Padmini-Shamsher ki shaadi mein Ballu deewana. Balraj Hungama Starts in RK Action Film.
Events of the episode
- Roma is caught by Balraj and held captive by his men at Ratna Studios. Balraj and his men then leave the premises to attend Padmini-Shamsher's wedding. At the chawl, everyone is getting ready for the marriage in peace as Roma has told them that she will reach the marriage venue by herself after running the errands that she set out to finish.
- Trishna and Madhu are dressed and then later get Padmini and Shamsher ready for the marriage. Padmini and Shamsher as the Dulha-Dulhan look great. Must watch seen. See the poster below by Zorica, how the daughers are getting the mother ready and how the bride and groom look beautiful.
- The daughters and the parents reach the marriage venue over City outskirts. Cannot describe the set. People need to watch the episode to check the set creation and decoration. The 4 Bhatias reach the marriage venue in another car. Madhu receives them. There are no other Baaraatis except the close family members. Only workers present at the venue, who later are shown to be as thugs of Balraj who have tied up real workers.
- Madhu then tries contacting Roma and RK who are the only ones missing from near family. Wonder why Bittuji is not present. Roma is unreachable. But RK calls her. Madhu discloses to RK that her mother was apprehensive as she dreamt that the Shaitan is back to avenge himself. RK asks her to tell all and ends knowing that Madhu's real dad's name is Balraj Singh Choudhary, who is none other the producer he appointed for producing Trishna's movie.
- Here at the Mandap, Balraj comes dressed as the Dulha himself and takes everyone as hostage to his drama. Shamsher, who had set out to protect Padmini is helplessly tied in ropes when he relents to Balraj's threat of shooting down Padmini.

Episode Reviews
Action drama continues in RK Action Film of his Saasuma-Sasurji marriage. :)
A grand Shaadi ka Venue arranged WITH NO BAARAATI from bride or groom's sides. Very Private Ceremony with close relatives only. Why O Why? Because RK is a superstar and everything related should be away from Public eyes. That's one explanation I can give to a lavish set minus none of Padmini and Shamsher's close friends absence from the mandap, including their close friend Sudhakar or Divakar from the chawl. The other reason could be that Venue had that grand set up for Balraj and his Baaraat.
Roma is ambushed just as I expected. What purpose she has now. Well she is left and Bittuji is left. So I guess these two are the ones who will bring the Police later on.
Padmini and Shamsher as the Dulha-Dulhan were really looking beautiful. Kala teeka laga doon taaki koi nazar na lage. Sigh!!! Madhu and Trishna did not think of and see Balraj ki buri Nazar lag gayi. :( But the way Padmini and Shamsher looked at each other at the car, awesome. I liked it very much. Later when Shamsher went to defend Padmini, that anger was pleasure to watch.
So the dream has a significance attached. Hmmm! everything gets attached ti RK. So BSC sent flowers to Trishna at his residence because he can know Trishna is hiding about heroine offer. Now Padmini dreams about BSC so that Madhu can tell RK about Balraj and RK can know how they have landed in soup....Hmmm!! Chalo I will take it in the name of entertainment.
And why were Trishna and Madhu not pulling Balraj's (the unknown man's) hands off their mother when he was touching her face, instead of shouting their lungs out. Such a filmy scene...yelling and doing nothing because they have to wait for hero to rescue the damsels in distress. They just need to yell more in challenging dialogue deliveries.
And the most interesting character of the day was SIKKY. Wohooo!!!! (Let's party !!!) He called Dips..."You are also a Chawl-waali" and I brought such an expensive Baaraat to your Chawl. He also called his father that he can find kinship in Padmini and Shamsher as they too are getting remarried like you and Mummiji. LOL!!! It was hilarious and soothing for me to listen to his verbatim. Dips and Kuku never expected that.
Again I enjoyed the episode. Emotionally I was involved, until Sikky made me LOL and then I again quitened down only to raised heartbeats after Balraj started giving all eerie feelings with that no-talk barging in inebriated condition. It was enough to send me shiver down the spine...making me think from groom and bride standpoint...what is the meaning of this ??? My heartbeat actually raised around the same time, Shamsher's face changed...when he senses something really out of place. His pleasant face changed to panic face.
Justification of 25 lakhs spent for the high voltage drama
And as for the lakhs spent in the current Action Scenes and Set decoration for hungama around Padmini and Shamsher marriage...Simple. ACTION Scenes COST a LOT. The action director and his Stuntsmen, do not come cheap. They risk their lives and hence the cost shoots up. There is a marked premium there. And all those guns, bombs/explosion, bike scene, planks, safety nets...will cost a lot. If you ask me for the set creation and the action scene, 22 lakhs is not that expensive. One average sized marriage Pandal set up with decoration costs 5 lakhs easily. Don't you agree. And here the space was quite wide...So if you see in that sense, it is quite cheap.
And now coming to the crores that Sourabh Tewari spent in the initial action scenes in May and RK introduction week. He had to shoot partly in Ramoji Film City in Hyd and then FilmCity in Mumbai. And all of those scenes were ACTION scenes. So he ended up spending Crores along with Promo Shoots and all Promo campaigns.

Analysis of Balraj track vis-a-vis the Prophecy and the story.
By Adhyaay-Chapter
Doubt:
As per the prophecy in the first episode, the astrologer tells Balraj "agar beti hui, toh jaise jaise uska naam hoga, tu sharmsaar hoga"
Madhu, therefore, was never meant to be the cause of his vinaash. As per this prophecy, she was supposed to bring him shame.
And for this prophecy to come to fruition, it is important that Balraj be alive and see his daughter's fame turn into his own shame. While I am enjoying the current epis, this does not really add up. Unless I am missing something here...
By SD
In part answering to Adhyaay_Chapter
About prophecy...
Its a twisted word play by the Guruji. He said the same exact thing that he knew as Balraj would do. Since the mother-son hated girl childs, they would have felt sharmsaar each day it was growing.
And the soap-writers cannot fulfill that prophecy or make it real in this 21st century. They just have to lampoon the prophetic element driving Balraj and hence the more negation by calling him "paagal".
The underlying social message cannot be ignored and Madhu doesn't have to become a superstar to tell her stupid MCP father that you are a Crap...but then yes, for viewer entertainment, she as RK's wife is now powerful.
I am playing Merry Go Round here. Already played a round with Zoya.
- Seems Balraj gets killed. Hard to believe, but maan lete hain. From my point of view, Balraj was supposed to be executed or get jailed himself when he tries to kill Madhu or Padmini. (Said it in my Ashes Post). With only 3 crores left from 300 crs, he was already coming to an end. Sharmsaar to waise hi ho gaya ye hungama karke.
- What would be the twist that saves Padmini from getting jailed ?
- Will Padmini marry Shamsher ?
- Seems RK will definitely get his Saas and Sasur married, otherwise he will be unable to have a Saat phera marriage with Madhu. If that doesn't happen, he will not be able to leave. If he cannot leave, Radha will not stop him. If Radha & Bhatia Co. not stop him through some secret revelation, story will not move forward.
- And what happens to Trishna ? She can still keep the balance token amount given by Ballu to Trishna. What will Roma say to her ?
- So assuming, some twist saves Padmini and she gets married to Shamsher, then RK can marry Madhu. That will make him go for executing "Let's leave" plan. Radha ban jaayegi Rukawat and she might drop some bomb before her Rishu and Madhu. Will that bomb be about Mohan Kundra's dreams ? What was in that note paper that Madhu slyly read?
We are again back to the point where we started. So let's enjoy Ballu drama as he gets killed because this drama hold a meaning to Rishbala.
Till date Rishabh used to think, what was the reason, for the intertwining of fates between Rishabh and Madhu. He did not get an answer until he fell in love with her and found out that she is the one who is rescuing him from his abyss of hurt towards abandonment. Now when he saves Madhu from Balraj, at that time, he might realize, that not only he got to be saved, even he has become indirectly Madhu's saviour as the whole drama of Padmini -Shamsher marriage is a good riddance of Balraj from their lives (Padmini-Madhu-Trishna).
So Purpose behind Rishbala meeting is Mutual Help- this comes to a conclusion through Balraj.
So far all problems solved wherever we knew the story. What we don't know yet is Mohan Kundra story. And who is the Vault of Secrets and Story driver ever since Rishbala got married...Ms Radhaji
Radhaji and Padmini who had advised Madhu to stick to RK and keep going with marriage have so far achieved what they want. Now they already tacitly promised to each other in Chawl scene that they will not let Rishabh leave Radhaji ever now that son reconciled with mother. The only thing that can hold RK back is if something about Mohan Kundra's dreams is thrown/shown to RK. That's my gut feel.
More on Balraj
Balraj...why do we have to think he is GREAT ? Those who think he has potential, should see initial episodes. He was nothing even then. Shamsher in the train, very easily outsmarts Balraj and B could not do anything. B has brains but not the right sense. He fails because he doesn't have principles and he is the laadla of his mother with no brothers as male competitors and no other men as his mentors. For such a male chauvinist, psychologically the guy had already set out on his path of decadence. Decadence in his character is the cause of his dwindling of fortune...its like revisiting our history as to how the kings/Nawabs/Shahs lost to British East India Company back then. Its like we need to watch Shatranj ke Khiladi...(Satyajit Ray Movie). One doesn't have to be a Hannibal per se. A decadent character as Balraj is also enough to cause us displeasure, when we think in terms of Padmini - a simple woman from Motihari.
And why does RK have to deal with Balraj - the stupid feudal lord and his mental games. So much below his mental level. I rest my opinion there. Actually AA in her FF "Always Yours" so easily had RK controlling Madhu's feudal control. As in any given day, a city bred man and his mind is always better than a village nincompoop. And honestly the story-writers did not change his character. I went and watched old episodes. Balraj, the man is same.
The new montage

I need to get my head checked. I did not get this feeling at all when I looked at the new beautiful serene montage.
My immediate feeling was that RK is ushering Madhu into the limelight. She is looking down, not in his eyes, nor is she smiling or looking relaxed, she is unsure even apprehensive.
Hope what you are saying is the true meaning behind the montage. 
MM,
Well at least, we both got the same feeling. It is something related to new journey, new time. The earlier montage had Madhu all apprehensive looking at us. Full on. And behind her Rishabh is confident looking at us, which could be watching you Madhu also.
Now this montage is where Rishabh is kinda leaning into her and her eyes looking down can also be because of shyness. It definitely has unsure feeling, but there is so much warmth in that close-up. Its no longer them looking at us. They are immersed into each other.
At Prophecy by Ananya
gave this whole balraj death and madhu related prophecy a lot of thought while my way back home from work...and concluded that by killing balraj in this manner and not fulfilling the prophecy, they are delivering a social message to address the MCP thought process of, 'A girl child is a bane, and brings only burden and destruction to her family' , which is still prevalent to a considerable extent.
To be honest, I was initially not happy with his death track. But once I saw the underlying social message, it made perfect sense. And agree with you that Madhu does not have to be a superstar to destroy Balraj. A monster like him, deserves what Padmini is going to do to him. Superstar or no Superstar.
