I've said this on numerous occasions but how is this love? Such behaviour cannot be considered love. RK is simply imposing himself on Madhu. I don't care if he's a grey and complex character. That cannot be used as an excuse to defend his actions. I don't believe for a second that he is redeeming himelf. No way. I see no remorse, only arrogance and the need to be a control freak. Indeed he is no less than Ballu, who also found pleasure in torture. Only difference is that RK doesn't use violence. But the intention is pretty much the same.
