I just happened to watch today's episode and I have to say that Balraj did not impress me the way he did before as a villain. Especially, the pointy moustache was making him look like a clown and on top of that he was crying like a little kid calling out to his dead mother when he saw the entire Malik clan. In the past, he was much more vigorous and pathologically grandiose in his cruelty and sadism that lacked conscience and regulation of behavior. Today, I did not see that characteristic in him that gave me the chills and made me fear him. May be he needs time to regroup his thoughts and plan his attack. He is taking his oath on his mother's ashes to turn Madhu and Padmini into ashes which was a bit OTT but I will give in considering that his mother has been his mentor and guide and did not want to see his destruction and hence he is hoping to pay tribute to her by gaining back his wealth and removing Madhu. But what was the need to rip the projector into pieces with his sword? It did not add any value other than making him look silly.
RK/Madhu scenes were OK and to me it looked like Madhu was pushing RK a bit too much and it seemed that he is giving in to her simply because he did not want her use his mother as an excuse and not go with him. He just wanted to make sure all loose ends are tied and no one comes in their way when they decide to leave everything and everyone behind. Little does he know, his destiny is intertwined with Madhu which is going to take a disastrous turn when Ballu comes back to attack them with full force.
One thing that I know for sure is that Balraj is clearly not going to let Padmini and Malik get married? All our questions of why she is wearing sindoor and magalsutra from her marriage to Balraj when she has agreed to marry Malik is going to be answered since the CVs have made Ballu himself question her audacity to agree to marry Malik when she is already married to him in the first place. So, they will have to give a logical explanation behind her removing those nishani and not just get up one morning and decide not to wear them. It would be OK for Malik and the rest of them if she did that but from the looks of Ballu he is not going to let that slide and he is definitely going to use his brain to outsmart these people and not just directly attack them.
Precap looked like RK is going to take Madhu to show the plot he had purchased for them. I was hoping that he would use it to pacify her after their MU. Oh! well, now I really want to know how he will be pacifying her and if that means her moving out of his mansion and putting herself in harms way by making herself vulnerable to attack by Ballu.
