Rishbala : An extraordinary temptation-obsession
Watch Rishabh in the dartboard scene and see how deep his obsession for Maddy runs. Does he even know what he feels for her? NO.
Watch Maddy tell her family innocently that she will go and meet Rishabh alone even after all that has happened. Can trust on a mysterious stranger be so nave YES.
Look , this is how it is as of now.
Sometimes when exceptionally strong and conditioned people are hit with something that attracts them like a magnet, something that seeps like water through their self built cold walls , well, they go INSANE. For once , there is something/someone in Rishabh's life who is raging a war inside him. Madhubala ' a soft tigress has rocked something inside him. Suddenly , someone else has become so important and run so deep into him that he can literally predict when the next tear will roll down her cheeks ' or how Maddy will act and react. He has no control over the man inside him who is dangerously fixated to Maddy.
And such people go mad and consciously wicked when they are faced with something they cannot handle. That is exactly what Rishabh is doing. He is converting that surge of passion, incoherent but strong feelings and that constant desire to see her into a negative flow of attacks that will hurt Maddy. She has dared to seep into his skin and for a man who is alienated from all feelings and is a cold slab of ice ' this is nothing less than hot water being poured on him.
She is in his head and under his skin 24x7 , from the day he heard her name ' from the day he saw her standing at the bridge switching off his brains for a good 60 seconds. And someone inside him refuses to let go of her. He is far removed from feelings and love is like a million light years away ' so he deals with her with what he is capable of ' villainy , destruction.
He is angry that she is sitting in his head and it's a constant battle for him as well. He hurts her so that he can reinstate to himself that he is still his own king. The way he wants to know how much Maddy cried , the way he tells himself that no matter how much he hurts her, the desire to break her does not go , the way he closes his eyes in a fiendish grin at the thought that Maddy is in pain , the way he can literally predict where Maddy will breathe next ' looking at all of that , its unlikely that Rishabh will ever be able to release himself from Maddy or Maddy from himself.
Coming to Maddy , she is still as innocent as her face. Not even for a single second does she doubt Rishabh ' infact , she is ready to go and see him all alone and ask him for help . Naive , innocent , trusting and extremely vulnerable. This softness has to leave Maddy. She cannot deal with the beast inside Rishabh with such a transparent heart. She will never be able to dissect Rishabh and retain her sanity if she doesn't get at least 10% of darkness that Rishabh has. To deal with a crazyball like Rishabh , you need a dash of madness in yourself too. And am sure Maddy will understand that soon.She should never waste her time in comprehending Rishabh in the future ' DEAL with him, first of all. Everything else is absolutely secondary.
As for the rest of the episode , Aayi and her remarks were intolerable. Mukku was an obedient son. Trishna was nice and angry for the right reasons for a change . Shamshu was the perfect father figure and I loved it when he called Maddy his 'Sher'.
Bittu G had the best dialogues ' do not miss.
Lastly, Rishabh is just being Rishabh ' driven mad by something that he cannot handle, no matter how calm and am-the-coach he appears on the surface. He is going mad inside.
Love and luck always to everyone,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
