I enjoyed the episode for what it was and I have to agree with everyone, the way in which Madhu turned down Dips's offer was amazing. Beyond her words, it's like what SD said, she's uncovering all of RK's secrets and is slowly realizing a determination within her to "cure him".
The scene that I loved though was when Madhu left and RK called the doctor, angry that the doctor had let it slip about the machines. That right there shows you the man he actually is. This is why I think I love this show so much, RK is the ultimate romantic hero. My destressor of choice is a good romance novel, doesn't matter what decade it's from, genre doesn't usually matter, I look for a good story and a good leading couple. RK and Madhu both remind me of the leads from some of my most favourite ones. He's been hurt repeatedly, he doesn't trust anyone, everyone is going to betray him, so he hides behind this mask of someone no one can love.. If he gives them every reason not to then he's in control of the situation, no one will ever close enough to hurt him because he doesn't want them there to begin with. I like seeing the walls slipping, they're slipping with Madhu and eventually they're going to fall and I think he's becoming fearful of that, thus his insistance that she not see any of the good in him, that she continue to see him as a janwar (from that scene in the trailer), and that she always remembers that she doesn't like him. I get that it's not love yet, but it's definitely on the right track to love.
I like the comments posted about Padmani and how if he knew the real story he would probably understand and not hold so much resentment towards her. All in good time I suppose, he has to learn of her past somehow, as I agree with the poster who said that they thought RK was going to save Madhu and Padmani from Balraj. When they had RK in the jail cell with Madhu's father I saw it as them drawing a parallel between the two, I'm sure it's been mentioned but I think on the surface the marriage between Madhu and RK was supposed to initially look like a repeat of what happened with Padmani but we quickly began to see that that was not the case. I think it was done on purpose. RK meeting Balraj was not a mistake in my opinion either, RK is definitely going to have some part in finally defeating Balraj for real.
Since I've been rambling and have managed to get a little away from the topic of today's episode, I'd like to ask, anyone here listen to Mumford and Sons? It's not for everyone but I ADORE them.. recently I've been listening to them and at moments I'll think of Madhu/RK and where this story is going:
Roll out your questions keep them down
Let the water lead us home
And I was sorry for what I'd done
You were young I was not old
But our story was not told
But torn apart by greedy hands
Let the water lead us home
And I was sorry for what I'd done
You were young I was not old
But our story was not told
But torn apart by greedy hands
Spin me round just to pin me down
On the cover of this strange bed
spin me round just to pin me down
On the cover of this strange bed
spin me round just to pin me down
(... Home by Mumford and Sons)
