Is there a single character in MBverse, in their senses who know what they want out their life?
There is our self-righteous heroine Madhubala Shamsher Malik, who is a chronic case of Stockholm syndrome, always finding new ways to hang around her captor. She won the challenge. She showed her ex-husband his right place by rubbing reality into his face. Didn't she quit her job and wander into the jungle in her pensive mode? Why is she back on sets then? Oh right! We now have this game of indifference between the two.
There is the typical TRP mother, Padmini, who, conveniently fails to knock sense into her daughter's brain. I am sorry, but Padmini's reactions since this revenge fiasco are beyond my comprehension. She needs to get a whip, to free her daughter from this RK mania.
There is the heroine's elder sister, Trishna, who seems to have grown so much brain overnight, that viewers find it almost difficult to handle. One day, she questions her sister, in all possible ways, to ensure that her relationship with her ex-husband is never going to be revived under any circumstances. And then there is today, where she is the one who divulges his efforts to locate her and his turmoil while she was missing, as if almost hoping to see some positive reaction from her sister.
There is our so called HERO/PROTAGONIST, who can degrade himself to any levels in front of his mother and his assistant, to cover up his vulnerable side. He comes up with some pathetic C/D whatever grade dialogues to justify his concern and hysteria for his missing wife. Oh! He even dreams about her, leaving him for another man, while the man seems to be haunting him with his eyes. (RK knows those eyes for sure). If that is not enough, the scary element is added to his dream, with him foreseeing the man throwing a dagger at him. A sure shot foreboding for the upcoming track. The dream leaves him terrified for the thought of losing her to another man, and guess who he seeks solace in? His ex-flame come SIL come his film's heroine/vamp Dips Sikki Bhatia. The scene has left a permanent distaste in my mouth.
To our mercy, we have Sikky Bhatia witness this scene. Sikky, I have never loved you more. Please, throw your wife out of your life, before we are tortured by the CVs to see a track reviving RK-Dips relationship.
Now comes the most confounding scene. How is it possible for this man to be so indifferent and obnoxious around the woman, who makes him lose his senses, gives him spine-chilling premonitions and makes him naked in front of his ex-flame (whom he loathes to the core)? I mean, is it even doable in reality? How many people can pull off that kind of an act? Why do you have show this contrast CVs? What cue are you trying to give to the viewers?
Sikki and Radhaji were the only characters who came across sensible today. I feel for both of them. Today, I don't even feel for Madhu.
Sultan, is a man on mission. Looks like he is going to rope in Madhu for his son, at gunpoint, in broad daylight, in front of her husband. What more do we need to conclude that Madhu is his bait to reach RK? RK recognizes those eyes for sure, coz they are haunting him since he peeped into them through that car window. But looks like, we have a jealousy/insecurity track coming up. I don' think anything is actually going to happen between Sultan and Madhu. It will only be conjuring up in RKs head and push him more towards destruction. Realization doesn't look in near picture.
Now, one request to CVs. It is high time that you actually show a love realization/acceptance track for RK. I do not care if Rishbala unite sooner or later. But it his high time, that RK realizes his mistakes, his loss and at least start resurrecting himself. I do not care much what track you have planned between RK-Sultan(though I am looking forward to it). But, this perplexing plot line is making me lose my interest in RKs character., and consequently this show. It is high time you actually bring back your so called PROTAGONIST of the show in white light, and show him as an actual PROTAGONIST. As a viewer, how long can I continue watching a show, where I get to see nothing but a despicable and vulnerable hero? What would be my motivation to tune into your show everyday?
There! A long rant for today. Sorry. Just had to get to get this out of my system.
