Just finished reading the entire thread. Lovely reviews and takes by everyone.
And Bhakti, loved this summarization
>>>>Jealousy is an extremely complex emotion to film, hai na? In fact, it is complex even to feel. It is horribly uncomfortable, acid in its aspect, corrosive in the extreme. I actually think, as hateful as Trishna is, and she is, they are playing her well. She is that person who, drowning in her own sense of inadequacy, wishes to stand on the head of another to keep her own above water. She doesn't realise the obvious - they will both drown.
Jealousy - Its not just Trishna, its Dipali as well.
Its one of the seven deadly sins. And its such a common sin. Abundantly visible. Yes, it is horribly uncomfortable, acid in its aspect, corrosive in the extreme and adding yet another dimension... making the object and subject fearful and limiting in life through nagging and dogging.
I was wondering as usual, what were the dominant rasas today. I find it is Bhayanaka and Karunya. Yes, I felt those emotions in great dozes.
What must have transpired between Dips and RK
Soap Bubble was asking what must have Dipali said which caused RK to leave in a huff.
Well, may be as everyone thinks that writers did not show what transpired between Dips and RK. But I am tempted to believe that RK saw Dipali to the same extent as we saw. Infact if you all see, yesterday and today, she is not taking too much of screen space and not having too many dialogues. Yet she looks deadly. That's because, the arrogant bitch is gone and the hurt bitch is in. She is now careful with words. She is now insulated from others taunts as she knows she had been exposed. That's where she got the edge. Rads could not but forgive her. Such was Dips smooth tongue. If I was in Rads place, I too would have had to succumb to do that. And back in RK's room, there two things that made RK leave the room in a huff. Dips negative energy was already too much, infact far too pervading and RK was feeling that just like we felt. He could see the jealous and loser Dips and he wanted to slight her in anger as usual, so he takes out proudly Madhu's name. Normally he is sarcastic of Dips own actions and failures, but here he did not slight Dips through her failings but he became vain and exposed himself and Madhu on the same hurt subject of love where once Dips had wounded him. Bad !! RK it was mad move !!!! That's when he realizes that he exposed himself to Dips again. In his sweet memories of Madhu and that sweet mood, he said he was lost in Madhu's thoughts.
But getting a different response from Dips rather than her usual, why Madhu and not me, Dips left a remark on him..."What did you ask...if you had asked me to leave this world, I would have done even that". Her claim is false, even RK knows that...but it was enough to make him come out of his cozy feelings around Madhu and to realize that he needs to buckle up again, himself, both for him and Madhu. I could feel that...so much. So far RK has protected Madhu against everything evil and bad that he knows and understands. In that seclusion between RK and Dips...there was lot of hurt that RK had and which he had not yet addressed. That's why he left in huff. Not that Dipali did something. But angry because Dipali could drive away his beautiful thoughts around Madhu. I felt he was just angry with himself how he got weakened so easily and why did he have to proudly flaunt Madhu instead of protecting her as usual. Because honestly RK need not have answered Dips that he was lost in Madhu's thoughts, unless he felt as if that was going to wound Dips. So that was a characteristic weakness, which RK will not forgive himself for using Madhu-ammunition to hurt Dips.
Hope I am making sense. Its a nagging subliminal feeling I had towards the scene. It won't go away. This was grey.
And Trishna cursing Madhu. I was aghast in seeing Trishna cross all limits of family bonding. But then I was so relieved that her poison was out. Yes, like Priya said, RK is enough for her. But then this should be Madhu's battle with Trishna.
Today RK and Madhu both were facing their nagging past in the form of Dipali and Trishna. Vestigeal relationships they are and yet they have become the toxic appendix for either of them. Both RK and Madhu left their stations in huff to escape these negative forces. But I had the comfort to see RK partially realizing that he needs to address something to gain balance ...and what is it ...he is yet to know the answer for. He just doesn't how yet...
And I was pained to see Madhu, yet again in tears and proudly leaving the place. But Madhu, for once instead of just thinking Trishna did something wrong and you as sister need to forgive her, can you actually do something about it ? Because Madhu, the curse is not on you, the curse is on your RK too. Along with you he too got the curse. Do you realize that he needs to be protected now ?
There is not yet beginning from the ashes as I wrote in my prior review. I am just hoping that this new track is about both RK and Madhu burning their past of the vestigeal organs that gives them hurt and from those ashes, make new beginnings for each other. Part of their journey needs to be solo as it is their individual battle with Dips and Trishna and how they can get the ammunition to fight is through their knowledge that each has exposed the other to the wrath of these two women and hence their responsibilty to protect the other.
