M-EIEJ, Episode dated 12th April 2013 : A Conjecture

MB Team, Mr.Sourav Tewari, Raghuvir Shekhawat and all, curse you all for putting me in a state of ambivalence...

On the one hand the entire emotional torture that RK is putting Madhu through is repulsive to me...then on the other, am impressed for you all raising a very relevant and pivotal issue of "marital abuse" here (be it physical or emotional)...Kudos to you all for taking this risk...

As for my sentiments on today's episode...

Just as I had presumed "the process of degeneration" of RK has begun affirming my presentiments that I should shirk away of nurturing any hope of seeing any redemption in him...Needless to say this progresses or should I say digresses, my aversion to this person is on the rise...

Even after having induced Madhu to reveal her feelings for him and which she does despite all the emotional pain and torture he has rendered on her, his need to satiate his ego is the uppermost...There's not an iota of empathy in him despite seeing her in so much anguish...For him it's just "I, me and myself"...

Yes, one did get to see him making little efforts to appease his biwi in his own high handed ways and trying to recreate the lovely past moments they had shared...With no realization that these very acts of his that seemed to have won her over in the past are the very ones that bring back to her the memories of deceit and lies accompanied to all these...

One more interesting aspect that the CVs have highlighted here that a person who is a hero in the public eye, in real life might be a complete contrast to his public image...

On closure, besides these other appealing features of the episode were the dialogues and the performances which have become the mainstay of Madhubala...

Raghuvir, besides apt verbosity like the rephrasal of famous movie lines (today it was from KKHH) that you pitch in...

Vivian, he is impressive as the demented and megalomaniac RK.

Drashti, she has the capability of eliciting empathy from her audience...one is in pain on seeing her character in pain or vice-versa...

Nice post.

But i don't agree with one thing. Its not RK's ego that has to be satiated instead its his madness; all he understands or wants to know is whether he still is the center of Madhu's universe. This is one issue that is essential for him. the dialogue: 'Hum saans kyun letay hain?' 'Jeenay kay liye' 'Same page'. completely conveyed the fact that RK is not being driven by his ego, rather its his obsession with Madhu thats blinding him at the moment.

Madhu was at her very best . She was surprised seeing RK's behaviour . Madhu could not imagine any person can be so selfish .

RK has lost it completely . He needs to really pick himself fast otherwise Madhu will go away from him completely .

!! exactly. i thought that, him saying those exact words, would drive the point home like nothing else has. It's evident that his ego isn't calling the shots right now, it's his single minded obsession to have her with him that's making him go to all these lengths.

I think you guys are right! But what do you guys think of his reaction to her statement that she is broken. he came across as insensitive to her tears, rather he wanted her to talk more. I was thinking, that may be once he sees her pain, he will introspect and try to undo the damage he did. Not for once, he tried to wipe her tears. Why us saying sorry or at least requesting her for another chance is problem fr him. now i think he realizes that he was wrong. What do u guys think?

it seems as if part of the reason he isn't willing to accept the enormity of what he's done is because he knows deep down that rationally no one in their right mind would forgive someone for something that huge; but what he also fails to see is that, although upset, Madhubala loves him tremendously and if it came down to it, given enough time, she would forgive him anything. the rest is just his blind insecurity that's making him lash out like this, once he gets over all these overwhelming feelings, the fact that she isn't happy is going to be the first real thing that registers with him.

Yes, once one comes out the shock and the disgust the episode evokes, one takes note of the other aspects of the show.

VD is doing a great job of reprising a maddened and outrageous lover. Hats off to him for taking up such a risky role. He's lucky that he's got the chance to play such a difficult role. He'll definitely be noticed and appreciated.

DD's emotive power is amazing. Her eyes speak a million words. I'm happy she's been given a truly challenging role and she has come up trumps.

The writers have been great, ...especially for RK, though I don't like where they are going with story and the characterization. I didn't realise that they were using lines from movies. Which ones, specifically?
