Yesterday's episode just made me wonder, what will ever fix this kind of broken heart if it's for revenge. There seems to be no answer, probably because I am completely thinking from the right and wrong aspects and when it comes to characters, we should suspend all that I guess. The curtain has come down on Act 1. It's a big puzzle and my mind still refuses to believe it is for revenge despite writers forcing me to think that way. I cannot negate all the scenes that they showed to establish love or fake love between the two and just flow with their explanation, which is completely absurd and confusing for someone who has been a regular viewer.
There are three scenes that connect the dots for me at the moment and like The Truman Show must be completely out of order and rubbish again 😆😆😆. I so wish it was the Indian TV's The Truman Show as the everything would have made complete sense but then Radhajee would have not been a real mother. I guess TRP audience would have not liked that twist 😊.
The three scenes that connect the dots:
The first scene at the hospital where he tells her: Our destinies are entwined. The second where he comes back after patching-up with his mother and tells her I cannot live without you: Madhu's lines you're my darkest darkness. The third scene where he is drinking again and Madhubala assures that he is not fault for bringing back Ballu in their life, it was destiny: while drinking he remembers the scene where Padmini shoots down Ballu.
Ever since destines of theirs have entwined, Madhubala have had a bumpy ride. Before meeting him, she was leading a normal life and then she landed on a boat sailing in the tempestuous sea. He may now want her to go back to the sunlit world of hers as living with him almost got her killed. Why go to such an extreme? Because Madhubala is stubbornness personified and a mild push away would have not seen her exit from his world full of dark shadows that he fear, may some day swallow her.
Despite twisted twist, revenge or no revenge and my list of complaints, MB team deserves a standing ovation for messing with our heads and delivering such top notch episodes since the beginning of this track. Brilliant!
