400 Episodes - MEIEJ !! Journey :D

Prem game of RK:

When we all in MB land along with Madhu were falling in love with RK, he threw a bouncer - Prem Game!!! That episode - February 9^th will be the most watched episode of Madhubala!! I don't think even d marriage episode had that many views. The way madhu walks towards the mandap, arraigned in suhaag ka red saree, with love filled eyes n smiling lips the way she walked towards RK with fanaa song playing in the bg!!! And RK in matching kurta looked so gorgeous!!! The minute he turns and sees madhu, the way he walks towards her - god it was such a beautiful moment!!!!

By then all of us knew that RK is going to ditch her! But we couldn't stop watching becos in heart of hearts we still hoped it may not happen. RK may not do this to madhu!! Just like madhu, we trusted RK!!! But what an act VD gave in that scene!! The way he elaborates his systematic plan to break madhu was too fantastic to believe. But that is what happened. Many fans tried to reason out may be RK is ill, that is why he's doing this. But no RK was being arrogant RK!!!

Madhu unable to believe it cannot take it. But whn it registers, she's broken!! DD's heartrending cry Mein kaise jeeyun didu!!!'😭 would have melted any stone hearted guy's heart. RK who wanted to break madhu, if had seen that scene, what would he have done!!! I don't think he could have borne it!!! I don't think our leads would have separated if RK had seen the emotional crying madhu!!!

RK thought life will be back to normal after his revenge drama! But life throws surprises at you!!! As Radha said, his love was hidden in front of his arrogance and ego. Slowly his love started paining him. He was missing madhu so much that every place (sets), every thing (swing) song (bahon ke darmiyan) reminded him of her. He does try to forget her but is unable!!!

One of the best part of the track was the resilience of Madhu!!! The way she tries to get on with her life ws the best part of the track. I wish CVs had shown more of that in this track.

Bheegi ...bheegi si hai raaten
Bheegi bheegi yaaden
Bheegi bheegi baaten

Bheegi bheegi aankhon mein kaisi nami hai
Sapnon ka saya palkon pe aya

Pal mein hasaya pal mein rulaya
Phir bhi yeh kaisi kami hai

Na jaane koi kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindgaani
Humari adhuri kahaani

Aadhi aadhi jaagi aadhi aadhi soyi
Aankhen yeh teri toh lagta hai royi lekar ke naam hamara
Rutha rutha rab chhuta chhuta sab

Toota toota dil tere bina ab kaise ho jeena gawara
Na jaane koi kaisi hai yeh zindagaani zindgaani
Humari adhuri kahaani

And then comes the next best part of this track. RK and Madhu's tashan!! That hindi movie dialogue scene, champi scene, madhu's first aid box gift, drunken scene - I could just go on and on!!! In this track RK was slowly realizing his chapter with madhu did not end with prem game, there is something more. He was ready to kill a guy who dared to touch his madhu. And inspite of all his betrayal, Madhu still cares for him. She didn't allow Bittuji to abandon his Chief. And whn RK hurt his hands, more than her, she took care of him via bittuji.

RK's love which he didn't evn realize slowly peeps out in these episodes. But RK being RK, will not easily accept it. He does fight it but was gloriously failing!😆

Suno na kahe kya suno na

Dil mera suno na, suno zara

Teri baahon mein mujhe rehna hai raat bhar

Teri baahon mein hogi subah

Be-intehaan

Yoon pyaar kar be-intehaa

Dekha karoon saari umar

Tere nishaan be-intehan

Koi kasar naa rahe, meri khabar na rahe

Chhoo le mujhe is kadar be-intehaan

Jab saanson mein teri saansein ghuli toh

Phir sulagne lage

Ehsaas mere mujhse kehne lage

Haan baahon mein teri aa ke jahaan do

Yoon simatne lage

Sailaab jaise koi behne lage

Khoya hoon main aagosh mein

Tu bhi kahaan ab hosh mein

Makhmali raat ki ho naa subah

Be intehaan, be-intehaan

Yoon pyar kar be-inteha

I really wish cvs had given this track to develop to its full potential. But when were we ever that lucky!The Great Sultan was brought in with lot of fanfare!!! He was elevated to the level of parallel hero!! I am not going to waste my time writing about him!

But sultan's arrival did one thing which would have taken much more interesting time to develop. It pushed RK to act immediately. He now felt Madhu whom he thought was his forever might move on her life without him and with some one. This made RK forcibly bring madhu back to his home and try to get her back in his life. That one scene where he forces madhu to tell who is the person in her life was so passionate! This is one couple who are more passionate while fighting than romancing!!!

But the way he went about for this was very negative which resulted in show losing out many fans. But still rishbala magic continued thanks to the sizzling chemistry of our leads. The bahon ke darmiyan song repeat was even more passionate than the first time. Madhu found it difficult to get away from this forceful RK, but when did she ever found him easy. He has been like that from the first!!!

Madhu and Sultan did start with a beautiful friendship thanx to his son Aryan. Wish the cvs have retained that friendship instead of muddling it with romance n attraction.

Madhu's lesson game

The aggressive RK forces Madhu to teach him a lesson. She wants to show him the value of love. So against her mother's wishes she goes back to RK to teach him a lesson. She is even ready to jump from terrace to prove that she's in love with him. Here Madhu proves to be equal to the obsessive RK in their junoon!!! Again like RK she fails to recognize that she's still in love with him. Love doesn't die that soon and the way she fell in love with a dented RK means she'll love him at every level in whatever way he is. She did not fall in love with perfect RK but a faulty RK only.

But unlike RK, no ego hides the truth for madhu. Soon she realizes that she is still in love with RK and she cannot break his heart. So she decides to surrender herself n her love to RK. Two mistakes she committed was confiding in sultan and allowing her friendship to continue and second in not confessing to RK.

But there follows one of the most romantic track in our show. Rishbala's mehendi, haldi were beautiful moments which should be safely guarded and viewed occasionally like a miser peeps into his hoarded gold. These moments make us believe in the existence of love in the world. Rishbala were in their own romantic world glowing and enjoying themselves. We were lucky to be a part of this beautiful romance.

But no romance can run its smooth course. Problems need to come interrupt the flow. It came in the form of sultan who blurts out madhu's initial plan. Though madhu tells him that she is not interested in any revenge drama as she's in love with RK, the damage is done. May be sultan intended it like that.

RK cant believe his Madhu, loving and caring madhu dared to think of taking revenge for his crime. And she confided that plan to another person is another bitter pill for him. This really breaks RK and he's so upset about it. That breakdown scene was the first time I saw VD excel in emotional scene. It was one of the most moving scene in madhubala. Madhu trying to make her RK understand her intentions and breaking down when she couldn't was the most touching scene.

And when RK drags madhu to shaadi ka mandap, it was anyone guess whether marriage will happen or not! None of us were sure that marriage will happen!!! The whole drama in front of the media leads madhu to think that RK intends another insult drama. She herself confesses her intended plan and how she couldn't do it because of her love for RK.

But finally what we all wanted happens!!! RK confiding his prem game to media and conceding that madhu was completely justified in trying to teach him a lesson. But then came the most beautiful moment of our show.

Our romantic RK goes down on his knees to request madhu's hand to complete their marriage ritual. And the way madhu joined him down to show none of them are high or low in their relationship but equal. The most eloquent proposal by RK was accepted with lan by madhu!!!

The final hug - evn there our RK has to give his caustic comment. So should I understand that you have forgiven and we are going to marry or after crying will we separate!!! That guy is really too much!😆

But as madhu keeps saying Tede hain, but RK tho hamra hain'!! We love him for this only!! He along with angelic Madhu are yin n yang in our teleworld!!!😳
