There was something missing in today's episode...not sure what but it did not make an impact.
I know that there is mass dissatisfaction on the speed of issues getting resolved but my guess is CVs want to close all home based loops especially extended family based before they open the next set of issues.
Now on to episode- Radha gifts a photo from Jagrata to Madhu which shows RK looking enamoured with Madhu(the photo is truly ridiculous and seems to be put together from two different photographs). She even pushes to hang it on the wall (what is with Radha pushing Madhu to hang it ?) While I understand that Radha was worried with the bitterness induced self destructive streak she has sensed in RK and is happy to find him opening up to Madhu and life in general, I still think she is still oblivious to the true emotions of her immensely complex son. I find it odd that she never sensed extraordinary animosity between Dips and RK, she never truly explored why her son thinks that her husband is a wastrel and so on. She seems to be a very meek, weak and indecisive character expecting others to take care of the problems which incidently would explain why she remarried in a hurry.
Anyways Madhu is not sure how Rk will feel about the photo and decides to take it down at the same time wondering why Rk did not trust her despite his own affections being so deeply engaged. if she needs to ask, she is not understanding her husband and his feelings. she falls ...he catches...eyelock(yawn!...totally bland scene...can we move on...). What is funny here is that Madhu asks is she can prove her love some other way...it almost seemed she is geering for a CBSE or SAT retest. 😕. Of course Rk asks the question again and you can almost sense the hope in him again which I loved. This time Madhu does not disappoint ...he promises to marry her with complete rituals. Madhu is touched and hugs him. RK suddenly backs off ...it would have made sense if we saw the couple get into it and getting aroused but alas that is not how it came across. anyways madhu wants him to fix issues with radha and he walks away in his usual style
The rest of the episode is not worthy of mention because somehow Madhu seems to believe that pushing Rk into accepting his mom via drinking a cup of tea is going to make everything hunky dory.One of the biggest issues I have with the tellywood is that almost all the shows seem to equal naivity to being braindead. The female protagonists are goody two shoes who decide to crusade for lost causes and come out with flying colors against all odds.My issue with Madhu is that she does not seem to be learning from her missteps, she is not latching onto the undercurrents in Bhatia-Kundra household and her understanding of her husband is simplistic.
Rk and Bittuji are the most fascinating creature to me in this entire show followed by Padmini. Rk is literally a bag of contradictions. He is multifaceted talented person with an observant and sensitive side. He can however be ruthless and cuttingly sarcastic when required. His craziness, ruthlessness and sarcasm all seemed to be designed to keep people away from him. Bittuji probably understands this hence displays the unflinching loyalty. I find it interesting that he rejects his mother openly but he shares his wealth and house with her and his step family. She still rules his roost so as to speak in terms of daily household activity. He is also careful that none of his stepfather's wastrel activities are ever relayed back to her. My guess is that he wants some sort of assurance from her that he is still the most important person to her. The way I see it RK is all or nothing kind of a guy. He is ready to go an extra mile for loved ones and expects the same back in return. Unfortunately so far everyone including Madhu have failed him.
