Bloopers were there, quite a few.😕😆
But so long as we get DD and VD, and *not* in shared scenes with Dipali, Trishna and Sultan, all is fine.😳😃
We got Sultan in only one scene with DD, with two more characters to thankfully dilute the damnable focus.😛
We got Dipali only over the phone with RK, and then badgered in person by Sikki.😃
And we got not even one scene where Trishna had to be endured without Padmini and Radha around to dim her irritation factor.😃
Will no one ever point out that RK broke Madhu's heart, and Trishna almost got her sister *killed* by her deliberate silence.😡
Her offence knocks RK's out of the frigging ballpark ethically.😕
RK is the only reason that Madhu, Trishna, Padmini et al are even alive today.😊
RK should repent, since the CVs have given us a bloopered idiotic storyline of his unbelievable revenge retroactively.
But for Trishna to even open her mouth - ever - is intolerable.😡🤢
The whole ep managed to hold its emotional pull by rejecting logic - which I actually have no problem with if it's how they are planning to counter the sour taste of the 'twist' aftermath.
Couldn't understand Madhu's reactions with the kid.😕
She's relaxed as if she's not with an armed man and his armed help, and the man the sort to leave his kid staked out as bait in a fight.😕
One can accept that Madhu didn't call home.
It's been just a few hours in the middle of the night, and she has no reason to know that anyone knows she is missing back at the film-unit-camp.
She had no way to know the fact that the whole unit is wide awake and in a state of panic because she disappeared into the surrounding wilderness, where they might have been less panicked had it been a cosmopolitan area.
But she is RK's wife, and while he no longer calls her 'Biwi', Bittuji's constant 'bhabhiji' leaves the crew in no doubt about her status.
So the panic is built up when RK is the one frantic.
But *why* was Madhu not trying to get away from there?
Why was she not fretting?
Why was she not counting the time until she would be allowed to leave from there?
Madhu's scenes with the kid looked as forcibly crafted to ensure future storyline as RK's not sticking around at the site where Madhu disappeared and instead turning up at the chawl (where his mother also coincidentally was with Padmini) and using his influence in the search for Madhu.
Madhu vis-a-vis the kid ensures a future enmeshing of Sultan into the Rishbala storyline, where otherwise his connection to Madhu would have no starting point.
RK's concern showcases his desperate care for Madhu, in the presence of Radha and Bittuji - who do not need the motivation to continue with their reconciliation campaign - and Padmini and Trishna as well, who may be varyingly affected at later points depending on tracks.
What held it all together was DVD's charisma and screenpresence, individually and - even more formidably - as a pairing even without actual physically being in the same scene.😳⭐️
And the song playing at the end for RK and Madhu was poignant and heartwrenching.😭😳
Logic was absent. But considering that logic was dead and buried for the 'twist', one need mourn it only a little so long as the lead pairing are both adequately present in the ep.😳😊
