Making upto to Biwi. Let's celebrate Karva Chauth RK style.

I would not rate the episode today because my mood/take was compromised through my moderating the thread this morning with that TOI stuff and resulting adulterating moments for me when I myself wrote about VD's vacation and all of the drama as necessary. So I don't know how the pure take would have been.

So this is my episode review for me today.

First Half - Lighter drama, needed staple
• Second Half - Serious drama as build-up for upcoming events.

First Half commentary as I watched.

RADUNCE : becomes a Leaky Tap.

Says She : Pata Nahin Main Kyoon kisi ke Behkaave main aa gayi, Tum par Shak kar Baithi.

Says Me : Chidiya Chug Gayi Khet, Ab rone se kya faayda; Radha Maiyya!!!!

Says the Muse : Apne beta Rishu ki Maa Nahin ban paayi, to Madhu teri maa kaise ban paati. Use maaf kar de Madhu !!!

Once the Muse gives permission to Madhu, Aa Aaa BG melodrama music plays. Madhu Sweet&Low was so sweet that I started feeling pukish and I was writhing in pain when Thank God! scene was stopped by the blue colored Raw Cane Sugar. Natural Sugar is so much better than SweetNLow. Sigh!

Oh! God he said the same thing that I felt... "pahle gayrayee se soch le aur phir kaam kare" 😆

Oh! Rads cries again.

Oh that car scene!!! ...Jaise filmon mein hota hai 😆 ...Dolta hua !! Wasn't it doling too much ? Hindi wala Dolnaa...🤣

Colors making RK promote Big Boss.- Channel requirement. Fitted well

Please scene...Done well. Will come back to it later.

Andhera scene ...Had to added. How can they forget ? They just cannot. Else I would have ranted.

Just at the snap of the finger lights come up. So RK and Madhu are not totally alone. Some technicians might be there. Right ?

Okay Zoya, you were remembering the Party Scene so much. And here it is... They needed to remind peope how things have changed from last time. Hmmm!

KC scene + rituals - Done well.

Episode ending with the song and being lost into each other - Done well.

Now coming to the serious drama and writing the way peeps started knowing me. Sometimes I can be fun too !

Yesterday or rather often times I have said, that RK heeds to what Madhu says. He hears her, and actually seeks her reassurance. And so it would be better Madhu talks to RK. Lekin that is CV's weapon, will not let Madhu talk. Sigh!!!

So Madhu, chided RK. What will happen if you not be so harsh and be a little softer. When he answers K will get deleted from RK, meaning he won't do it. As simple as surname Kundra cannot be deleted from Rishabh Kundra. Then Madhu goes on to say, I know you are apologetic but you will not seek sorry because your K cannot be deleted from RK. And she means his ego here. RK feels that. The showed his penitent face. Yes, it is that face and yes he has ego and yeah the world doesn't like it, but then he has his reasons to keep it. He just needs to make it up in his way. That face reminded me so much of the studio night face.

The car dolna and Big Boss promo started and RK tries his best to coax his Biwi to talk. She does not relent. He stops in front of Natraj Studio. She is surprised. He comes to escort her. She is doing her Nakhre. RK Mansion is one hell of a place for them. They never can get enough of each other. Always a volcano is ready to erupt there. But come to Studio, Madhu becomes Queen Bee for whom RK is ready to become the drone, especially the night when Studio is all Khaali and might I add as well, becomes a Khaalistan (The Pure Land once dreamed by Akaali Taqt Leaders in 80's).

So RK starts apologizing to her without actually saying Sorry. He is clear about the context of his apologgy. 😆, but then he won't say sorry. Not just him. This is many men. They won't say sorry to their girls, no matter what. They will make up and be trying to coax and "jhelo the roothna-manana" for hours but not say sorry. I don't know why. But let's leave. Its just that they are MEN. And this RK was atleast partly in character that he cannot actually say Sorry. But I guess this RK thinks he is too much of RK and less of his romantic self. But wait, the romantic man comes out of him and he says "Please". Nicely done scene. Hope Girls of my age would agree. I am not sure what are the ground rules between todays boys and girls or young men and women. Muhje to mere din yaad aa gaye!

Celebrating Karva Chouth his Style was good idea. Anyways this is RK. Everything that applies to him and Madhu, he needs to participate, give his 100%. So he gifts the KC gift by re-celebrating it, explaining the sieve in established religion method and practical way of looking at practice. When he was talking about women lifting their ghooghat a bit to see their hubby's ugly faces, I was laughing. I was transported to my sociology class where our lecturer used to go into actual ritual meaning and the practice of it by people. Anyways I liked this KC...It was almost like any rendezous of two lovers with moon as their witness. The customary water from Bisleri and the melted dairy chocolate as a substitute for earthen pitcher and Sweet condiment in the thali, was liked by me. Madhu might say...RK you are just incorrigible with that humungous ego, that you have to redo it...but then Madhu might also feel. This is so much better than all that waiting and tears and hoping against hope...or may be not. May be she would say that was one ecstacy, this is another one. My two memorable first KCs !!

And then as the night gets rangeen in Biwi's company, RK gets an idea to go for music and just like that he finds a Radio. Guys tell me, do we have radios like that nowadays ? Anyways...so he wants to dance. Madhu inadvertantly goes back to remember her earlier time when RK wanted to dance with her with that gesture of his. However with no hard feelings she accepts the hand in all glee. Seems they both expected a racy 21st century song...and me too...but out of the blue...God knows which Radio jockey was that...I listen to this UK radio...the Punjabi RJ's play old songs for crowd like me...so out of the blue, Daadiamma Daadiamma Maan Jaao comes up. 😆 😆 And they both start laughing. Aur phir kya honaa hai. Madhu hase aur RK na phase aisa ho sakta yeh kya ? Picture abhi baaki hai, Monday phir aayiega.

@Soundarya , Zoya, and AA: Loved your thoughts and reviews. Your posts were delightful to read.

@Leelaa: I can't wait for your next elaborated post

Oh he is an intelligent man. If he had not said that ghoorna wala dialogue.. I am sure you SBC members would have called him dim-wit for not observing. You had problems with him not understanding madhu's feeling.. and now you have problem if he reads them to.. decide. what you want?!!

Yes, peaches... one should say sorry... But he is an egoistic person.. They never bend down but for Madhu he doing everything... Just for her happiness... And yes, he showed his apology.. that means much more than saying sorry...

I keep saying sorry to everyone...

SBF, What should I tell you.. Even speaking as a non SBC, I felt he was like the typical TDH hero straight out of the M&B novel with his doctor dialogue and arrogance, not to mention his ego... He is half in love with her, what will he lose if he say sorry? There is no place for ego in love.. If your ego comes in between a couple then it means that there is no love between them.. So maybe we should all conclude that RK is not yet in love with Madhu..

But if I keep aside my problem with RK as person, then yes the second half was very enjoyable..

@ego: I would also mention something else.. Its about one of my fav. jodis- Virman.. One of the many reasons I love them is bcos they dont allow their ego to come in between them and dont hesitate to say sorry.. Infact Virat shows no hesitation in saying sorry to Maanvi, even if he seldom says it to others..

The Passion of the Artist and His Muse, His Inspiration

Was taking a break. And I just watched the episode, my 2nd time now in mute.

I felt two things.

1. The Studio is altogether A NEW WORLD for RK. He is just not the one that we see him at his home, residence. For that matter RK did not look the one that he is in RK mansion when he was talking to Shamsher and Padmini in their Chawl. Is RK then a Peter Pan ? Never happy at home and always going to Neverland ?
2. RK was very easy flowing and smooth with Madhu in the studio. He was a proud and ecstatic of his achievement for his Biwi, and he kept on showing one after the other his antics. The shine in his eyes reminded me when he was playing the piano, after giving a heart-felt beautiful description of his set for the new film and mentions that his heroine will come from the bridge and Madhu makes the entry. He is just so lost in that visual...of her over the bridge and at that he doesn't stop his performance and he keeps on playing.

Both Rishabh and Madhu were easily giving in to each other through fine performances. And none of it seemed forced or clunky. He guided her and she too performed. The KC ritual was the vehicle of actions for them, it was like the script given to them and both of them knew, when to see the moon, when to break the fast thru water, the chocolate and reverse feeding. And soon the act ended and Rishabh wanted to go for next act of dancing, which got foiled with that song, totally throwing them off balance and ticking them off to a real laughter rather than performing for each other. And throughout their act for each other which was delightful to either, they had oodles of chemistry building up between the two. And like good actors, they were controlling their desires and keeping up with repartees in each other's company.

RK - The Superstar vis-a vis RK the Artist

heard lot of VD interviews. But never I thought of it as real. Yes, true, I don't keep expectations. Learned through years of Television watching that we need to be dumb and not expect. But then now this is beyond dumbness. I think I have been ignoring a lot. VD actually got into the skin of his role and he is performing RK act with a passion.

The character RK that I am seeing all these days in Studio, fine I know that he is passionate about his work and seems more balanced here than at his home. But today in Madhu's company when I saw RK, I realized in this MUTE WATCHING that RK the Superstar is not just a Star. He is an ARTIST. And like a true ARTIST he can create and destroy himself to take his creation to the finest level.

His Muse, His Inspiration - Madhu

He is an actor who acts per the director and writers script given to him. But with Madhu today, he created everything for her, so she was being his inspiration, his Muse.

Shruti - You being the Artist...Am I making any sense ?

My sister used to write stories. Deep was she with her subject at the tender age of 17 which even I was not. She stopped writing in recent years... When I asked why she stopped, she said, "it draws all my energy, like I am all drained. And I guess its not worth it. And I need to look after other things...". I saw pain in her eyes and I did not continue...I understand that psyche, the psyche of the artist...and there cannot be perpetual sap to create and I understand the pain...Nevertheless...left it for another day to probe on specific basis...

This RK that I saw today...the Happy One, infact seemed quite consuming in his need to create, his zest as a presenter, his ecstacy in seeing happiness in Madhu's eyes...She was his precious audience at that time. I did write in my 1st review that RK needed to show his 100% participation. But the set he decorated for her was more than participation, it was like he created everything for her. What if she doesn't like it ? What is his viewers don't like his creation anymore ? Most artists vacillate between being morose and then extremely in high spirits.

Madhu will need to toughen up dealing with this artist husband, who is going to be sensitive, lost in his own mental labyrinths needed for his artistic creation, who feels chaotic about his home, needs to take periodic trips to studio and dreamworld and lose himself. I don't know why, I kept remembering the initial promos where RK asks Madhu to lose herself in this dreamworld.

And Madhu and RK have a lot of chemistry, undercurrents of passion was just showing up. Because, not once I saw Madhu being shy. When she had to control the situation she turned her eyes away from him, but Gosh! she was perfect partner for him today. For such a young girl (as compared to RK's age and his experience), she was a woman with grace and poise. And RK was just liking that as if he found what he had been looking for in his creative world.

Okay guys, tell me that I have not gone delusional...but seriously the way RK was looking at Madhu today in the studio was no different when he saw her first time in the studio and continued playing piano enjoying her in his view.

Everyone in his daily life is a performer and an artist in some sense. Our creations may not be showcased, but we do create something daily. But what sets the artist that we know as artist...is his passion to consume himself to create something artistic. Ain't I right ?
