Secondly though RK's reactions are kinda natural, but still why does he keep chanting that "Madhu chose one" Bhajan ??? Did RK forget that Madhu already had given her everything for him, she cared for him when he broke her heart, she cared for him when he left her shattered ( Rembr she told BittuJee to go back to RK ), she never completed her Revenge bcoz she couldn't see him broken !!!!!! Though her acts are annoying but that doesn't means she loves Sultaan or Sultaan is more precious to her !!!!!

Very well Said! Sometimes I get confused of Madhu's expressions.

Dear PH and Channel,

What do you think is the average age of your audience? My guess is that you put us in the 13-14 age bracket. How else does one explain the complete lack of logic in MBEIEJ lately? In fact, now I'm wondering if I have insulted the intelligence 13-14 year olds by insinuating that your current track is good enough for them.

No, I'm not going to launch into a tirade of the innumerable flaws in your show. The MB fans on twitter and FB have been doing that for weeks and you have been steadfastly ignoring their heartfelt complaints. What I'm going to do is offer you one little advice that can help you reverse the sliding TRPs. Now you can roll your eyes and smirk at my naivet but I'm still going to go ahead. You see, I care too much for the characters you created, even if you couldn't create a good show around them.

Before I give my little piece of advice, please let me explain why I care so much about RK and Madhu. My reason is very simple - their outstanding chemistry. When I saw the show for the first time back in October last year, what pulled me in was the crackling chemistry between these two gorgeous people. What moved me was the way they set the screen on fire by just looking at each other. I sat through all the underwhelming side characters you created for months, only because you stayed true to Rishbala. I accepted the heartbreaking unwedding because it brought a new emotional and sexual tension to their relationship. I even accepted the totally unnecessary character of Sultan and the subsequent upheavals in their relationship. I even forgave you for puncturing the Rishbala wedding with Sultan's family saga and whole-heartedly thanked you for giving such a beautiful suhaagraat. And then you punched me in the face by making it clear that there will be no happily-ever-after for my Rishbala.

Do I sound like a silly little girl with my expectations of a happily-ever-after for the volatile Rishbala? Well I'm not. And this is where advice to you comes in.

So here is my little piece of advice - please check which show has been topping the TRP charts for the last one year. I'm sure you can tell without checking that it is Diya Aur Baati Hum. Ever wondered why it is always on the top? My theory is that it is so because it stays true to its title and hence, its spirit. It is a show about a married couple who are as connected to each other as the lamp is to light. Theirs is no grand passion like our Rishbala, just a complete acceptance of each other despite the differences in backgrounds, education and wavelengths. They don't stare into each other's eyes every day and say how much they love each other - they show it with their actions. By being each other's rock, by showing undying faith in each other, by instinctively understanding what the other is feeling, by communicating openly and by putting the other's happiness before their own. They are the ideal husband and wife. And hence, they get the all-important TRPs.

Lets come back to Rishbala. I'm all for their eye-locks, hand-holdings and passionate hugs. I treasured each and every scene of theirs till they got married for real. However, everything changed the day after the wedding. Maybe my expectations changed, I started expecting their passion to be backed by the stability of marriage. And this is where you let me down. Instead of showing undying faith in each other, they started telling each other half-truths from the second day of their wedding. Instead of mutual understanding, there were accusations and counter-accusations. Madhu's character was completely butchered and she turned into this insensitive woman who cared more for her 'friend' than her husband, who cared more for Sultan's mother than her own mother-in-law. Complete opposite of the DABH couple, eh? And then you wonder why the TRP audience is running away?

I saw yesterday's episode after many days after reading about the romantic scene in the WU. It left me feeling sickened. This Rishbala looked like a parody of the old Rishbala. Do you really think that showing rain-romance between Rishbala will make your audience forget just how shallow this relationship comes across as now? What good are those intense eye-locks when we know that Madhu went behind RK's back to get Sultan and his mother back into their home? What good are those passionate hugs when RK is wondering all the time why Madhu is hiding things from him? Do you really think that removing Sultan from the montage will make us forget his presence in the show?

Such lollypops work once in a while, but when you go about destructing a beautiful relationship and then expect the audience to tune in everyday only for the lollypops, you insult their intelligence. You must be feeling lucky about the TRP blackout for the next one month but that doesn't change the fact that this track has been unanimously rejected. If you don't want to end up with egg on your face when the TRPs come out a month later, just follow the DABH example - give some depth to the Rishbala relationship. Trust me, the TRPs will return the day Rishbala show complete faith and commitment to each other. Let them be volatile for everybody else but a single entity for each other. Am I expecting too much?

Lollypops? Thanks but No Thanks

Outstanding analysis, CR.⭐️👏

The title of the show Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, for me means Madhu is the love and care in the relationship, not only for RK but for others and RK is the passion and obsession that's how he knows to love with passion, how does this passion come about? Argument and fights, for Rishbala all their fights i'm thinking back who they have fought over about Mukund during his accident (Madhu putting Mukunds fight for justice first rather than giving RK an easier way out by taking the money, though Mukund and his family could use the money she fought for justice as that would have more impact on RK, to change him that he cannot get away with hitting people on the road whenever he pleases and pay them off, will no big consequence to himself) Shamsher and Padmini's marriage (their fought over them), Radhaji's relationship with RK, they fought over that too. So it is my opinion that the fulfillment of the title of the serial to give the couple passion happened because of their many misunderstandings, half truths accusations to each other bring misunderstandings and show the passion of the two characters RK and Madhu, that's why in this serial the lead pair do not have undying faith/understanding/communicating everything to each other (they do until a fight or argument starts), because the misunderstandings give the fights that lead to passion between Rishbala. If RK had faith completely unequivocal faith in Madhu where would be the obsession for Madhu. That's why I feel we are too hard on the storyline, Madhu is staying in character Mukunds fight for justice even now she worked in the same manner. RK is showing passion also.

I fully agree with whatever you have said.

I diifer only on 1 point and that is RK's chose one bhajan is natural because he can see that his wife is giving importance to her friend over him.

Believe me even if a 60 year old woman after 40 years of marriage behaved the way Madhu is behaving the Husband would ask the same question & refuse to tolerate the shit.

This is a new marriage. In fact RK can be referred for sainthood for tolerating madhu's crap. The best part is the CVs are trying to get symapthy for bhai and are actually managing to get sympathy for RK.

Maybe that is the hidden agenda. After all ask the trio in charge of the production team would they in real life tolerate such wives. They know even TRP audience doesnt. So yes my suspicion is they are glorifying RK thru the back handed route.

RK's insecurity is natural . That is bcoz Madhu has started hiding things from him, she gives soft looks to Bhai irrespective of the fact that he's a gangster whereas RK is her husband. And she still has that Soft corner for that Irritating Bhai God Knows why
BUT still I would say RK should stop asking that question of "Chosing". My argument is if he can remember about Madhu's soft corner for Bhai, then why does he forget what all Madhu did blindly in his love???

1. Even after he humiliated her in the most extreme way, still she NEVER moved on in life when she had full rights to do so. Now WHY?? Bcoz she LOVED him.
2. When she got the biggest heartbreak of her life, still she was worried about RK & asked BittuJee to go back to him. Why?? Bcoz she LOVED him😊
3. For the sake of his life, she kept aside her burning anger and ego & stayed that night in RK Mansion when he forcefully bought her back.WHY? Bcoz she LOVED him & couldn't see him hurt.
4.She dropped her Revenge Plan mid-way. WHy?? Bcoz again she LOVED him truly and couldn't see him broken and alone just like she was left in the chawl with nobody to support her.
5.She forgave him after everything and married him. Why??? U must know by now😉

Well my point of writing this essay was NOT bcoz I am supporting Madhu's actions. NO freaking way coz I am equally irritated & disgusted by her being a Samaj sevika & Gyaan Bantoing Nari 🥱
But she doesn't deserves to be questioned everytime by her husband that "RK or SULTAAN" thing.

nice analysis CR...have no doubt abt Rishbala's undying love for each other...Madhu doesn't want RK to involve in anything wrong...
Madhu's interactions with Sultan is hell annoying...
but y sympathies to the so called one month old friend?how easily is his criminal background ignored...

agree with Nikki that even RK should stop questioning Madhu abt whom to choose?bcoz she left everything for him...instead RK should ask her that she was the one who got him arrested for Mukku's case then y she ignores bhai's crimes? but our great CV's won't do that...
instead how conveniently they ignore it and give dialogues to RK that
"If a gangster won't show hooliganism then how will he feed his family"
don't remember the exact dialogue...

This is absolutely poor stuff from the CV's...one character is the cause of this downward slide instead of making him exit they try to accommodate him by butchering the other characters...only Bittuji,Mangesh,Patil and Munna are left to be ruined ... The damage is done extensively but it is not irreparable...

Firstly Madhu should slap Sultan and break all the friendship ties with him, I bet TRP's will deffo skyrocket...and above all remove this character from the show...

wonderful post CR...i wish CV's read this to get a clue...
