Episode 162 Discussion: 5th Jan 2013

RK's Sasural Family Portrait gets completed so that Balraj knows that he has to tear it apart.

Episode 162  Discussion: 5th Jan 2013

Events of the episode:

1. Roma is back from our long outdoor shooting of months. She is the saving grace for today's drama.
2. Shamsher was leaving for Bhopal and is tracked by his Damaad RK and brought back home
3. Padmini tells Shamsher that she is ready to get married to him.
4. Bittuji brings Balraj back to the chawl to convince Trishna to act in his film, because though Trishna said yes to him, she again refused to sign the contract when the agent called her.
5. Family reunion in happiness with Shamsher+Padmini+Roma+Trishna+Madhu+RK, being watched by Balraj in seething anger by end of the episode.

Its like watching a south Indian movie...starting from B&W era to 80's era that I had watched. Everything gets resolved in high voltage drama and all characters one by one gather at the same place to get into the same frame to give an happy ending. 

That happened in the Malik's chawl today and over Mumbai Nagri roads. God! the rona-dhona (crying) and drama. It is my personal problem that I cannot watch this kind of drama that I had to see today. So I will not say, I am being impartial. I couldn't be when I was watching the 15 minutes of the show with covered eyes, mean looking through my finger gaps, so embarassing it was to watch the drama. Padmini and Madhu were worse cases today...undoubtedly. I pity PP and DD. Hope they laughed a lot when shooting those scenes, atleast they must have relieved themselves of the embarassment they were causing to themselves and viewers.

Waise the family portrait just happened for Balraj to see ...per the precap scene.  A portrait of Shamsher+Padmini+Roma+Trishna+Madhu+RK

I could only bear two people today; Roma and Balraj, though Bittuji also made the appearance. 

Roma made a comeback and Balraj remembered that he had been to the chawl before to kill Pads and Mads.

Except for Bhatias (Radha and gang), all the original cast of MEIEJ was there today.

Chalo, I guess now, RK will make way for Balraj to start his drama in coming days.

C rated drama, but needed wrap up drama before ACT III starts for MEIEJ.  ACT 1 - 20 yrs back drama. ACT II - Rishbala and building relationships around them. ACT III - The Past  left behind 20 years revisits everyone.

RK and ROMA

Waise by the end of ACT II, it is very clear that RK is enjoying the love and affection of Malik and Choudhry family...now totally becoming Malik family. He is enjoying even Roma's company. If we take away the Superstar status from Rishabh Kundra and just see Rishabh standing with these people, it is very acceptable to see that Rishabh is actually getting what he wants. Love of people around him. 

And Roma was the best example there. Eccentric character she is...but how bubbly and vivacious she is. A woman filled with love of life. What if she is not brilliant. She is just loveable. She had been responsible for helping out Padmini initially. She is such a good friend and sister and an aunt to the girls. And in today's episode, RK very naturally bonds with her just like her...both equally dramatic figures.

Madhu's demand for the 7 phera marriage from RK

Per Madhu everything is fixed and going well. His MIL and her son are now talking, her parents are getting married and her relations with her sister are improving. And so lovingly she reminds her husband that he needs to think of his 7 phera marriage. This is all in accordance with Reconciliation and Fixing before Leaving track, Let's Leave the stardom Track. Because we have RK wondering ""Kahan to pyaar tha hi nahee aur kahaa ye...Uparwaala jab bhi deta hai thappad maarke deta hai"

He was comparing his erstwhile barren/drought state of not having love in his life and now this flooded (chappad faadne waala types) state of love. Earlier he was abandoned by his parents and Dips which left him deeply scarred for life...but yet again he is now flourishing in love...with so many relationships around him now...because of his Madhu and prodded by her even he has built the relationships...hence the use of the word thappad...whatever happened to him good and bad ...all are pretty slapped to him by circumstance.

Filmy Daamaad ke filmy in-laws ka filmy reunion!!!!

Superstar goes in search of his sasur to a public transport bus station--Very interesting!

Padmini bahao's Ganga, jamuna, saraswati today and thankfully, as usual RK enters the scene along with malik in tow to save us from the atyachaar. Malik-Pads ko zindagi mil gayi dobara

Lady Bheem makes her dhamakedaar come-back!! And all her lines were too good.

If all the filminess of the scene is ignored, I actually liked that the entire family was present on this occasion in a single frame. It would have been very heart-warming for a crazy RK to be a part of this crazy family. His line "uparwala jab bhi deta hai ,thappad marke deta hai" indicated that he was very happy to be a part of this crazy bunch. RK was as usual spot-on with the dialogues and emotions.

RK-Madhu scene was as usual nice. RK-Roma were very good. I expected a RK-Padmini convo but never mind...

Am glad, Ballu says that Trishna is not the only heroine in this whole world and that there are thousands of other girls and that it goes against his izzat to pursue this girl..

Precap: Waah! Ballu ke toh bhagya khul gaye.. Denewala  jab bhi deta , deta chappar phad ke...He got to see the entire family in one frame... Family photograph kheenchi ja rahi hai taki Khalnayak plan banaye ke uska naksha kaise badal diya jaaye!!!

By Hima

So,as per precap Balraj gets to know everything !!...not only that his estranged wife and two daughters are alive but,also that Mrs.R.K is none other than his daughter Madhu,the supposed heroine Trishna is his elder daughter(he would sure figure out all that) and Super star R.K wants to launch his wife's sister staying anonymous...

        His targets are however in the dark except Trishna who though knows her devil father is back is unaware that its R.K (oblivious to who ballu is) who is behind the film nor knows Ballu found out all about them...Would be interesting to see how R.K outsmarts Ballu in his game...I doubt if R.K would get to know of Ballu's real identity until the very end...

       Trishna,true to her character was quick to find fault  for their unfortunate situation and blamed Padmini ...it also showed how fiercely loyal she is to shamsher...As Shri said in her 'subtilities of relationships' Trishna made her relationship with both Padmini and mallik...she knows what it is to not have caring parents...hence is not only fiercely loyal but also possessive of  both Shamsher and Padmini...but,can we say she feels the same towards Madhu...I am not so sure...If Madhu happens to be the reason her parents get in danger what would she do..?? If a situation arises would she be not selfish to sacrifice,give in madhu (to balraj) for her parents...would she be loyal to Madhu too...?? ...have to watch out...As of now Trishna is one character who has layers and which are yet to be revealed to us... 

R.K and madhu scene as usual was cute and lovely...R.K is one happy man now a days...When he said that 'Thappad' dialogue I think he also meant  his Sasuma's thappad  ...Though he had to endure it,the end result made his equation with Roma and Trishna amicable...He seemed to be relieved when Roma expressed her happiness...he finally is getting all that love he yearned for from the most genuine people... mallik got to express his dil ki baat in privacy with pads but,poor Padmini she got to do it in front of her whole family ...and R.K who provides millions with reel entertainment was getting his from the real happy drama right in front of his eyes...   How can he miss it...Liked Roma today...over all a nice episode..

Responding to Hima over Trishna

Hima,

After I read your post...and as I was cooking today, i started thinking on what you wrote about Trishna. That she was quick to blame Padmini for being the reason why Shamsher left them. ..

The way Trishna thinks is very simple then...her world of things she built for herself and her dreams. She loves Padmini, Shamsher and Roma very much. And Padmini and Shamsher...yes, she is very possessive about them...so much that she can easily switch their camps if one of them becomes the reason to hurt the other. And she behaves very much of a demanding daughter of the three and we have seen her being unreasonably demanding of them and so much that in frustration, all three have slapped her. She has wept a lot, still had not held any grudge against them.

So worse comes worst, she is always going to protect her parents and Roma. If the choice was between saving her parents/Roma and Madhu, she will always pick the other three. 

If the choice was between her dreams and Madhu to pick for ...I don't know what she will pick up...because Trishna has not come as AMORAL even if she came across as brash, selfish and hurtful. If the other three are safe and provided...we can hope to see that tested. But so far in the story, Trishna has been bad to Madhu when she was totally unreasonable (like in the case of Mukund Dikshit...I mean blindly any given day, I was on Trishna's camp) and when Shamsher was lying in the hospital or her parents were not together.  

Another thing which is also very clear that, she doesn't really concern herself with Madhu's aspirations and efforts. She heeds to Madhu because she is also the daughter of her parents. Otherwise, Trishna does not have any emotional bonding with Madhu. All that she ever shared as sister was taking advantage of Madhu's offered help...like in case of shooing away all proposed matches coming for her when Padmini tried getting her married...or taking her make-up artist services...

So what does that speak of Madhu ? That Madhu does not know how an elder sister is supposed to take care of a younger sister. So Madhu is as much a single child whereas Trishna had been getting the love of  a sister, though she was not being a true sister.

in conclusion...my ramble now decides that Trishna is a daughter with vested interest in her parents. However, she is not a sister with vested interests. She may protect Madhu, only if she were to know that her parents would be aggrieved if something were to happen to Madhu.

BY Hima

Shri,

Agree...@Bold:  Very true and I wonder why Trishna doesn't share any emotional bond with madhu despite being her elder sister and known her since birth...I think you answered it in

'subtleties of Relationships' when you said... "There in lies her deep insecurity of not being blessed enough to possess as birthright like Madhu".

So,its probably her jealousy and deep rooted insecurity that madhu is Padmini's own daughter whereas she is her step daughter that somehow made her emotionally detached with her sibling...Even when Madhu was living a hate marriage with R.K we never saw Trishna feel any sympathy towards Madhu...She blinded herself to Madhu's hurt and just saw her being a superstar's wife...Also,we don't see her feeling any remorse after cursing her sis so harshly...

It wouldn't take much for Trishna to turn bitter agai

By Zoya

Shri, Hima read both of your posts on Trishna. 

It might be that Madhu is Padmini's own biological daughter and she is not. Not only that, Trishna is a rebel and Madhu an ideal daughter. So probably the insecurity that Madhu is loved more than her, forces her to demand the love from her parents and Roma. 

From the time I have started watching the show, I have never till today felt that she loved Madhu at all.

 For Trishna, her dreams, aspirations are very very important. . As long as Madhu(or anyone for that matter)  does not breach her territory and become antagonistic to her dreams/ambitions, she would be happy and be goody goody to her

 She even  lashed out at her mom once when she said that she wants Trish settled n tells her to forget all her hi-fi dreams and come back to reality..

She sympathizes with Madhu during RK ki laila press conf, consoles her when malik was first taken to the hosp. All these times, Madhu's nature was not antagonistic to her. Trish  first blamed Madhu when she was humiliated on the sets and then sent away from there and was told that she would never be able to find work in the film industry, thus putting a full stop to her career. The moment that happened, she blamed Madhu for being the root-cause of their problems--her career, Malik battling for his life and she had told yahaan tak ki, had she not come into existence, Mom and she would never had to flee Motihari.

The jealousy showed its head out  when Madhu got married to the Superstar,coz again, it was her dream to act opposite RK and dreamt of a life too with all the luxuries, comforts. She was deprived of all this(and with the ban, it would never get fulfilled) and Madhu got to live the life Trish aspired ,which just fuelled the antagonism even more. 

Now coming to her patch-up with Madhu, i feel its coz everything is falling in place with regards to both her career n personal life n hence has no problem with Madhu..

This is how I have perceived Trish's character apart from her love bonding with her parents which you both have discussed. I understand that she is a very layered character and hopefully other layers/dimensions would be revealed in the upcoming tracks.

Like Ananya and others said yesterday, it would be interesting to see RK/Trishna r'ship now and most importantly how RK would deal with Trish when sibling jealousy/rivalry shows its head out again in the future and how would he make Madhu understand and show her the reality.

By Zorica

Here from today's episode.

By Tanu

Beautiful picture dear...  Padmini is looks so beautiful... she epitomises strength, grace and warmth. Malik has a photogenic face... his expressions are caught lot better in a still photo than a movie. Roma and Trishna are happy for their loved ones. Madhu looks cheerful, the skip in her steps was evident and RK behind looks thoughful... thoughtfulness that brought about smiles on all the faces. And Ballu... for an excuse of a human being that he is... he deserved the anguish he faced today.

Zorica, you make some pictures come alive... Thank you.

When Slap grows heavier than the Prank.

Daamad ne Saasuma se mazaak kiya to Saasuma ne Daamaad ko thappad mara!

Episode 159 Discussion: 2nd Jan 2013

Events of the Episode

1. Padmini and Shamsher's love for each other comes out in the open as each of them reveal their true states of overwhelming emotion felt for each other when they hear that the other is extremely hurt.
2. The prank had been played by RK on Padmini and Shamsher as a hoax accident call placed to either. Both the daughters are witness to this drama. Padmini slaps RK at the prank played on them.
3. RK does not mind it, apologizes to the entire family for the prank played by him, and especially to Padmini. Then he goes on to explain that it was necessary for him to play it otherwise, his sasurjee and saasuma would never have accepted their feelings and regard for each other. He asks them to think over it and give a meaning to their relationship.
4. Trishna is upset that her her mother has been distressed. She asks RK to stop interfering in her parents lives. RK asks her to keep herself away as well as she need not interfere or influence her parents lives and it is their decision to marry or not.
5. Padmini and Shamsher do a lot of soul searching in the night as they think over the incident and how it brought forth all their hidden emotions for each other.
6. At night Madhu and RK, equally disturbed and happy at days events, agree that they caused distress to Madhu's parents, but also see the hope that they will come around in due time. They seek solace in each other's company to get the draught of happiness being supportive to each other. In the process RK takes down two of the pillows from their Deewar.

Episode Review

Wow ! I had a hearty laughter at the drama today. I know @real; other viewers sitting with me would have been irritated at my laughing at the Malik ... Padmini ...Malik ...Padmini yells...the closeness and then the thappad...It was supposed to be a serious drama and I was laughing. 

Anyways, they tried to make the episode a masaaledaar one. And the dramatics used that entertained me were:

1. the dead cat aka the scarf around the neck is back. Costume changes.
2. Trishna got spat at. Forgive my language! but ek bigda hua doosri bigdi hui ki acchi class le li. Didn't you all enjoy ?
3. They gave a Rishbala hug for viewers...I did not care much for this one
4. Radha the Gate-keeper  :) She was doing her honest duty there. Feeling sleepy and yet keeping her watch.
5. the two dogs being sent to the kennel.

Will give a B+

Now serious analysis

The Prank played by Rishabh Kundra - The planner and Executor for his Sasurjee-Saasuma Love Realization

Loved the drama. Needed drama. The whole family got played upon by RK. Each of the two daughters accompanying the parent to witness the drama of love coming out in the open. RK was lucky to have Trishna sitting at home when he played the prank. The prank was answered by a slap by Padmini. Very normal reaction there. And RK apologizes profusely to Padmini for his prank. What was more interesting is RK then finishing his part of the drama to make his saasuma and sasurjee realize that he did what they should have done long time back. He unabashedly tells them that "had not I played the prank you would never have told each other what conspired today, what we spoke to you about today."  He makes Shamsher answer his close looped questions which is pretty much like...oh! so why do you then crucify me for speaking out the truth. Both Padmini and Shamsher could not say anything.

The other dramas interesting to watch around the scene were 

• how both the daughters were surprised to see so much of overwhelming concern and love between their mother and father. They were taken aback at Padmini holding Shamsher quite closely and saying...I would have died had something happened to you...haha!!! the girls were like two kids...where did it come from ?

• How RK was being pleaded by his Biwi and Sasurjee to keep quiet and he vehemently saying no...that today, the moment is not to stop it. All ganged up there. Loved it.

• And how Trishna got verbal slap from RK. Oh! I loved it for the fact that ek bigda hua doosri bigdi hui ki acchi class le li. Didn't you all enjoy ? Loha hi loha ko kaata hai types. Do badtameez asking each other to stay away  from their parents. 

"Dil todna aur dil dukhane ki baaten tumhaare moonh se acchi nahin lagti. Tum in sab cheezon se doo raho to hi accha hai"

If this is going to be the jeeja-saali relationship between RK and Trishna, I am gonna enjoy it.  LOL!!

Roma's apt and interiors and the scenes

And finally they showed us how Roma's apt looks like. We got to see the interiors. Not bad!! Right ?? Nowadays the clunk from CVs is paying up...Used the flat to have Shamsher sit there  on the chabootra (I could not see of which tree it was) right in front of Roma's chawl apt. So that a little more of Padmini and Shamsher is seen by us. 

I won't blame Trishna's behaviour back in chawl. She is just being a possessive child, who doesn't want anything to happen to her mother, as she cannot lose her. So anything that makes her happy is fine by her, if that means bad mouthing her prank playing daamad or her muted second daughter. Whatever I am enjoying Trishna and her tantrums against RK and Madhu.

 CVs please show some entertaining drama between Trishna and RK in the upcoming marriage ceremony sequences. If the two bigde hue take each other's class, it would look to me as at least some barriers being closed between the two and she too becomes part of RK's family. Trishna is being unnecessarily kept away from the family drama.

Faisle ki ghadi aa gayi (The moment has come to decide)

Padmini and Shamsher now neither seem to be embarrassed nor hesitant. They know. But for both of them its the time...the time is pressing upon them to decide. And more so on Padmini as Shamsher is going to be with her no matter what she decides. This was the Aww moment for me when it suddenly dawns on Padmini looking at Shamsher outside the window, him getting upto to come after her when the window pane hits her and how he stops himself.

The precap scene

Radha the Gate-keeper  :) She was doing her honest duty there. Feeling sleepy and yet keeping her watch. Madhu blurted out that RK got slapped. From the precap scene, I could see that Padmini and Radhaji both were coming out of the temple together. So this means...Radhaji has a part to play in convincing Padmini... have to wait and watch.

And finally the couple in Love

This was not at all forced to me. Each of them were seriously thinking of the day's events. And RK wanted to share his feelings with his wife.  Starts chatting and she too responds. He is happy for the efforts made and believes that they will have success. And the talk just leads them on to empathize again about their relationship. The way they forget the rest of the drama and are again lost in each other, is what made it special for me...its like the goner moment.  Its like now you cannot stop the two love birds. And gone are two dogs in between the two. The dogs might be wailing aloud!!!  

The legal implications need to be clarified

Now I have the LOGICAL QUESTION that CVs have not taken pains to show it to me that their ORCHESTRATOR (RK) has thought about seeking legal clarities on Padmini's old marriage dissolution.

Its fine that Shridevi knows about it...but what about rest of Indian junta ? 

They might all be thinking how can Padmini marry Shamsher by remaining married to Balraj ? So who will BELL THE CAT now ? Someone needs to ASK this question ALOUD and all the viewers need to be answered .

Others take

By Zorica over RK the Planner and Executor

RK marked the beginning of episode: shock therapy!

Good acting RK, Padmini, Malik, but the scenography is more like a theater. I know it's RK idea to control the conditions in which the unfolding drama, but it bothered me. He did not want to be in a public place - I think that because of slap was expecting. LOL!

RK marked the end of the episode: gentle therapy!

Gentle and caring, as only he knows how to be! 

By Ananya

Brilliant is the word.

I am enjoying this 'Padmini-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon'  from the past few episodes. At least, Padmini's character seems to make lot more sense to me than Madhu's. 

It was heart touching to see the two souls who had suppressed their feelings for each other for the past 20 years, reach out to each other with volcano of emotions erupting in each at the thought of other being in peril. What tugged at my heart was the fact that, the two were completely lost in each other. In that moment, nothing else mattered to them. It didn't matter that their daughters were around witnessing them. All they cared about was that the other was safe. The terror in their eyes, for the other being in mortal peril, the sense of relief to see each other unharmed, and once that appeased a sudden realization, that in that one moment their nameless relationship might have reached a stage from where there is no looking back. All the plethora of emotions was very very well done. Kuods to the actors here. 

I dont ever remember any  CVs portraying the love story of supporting characters so beautifully.

Trishna's reaction was what I expected. If Madhu was not ready to accept this thought immediately, it would be unfair of us viewers to demand that Trishna should have reacted differently and supported the marriage. At that particualar instant, all she could see was this plan of RK's has caused a lot of distress to her parents. It is understandable. 

Now the much hyped slap, I am simply amazed by RK. It just shows the lengths he could go for the sake of his loved ones. He truly sees a mother in Padmini and hence had no qualms in getting slapped by her. Same goes with Padmini. She is not a person who would go around slapping people unless she exerts rights on them.(Quite unlike madhu, who did not hesitate in slapping RK in front of his whole crew)

The best scene has to be the chawl scene, where Padmini asks to be left alone. Through her eyes, she pleads Malik to understand and he does. What more understanding can we demand from two people in love? And then again, when they look at each other through the window, padmini hurts and in an instant Maliks wants to run to her, but still gathers the courage to hold himself.

I loved how RK said that he understands the importance of a husband-wife relationship, and hence wants them to get married. Loved how he silenced Trishna, asked her to keep quiet when it comes to matters of heart. It was very wise of him to put those two questions in front of mailk-padmini, answers to which he already knew. All he wanted was padmini to listen to those answers from malik. (RK will always come up with new ways to make me fall more for him..)

Now coming to madhu, she disappointed me today. Both in studio scene and with Radha scene. I expected her to support her husband, not with his plan, but with his intention behind it. How can she manage to be quiet throughout the entire scene is beyond me, especially when Trishna accuses RK of interfering in her parents' personal matter. She should have defended her husband there. Instead, what she does, goes home and cries on Radha's shoulder that her mom slapped her husband. Why? What purpose does that serve? We were not even shown properly how Radha reacts to it, and to be frank I dont care. But madhu has to learn to keep the matters between her and RK to herself, especially matters as sensitive as this.

I would like to end this very long post on the happy thoughts of the romantic elements in today's episode. Loved how RK hugged her in the studio. Finally he rested his head on hers during a hug. Loved how  RK said, 'galti karne ki mafi hoti hai, par koshish na karne ki mafi nai hoti'. Very true, and applicable to all aspects of one's life..

Pillows going down, him asking her to rest her head on his hand, all of it was beyond cute.

By Myself - Why the need for Madhu to inform Radhaji that Padmini slapped RK

@Ananya, Liked your post. Every word of it.

That does not mean that I did not like all the other reviews. I did. Its just that Ananya's narrative was flowing with her emotion of elation. 

Zoya,

You have been upset with Madhu for being indiscrete and telling Rads that Padmini slapped RK. Thing is...Its not character Madhu's fault.

If you remember, Madhu is discrete when she wants to. She chooses to tell what she wants to Rads. She doesn't tell everything. Its like ...Madhu shows the facts of the matter as a painting and presents it to Radha. She did not tell what was the fight about when Rads saw RK angry with Madhu at the dining table. She told all was well between her and RK upon returning from the farmhouse.

So its not just Madhu who uses discretion of informing per her mind. It is CVs through her. Remember this is Madhubala: Ek Ishq Ek Junoon. Its Madhu who has to drive the story. So she acts with CVs mind. All the other characters become catalysts to her created drama with her main antagonist being Rishabh Kundra. This is needed to always keep the tension between Mads and RK, otherwise the Ishq and Junoon will not come. For the junoon to show up, the conflict through Madhu at times and through RK at other times has to be there.

Anyways cutting short my ramble...what I am saying is that

today MAdhu informed Rads that Padmini slapped RK. It means that there is a purpose behind it. The CVs have planned something. Going my Madhu's character, she is being truthful to her saasuma. Because Padmini should not have slapped her Damaad. Now the viewers, RK, Padmini and Mads understand it...but the voice of tradition also need to be pacified. Right ? So CVs are making it look moralizing and sanctioning through Madhu that yes, the storytellers know that Padmini committed an offence and hence the panic stricken face from Shamsher, Trishna and Madhu. But who cares in reality. :)) As long as RK the hero is happy with the result, no one needs to bother what Mads or Rads thinks. We know the drama is going to be resolved tomorrow, hopefully with Rads as the older woman explaining Padmini that its okay to remarry ..as she too had remarried.

Now coming to Why they showed RK going all cold in his first response to Padmini's slap. That again is UN RKish. We just have to ignore that because CVs were trying to raise the emotional quotient of the scene by making us believe ...OHH!!!!!!!!! RK Pit gaya...AB use Gussa Aayega ...types.

Because of these impoverished clunks today to create drama, I wanted to give a B rating, but then gave it B+ because I didn't want to make it bad for the beautiful other moments of today's episode.

By Savz_uniqueblis  on TRISHNA

trishna is spolied brat but she is always treated like stranger to family, not included in family drama/decisions. pads-shammu n madhu seems more like family n trishna an outsider. seems she became like tat becos of neglected. she lost her own mother. her biological father is not nice to her. she didn't get mom-dad love frm pads-shammu so seems more taken care by roma, so she always feels tat she didn't get any love same like rk. rk n trishna in same boat. rk got madhu n trishna still not lucky. they can show nice story of trishna if cvs plans it, but trishna n ballu meeting many times,is it hinting any track btwn them. lets see .

A few points that struck me, they could be repetitive so pls bear with me:

• When RK and Madhu walk into their house, and they see Radhaji..RK tells her he's going upstairs. His face is not at all annoyed on seeing Radhaji, in fact, I thought he sort of indicated to Madhu to tell her what had happened..[SD] Agree. I felt the same. It was like he indicated to Madhu that you tell her why we are so late.
• Trishna's reaction was expected...it was the same first reaction that all of them had on hearing the proposal. Of course, her blaming madhu blindly  was unwarranted. She may come around given that there's been news about them dancing at the mehndi. 
• Will Trishna accept the offer just to get rid of Balraj? It is uncharacteristic of her, just when she should be telling people about his presence, she keeps quiet. Esp when this whole marriage thing coming up, how can paddy marry when she hasn't divorced Balraj, and he is back in the same city!! But this is the typical soap silent chaos  created just so that there can be a dramatic revelation two weeks later.[SD]: To me her keeping quiet now makes perfect sense. why ? No matter what Balraj should not see Padmini. Isn't it the survival reason why Shamsher staged the drama of her being killed. Else Balraj would never have stopped hunting them down. So she had split second decision to make ...by agreeing to do the cinema, she will have Balraj leave before either of them see each other. Now if there was  no Padmini-Shamsher marriage drama going on, logically she should be disclosing that Balraj is back in town. But she may again decide to let it slide as the marriage will not happen if the Balraj news is out. But yes, why No ONE is asking, how can Padmini marry a Shamsher without divorcing Balraj. Fine by law their marriage is non-functional...but how about ritualistic removal of her mangalsutra and sindhoor that Padmini is wearing in the name of Balraj. Shouldn't the woman at least look devoid with all marriage symbols from her previous marriage ? Questions galore my mind. But then I am willing to wait.
• The pillow removal scene was 3 seconds more than what they showed in the pre-cap!!! But then, I guess it was needed to show their increasing comfort with each other. If madhu was upset with the prank RK pulled, he wanted to show her he meant it in good faith, didn't mean to hurt anybody with it. And he wanted her to believe him, that's why he reached out and she understood. It was lovely...the silent understanding they have, the communication they have portrayed so beautifully.[SD]: Agree. Also did you notice the editing bloopers. MB's hand was already spread out for the entire length post pillow removal. And yet the last scene is shown as of she is giving out her hand now...

On an aside...I have already started writing to Colors to get them married quickly, how long will they love like this? It's terrifying to see the number of pillows remaining

[SD]: Good.
