Episode Reviews

Myself

Another must watch episode. Good Drama.  Hope Radhaji does not leave before Dipali is fixed and sees what Sikky is doing. Dipali is truly a leech totally lacking all kind of sense except for lusting RK.

My grudge over today's episode. I needed Rishabh Kundra to feel even for a minute that his mother has decided to leave him for good. And the CVs did not focus on this aspect. That's just bad.

And finally ...now I get to know...my question is answered ...after 6 months of waiting. Where did Radhaji come from with her luggage cases when made entry into the show in that bottle breaking scene between RK and Madhu.  So she flew down from Delhi. Wow!!! 

>>>>>I am going to be hit by what I see in today's episode. So yes, I am bracing myself.

Yes as I explained in the previous EP discussion with that line...it happened that way. It was pain all over the place. I was telling Zoya and Preet to brace up to see the hit. And thank God!!  was able to make peace for myself with venting out those thoughts for myself.  I am now okay and also was able to enjoy the episode. 

Because ...the positive points are, he is unable to drink. He broke the bottle and this time his mommy was not there to taunt him to go and drink and get answers. And another thing...per the precap scene, RK has NOT lost it, he very reasonably handed the letter to Madhu. And that is a LOT of HOPE of Camarederie of DIFFERENT kind for ME. That SCENE removed the UNHINGING for me and BINDED Rishbala for me 

Hey, I am going over the episode in my mind.

Actually speaking, its very beautiful. Very Beautiful Episode. For one...When Madhu came into RK Mansion...The feel was so much there of the family feel. The Scene between Madhu and Radhaji was so poignant, they seemed such a family together...the duo against RK and RK alone and yet those two women important to him. Madhu infact felt right when Radhaji showed her anger, though she felt bad for RK. 

I hope people agree here, but I see Madhu healed a lot because of the three confrontations with Rishabh since last Friday and the two slaps, one to her from her mother and one to RK from Radhaji. Even Madhu needs to realize the gravity of her spending two nights away from home. If Radhaji was talking about a woman's "samman" in Madhu's defence, even Madhu should realize that RK has just started talking about it and she gave him the reason...what if people working at the studio and also living in the chawl, start blabbing about her night errands. Atleast RK raising a ruckus has put an end to public talk as now Padmini taunts her and RK makes public scenes. All these consequences have brought out the old Madhu. Now I think we can agree on that she doesn't look depressed anymore. Do you agree?

I again loved the fact ...that RK may not think of his Mom overtly. But she is HIS Mom is ALWAYS PERIOD to him.  Its a strange kind of Love Rishabh has for people important to him. His Mom, Bittuji and Madhu. He hurts them, insults them and takes the hit from him.  He LETS them LEAVE ...like when Bittuji decided to leave him...and when they come back, he again accepts them.   Very strange person he is.   And in the end...he does look a Boy and sometimes a Man.

Now I need to really see a calmer Rishabh Kundra with his attitude full-on and yet caring to people he thinks are important to him. And I just wish, Madhu never calls Rishabh Kundra as RK...Please Madhu ...just call him Rishabh Kundra or Rishabh or something you coin, but no RK or Rishu...Please...

Did I make any sense at all ??? Whatever, I just get a good feel in my mind.

Inspite of all that insults, fight, slap, both RK and Madhu had a lot of non-verbal communication and they perfectly understood each other. They still keep on reminding each other that fight is just between the two and yet they spill it all over the place. Liked it when he reminded Madhu the rules and asked why she is involving his mom ? That was so like Madhu reminding him why he is making a drama by coming to her place.  RULES of ENGAGEMENT are SO clear between them. New Camaraderie...to remind each other ROE (Rules of Engagement) that third parties are not to be allowed into their spat...and that is what is going on now.

From where I stand while everything Radha said was correct and justified but it was an over-reaction given the circumstances. However I feel for her since she is frustated with her obstinate son and today her anger and frustation runneth over. Why did she have to ask forgiveness from Madhu? How exactly is RK inhumane in today's context? Yes...madhu did save RK's life but RK returned the favor in full in Ballu incident...why does everyone seem to forget that? Why did RK not ask Radha to question Madhu and see if anything he said was untrue about her spending nights outside and lying to everyone? What gave Madhu right to act superior and righteous when she was in wrong? Did I feel wrong when it seemed that Madhu was initially saddened but then gloated at RK's plight?

Today I felt an odd sense of disgust for Madhu ...something I have always felt for RK. I have always felt that RK should face the consequences of his actions and learn to value Madhu. Strangely today I felt the same for Madhu...I wanted RK to walk away from her and leave her with her own stupidity so that she can suffer the consequences of getting entangled with a gangster and understand what RK was trying to tell her in his own crude way.

Responded by myself

@Bold and underlined

Pooja, precisely the reasons why 

• RK did not think of Radhaji in his room, he did not ponder on any of his mom's words.
• Why he thought about the mysterious man in Madhu's life
• Why he thought about Madhu's words that she is disgusted at herself for loving him once"

Today, infact we got our OLD RK back...thinking objectively. 

Emotionally, I have already explained, why he lets people run over him when he is not wrong. Its strange kind of love this man has for them...he mocks them for loving him for wrong reasons and he takes their hits for showing their anger on immediate wrong reasons but underlying right reasons.  This effectively ricochets back onto the people about their thoughts about Rishabh Kundra, that when they realize what he said, makes them understand him more and wants them to love him more.  Think about it...that's why he is charming, He is always a lot of steps ahead than rest of the people, though he looks so brash with his acts.  If Madhu picks her people, even RK picks his people and calls them a family.  Effectively it was good of him to take the hit because underlying truths are visible to him and he needs to build bridges that he burnt.

I tell you he is one bored guy. Needs drama in his life all the time. Give him a tough Producer, tough Director and Tough Co-Actress.  All have become too mild with him. Gosh!!! why don't show a competitor to his superstar status. He is too bored and he is boring us with ruckus and yet spewing with gripping entertainment. Unbelievable, I tell you. 

By apolloartemis:

For the first time in a long time, I actually felt sorry for RK today. Indeed, VD and DD's acting, along with the actress playing Radha almost bought tears to my eyes.

The whole 10 minute monologue for me was all about RK gauging Madhu's reactions. He knows she is not a good actress and wanted to see how she would react to his words, especially the taunts about the new person in her life. And lets be honest, in his mind, what else would she be at his house for? In a way its sad that the RK was old has been reduced to breaking things in order to retain Madhu's attention. But at the same time, it makes sense too- in his mind Madhu does not rise to his taunts about their past anymore (what 2 weeks after the revenge drama in MBverse? Fast recovery time, especially in RK's eyes), so he has to become physical in order for her to react. So the taunts about the phone. Like Shri said, I loved how he went back to the old definitions of their fights- it is between him and her. A welcome respite from when he included the rest of the world, including Dipali, to make her suffer. And the funny thing is? I got the sense that he welcomed that- that the fight was about the two of them. RK has moved on in a sense. Its no longer about humiliating Madhubala. Its about getting her back into his orbit, getting her to focus on him again. And to do that, he's blocking the rest of the world, like he did before.

The she talked about the detectives, then she talked about how there is nothing between them except poison. And RK lashed out. In his mind, how could Madhu say there was nothing between them, when not ever 3 weeks (?) ago, she was ready to leave her entire world behind for him? Can you imagine, for someone like RK, who already had abandonment issues, what that statement would have felt like? Before, he had seen her with a man. But now, he had seen Madhu laugh and smile again- something he was had said with confidence would never happen, because, he, RK, had shattered her. So of course, he lashed out. And he aimed at the one thing Madhu thought she had left- her self-respect. It's a big flashy neon sign, and RK will always go for that area because it is one that Madhu always reacts to.

But Radha was there today. And she told a few home truths. VD's expressions were amazing in this scene-pain, but hiding it. And you could tell Madhu hurt for him. But Madhu is like RK- we can talk about how she poked the wound-of course she did? Why wouldn't she? RK played with her life and broke her, and she has not put herself back together. And whoever she will be afterwards, she will never be the Madhu of before. Its only natural that she wanted to cause him pain. I don't think she really meant a single word. She might feel disgusted with herself, but for being fooled by RK, not for loving him. If she had hated herself for loving him, then she would stop herself from putting RK before her families safety, which she has done by lying to them about her encounter with Sultan and why she did not go to the police.

I do wish though, that the CV's would move on and start the realization track- even the bare inklings of RK realizing that Madhu means something to him. Forget the emotional drain of watching a couple you have invested in for more than 5 months go down the drain, forget the fear that gangsters are taking over the show, watching RK keep hitting the bottle gets tedious very very quickly.

By Gurtiluv

it was a good episode I had written to Raghuvir Shekawat about the discrepancies with what RK had told Radhaji earlier that he could never do anything that would offend his father. Once he said that I thought the revenge track was over since no one would say something involving there dead parent and lie about it. But than he did the whole unwedding drama and I wrote to Raghuvir ji about my confusion. Would Mohan Kundra approve of this? Doesnt RK know that? I think in today's episode they tried to show that he got so involved in his passion for revenge, love jealously that he sometimes forgets who he is and what he wants to become. This is no justification but I thank the cvs for providing a explanation.

RK's Heart

Do I hear Madhu's voice downstairs? My life, My salvation !!! Is she really here? I can't believe it!!

Uff !! Why does Dipali have to be around. Who does she think she is talking like that with my Madhu?

Oh Madhu!!! What a sight for my sore eyes. You are back home again. Come let me whisk you upstairs. I have missed you far too long.

I have so much to tell you, so much to apologize for, ask your forgiveness. I want you, I need you, you are my sole reason of existence. I want to hold on to you so tight that you will not leave me every again. My angle, my love, my biwi, my junglee billi. You are only mine.

RK's EGO

There she waltz in like she has never left. I wonder what brought her here to RK the superstar's home. Ah, now I remember. I broke her phone and she couldn't complete the call to that green eyed monster. Does she think I have phones lying around here just for her. How dare she gate crash uninvited demanding my attention. What is security doing? Is she such a glutton for punishment that she cannot get enough of insult. Set per bhi hai, idhar bhi. Why can't she leave me alone?  I hope those people have done their job right and got me my information about her whereabouts. Once I have it, I will show her RK kya cheese hai. Madhu ki har baat ki khabar rakhne ka HAQ SIRF MERA HAI. I AM RK THE SUPERSTAR.

Agree. Its lovely, just that it caused RK a slap LOL . Bittuji thought it would be cute to have those tapori's spy on Madhu like that.  Or may be it was Bittuji's revenge for the slap he got from RK.

armummy : thanks zorica for including dips today . I liked her with book and glasses so refreshing for a serial. The poster looks great

Krithika : Zorica, Here Deepali looks like one of those school teachers who students really hate..especially with those glasses and that look

Charu : true ! liked Dipali very much ..she looked classy with glasses 

SD : Dips saree looks such a cheap synthetic saree. What happened to saree designs and prints these days ? And because of these many number of comments, Dips character is always assured and she will never be retired. They might send Radhaji away for few days just so that Dips drama with RK gets intensified and Sikky becomes a man. Now that VD has gone for vacation, hope the banked scenes are not for Dips and RK.

VD is such a bad singer  He couldn't sing the song properly.

Anyways, listen and watch to the song. Interesting lyrics.
