Madhubala ahaan!!!

My father died a few months ago and looking for mindless entertainment, I stumbled onto the world of Indian soaps.

Saw Geet, Qubool Hai and they fit the bill perfectly.

Moved on to Madhubala.

There are a fair few episodes missing on YouTube, but it didn't really matter. I watched the series as if it was an assignment that I had to finish. The leads, the story did not really impress me. Skipped a lot of the Ganpati and KC episodes as religion in serials irritates me.

Was really losing interest, till the unwedding episode. Couldn't believe something like that was shown on Indian TV. Was hooked after that and now toh I think I am a wee bit obsessed.

Madhubala and RK are atm my favourite fictional characters.

Madhubala before she was butchered was such a beautiful mixture of grace, innocence and insanity. I disagree with the reviews, which talk about RK being enamoured of Madhu's physical beauty the first time he saw her, it was more the paagal in him recognizing a apne level ki pagal.

RK-one has to applaud the brains that conceived and then wrote him. There is such perfection to his imperfections. There is interesting psychology there where he kept on saying I am a bad guy, don't fall for me and we along with Madhu did exactly that.

I just have one minor quibble, Madhubala was not the mindless entertainment I was looking for.

Thanks mate.
Yeah, Hum hai dewanee fits perfectly for both the show and the audience.

Nice post.

Nice post. Same here. I haven't saw any serial. But when in hostel everyone had watched the show, I also started to like them,their chemistry but 4 phera's unique wedding attracted me fully. I love Rishbala too. Well, Almost everyone became crazy for them at some stages of show.

Welcome to the forum dear.🤗 I am sorry to hear about your father. I loved what you said.😛 "Madhubala before she was butchered was such a beautiful mixture of grace, innocence and insanity. I disagree with the reviews, which talk about RK being enamoured of Madhu's physical beauty the first time he saw her, it was more the paagal in him recognizing a apne level ki pagal." So true,agree with you,other than found her a mesmerising girl he somewhere recognized that she was as insane as him.Both were hell crazy,acc.to me,he was fooling himself in the name of revenge,actually he loved him and wanted her near him no matter what,that's why he had gone for wedding,and If he hurt her being Right kameena,he helped her also indirectly or directly,many times,and she the jungli billi had an audacity to slap a superstar n aftr 4 phera wedding also was not ready to give up n than found the real Rishabh in him n fall for him.Everybody were with Rk for his superstardom n money but Madhu was the only one who didn't care a damn abt his stary status n saw behind all this n its the fact which touched Rk too.😳 All in all Mb was an unusual love story which i loved it fully.😛

hello there !
I am extremely sorry to hear about your father ! 🤗

I simply had to say something !

***AMEN***


And you said it well ! couldn't agree more ! Apne Level Ki Paagal ! hell yes! cause I doubt you find chicks like that who'd have the balls to come to a Superstar's set and create so much drama ! but but but.. I doubt he knew that she was equally insane as soon as he laid eyes on her.. when she revealed who she was, then he was amused. cause the girl he was looking for had come right to him ! so I totally get it when you say that he recognized the same insanity in her ! damn right ! well said ! I hadn't thought of it that way before ! 😆

as for the Ganpati track and the hospital track ! I hope you will watch them someday. you'd find certain key points in the story in those episodes :) RK's lack of faith ! and Madhubala's devotion !

RK, truly is imperfectly perfect ! What he says he is, is what you get ! no bull ! The unwedding had me by surprise.. but then again ! he swore revenge ! that exactly what he did.. in his level ! Couln't have had expected any less from him ! yes it hurt me to see Madhu heartbroken. but no doubt that she had touched the inner Rishabh in RK ! :)

aaand yes ! MEIEJ certainly is not mindless entertainment ! and I am not saying that as a RishBala fanatic ! 😳

Welcome to the forum !

Hi and thanks for the warm welcome🤗
Since my first viewing,I have gone back and seen most of the KC and Ganpati episodes.If I revised my coursebooks as much as I have revised MEIJ,I would ace all my exams.

Sorry to hear about your father...🤗
