RK is relieved that work is done and also Balraj did not reveal anything about it to Madhu. Upon Madhu's asking, RK says the work assigned was about a small acting opportunity. Madhu goes on to tell RK that Balraj was calling her his daughter-like and the events around his coming.

Episode Review

Big dilemma!
By Zoya
Do anmol ratan- ek Rk aur duja Madhu!!!
Aaj Sab Malamaal ho gaye!!!
Assuming RK has done 15-20(i guess a lil too much) movies in 5 years,
(15-20)movies+endorsements-taxes-OTT family expenditure=100 cr. + property. Is it a balanced equation?
Keeping aside my practical thinking,counting on the fact that RK's dream will not materialize, I must say that RK feeling le gaya yaar meri aur Madhu ki!!!
"Har kisiko mukammal jahan nahi milta, kisiko sab kuch mil jaata hai lekin pyaar nahi milta"
RK believing in the above statement, took another step towards moving closer to his and Madhu's world. He distributes his property amongst the Bhatias, Maliks, Bittuji and the film fraternity.
Aaj jaake mujhe Madhu ki keemat pata chali hai.. Any guesses? Dipali's so-called chawl se uthayi hui gandagi, do-kaudi ki ladki has become priceless!!!
And Madhu and RK both were right.. RK told he loves Madhu more that she loves him-- very very true!!
Madhu's apprehension that how she would manage him and nurture their love so that it keeps blooming for the entire lifetime was also very valid and must say quite a daunting thought. Here was a man who gave up literally everything for her and her love...
Coming to Trishna, the precap turned out to be a dream as expected. And she made it very clear today, that her dreams and family are equally important and that she cannot prioritize one for the other. Both should co-exist for her.. She is still shocked and doesn't know how to break the news of her film offer-what to tell and what not to... Roma sensing that something is amiss, decides to find out what it is, only to find herself bathed in paison ki baarish..
Today, we got to see
RK prioritizing Madhu over money, name,fame
Madhu prioritizing RK over family and other r'ships
and Trishna wants the best of both worlds- money and family.
But they are all similar..Their choices are different but they are all selfish.Each one is following their heart and trying to fulfill their dreams!!!
BY Myself
The best scene was Paison ki baarish over Roma. God! I envied her so much...I wanted to go and stand in her place. Sacchi!!!!! Oh! I wish it were me there...
I think in movies too, we had such imaginations ...like Sridevi playing in money dump ...the money she imagines to get when she sells of her hubby to Urmila.. Oh! I am imagining Scrooge in Duck Tales wallowing in his dungeons of notes and coins...
Money Money...Everywhere...One day I found a 20 $ bill on the subway steps at 2:00 AM in th dead of night...and no one was around. I was overjoyed at me being lucky with that find, that I saved it as if it was my treasure. LOL!!!
Re RK's Will writing/execution in progress
Obviously RK is in an emotional state and hence making a will that is equivalent of him negating everything in favour of only one asset, which is Madhu. So RK is still acting on the principle to beat his past experience. He does not want to be unlucky in love and hence sacrificing the greatest happiness; his love for cinema to get love. He is willing to go by that bargain. Yes, that is his negotiation with his predicament for his future. In his negotiation, he is very much clear with his condition when speaking to Madhu. She needs to come away and abide by the life style he presents her...because Madhu did say she can leave the world for him and RK jumped at that and asked her to come away, right away. We should not forget that they both sealed their love in a very twisted manner. I still remember the Dec 14th episode, how much pain we all underwent. For me the amount of pain I underwent for the pain they inflicted on each other in the name of love for each other, I am now willing to see all this drama, where now I enjoy the results of the pain and silliness they inflicted on each other.
And obviously, all this emotion will go away and Logic will replace it when once his Insecurity about being Unlucky in Love is going to be resolved. And logically speaking this is the primary track for RK being played at this point. It started on Dec 11th and now its Jan 10th.
For Madhu, who really wants to possess him and love him (well, I will go by her dreams about him and her desires) and who doesn't have big dreams for herself, she is already having a problem...if she is gonna survive, to live to dream all this. Her problem also started on Dec 19th. And this is Madhu's primary track for herself.
What will happen who knows, when logic will replace the emotion for the two love birds ?
And about the Will execution itself...it is still work in progress
- The lawyer has to write it
- RK has to sign it.
- Someone has to be witness to it. Will it be Madhu ?
And before the lawyer returns with the will typed and all, a new drama must have started...like Madhu questioning RK why does he have to think that he is Unlucky in Love.

Hopefully that will get RK's brain kickstarted and some real life logic will prevail.
Interestingly I always thought once Madhu finds out that RK tested her love by proposing walking away from it all, she will ask him to prove his love by staying back for the family.
Another thought- when we love someone , we instinctively try to provide him the best and all the luxuries in the world. Best clothes, best house, best education...
RK loves Madhu ...will he be happy seeing her toil in kitchen every single day struggling to gather everyday neceessities knowing that he could have showered her with so much more?
That's one point of view...I mean dekhne ka nazariya.
Not everyone considers those as luxuries. For ex: I am certainly not after BEST. I am very much okay with what I can enjoy and absorb...I don't have much and yet I feel rich. Infact material luxury starts to suffocate me.
Anyways, why should we think that the man will not be able to rebuild his life with a different career. Wouldn't he know better than his wife, what is the cost of Ghee and Oil when he wants himself to be fed that luxuriously three times a day.
Another thing...when we all said he tested Madhu's love.
I later said to myself that I was wrong in saying so...because the love confession shown to us was not flowing from his side. It was coerced by Madhu. And then under his emotional weak moments, when he is not that ready to actually say it, his insecurity gets the better of him and he pounces on Madhu who was asking for it. She wanted to tell him so much that she loves him a lot...but does she know what it is to love him(from his angry viewpoint) ? And this is where RK becomes selfish and takes advantage of her, just because she is that much into him driving him crazy by not leaving him alone to his thoughts, his fate wherever it takes him to. Since theirs was a difficult love story to happen, it would have been something like this for them.
And Madhu loves him like he is a God and allows her to be judged...this is where I am really thinking how she is gonna show her upset at finding out whatever she finds out. I guess as always, she would forgive him, crying and yet driving the remorse deep within him for acting on his insecurities. I guess, this time she will express her displeasure to him for judging her incorrectly...I am just thinking...
Question of the Day
That RK in a span of 5 years of Stardom could have a wealth of 90 crores...is kind of indigestible to me. How much does a superstar charge per movie ? And ofcourse there is income from endorsements and showbiz events. That 90 crores is left for his disposal other than the property maintaining and maintenance of a luxurious life style...is making my eye balls grow bigger and bigger.
And what about tax payments to Govt ?
That makes me want to find out how much actually the actors make money per year. So if a movie does a 100 cr business, and if actor had a commission payment attached to it...he would get x% of the returns along with his acting fee. But did RK ever invest that kind of money for his movies with the producer...
Come on RK...cannot be an excellent money manager as well so that he could think of money minting schemes with the regular income that he earns.
Never mind people...this is the financial analyst in me ...raking its head.
Responded by dramacrazy12 towards my query
I did not think that was too much...
Based on rumours Salman Khan charges something between 30 Crore to 70 Crore per movie along with % cut of profits above a predecided revenue . Hrithik is said to have earned 100 Crores for Agneepath , Salman Khan is supposed to have charged similar amount for his next movie with Ramesh Taurani.
Each movie is a commitment of about 9-12 months and most stars are able to manage 2-4 movies per year if they work nonstop like RK. If I assume that RK made 50 crore (median) per movie on average ...he made 100-200 crores per year. Let us assume tax washes out his income from investments, endorsements and showbiz activities. He is still left with 100-200 crores per year...over 5 years that would mean 500 crores-1000 crores. With all the moochers and wastrels around him, not to mention the OTT lifestyle...it is completely probable that he ends up with 90 crores. Infact if you think about it it actually sounds on the lower side.
Glad to know you are a financial analyst so am I.
I don't remember the rates much now...but back in 2006, the only thing I remember is that I was paying 6.50/- or 8.50/- for 500 gm of Heritage Milk packet on the weekends. Now I don't know what it costs for that same 1/2 litre of milk. Rent, we know it depends on the area...where we take the house.
So today's 90 crores talk...almost started me want to catch up with reality in India now. Of course I can ask mom...but then there are always other things to talk about.
So I found these random rates for some of the actors and actresses
Then I saw that this is the Minimum Support prices available for the farmers
It has 12.50/- per kg of Rice, but in open market, i think it is around 35.00/- kg. Right ?
Then I read this. People are really surprised that we can still buy something for Re1
Check out the stuff that a rupee can buy
A rupee? When a crore is the new lakh, who cares about a rupee? Well, it's still money and therefore it can buy stuff, some very interesting stuff. ET on Sunday hit the markets in India's cities, shopping with a rupee and came up with an eye-popping list. We also looked back at what Rs 1 could buy in earlier times. Answer: a lot, a meal for two, for example.
Thinking of inflation and depreciating Rupee value...I can think of one thing I remember...
The price of one egg in local kirana shop in Hyderabad in 1983 I recall was 0.35 Paisa. I guess now the price is between Rs 3 to 4 (as in 300 paisa to 400 paisa). So inflation or depreciation of Rupee is around 10 times for an egg over last 30 years.
And my mother was saying last year that no maid servants would agree to work for less than Rs 800 to 1000/- now for jhaado-pocha and bartan maanjna in Hyd -tarnaka area.
And the article above says ...a crore is the new lakh...so what's the dip here ? 100 times ...scary.
So if I think in these terms...the rates of the actors do not seem surprising to me now...
Anyways...none of this digging made me any happy. I still feel scared at thinking of life in India and if one marries and consequent responsibilities.
Now I do get the feel, how some of our reviewers are unable to get out the reality factor for RK when he did not keep any money for Madhu.
But then...the zindadil will just say...zindagi jeeni chaahiye, sirf sochna nahin...aur zindagi kat hi jaati hai...jaise taise. Kuch bhi ho himmat honi chaahiye, jigar hona chaahiye aur jeene ka matlab hona chaahiye. Right ?
