Ek taraf Madhu-Trishna ka Patch-up, toh Doosri taraf RK-Dips-Madhu ka Break-up

Events of the Episode

1. Yesterday's scene of RK and Madhu's lovey-dovey moments at the Studio continue. They are sweet nothings and yet loveable moments as RK wanted to drop Biwi at the Mehndi ceremony and he can't because, he had to be at the shooting. Madhu tells him that she understands and leaves.
2. At chawl, the daughters force Shamsher to have a little Mehndi done. Mehndi Hassan appiles a dot over Shamsher's hand.
3. Trishna is lovingly applying coconut oil over Padmini's henna applied hands. Madhu yearns for the same and when Trishna passes by, she shows her hands too meekly. Trishna sees the hands and wants to go away, but when she sees Madhu withdrawing her hands, she applies in all overwhelming affection for her sister. The sisters have tears and they hug. Me too felt so emotional.
4. Then Roma starts the Navraji Majhi song to which the two sisters dance beautifully.
5. Later in the night after the end of function, Roma corners Trishna and asks where the money came from. Trishna ends up telling that she got the movie offer. Roma asks Trishna to look into her eyes and reveal the details of the offer. Trishna throws a tantrum that no one trusts her and won't believe her and thinks that she is capable of hurting everyone in her family.
6. At RK mansion, as RK waits for Madhu, Dips the stalker enters his room again and their usual banter starts...her aiming to hurt him and him reacting. Just that today, RK instead of angrily shouting at her, shows her his confidence that he has won love now which Dipali has spurned 5 years back. Upon further prodding by Dipali, RK boasts to Dipali that he tested Madhu the way she suggested and has found that Madhu loves Rishabh and not RK.  
7. Just that to his dismay, Madhu has been overhearing all of this. We see a shell-shocked Madhu's face.

Episode Reviews

Episode is A class. 

Emotional and very good acting by everyone. For some reason, everyone was looking so beautiful with their lovely attires today. All of them. Padmini, Shamsher, Roma, Trishna, Dipali, RK and Madhu...all glowing !

So it was VISUALLY , DRAMATICALLY and EMOTIONALLY  APPEALING today. BEAUTIFUL !!

Trishna - Madhu patch up was so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. I got so emotional.  The sisters couldn't help it...

Over RK-Dipali Equation Fixing Track

I always wanted Dipali to be kicked out from RK's life with his fights with her ...with Madhu present there watching both of them in RK Mansion...because RK did not get the chance to fight with Dips  with her becoming his Bhabi and him forcefully required to be gentleman and avoid all such talks at his home. He was able to fight Dipali regarding his success in his acting career where he succeeded and she failed, when she abandoned him for her career. Personal jilt in love was never addressed by RK, because he was busy becoming successful in career and moreover, she later became his Bhabhi, officially closing the venue for them to talk/fight.

Now this bitter fight with Dipali  in present times after Madhu's entry into his life, is allowing him to not to get into a tight spot with family and his Biwi being actually to be a witness to everyone that ...RK has not taken advantage of his Bhabhi's honour...if Dipali tries to slander RK as if he was seducing her etc...   

This track is all about RK's washing off his hands with Dipali forever. Because every love affair needs to have exit fights as well. And with his repeated fights with Dipali is making him lose his anger with Dipali for having jilted him in love.  

And today even if Dips is smirking at Madhu being so shocked and hurt, what she is not understanding is she has lost it permanently with RK. Because now RK is going to run after Madhu to win her back and not turn to Dipali like she may be dreaming.

Remember that movie...Julia Roberts one...My Best Friends Wedding...how Rupert Everett asks Julia...look behind you...is anyone running after you ? 

Ofcourse Dips is more evil than  Julia Roberts and she played a better psychological game with RK in her revenge plan ...but inadvertantly she showed RK what is more precious to him...his love for Madhu and her respect and honour in tact, her view about him or his anger and insecurities for all NON-MADHU items in his life. 

So peeps, be happy...Dipali -RK Equation is NOW OFFICIALLY FINISHED !! 

I am so happy now !!!!! Hurray!!!

Re Dips as RK's Ex-Flame (Ex-Mehbooba) 

I liked it today that RK told us out what he likes in Dips and how he will miss her.

So RK was attracted to Dipali's intelligent mind...the mind games she can induce when she talks in innuendos with a certain classy sense of humour of hers. 

So this goes with RK's character...when him had not much to lose or gain...he was attracted to craziness, challenges etc. In very recent times, we have seen him getting attracted to Balraj's crazy but smart ambulance idea ...only to knock senses to his mind...what is he doing with that crazy guy...Its a separate thing how Balraj makes RK get committed to him. 

Satisfaction to brain/mind is one important aspect of our overall happiness...without which, we can go crazy or depressed.

So RK likes anything that has a bit of game in it. This is consistent with character trait.  I made a long post on my apprehensions about RK's character on this trait and now that he loves Madhu, he needs to curb his desires for gaming. This was on episode where Balraj made his re-entry.

RK-Dips-Madhu ka Break-up

Finally I hope..we will have the much needed break up between the three regarding seeing them together in same quarters. RK quarters was getting to be habitated by RK and his two women...one a 4-phera Biwi and other Ex-mehbooba. All three hinged together.

Today too in the ending scene..Madhu the wife was walking away from the room, RK the husband was at the threshold of the room and Dipali inside the quarters, just like the time when RK brought Biwi to his quarters when Dipali wanted to spend the night with him in his room, adorning it with all candles, right under the nose of her husband Sikky, who still was inhabiting RK mansion.

• Only RK was clear that who gets to stay in his quarters. He asked his Biwi to stay there and he always used to ask Dipali to get out.
• But Shameless Dipali always used to barge in anytime of the day or night...even when husband and wife were in bed on their first day. Even Patranis or concubines have their own rooms. But never I could believe my eyes that this woman gets away by coming into his room...and shameless she and the inmates of RK...no one wonders or asks what the Bhabhi has to do in the Dewar's room.
• And Madhu the wife when not in love, would just let her aadha adhoora pati to have all conversations with this woman, she would wear her saree when she knew her husband would not like her wearing his ex-flame's saree and she wouldn't even remove that saree when RK asks her to. And when later she fell in love with her husband, even then she was telling RK to treat Dipali with respect and not shoo her away.

Overall Feedback to CVs sent to Colors TV, Sourabh Tewari and Gautam Hegde

Dipali was the worst character and track introduced by CVs to create drama. Seema Mishra must have impressed people with her acting, but her character to the story was plain disgusting and an unfathomable CLUNK to the Story. Because she rendered Rishabh Kundra the socially married person to an almost NAKAARA Napunsak, who couldn't keep the woman away from his quarters. She also rendered Madhu, the wife in love/devotion letting the woman roam around in their quarters freely as if none of it bothers her. Can any woman believe this ? I mean simple question is Ek Mayaan mein Do Talwaaren Kaisi ? Why Madhu would never understand this ?

No matter, how much interesting drama Dipali must have generated, but all of it was PLAIN CLUNK. 

CVs,

Please do register this feedback on permanent basis in your book and you RETIRE DIPALI. We don't need a character that just is clunky device. Treat this as a disapprobation for turning a husband and wife into Napunsaks at having been unable to stop her barging into their quarters any time. No amount of RK insecurities and Madhu innocence will actually allow me to overlook the fundamental CLUNK present in the story through Dipali. At real, I don't know how many husbands and wives could tolerate this drama.

By Zoya

Dipali ke paintaron aur jaadu ka hua antim-sanskaar!!!

The episode was fabulous today:)

RK-Madhu scene: I loved yesterday's episode RK-Madhu scene. Got to see RK stuttering and stammering in front of his Biwi and his keenness to know Madhu's opinion of the reel romantic scene(though indirectly,tedha jo hai) she witnessed. And finally she tells him that she understands its his work and that he should go ahead with it..

Madhu-Trishna and Chawl dance: It was a happy reunion for the two sisters. Nothing remembered, but the assumed khushiyon ki bahaar in their lives.. The dance was good and Madhu's patiala costume was quite better than the tacky anarkalis she is wearing of late..

Then comes the two parallel confrontation scenes- Trish-Roma at the chawl and RK-Dipz in RK's  dharamshala oops room..

Trish tells that the money is for the film offer she has received and Roma refuses to believe. Trish wards off the producer-related ques that Roma asks her by saying some new producer and finally Trish gets angry and asks her as to why she thinks that she is capable of only bad and walks away in a huff. 

RK-Dipz scene was as usual fabulous. Dipz was at her best, playing her usual old tricks(love in his life, his only weak point) that have worked till date. But today, RK shut her up and started flushing out the zeher in his heart, he had for her w.r.t. the love angle. For the first time, he tells her that she has lost him five years back and the intezaar in his life yielded him the best fruit.  It was too good to see a fearful and horrified Dipali when she knows that she has lost the battle she has been successfully waging for five years and that she can no longer unnerve him. And the evil laugh and the smirk when she realized Madhu has overheard their convo was just too good. But am sure that laugh would turn out to be hollow in the coming days. She is such a sadist and I can't believe that she claimed to love RK once. Hopefully this is the much needed  and most awaited Dipali closure in his life!!!

Padmini aur Shamsher ki Shaadi ki Tareekh pakki ho gayi - 23rd Jan 2013

Episode 167 Discussion: 11th Jan 2013

Events of the Episode

Episode had minor shooting bloopers visible. DD strolling around with Mehndi scenes even before Mehdi Hassan applied Mehndi on her hands. Otherwise, kudos to CVs for seamlessly building in other scenes along with VD scenes in these VD vacation days!  

1. Episode starts with Madhu strolling in to her maternal home and seeing her Deedu and her mother going about their chores in silence. Roma is shown walking towards her brother's apt after living thru the fiasco she had with Trishna's hidden money ka barsaat on her. She wants to question Trishna about it, but before she can do that, she sees the Pandit.
2. Pandit gives the date of 23rd Jan for Padmini and Shamsher's wedding.
3. Madhu and Trishna arrange for Mehndi and Sangeet ceremony for their parents. Padmini and shamsher look beautiful and so the two daughters and Roma in their respective attires. All look simple and yet gorgeous for the occassion.
4. Mehndi Hassan the henna wallah is sent by RK for the Mehndi ceremony. He adorns Padmini's hands and later also applies over Madhu; his chaand Biwi's hands.
5. RK calls Madhu to the sets where he is shooting to take the gift that he planned to give the bride and the groom. Madhu goes.
6. RK is shooting a romantic scene. Madhu and RK are feeling uncomfortable; at her watching him doing his romantic scenes with his heroine and him doing the romantic scene with her around the set. RK was visibly affected by her presence at the set watching him do his romantic scenes. The attempt to disperse the awkwardness between them is beautiful to watch...RK: Tum itni Chup kyon ho (why are you so silent)? Madhu: Infact, Tum kuch bol nahin rahe (you are not talking). 
7. Madhu offers to go away as she was affecting his work. RK holds her back, gives the gift planned and sees the mehndi on her hands. Praises her beautiful hands and again lost in her eyes (RK's goner now!)...episode ends

Episode Review - My take

Are Bol Radha Bol, Sangam Hoga ki Nahin ?!!

Interesting episode with a lot of foreboding for the D'Day which is 23rd Jan.

Targets being fixed for the date are:

• Active - Padmini- Shamsher wedding
• Passive - Madhu and RK's wish to finish the rest of the three pheras in that wedding for that becomes the reason for Mehndi Hassan lamenting that he could not apply henna for Madhu for her marriage and pat comes MAdhu's reply that he can now and she remembers RK's waada to her that they shall get married in full.

Although nothing can stop them wishing for these events, Balraj has his plans for the D'Day to kill his Chaudhrain and his Vinaashbala. Question...how will he get to know the date of the marriage ? I wonder !  And the precap, seems to have dampened the mood for Rishbala...Sigh !!!

And another foreboding...already Madhu and RK are feeling uncomfortable at her watching him doing his romantic scenes with his heroines and him doing the romantic scenes with her around the set. Hmmm! their love affecting his work.

Seems Trishna had to patch up with Madhu for Mehndi and Sangeet ceremony, to avoid her heavy brooding on her signing the film with Balraj...and that brooding is already tipping Roma that something is definitely wrong.

And the beautiful people of the Day - Padmini and Shamsher

Both of them were looking so beautiful and handsome. And Shamsher with his awesome smile had me Oooh when he smiled and said, "Shaadi bhi nahin hui, aur abhi se Var aur Vadhu". He is one HAPPY MAN!!!! 

The attempt to disperse the awkwardness between Rishbala was beautiful to see...RK: Tum itni Chup kyon ho (why are you so silent)? Madhu: Infact, Tum kuch bol nahin rahe (you are not talking). Yeah! Madhu reminded me that usually it is him who talks all the way and does everything.

RK was visibly affected by her presence at the set watching him do his romantic scenes. Now I wonder why would that happen. It is natural that Madhu feels discomfort  that she is having to watch him holding someone else than her (can I risk saying envious...because that is a genuine and honest feeling...even I couldn't watch any other female with Andrew )...but why was he is so hesitant and disturbed ? So does RK's heart actually flutter nowadays when he sees Madhu? 

Until few days back...until he showed his dream house to Madhu and he saw her reaction to his will , Rishabh Kundra was all about "Madhu you are mine, I Love You and I know you Love me...No doubt about it"

At their dream house scene, he was overwhelmed by her concern and thought for him...remembering his dad's chair. And at the time of will in making scene, for the first time, she shut him to say, she loves him more than him and his ego not minding her having an upperhand. Though it never hurts us or Madhu for him to have an upperhand always, because he is so right in all cases considering the way he thinks and considering the way Madhu responds to him in an overall manner, it is actually pleasing for all of us to see that it does not hurt him anymore for him to listen to her, or have nothing to answer her back or show his attitude. This way it is a little bit healthy with balance being restored in their relationship, considering they are both good human beings. Much needed healthy balance between them...that can slowly fill up Rishabh's mind with security and slowly loosen himself...

Now is this losing bit by bit his ego, his insecurity when in love with Madhu, now causing him to feel all jittery in Madhu's presence ? There was a time, when Madhu was a goner. Today, we saw RK losing himself, his ground...he was being a goner in love with Madhu.

So how has their relationship progressed and what held it all along for them ?

Enigma, Sensitivity, Trust and Softness for Each Other

I would say, unknown phase, hate phase, knowing phase, of falling in love phase, they never had problem trusting each other. Infact of all things that they knew about each other was to trust each other in every manner about their selves inspite of having all the differences between each other. They never had doubts about each other's intents except the time when Madhu got caught in Kuku and Sikky's scheme to get RK's fathers pics published. Then RK was hurt and felt betrayed and yet he did not let her go. Likewise tomorrow, will be another day when RK gets caught with Dips ploy of love test for Madhu. Now Madhu will be hurt and felt betrayed. I am sure, she too will not let him go...because these two though hurt themselves, they cannot see the other person hurt and in pain. Then RK after avenging himself by getting Shamsher sign the contract, he became Madhu's doctor forcefully inspite of him too crying during the day. And now, we don't know what Madhu will do to RK, but question is will she be able to see him in pain.

And what will keep holding them together ? I guess the Enigma will get replaced by Knowledge and everything else shall remain the same...
