend/girlfriend has that effect! Tanya advises him ... just say sorry.
That's not going to be easy for Adhiraj ... he's as arrogant and egoistic as the next man :P
Pujan's next plan ... kidnap Anami from college. let's see if this one works better than the previous ones.
Adhiraj -Tanya - Dheeru ... Adhiraj letting loose his frustration on his family, especially his father. Taunts about becoming partner in RS ... Dheeru retorts he's doing all this to protect his family.
Dheeru's dialogues ... in this fight, you can't fight a face to face battle like Lord Ram ... the deviousness of Krishna is required.
Pujan- Kamini ... Pujan's plans are under way ... Kamini is not impressed. Not surprised, as all his plans have flopped till now.
Which makes me feel even more certain that it was Sudha who got Vatsalya killed ... not Pujan.
And this time it's Kamini who comes up with a plan ... Avdhoot - Tanya marriage. Friendship with Oberoi didn't last long ... she has a better idea. Rishta is longer lasting than friendship ...
Adhiraj tries to follow Tanya's advice ... simple apology. Including climbing up her window in the middle of the night. Let's see how that goes.
11th October Wednesday
Adhi-Mi Anami isn't appeased so easily. Apology not accepted, thank you very much. And she knocks Adhiraj off her balcony for good measure. Adhiraj is sorry he even attempted to say sorry.
So both end up miffed with each other.
Satrupa-Gayatri - both have an interesting relationship.Not cordial, not close ... but two strong women who recognise each others' strength, and are not too proud to ask for help and cooperate on the one matter that matter to them both - Anami.
Satrupa asks for help ... tell Anami that Narottam is not a good friend to have.
More than Narottam, Gayatri is worried about Sudha. Narottam has already been feeding Anami lies and half-truths about the history of LM.
Satrupa is furious ... she wants to throw Narottam out immediately. Fortunately Gayatri has a cooler wiser head on her shoulders ... any action against Narottam will only antagonise Anami against Satrupa further. And make it more difficult in the long run to get Anami back on the right path.
And for once we see the softer mother in Satrupa ... she is worried and concerned about her daughter. Like every mother she worries, she wants Anami to tread the right path ... she is happy to see Anami's strength, even if it is currently pitted against her ... because that strength is what will be required to straighten out the chakravyuh that is the Laal Mahal.
Gayatri wonders at this change in Satrupa ... the ruthless businesswoman who stood shoulder to shoulder with her husband Vikram, is now helpless against a teenager's tantrums. For a mother, her children are at once her biggest strength, and her biggest weakness.
Have said it before, will say it again ... one of the biggest strengths of this show is the actors ... each and every scene has good actors pitted against each other, and they lift the scenes to another level entirely. As do the dialogues ... hats off to the dialogue writers as well.
Gayatri continues to worry about Sudha ... as she remembers how she threw her out and got her locked up in the mental asylum ... through deceit and treachery, sweet words and hard actions.
And Sudha has the capacity to be very revengeful ... even as she was being drugged and taken away, she didn't try to free herself ... instead her hands reached out to throttle the one who had betrayed her - Gayatri.
And a pregnant Satrupa looked on, horrified at the scene below. Was that the first time she got to know the truth... that Baldev, her husband, had an illegitimate child already?
Anami-Tanya-chemistry lab ... fairly predictable scenes, as Anami is trapped in the chemistry lab by Avdhoot's minions.
Avdhoot and Pujan start celebrations ... again a bit too early! Though why they feel that people will think she ran away, beats me ... Anami is quite settled in LM after the DNA test.
Adhiraj-Tanya ... brother picks up sister ... and Anami is left alone in college ... passing out in the locked chemistry lab.
12th October Thursday
Avdhoot-Pujan-Kamini ... start the celebrations ... kidnapper is on the way.
Anami tries to call Adhiraj ... Anami beta, he's miffed with you, remember?
Anami is passing out in the lab ... struggling ... phone breaks ...
Satrupa is worried about Anami ... the driver is still waiting at college.
Satrupa gets worried instantly. And corners Narottam ... is he responsible?
But Narottam swears he doesn't know either.
She warns him ... if he has anything to do with Anami's disappearance ...
If only she knew ... Narottam is as worried about Anami's absence as she is. And so is Sudha ... trace Anami, get her back ... and whoever is responsible, get rid of them. Anami is essential to Sudha's plans.
Again, dialogues are fab!!!
Some dramatic lab scenes ... which were as usual edited out in the TV telecast ... Grrr, UK!!!!
Adhiraj drops sister off, and drops his pretense of being unconcerned. Call to Ila ... trace Anami's phone ... now!
Anami manages to get out of the lab, bleeding foot and all ... collapses outside ... kidnapper reaches her ... Adhiraj reaches the college ... kidnapper ties up Anami neatly as though he's tying Boy Scout knots ... and starts pulling a sack over her as though he has all the time in the world ...
Satrupa is worried sick about Anami by now ...Baldev passes some taunts, Satrupa taunts him right back ... Damo wants to inform the police.
Adhiraj finds Anami and kidnapper with sack ... good filmi fight scene ... isn't Adhiraj taught never to take eyes off hostage when he has a gun pointed at him? even when he's making a phone call? And why did he leave the guy to go to Anami instead?
Probably to make sure she was alive, and if she needed urgent medical help ... okay.
Kidnapper runs away after one more attempt ... Adhiraj takes Anami off in his jeep ... just in time for Narottam to see she's safe ...
Satrupa is very grateful to see Anami back safe ... though she wonders how Adhiraj reached there.
Adhiraj questions Anami ... she remembers she is miffed with him ... but eventually wiser sense prevails and she tells the whole story ...
Narottam finds the guy ... contract killer ... who doesn't know the contractor. Sudha tells Narottam ... the guy tried to finger their future ... finish his past, present and future everything ...
But on second thoughts ... let Satrupa do the dirty work.
13th October Friday
Adhi-Mi ... friends again? Maybe, maybe not.
Poonam's vivid imagination :) Can't wrap my head around the fact that Anami is just 17 ... romance doesn't seem too plausible yet. A crush, maybe.
Baldev and Pujan - Adhiraj ... Pujan of course is furious that his grand kidnapping plan went awry ... why is Baldev being such a douche?
Satrupa-Anami ... Narayani is such a good actress ... in front of her Satrupa, Anami always comes across as a spoilt petulant brat ... even though one knows she has every reason to be angry with her mother. But then, Satrupa didn't throw her out in the streets, she placed her with a loving foster family, and Anami has that to be thankful for. The bigger loss for Anami, however, was the loss of her twin brother ...
Satrupa tries to come closer to Anami ... even tells her she is a reflection of herself at the same age ... interrupted by Damo ...
Naina tells Satrupa she can lead her to the would-be kidnapper ... Satrupa deals with kidnapper efficiently and ruthlessly ... and one sees the head of Royal Steel in this confident ruthless lady ... Narottam is satisfied.
Naina asks for a job with Satrupa. Now where is this leading?
Laddo calls Anami, crying ... again he had the same dream that he had the night Vatsalya was attacked ... that someone was trying to take Anami away.
That was the night Vatsalya was attacked .. today Anami was attacked.
Anami might begin to see some sense now.
Adhiraj wants court custody for Anami for her safety.
