We open in RKham, where the pooja is going on in full swing. Because that's what concerned moms do when their son is attacked by unknown assailants: open the house to lots of people.
The police come and tell RK that because nobody knew that he was going to go and have a gulal body wrap for Ganpati Visarjan, clearly someone close to him is responsible for the shooting. Because in this world there is no such thing as a crime of opportunity.
RK poohpoohs the inspector's 'thooory'. Because he isn't entirely stupid our RK, he says none of the people around have the balls to plan a murder and all have a vested interest in keeping him alive. So the pretty face isnt entirely witless.
Police go away. How pointless was that scene? sikky, kukku are relieved.
RK wisely decides that he doesn't want to do any more pooja because it might it give god indigestion. Too much of a good thing etc.
madhu has had a really good makeup artist this episode, because she looks radiant. Hubby really does have good taste-- she looks fantastic in this sari. She decides to help her hubby up the stairs. Any chance to cop a feel-- he looks absolutely delicious with that tika. I'm thinking VD is going to get Bollywood offers soon, in which he has to be a daku or a kshatriya prince--i.e something involving him wearing a kurta and a tika. Possibly a turban.
Speaking of VDs, malik looks like he has one. There is altogether too much fondling of his crotch going on. It's really not pre-watershed tv, is it?
RK tells Madhu that perhaps she is the one trying to kill him. Madhu agrees, and then they have an entirely adorable exchange. It manages to discuss the hospital death scene and their growing trust in each other without being obvious or trying to get the message down our gullets using heated pokers. What? Bad dialogue hurts, ok?
That scene gets an A from FQ.
It concludes by Madhu grabbing the hurt arm, but we'll ignore that. RK says he can get about by himself and doesn't need her support. It's all v heavy and sexy and there are actual allusions and subtlety. No anvils in sight! Like, what happened here? Did the writers/ director get a shot of that rare tropical disease-- talentitis?
pooja continues. malik decides to go in search of RK to get rid of his crotchal itch. Yes, yes, that's RK-- turning straight men gay since 2002.
Madhu is blissfully radiant as she chats to her MIL. And remains so until she speaks with Deeps, Vampy Vamp Of Vampshire, who brings her swiftly back to earth and then proceeds to pummel every bit of happiness, confidence and trust out of her using just the power of her words. Seema Mishra, take a bow.
malik overhears this conversation and this further strengthens his resolves to kiss RK. KILL rk, I mean.
he makes his way up the infinitycase, as all the security guards etc are busy clapping away to the bhajans.
BECAUSE! wait for it---
madonna has come to the Jagrata! Witness the large gap in the front teeth, the bad costume, the bad voice, and the masculine musculature!
Then Madhu sings and most troubling of all, so does Kukku. This is all end of the world stuff.
Upstairs, Malik gazes longingly at the hot new pics of RK. And fondles his crotch some more. He enters the darkened bedroom and takes out the knife. Er, I say it's a knife, but it looks more than anything like something you'd find in an adult store.
This is all getting very hot and bothersome very fast.
malik plunges his long knife deep into RK. I promise, I'm not making this up. The lights come on. And this isn't a euphemism for something else either-- RK has literally turned the lights on. He doesn't believe in energy efficient lighting, we note.
madhu comes looking for Malik. Longest bit of intercutting ever! Uberannoying!
malik and RK have a man to man, but not in that way, gutter minds. Most of it unnecessary. It even features Malik buying a gun, for gods' sake. I think the upshot is that RK has some sort of respect for Malik. But he neatly dodges Malik's question as to why Madhu has fallen in love with a man like RK. Ther's a nice character sketch of Madhu in there, btw.
So all of that wasn't bad.
But just as they're about to reach the business end of the conversation, ( careful gutter-minds) Madhu finally reaches the bedroom!
