Nice analysis..
Although A question why don't you connect to Radhaji?Today is the first time I felt a teensy weensy bit sorry for her.
Even I feel strange why I cant connect to Radhaji or sympathize a mother whose son is so rude to her. But when I dwell on that, I tend to ask was she there for her son when he needed her the most? He is THE RK now who pushes her away… but he was a 12 year old when his world collapsed. How difficult is it for a mother to get through to a 12 old child? I for a minute wont hold it against her for re marrying but when she says she did it for her son... RK has a problem and so do I. As a mother, I cant see her standing on the sidelines with teary eyes watching her become a monster. I feel for that child who spent so many nights, sleepless and with a mother under the same roof, i see that as a mother's failure. I guess that is why RK came up with the 'Janam deni wali aurat'. So what if he pushed her away as a 12 yr old or when he was much older? As a mother she has every right to tend to his wounds… but she doesn't seem to do that? She cries instead! It is not like she cant get through to him, she did on the night of the party and got RK to see that he has done a wrong thing… so why cant she be assertive all the time? And I don't see her being a great mom to sikki either! She is just sweet.
Frankly, I to think that slowly but surely Padmini is filling up the void of a mother in his life. There seem to be a connect in the way in which he walked towards her and collected the Ganapati idol from her… It was like she will understand why he is taking it back. The best part was that he seems to know at that moment she will not be judgmental. When he takes off on her, she holds her ground and gives it back to him and effectively at that. But she doesn't ponder too much when he needs to be appreciated.
'Ma' is the most natural things that come to us whenever we are distressed, in pain or happy… and just thinking what this child must have gone through to call her what he does is heartbreaking. I don't want to see Radhaji whining away, I want her to fight to win back her son and not Madhu.
