*****Last Week that Was - Landmark to Rishbala story*****
Last week, we have had beautiful and must read posts to understand the ongoing and future story tracks of MEIEJ show. We have had a motley group of US timezone regulars being joined with our India time zone poster Leela. She has been a huge hit with the regulars here. ⭐️
Every one, a round of applause for her. 👏
Some asked her that she should open her own separate thread. However, I would request her not to leave us and continue to make her posts here. Its a symbiotic association here. This is a discussion thread and she can post the way she wants with ease and plenty of time considering she has logistical problems such as net/power supply issues while trying to put up her posts. And we the readers in return here get to enjoy reading it and making the discussion a LIVE thread. Remember this is Readers and Viewers Respite thread ? !! 😃
The 12th October thread been a huge success and had as many as 3830 views. Our biggest so far ..Isn't that great ? 👍🏼
Coming to the short summary of what passed in the weeks past post Stranded at the Studio track. Three tracks started in tandem one after the other.
- Dipali Track
- Ganesh Sthapna and Visarjan track
- RK as extortion target track
We can conclude that Dipzy's purpose in the story is served. She was supposed to be a catalyst for RK and MB to come closer. And that has happened. Rishbala now not only share the room together, they share the bed too with the pillows as the divider. RK upheld his 4-phera marriage with MB and vowed that he will never forget honouring her as his wife. Likewise MB too declared to Dipzy, she will fulfil all the responsibilies of being RK's Dharam-patni even if it was the 4-phera marriage.
Further Dipzy's endevors to separate the duo worked contrarily, with RK and MB accepting what they are to each other and to Dipzy and how they will not allow a third person to come in between them. Trust on each other leads them to share a comfort level with each other that allows them to have small talks, smile and take liberties with each other to care for the other in the manner they want to. Be it RK holding her leg or calling her to bed or MB indulging in wifey-talk of wanting to know the color preference or asking hubby when he is gonna tie the mauli, or both refusing to answer each other's questions without cudgels in their hands to blow each others brains.
What was interesting for me to watch in the last two weeks was MB smiling for the first time in front of RK and happily smiling at him behind his back. What was even more interesting was the title track of MEIEJ played when they were having these cute moments. Yes, if people have noticed, it is the song from Chalti ka Naam Gaadi picturized on Actress Madhubala and sung by Kishore Kumar.
This leads me to bring to your attention the 100 years of commemoration of cinema in MEIEJ story. Time and again we see the filmy style of presentation rather than the soapland presentation. Be it copy-cat scene from Deewar when RK starts ringing the small bell before Ganesha or the presenting us the Real-life resurrection of Amitabh Bacchan in the aftermath of fatal accident he had on the coolie set.
We now go to the second track - Ganesha
This is a landmark to Rishbala story. And one cannot stop wanting to go on what it meant for Rishbala. I would resist myself becoming a spill and will just summarize in short.
The track metaphorically establishes dissolution of RK and MB that they have been all this time in order to get assimilated with God only to be blessed by HIM to have each other albeit in set path of trials and tribulations. Following God has never been easy. Won't you agree with that.
What this track achieves is:
- MB takes the cue from RK and like him decides to care for him and the first step that she takes is to heal him by addressing his past hurts. She can do nothing to return his Dad, but she can try to get him reconciled to his friend Bappa and his Momma. A thing that MB may never have imagined to do for a man who ruined her life.
- RK allows his wife to be a catalyst in him regaining his faith for Bappa. A thing that RK never allowed anyone to work upon him.
- RK regains his faith making it a symbolic end of RK and rebirth of Rishabh Kundra.
- And when Bappa seems to be claiming RK all for himself, She asks Bappa to give him back to keep her promise to his mother and for Rishabh's sake. She is ready to forego her faith if Bappa doesn't heed to her prayers. A real drama of a clinical death of RK and resurrection of Rishabh Kundra through faith.
The extortion track keeps moving in parallel, with viewers being reminded how the Film Industry is affected with extortion related crimes. Goes back to MEIEJ being the supposed commentary on the Bollywood. Now that RK is out of danger, there is a big question on who actually shot RK. Interesting theories have come through these discussions leading us to discuss Shamsher Malik's possible involvment in trying to kill RK and what may be his motives. For the purpose of dramatics, the CVs choose to take extortion to back-seat and make the shoot-out case like Gulshan Kumar murder case. Remember Nadeem got him killed 😆
I will now present with links to interesting and informative posts we had last week.

Leela exposits the gradual juxtaposition of character traits of Madhu and RK. She also takes us to the subtleties of Ganesha track and the paradigm shift of Madhubala's relationship towards RK and God. She analyses re. Madhubala's faith, her marriage and RK. over here

And it was probably these prayers that saved Bachchan as well, not to take away anything from Dr Farokh Udwadia and his battery of doctors who worked hard to save him.

When Amitabh was in the ICU of Breach Candy Hospital after the 'Coolie' accident, Jaya Bachchan used to walk barefoot daily from the Hospital to the Siddhi Vinayak Temple, six kilometres away, praying for his quick recovery.
