The Prologue to Face-Off between RK and Sultan. They meet but RK is not in his senses.
RK
Its downward spiral for RK the way it had been before he met Madhu. It was aimless existence then and now its obsessive interest in Madhu. Will death be a solution to his problems ? Could be. Very Possible. Can he end his life. He can if you ask me. Nothing to lose, nothing to gain there. As simple as that. His mother will be pained. And who else will be pained ? All the others can live. Life is ephemeral and if it doesn't make any sense, we can end it...just that there should be no desire left in us to live, there should be courage to do it...but Nope ...searching for accidental death is not done. RK !!! ...not done...you driving drunk on lone roads at night...not done. Better idea...Take a gun and shoot your brains like Hemingway...or pop a whole bottle of pills like Monroe or drinks like Guru Dutta ...or I don't have suicide ideas. One can just hope to get accidental death like Divya Bharti and Heath Ledger. RK you might just wish it...but real man should be able to explore all possibilities and then end his life...It takes guts if you ask me.
He does understand though...and asks logical questions still...yes what would have been the consequences had he not done drunk driving and had hit Mukund...Interesting though...
Sultan
The man refuses to stay away from Madhu. He needs to enter her life again and again. And why ? He calls it Destiny. Fate. I liked that. Well lived that much life atleast to understand it. He says, no one comes and goes in and out of life just like that...Fate governs it and everyone needs to adjust their appointment calender. Did Madhu and Padmini get it ? They seemed to need it. But did they understand ? No. That's life ...its difficult to understand.
And the same wise guy on his return path, meets up RK. Destiny right ? He was supposed to meet him. Just that he doesn't know if he is supposed to kill him or drop him at home.
Bermuda Triangle or the Devil's Triangle.
Madhu is already messed up between Sultan and RK. RK is messed up between zombie two eyed man and Madhu. Now Sultan is getting messed up between Madhu and RK. His visit to Madhu was not necessary except the fact that it led him to meet RK. Whose ship is going to sink between the three. Something seriously needs to get capsized in those dangerous currents.
What did I like about today's episode ?
- It was gripping drama.
- The fear felt by two women when they were plagued by a man over phone. a man whom they knew and then they heard the thumping knock at the door. Loved that fear on their faces. They needed that big time...Hauslon Se Veer hai Jo Dono. A reminder for them that they need to chant that mantra 24x7...unfortunately they forgot.
- That RK stopped calling Madhu when he got the hint she will not answer him and instead calls Padmini's phone. Well that shows he was serious about getting the number rather than just keep quiet.
What I did not like about today's episode ?
- The Precap...the mother daughter hug and their idealistic sense of Atma Samman and the old mother asking her young daugher...now go and return the money...ja uske mooh maar aa. What is that called..."Aag mein Ghee daalna"
- Sultan comes to the Chawl totally unsecured, and no one at the Chawl sees him. Was it 9 PM or 10 PM India time ? Was it midnight ? Still mother-daughter did not have food ? Where is Trishna now ? Conveniently sent off to Timbuctoo ?!!!!
What am I not liking ?
If families members get involved, if external people get involved...where is this going ? Its like the Phase I period. Madhu supported by family fuelled by them...Cannot talk much as it shall become speculation.
Its like Khandaan...and much later the Doordarshan Soap Junoon serial...With mighty starcast such as Mangal Dhillon, Radha Seth, Shashi Puri, Tom Alter, Kitu Gidwaani, Vijayendra Ghatge...you take their name and they were there...and what was ailing then all...JUNOON...never ending...never satisfied...one after the other...UNSTOPPABLE. My brain got messed up in between and I started getting confused, why was X after Y and eventually I bid adieu.
