My reviews 

And the plot thickens My Dear Watson!!

Sultan broke RK's car windscreen. RK suspected Madhu's involvment in ratting him out to her supposed lover. Madhu confronted Sultan about the difficult position he put her in front of RK and everyone. And Sultan did one more Act to take RK's ire to the hilt, he presented the windscreen to RK in Madhu's name. Then what...the resting lion(RK) had to roar double time. RK now wants to cross all the limits as its time to do so.

Okay...now I believe what the news stories were saying...that Sultan will create havoc in Madhu and RK's life.

Madhu still keeps Sultan's involvement hidden. I completely understand that. Anything related to Underworld is always dark. You go deeper and deeper into it and would not come back like touch and go...unless one is extremely smart. Madhu has really hit a swamp.

RK informed his mother. He wants to tell her what Madhu did. Well atleast he spoke to her rather than just walking to his room all in anger. Liked that. CVs pls continue in the same fashion. MAke RK more and more open before his mom, atleast that way she can correct at each of his wrong thoughts like today she admonished him to keep his limits.

Bittuji and Radhaji, though sympathetic to Madhu and apathetic to RK's harangue and idiotic acts, now convinced that Madhu is not all that "Doodh ki Dhuli" and RK is not all that wrong. Bittuji's face was something to watch for...he was disappointed with both RK and Madhu. You could see his disgust with RK's harangue and his dismay at Madhu's action. After all now what can one think if one has no clue what's going on from Madhu's end. Radhaji too was clueless as to what to make of it. I totally get it. Bittuji and Radhaji at the most may distance themselves away these two as they will not know who is right and who is wrong...I totally agree with that, but that does not mean they close their eyes. Can Bittuji not saunter to Chawl and ask Padmini and Madhu, what's going on...Afterall he said he will act as MAdhu's brother...Bittuji where are your senses ?!!!!

Precap: Disgusting RK again takes to the bottle. But finally, the idiot is asking himself, why is he so hurt and bothered with her moving on. Idiot needed this much of external prodding and hurt to kick himself out of his obstinate mind to ask himself what makes him so hinged to Madhu.

The Power of Superstar and his warning to Madhu...will complain to Association. That is what he did with Trishna. He had to remind me that. Now who is going to remind him that he does frequent Pack-ups causing all losses ? For God's sake where is the Producer warning Bittuji atleast if not RK ??

Sultan and his team is just being the catalyst at this point. Catalyst for dramatic reaction betweem RK and Madhu.

I would like Avinash Rekhi to don slightly looser shirt. This one was too tight for me to look at. Also he applied too much gel to his hair. Does he really want that much stiff and taut look ?!!!

More on Page 7...Elaboration of Plot requirements on RK's harangue and Madhu's silence and later lecture to Sultan

******************

Reading all your reviews, I see that everyone is just concentrating on RK's harangue, but no one is actually seeing the call for it. IMO it was required. Because when I was listening to him, I felt as if my boss was giving me a lecture for breaking protocol. Yes Rishabh Kundra used that kind of mocking+authoritative tone.

I would like to mention that...for a man who took his slaps seriously, having his car attacked to teach him a lesson and be threatened like this is ACTUALLY A BIG DEAL.

The Star who calls PACK UP at his whim, today was threatened, in broad daylight in front of the studio. It was slight to his honour. And what did RK do ?

• As the Superstar, he taught EVERYONE including the HAIRDRESSER that they and she better remember who he is and what power he holds, should they want their bread-winning work to continue on the sets. He used the word ASSOCIATION. We should ALL remember that RK on his sets is called RK Sir and not just RK. Only Madhu calls him RK.

• As the Ex-Husband of Madhu, he did not go ballistic like when Madhu slapped him before all the cast and crew. This time it was just a harangue. He took all his anger out rather than like previous time, to concentrate it into silence. Previously he had BAN imposed on Trishna. Madhu was nothing to him then. Now she was his Ex-Biwi and because of their ongoing antics; known to everyone, he forgave her.

We need to understand that Rishabh Kundra did not just act like the MAN, the Ex-Husband who was warned, he was also responsible to protect his Superstar Status. If he had not given out his warning to all,  if he had not given out the public speech like that, in matter of minutes, he would have been the BUTT of ridicule like the Previous time when people laughed at him on getting slapped by Madhu.

*************

As for Madhu keeping quite, the plot weave is like Bollywood Action movie Potbolier. Its like Manmohan Desai movie...AB-Vinode Khanna-Villain kind of movie...where Sultan (second hero) is creating problem more n more for Madhu (Heroine); and he is a good father and seemingly good person, but unknowingly he is creating hate for himself from RK (first hero). Its growing into a Huge misunderstanding like the Hindi movies. Now enter Bhujang (Villain); he will take advantage of the situation between the two. Total copy of typical potboiler of 80's.

Agree on RK wanting to maintain his star status but then his dialogue on her class etc did not go down well with me. Especially him taunting about her having the pleasure of living the lavish life when with himBut then he is mad in jealousy so cannot expect much from him. But MB standing and listening to everything without even quitting didn't go down well for me

Responded by Myself

But again think from his point of view...he does not know who did it...but whoever was it...was Madhu's ally. At one point of time, Madhu was associated with him and showed all class. Now suddenly he sees a classless act. What is one to think of it ? Tell me.

I am not advocating RK...but Public life, Public Image calls for certain measures for such cheap acts. When RK is cheap, he is able to answer his cheapness. When cheap things happen to him, he takes care of it in his manner. He went to Police Custody in all elan, though he was seething in anger. Today too he was seething in anger, but he gave a performance for all to register what he spoke and not what they saw. That is called brand-building. And Madhu did acknowledge that power. She acted prudently today before RK the Superstar. It comes naturally when one is working in those conditions. We television viewers may not feel it seeing it from our living room, but I could sense the tension for all there...

Its too bad that ST and his production manager go for low-budget cars for RK the Super Star...that I call as production PROPS overlook. They need to pay attention to the Props as well.
