We continue the adventures of our hot lead pair in the plot-hole ridden, continuity bereft land of IMPROBABLISTAN, aka Natraj Studios.
Hero has used his mysterious superpower ( of being really,really hot) to carry heroine to safety and to somehow stop the current that would have Turned her into Rishabstein's monster. (People always get that wrong, Frankenstein was the scientist, the monster was the, er, monster).
Here, because soft and pretty heroines were carried in strong arms by RK, FQ got quite distracted and forgot how to be sarcastic.
Moving swiftly on, we realise that RK has not lost his evilness, ( thank the devil) and gets in a nice line about letting Madhoo die. She doesn't, but she does faint.
In the meanwhile, clunky plot device of clunkdonia, aka closed studio door is introduced, as well as a completely incompetent bunch of nincompoops outside, who cannot hook up the door to a vehicle and give it a good pull. Writers, really! ( But don't get worked up yet, because this is the least clunky of clunky plot devices used in this episode.)
Cut to Padmini's perfectly made up face in the middle of the night. Radhaji calls, to let her know that their missing children have been found. This is the best bit of today's episode. Radha gets in a few good lines about her son being a bad,bad boy, and Padmini forgets that her trembling nods can't be heard on the telephone.
Well done, writers for keeping the scene short, effective and moving.
Back to the studio, where we see that Madhu's leg has been chopped off. I kid, but Madhu clearly has a wasting disease because her blood has clotted in the two seconds since she got cut. A big gash is revealed. Her husband makes a face ( pretty, because it's RK) and takes off her magical shoes. Feet emerge, feet are rubbed. Madhu gets aroused, er, awakened and demands to know what her husband is doing by teasing her like that.
RK tells her to get naked.
But not in a good way. He offers her his 'coat' . IT IS NOT A COAT! IT IS A JACKET!!!! (Ok, tirade over, but why does nobody get that right?)
He threatens sexy disrobing, and once again FQ finds that her critical faculties have gone into cardiac arrest.
When she emerges, RK has hooked up a handy blanket to let Madhu change because Natraj studios has suddenly lost all of its changing rooms, makeup rooms, and the entire costume department. So our hero has to rig a seventies movie situation to keep his heroine alive.
Madhu changes behind the conveniently found blanket and RK tries very hard not to look at all that luscious, burning, naked flesh so close to him. One can see the struggle in his body language, but he pretends he is frustrated because his wife won't answer him.
Madhu bats away the blanket that separates them and they give way to the savage attraction that binds them together. I kid.
Madhu emerges, having magically changed into a red petticoat, and throws some lines at RK.
They both want to ask each other silly questions. I just want them to get it on.
RK decides to treat Madu's gash ( not that one, gutter minds), GET THIS PLOT HOLE WALLAHS, with a dirty rag found in a bin soaked in dirty water that someone left lying around. If he wants his wife to dies of blood poisoning and successive amputations, he should say so now, na?
Because, of course, they don't keep things like first aid kits at a functioning studio. Come on show, aren't you supposed to be a show about the film industry? What light are you showing them in? The most ill-organised, unsafe work place in the history of the world? Severely disappointed by this.
Then comes the mandatory clutching of shoulder moment as husband treats gash, ( not that one, gutter minds) . Himesh Reshamiya does a prolonged sneeze through his nose in the background. It sounds oddly tuneful.
Episode ends.
Madhu looks beautiful in the precap.
