A Construe on Madhubala -
Episode dated 24th Jan., 2013
A heart warming family interaction, a bit of romance, add a tad of emotions, little humor and with it terror looking in the face...what does get when all these ingredients are mixed, I would say a riveting episode of Madhubala...
Right from the moment when a horrified Roma recognizes the fiendish Balraj and held is captive by him lest she spoils Ballu's evil plan, it became a sequence of events tapping our every emotion...RV so convincingly depicted the horror and fear of Roma, while RZ bringing out BSC's despotism...Padmini's nightmare indeed turning into a premonition...
The cute and affectionate interaction between the siblings and their enthusiasm on decking up their mother for her wedding very much evident, all three ladies AP, PP and DD, seem to share such a great rapport which transcends onscreen too...
Like a cat getting it's cream, got my dose of favorite Rishbala conversational moment...Once again an overwhelmed and touched Madhu being teased by her RK, who just loves to needle her...then again by now this biwi of RK has become familiar with this side of him and very well knows how to get her own way...the conversation leading to Padmini's nightmare about BSC and the name ringing a bell in RK...I like it when RK has to do the talking as Vivian has mastered the art of impactful dialogue delivery...
the episode ending on the arrival of Balraj at the wedding venue and creating disturbance...the havoc has only begun...tomorrow will get to see more of this...
------- A quick sum up : a taut execution, larger than life setting, superb sequential blending, wonderful dialogues and every actor putting their best foot forward...Thank MB team for giving us the feel of a big screen scale of entertainment on small screen...
