Episode 131 Discussion - 23rd Nov 2012
Episode Events
Madhu revels in new found love realization for RK. She dances with him in gay abandon in one imagination, followed by another, where she voices her feelings to RK and tells him that she loves him. And in reality after those two imaginations, Madhu just confesses to herself, but keeps looking at RK adorably. RK is puzzled by her lost and smiley looks. He is pleased and scared as well at this change.
My take over the episode
Beautiful episode and Visual treat for a Friday. Gets an A from me.
Madhu is a goner ! And RK realizes that Biwi pagla gayi hai, but he doesn't know the reason yet.
Because RK can never imagine even in his wildest thoughts that his Biwi can fall in love head over heels with him. All along he thought he was attractive enough to doze her senses off and that she would be lost sooner than later in him, but never could he have thought his sherni Biwi can put aside her dislike and all seriousness just so soon and can love him like this...if he happened to know that Biwi has actually fallen for him ! Probably this self-assured knowledge of her when it was belied at the end of the episode, he was as scared as a mouse. That was the his couch reaction for us and himself. Boy O Boy he was literally scared to see his Biwi in that love besotted eyes, who no longer seemed the person he knew until yesterday afternoon. Damn Cute !!!!
And Madhu...Girl O Girl...She was taking flights on flights. Finally the CVs made justice to her character today. Seemed they worked hard on the scene. They gave her the right dialogues and justified her "nanhi si bachchi, sone jaisa dil , uske chote chote sapne" character. Like a baby (read innocent), she was lost in her dreams and like a baby she was so true to her heart-felt emotions. She was so transparent in what she was thinking. Her affection, her love, her desire shown in such an unreserved manner in that imagination. And what was brilliant was that she visualized RK in the same manner, to the exact extent she knows him for. She imagined his tease, his touches, his twirls, his sardonic temper and yet the patient handling of her. She even begged him not to say NO to her love and in her imagination, she made him stay quiet; not allowing him to say no, but also knowing he will not say yes, but accomodate her anyways. Cute.
It was Madhu's episode all in all. In her love lorn state, she teased her husband, if he goes to the same doctor LOL. RK must have started getting the scares from that point...He was pleased that Biwi was smiling, but it was way too wierd for him and he bothered not to find out and just steered clear of her. LOL
Madhu's imaginations ...both times were very beautiful. The theme of red and white...with red igniting the passion, she did imagine a passionate sequence with her hubby. And at the end of it...just like the starry sky and white and blue canvas as backgrounds, it further deepens her thoughts and shares with him on how she danced with him in her previous dreams when she had not even met him. So damn cute ! So earnest.
Cut to their room...she is again lost...but with all those dark shades, Madhu's imagination gets touched up with reality and therefore a more assertive Madhu, who now understands that she had fallen in love with her husband. This time she imagined him to love her, reciprocate her in an assertive manner, the way she would want him to caress her. She made him touch her cheeks, hold her hands, had vigorous moments...and finally her desire to confess took control of her mind. In her imagination, she not only confessed with a decent foreplay from his side, she made him respond to her the way she wanted him to do it for her. Beautiful.
And finally the reality...him being actually in the room...she hides her face, unlike the studio imagination where she continued to look at him, answer him back. Now after her second imagination, she matured enough to hide her face and not answer him and instead chose to confess her feelings for real to his scare-crow appearance. LOL.
Best part I loved about Madhu was that SHE KNOWS that her husband does not smile. And so she gave him serious face all the time in her imagination. At the same time, she did not let his sarcasm filled face appear in her imaginations. The girl has then clearly shown to us that she is falling for Rishabh Kundra in totality (The combo of RK and Rishabh Kundra).
Madhu as the character is beautiful. I wonder, why her outer beauty is not explicitly mentioned. Only her inner beauty is touted. I know RK likes her outer beauty and that's why he terms a good chemistry between them, likes it, but he is more helpless with her inner beauty.
I liked how, the spots around the sets, came to MB, called her Bhabhiji and offered coffee, tea. People always like a good looking couple. And last time they all saw MB on the sets was when she challenged RK that she will BBB him, and him throwing a fit when she was leaving the set without his permission. Last association of the couple they had was when they come out of studio with him holding her in his arms. Now they are seeing her after a long time and already...Bhabhiji 
I guess, people always genuinely like a good looking couple.

Technically also a Beautiful episode
Why ? The scene at the studio was good.
Its been a long time on Daily Soaps to see such dream sequences.
The studio scene with Red themes over White background, followed by Blue and Starry Sky was a visual treat for me. I enjoyed the colors and that dancing.
Within the room, Madhu was at her best. God! finally CVs paid attention to Madhu and only Madhu. The girl so away from Geet kind, pleased me. Very much. DD acted very well.
The couch scene was also beautiful...but didn't like the forgetfulness between the shots. one side of shot has him with coverlet on and other side doesn't have the coverlet on.
I wanted to pay attention to VD's acting over the romantic scenes, but I could not spread my antennae in his direction. I sensed that he was comfortable...but all the time, I would start focussing on Madhu and DD again. I will watch later for his acting...though this imagination...he will not be in his character. In the real scenes, RK was again being in his character.
By Doves - towards technicality
Guys, one other thing I liked about the episode was how they captured the shooting set buzzing with activity behind/around RK and Madhu when the cameras were focussing on them. The movie crew were busy doing their work. People walking around setting up things for the shot, mounting and angling the cameras for the next shot, men in front of the monitor watching the rushes, spots helping and moving around, actors rehearsing or touching up makeup, etc. The cotton depicting the white snow also was quite discernible giving the picture of how the shots are prepared for and taken. I liked how they captured the movie crew working at the backdrop. It seemed natural and in sync. Keeping with such details make the whole scene more authentic and in character of the show.
Understanding RK's Ishq and Junoon for Madhu
A clue to understand RK.
The line from his song best describes him ...Duniya se hum Begaane
He has apathy for Rishabh Kundra's weakness. He is obsessed never to let himself get deceived. He believes that he has managed to stifle/kill Rishabh Kundra's heart (need not be totally true...its like approaching zero in differentiation style - from mathematics) and that everyone around him loves his superstar image and also afraid of him. He believes that he has distanced himself off the world so much that he is no longer part of it in ordinary sense and instead controls it in his way.
His emotional inadequacy is being compensated by his rational reasoning. So all the more its going to be pain felt on both sides. The problem will not be that both will not want to love each other or be loved by the other. Problem is always going to be over the timing and expected emotional or rational response getting frustrated.
Why would RK marry Madhu and still choose to be with her inspite of her father trying to kill him and him actually losing all hate for her ? I guess, he wants to control the "falling in love" process for either of them. He has his own timings in his rational world. Just that Madhu is once again challenging that. She is frustrating his timing of that. And he is back to that old RK, with his antennae and tentacles out, mentally thinking over the new challenge that Madhu is becoming.
RK wants a controlled response from MB which would suit him with him being prepared. And MB once again on that challenge path, which I wanted her to embark on. I love her for it. She can easily control him...and the Karva Chouth track is going to show him and us, her stubborn streak in winning over him, which RK won't be able to deny in submitting himself to her wishes.
This was day one when RK saw Biwi like this, so lost and in dreamland. Soon he will realize wherefore those expressions are coming from...provided Madhu doesn't hide her state. But going by Madhu's second imagination and the couch scene, I believe Madhu will equally be determined not to show him so soon that she loves him. She knows him too well to risk exposing her thoughts unless she is all prepared to face the music ...in her Hauslon se veer chanting style.
In my opinion...he can come back to bed...once he gets comfortable around Madhu. In studio, he was almost getting comfortable with her smile, but he also realized that something around Madhu did not seem right. So one more night...but then it was not necessary at all. This is CVs story...going wrong...Normally RK, in today's case; would have slept in the bed. Seems CVs are planning a track solely to get him back to bed as they are running out of festivals after Diwali ...And the pillows line is looking ridiculous now. Seems only the CVs are happy about it and they forget that rest of the world including Madhu and RK find it wierd to be lined up like that.
Understanding Madhu's Ishq and Junoon

Towards the title of the post " Love for RK - Not weakness but Strength", let me add some of my thoughts towards Madhu.
Madhu is best known by her Hauslon se Veer Hoon, Sankaton mein Dheer hoon attitude. That positive thinking and stoic attitude comes only if one is grounded in some beliefs, which need to kept burning in her. Time and again, she is close to losing her "Dheer (tolerant, calm, poised, unfeeling state)" state as she gets rudely shocked. Once this weak Madhu had asked Bappa to replenish herself with her fuel (her faith). She asked Bappa to return RK to life. When her belief in her father was uprooted in a most outrageous manner, she lost her dheer state once again, her identity... and had to fall back on RK for support, for replenishment of faith in herself despite of loss of identity as given by our parents. Of course, she had her mother too, but belief was restored by RK.
Just going by her innate character that she has, how can she not fall for RK, who upholds her place in his life, protects her from all animosities, fills her with what she needs most, belief in herself, in good, faith in love, provides her the fuel to burn bright, the way her innocent smile lights up everything.
You are right. She too has that junooni streak for RK. She always had that caring streak for everyone. However now it happens to be RK, a man who showed her twice what it is to lose a poised state of mind, how it feels to be broken in belief...through him almost being at death's door, him being attacked by her father, a man who showed, how he has already lost it and would not want no one to mete similar fate, let alone her, his Biwi. How can she even falter now on the path of commitment that she would tread on after having reinstated by him so. It is nighly impossible piece of information to ignore.
Only junoon beats another junoon. So her underlying need to be veer, dheer, bheer, balveer will always guide her to love and support RK in that junooni fashion with her sense of commitment and the love she has for him...like you said once in your own words...crossing rubicons...
If that was about her need, her existential character, what about the other fuel that RK feeds her for her to take flight with wings of love ? Yes, we need to understand her Ishq equation with RK. Contrary to forum views (majorly), I maintain that RK was the first to fall in love with Madhu. It has been shown in his halluciantions when Madhu was away from him, staying at her maayka in the changed relationship. (To clarify, according to my understanding, the revenge game ended with end of studio track.) Now, time has come for Madhu to realize the same and imagine her longing for him and his company. But how come these two fell in love, inspite of themselves ? I will say, it just happened with the beauties they saw in each other and they couldn't help being mesmerized by each other and before long they started enjoying the responses.
I once wrote this earlier. Not wanting to spend much time in re-paraphrasing, I am just pasting a portion here. Hope you don't mind my lethargy.. 
The post is to tell, that Madhu's beauty attracts RK enough to forget his Rishabh Kundra complex to shun love from his life. Isn't that interesting ? Everything about her attracts him enough to want to protect her always in his care and at the same time play with emotions, just to seek the pleasure of her response towards him...like the recent pinning her to the wall amidst the high voltage situation they just came out from...

from Nov 2nd...
Madhu's beauty
Btw, I never said it explicitly. Hope we all agree that Madhu's beauty actually is a show-stopper for RK Express. Don't you think so ? Madhu might appear all angry, proud, stubborn, caring and all that before RK, however Rishabh Kundra is not excited with those traits of Madhu. He hardly cares as he has plenty of it in himself. What he likes is how those traits emotionally flare up Madhu and how her beauty comes across to him forcing him to stop in his tracks and just look at her. Basically its likes a bumpy accident to his smooth driving.
That's how he has changed so much in Madhu's company. True to story's plotline, Madhu's beauty captivates him in all senses. The storyline doesn't require Madhu to be intelligent. The plot requirement is for her to be extremely honest and wearing her heart on her sleeve. In process of experience she may stop being so transparent, but her first time reactions are always going to be naive and straight from her heart. And this will gradually lead Rishabh to want her in his life. He is a superstar. He needs to have a gilb tongue to get through his everyday life. It must be such a relief to talk to someone where he doesn't need to act being worried for pitfalls in the process. But just her honesty, transparency would never have been enough to attract a man like RK to bond with her and marry her, even if it was a game in the beginning. He needed to be mesmerized by her. And Madhu...she sort of would have been a blonde belle and happily settle down where her mother would have wanted her to settle down, had it not been for RK. The way Madhu was shown enjoying the movie, there is so much of unexplored and unrequited childhood desires in her.
Worries going away
If you ask me, Shamsher as the wonderful father in adopted sense and not in biological bonding sense has already given her a SKEWED outlook on daughter's duties. She is constantly burdening herself with the weight of her gratitude to the man who became her father and in process though wanting to call him papa, calls him MAALIK ; quite different from her mother's MALIK. Its too much of baggage. Its now a good development that Shamsher's flaw will let her shed some of that weight.
Little by little as she gets free-er, we will start to see the true Madhubala. With Trishna around at her home, she became the elder sister around even when she was younger to Trishna. Now RK has no one else than her to pamper. He is no Trishna and no Shamsher where Madhu should feel the weight of gratitude. She is actually much free in RK's place.
RK's shifting to couch and Madhu not asking RK to comeback to bed
Madhu understands RK's withdrawal, therefore she is not asking. What you have to notice is that, she crossed her knowing state and in the experienced state is doing what she wants to inspite of his withdrawal.
She saw his first agitated withdrawal, when out of studio and when inside building lobby near the lift, told her "Aise mat dekho mujhe". Here she was surprised and stubborn why the man would not allow her to talk, express her gratitude.
She gradually understood it as his need for privacy. She honored that in hospital in his delirious and waking state.
Then over lakeside, she again noticed his agitated response at her emotional response...He was saying "Madhu Ghar chalo" This time, she was too distraught to fight with him, so she just resigned herself and wanted to first take care of her. And so sits in that state in the car, doesn't care to put on the seat belt (I am sure she heard him), and he just helps her out, and she takes her opportunity and talks to him through her eyes.
That's her stubborn streak and that she will not stop just because he feels uncomfortable. What is beautiful here is first she resigns and when he cares for her, she is moved enough to come out of her resignation and do what she first intended to do. Seriously ...how can only he reserve the right to care if he just wants to shun her caring of him...so the fire in her. This you can understand from the scene when he was re-bandaging her wound and talks about keeping wounds covered, she grabs the opportunity to express her regret at having used the photographs.
When back in their room, he again says. "Don't look at me like that". She knows what he means and so she is fast enough to gather what she has to say. So basically she was showing her experienced handling of him when he is in that vulnerable state. Infact I wrote about this in my post the other day...that how she was observant of his actions and showing him her censure at couple of things she didn't like that night...his drinking and his sleeping on the couch...but on both counts, she understood why he did that and gave only mild reactions. And another thing RK has come to know that Madhu gives him his space to a threshold level set by her. Beyond that she becomes a Sherni. He knows that.
Rishbala - Ishq and Junoon - until 23rd Nov 2012
Here is my post.
Excerpt...
A while ago, I had felt this.
They will love each other in their own manner - Ishq
And they have their own junoons.
Ishq -
- RK's ishq is caring and being possessive about MB. There's certain level of deewanapan in the way he's after her. Be it to show his smirks or making his peremptory demands, its his expression of admiration for her, attraction for her and the desire to be in her company. Cluelessly enamoured royal tiger...I may as well be shameless and say seems in perpetual heat when around MB.
- MB's Ishq - Am guessing that it too will be possessive like RK. And her ishq so far has an expression of giving spontaneous response to RK's any kind of act. She just can't stop reacting to him. Cluelessly affected by him. She is angry, child-like, demanding, puppy-faced, looking teased and a royal queen.
Junoon -
- Rishabh's junoon is to hide away under his mask or be a recluse in his cave. His junoon is also to conserve his Super Ego. Those who strike it, they are GONE! That's why MB has been the target. She questioned his thought-process, his way of living.
- Madhu's junoon is to fight for others cares without any thought for her. She goes to insane limits. Take the case of Mukund, Shamsher Malik... and now it is RK and her standing up to restore his faith in his friend and care-taker Ganesha'.and soon a day is going to come when she will decide to take care of Rishu, when she understands that Rishabh's way of living is not a living but a coping to live through'..her eternal fight with Rishabh.
