brilliantly worded analysis leela 👏...the weakness and the strength of the show are DVD's mass popularity,so much so that if the focus of the show shifts away from them even for a few epis then everything starts to go pear-shaped.
It is a drawback because for shows like DABH...the story easily shifts between the leads and the peripheral characters without losing steam and viewership however it's just the opposite for MB.Strength because people tune in for them even in the absence of a credible/engaging plot...yes maybe not in huge numbers but decent enough to garner respectable TRPs...haven't heard of any other onscreen couple being able to manage that feat barring Arshi.
While dedicating considerable footage to the trio(AK/JM/Raj) will showcase the growing bond between RaGya,however beyond a point it starts getting repetitive and the plot,which displayed promise at the beginning of previous week,seems lost in the childish antics of AK in the name of revenge. The premise has been set up...Raju's a vulnerable adult,Madhu's primary concern is his safety and AK's only motive in life is to make JM's life miserable...now what??how many more epis will be sacrificed in this cat and mouse game? The reason why RK's devious ploys to humiliate Madhu after the 4 phera wedding was entertaining is because Madhu usually retaliated in her own unique way leaving RK stumped and frustrated and the audience enjoying a battle of equals!! JM has got to amp up her game to make it more entertaining,or more should be revealed about Raj,like all this is just a pretense and he's completely with it...but playing everyone else at his own game,so that viewers have something to look fwd to in future and not get exasperated with the current track.
DVD in MB and our Love for them is like Madhu's Ishq and RK's Junoon.. this Ishq n Junoon is what made Rishbala Unique both in Good ways and Bad ways...
