It was a plot-progression episode in every sense.
Padmini-Shamsher scene - Needed
Padmini asks Shamsher, where he has been loitering...and he gives an answer that he went to see his daughter. So Shamsher is seen by his daughter and used the same to cover up his act when Padmini asked. I am still confused what he thinks of himself as, but he sure is coming out as one focussed man set on achieving what he wants. Though all of it just reminds me of Raskolnikov where the act of killing is more thrilling than n number of purposes he attaches to the killing. Call me wacko , the man is wacko and the track is wacko.
Dipali -Madhu (Bhabhi -Devar cat-fight) - Not Needed
Needed one. But if you ask me the whole DIPS thing ...Send her off to London again. Please. We don't need her. She has the grand audacious plans to serve RK a breakfast of her choice. Seriously !!! Does she have a brain in her head ? 🤪
Radhaji announcing to the Bahus ...Mata ki Chowki arrangements - UNNECESSARY
Do I even need to talk ? No way...Check the IF segment. It has new video with Madhu's green saree. I don't like that.
Kukku-Sikky Scenes - Filler scenes but goes to plot construction
That they are being dogged by their creditors and they are on the run. That's a build-up again for yet another ruse that the duo seriously need to harm RK...need to fish him for money. Just that its so DAMN PREDICATABLE !!!! 😡
Chawl scene - ( Progression scene)
We have police trying to track the killer. They reach Shamsher's Chawl. What exactly they have on him, we are not yet made privy to it. But yes, Shamsher realizes that his locket is lost...it was pulled by RK in the hospital tussle.
RK scenes - NEEDED and NECESSARY but fails in the dramatic emphasis.
RK brings Madhu's Ganesha from her previous room. We are not shown him walking around. We are informed by him that he brought the idol by himself. His talk with Ganesha is RK style..all friendly and further he reveals that he actually was asking for a punishment from him and he liked Ganesha's punishment (getting shot and almost dying).
Madhu listens to all this. What was missed in the plot-play, is failure to show Madhu as surprised...because I was. The viewers and Madhu never knew what RK thought of getting shot immediately after his surrender to Ganesha. So when he reveals, wouldn't her guilt go away for being the reason to get shot? She is shown very complacent on that piece of info...totally not registering it.
However, if we ignore that, then as follow-up to yesterday night's scene, RK as let Madhu know of Rishabh and his Dad's relationship, we are shown that RK finally has made peace with his Dad's death and keeps the picture on the drawer and offers his prayers.
That peace being made...we are shown then Radhaju watching all of this...but her time has not yet come. She is still an outsider to RK.
