Episode 212 Discussion: 6th March 2013 - Page 8

Everyone's pretty much covered why this episode isn't exactly memorable...so I won't get into that. What I couldn't help but do while watching was comparing RK and Sultan in the very few glimpses we got of Sultan today. He doesn't say much, but it is very clear that Sultan is a intelligent and controlled character, just like RK was until very recently. RK has always been two steps ahead of everyone, and maybe its because his character seemed so mysterious, but I think Sultan is no different. What is different is how they both react to Madhu. A lot of people brought up the scene where Madhu bites Sultan and indirectly compared it to the scene where she slaps RK four times. When RK was slapped, the cool, collected, manipulative persona that was RK vanished, and the anger and to an extent humiliation he felt was obvious on his face. Even when she gave him that fifth slap, he reacted furiously. But, when Madhu bit Sultan, he didn't react, still keeping that poker face, as though he was almost amused. Just a food for thought...

On another note...one of the many scenes today that didn't make any sense to me was with RK yelling Madhu's name and threatening to set the forest on fire and throw Bittooji in it if he called the police. First off, why doesn't he want to involve the police???? Is he taking his role of the Dabbang police a little too seriously and planning to go all Tarzan on us and search for Madhu himself?????

sultan is rk's enemy right?
is it the same guy bittuji talked about once b4 rk got shot
oops madhu is in danger
but what's the problem between them
is it related to that kid's disability?

Throughout the episode, only two things stood out to me as far as story progression is concerned:

1) Madhu is praying once again and you see Sultan emerging. That does not look good at all! It was rather just some more foreshadowing of the danger that awaits. It's going to take Madhu a lot more than chanting a few verses to be able to face this!

2) The whole thing with Madhu saving the boy, and then being chased by the goons just seems like a trap to me! It's as if though they were waiting for her to come save him.

Can I just say I'm completely awe-struck by Madhu? And no I'm not being sarcastic at all! ⭐️

She's impulsive, she's insane, and she can completely drive you crazy by her actions. But end of the day, she has her heart in the right place, and I rather find her inspiring!

Yeah, I admit her actions can sometimes be questionable. But that doesn't make her a fool.

When she saw the boy looking helpless, she could've by all means just turned around and kept walking away. This would've been the easier option.

But no, her gut instinct told her to go save the kid and I actually find that applaudable. 👏Now whether this was all set up by Sultan is a different story. But taking everything at face value, I immensely appreciate Madhu's daredevil act. Because it takes a lot to do what she did! I mean, Sultan shows up, points a gun at her and tells her to let go of the kid. Instead of doing what he said, she refused and tried to resist.

Even in the most disjointed episode in the show the CVs still kept Madhu's character intact!

I know she lands herself into trouble. But these troubles also did find their way to Madhu as well.

Now a normal person would've walked away from it. But I think it's already been proven enough times that Madhu is anything but the simple girl she claims to be (and I wish she soon stops calling herself that! ) Even RK was quick to realize that craziness in her and that's what really attracted him to her.

During RK's fake love confession to Madhu, he told her that if he is crazy then she is a lot more crazier than him.

And what did we see post the revenge drama? We saw Madhu get back up on her feet and try to continue with her day-to-day activities. She was determined to bring back that lost happiness. She even took up the challenge with RK. From my POV, I can only garner more respect for her.

And today once again she proved that she isn't someone to be underestimated.

Seriously, if I had all this time been seeing a show about a simple, normal girl, then I would've been totally flagger-basted by Madhu's actions today.

But no, I'm watching MEIEJ, where both leads are completely badass, and define insanity in their own ways. And no, insanity does not equal stupiditiy. At least, not for me 😆

I probably don't make any sense. But I find it hard to accept her actions as stupidity. It was rather instinctive and required of the situation. 🤔

That's why I quoted GB Shaw.

Cavalry marching with swords towards gun shots. Lampoon of world war 1.

All gallant acts are marked by stupidity, sense of idealism, and stroke of luck.

Divided between those who live to see victory and those who die on battlefield.

When in action, you can never back-out from what you started. So I forgave Madhu for her entire bravery feat in the jungle. If you read my page 1 take, I started questioning her acts once she wakes from the bed...as in now she is a captive.

From this point she is not gallant, she is just plain stupid. Any intelligent person cannot ignore that.

In Madhu's defence, I have upholded her bravery act until the point of her being in the jungle.

And as per Madhu's state of mind...its just too much to imagine that she replayed same dialogue of Dipali's comments of day time for infinity times in her mind (mind travels faster than light) until she hit the boulder to come out of her reveries in the night. How much clunk is that ? And why as a viewer cannot observe and hold on to it ?

I guess calling the police would indicate that all other means have failed and Madhu is already in harm's way. Or maybe RK is aware of Sultan's presence in the jungle and doesnt want to alert him of Madhu's connection with RK.

Never thought I say this but Sultan reminds me of Maan in the first few episode of Geet. If were to watch you would realize that Maan also use to roam around in the jungle as the sadu angry young man. Interestingly enough he doesnt remind me of RK since RK has this charm and sarcasm as a central part of the character and Sultan seems more serious and upfront about how he is inside. RK was pained from within put he hid it through shades of RK that use to laugh life off. Sultan seems more upfront and connected with his emotions.

P.S. Another thing I didnt like about today's epi was Radhaji announcing that now that RK has started to realize his feelings nothing can separate RK and Madhu? Right so Madhu was going to automatically forgive him?
