The two species can be very difficult to separate.
This should be correct as A. narada.
A. narada with upperside confirmation. Fraser Hill.
The HW dark discal line is regular in an even curve especially in the lower half.

In this example from India the HW dark line is very similar to A. narada but merely angled at vein 2. Wingshape probably dsf.
