Kindred bondage?

I realized today just how interesting Madhu's character is. Especially in the same frame as Dutta. I mean, I really liked their few moments of interaction - specifically that one scene in which she fed him and he asked her about her life in London - because I feel that their relationship goes deeper than the one he has to his other "siblings". It's strange, isn't it? Madhu just entered his life a few months ago and already she cares for him more than his other "sisters" ever did.

        U put my thoughts into words, completely agree with u here, the relation of Madhu with dutta went lull which otherwise could have been such an interesting track, a complete let down by the CVs. 😔

I have to disagree.....Madhu as a character has not been fleshed out well at all and barring that one scene when she feeds Dutta and talks to him, hasn't been given a single genuine moment in this show which would give her character credibility....all she does is flounce around in a hyper manner going "mamma mamma" or cry about why no one pays attention to her in PN and wait for Baaji to console her......the character has not been given much depth and was kinda randomly just thrown into the show and now in keeping with the way characters randomly appear and disappear in this show......she's in disappear mode currently and Roops gets a few scenes instead.

It really can't be said for sure which sister is really "genuine" in that sense cuz the whims and fancies of the creatives keep on changing....when it suits them, suddenly Roops is missing Dutta and wishing he isn't dead and comes back....and Madhu has dropped off the face of the earth....and when it will suit them, Madhu will be back again just in time to probably shed tears of happiness when Dutta returns....and Roops will randomly turn evil again....they don't leave much credibility for the characters in that sense.

And I disagree that Madhu is the only family Dutta has left.....in my opinion, the only real family Dutta has are Nakku and Baaji.....family is not just about blood relations. The Madhu-Dutta "bonding" in this show has been forced at best barring the dinner scene.

Interesting arguments.

 

First, I do think that Madhu started out as a genuine character and still is. Compared to Kala, Leela, and Roops, she's the most genuine of the sisters - the only sister who has truly shown that she cares for her brother. Hmmm so the only criteria for "genuine" is that the person in question be a "positive" character? Being a "positive" character automatically makes Madhu a great character? I disagree again....to make a character genuine, their motivations need to be shown beyond a "Oh you're my long lost brother, I love you muah muahh"😕....I find those to be quite superficial characteristics. We are TOLD that she's positive....and her bonding with the characters has been THRUST on to them....no sense of subtlety.

I don't see how she's hyper or flounces around. She reminds me a lot of Nakku in the beginning of the show. Talkative, honest, smiling, and someone who wants to be close to the people that she cares about. Woahhhh there! She reminds you of NAKKU??😲😲😆.....Ok again I have to disagree vehemently....Nakku has her child-like traits of naivete no doubt but Madhu doesn't....Madhu comes across as more whiny and ignorant than anything else....whiny that ppl aren't giving her love just cuz she's shown up as Dutta's sister....and honestly innocence toh bahut door ki baat hai....just cuz she keeps childishly demanding for Dutta's love doesn't make her the same as Nakku and lastly the actress playing Madhu can't bring across that innocence that Nakku has in a million years....she looks older than Baaji.

 

I do agree that the CVs keep on changing some of their characters. For instance, Roops and at times Leela. But I sense that Madhu is earnest by heart. She is the sister that Dutta deserves. Really? So this is just about deserving? Madhu has a big stamp of POSITIVE CARING SISTER on her forehead so she is the only one who is worthy of being Dutta's sister? No matter how superficially those "caring" traits are shown?.....I'd think Dutta would deserve a sister who has some depth and complexity to her character more than anything else....a sister who has more to life than just running around crying "bhaiyya bhaiyya" and "mumma mumma"....why are we never shown any of Madhu's motivations beyond her obsession with wanting Dutta's affection and overnight becoming BFFs with Nakku? Dutta is such an interesting, complex character and his "deserving" sister is so one-dimensional? Sad.....Roops may be "evil" but atleast they've shown more layers to her character in comparison.

 

 

And if one looks closely at the one moment between him and Madhu in which he opened his heart, one will notice that he hasn't shared such a moment with either of his other "sisters". That alone, in my opinion, speaks a lot about their relationship and its potential depth. That is, if the CVs decide to dig deeper. That moment was also born of the fact that Madhu was talking to him about NAKKU....Dutta shares a different sort of relationship with each of his sisters....it's different with Kala, it's different with Roops....if we want to talk moments, I also loved the moment during the DP track when Dutta is worried about Roops and she comes down to save Baaji and Dutta kinda pats her on the head affectionately....he shares a unique relationship with Roops that way too which the creatives haven't bothered fleshing out either.

This thought has always been on my mind since the day Madhu entered the show.Thanks for bringing about this post😊 You have spoken my mind.

I find it interesting that in the case of Madhu, we are expected by some ppl not to say anything about the character since it is all the "creatives's doing", but when it comes to Roops, then it's fine to say whatever cuz apparently then the "logic" of "let's only blame the creatives" doesn't seem to apply.....very interesting😆
