Ignoring the Occam's Razor's principle.
Why is it difficult to understand RK ? Everyone seems to ponder.
And what an irony it is that those people who want to know him so much, when he explains him in simple words, people say "Apni Bakwaas Band karo!" Why would they want to look for other explanations.
Today Shamsher does that at one time. It was pathetic how Shamsher decided to just ignore what RK was saying about him respecting his actions as he understands a father's emotions. That Shamsher then had to be pulled back from his flying horses when RK recedes back to employ his histrionics and show him, if in all of this vendetta, does he actually think what his daughter would have to say for his actions. We have been all along saying this that Shamsher has lost it. So finally one human contact with his mind and actions has made him see sanity. Once I compared Shamsher to Raskolnikov. The act pleases him more than the consequences. That's what happened today. Shamsher suddenly realized what all of this means and where it was leading to.
Today Madhu too decided to look beyond RK simple explanation as that answer was not serving the purpose of her curiosity. Then why does she ask a rhetorical question, instead of direct one? That takes me back to Radhaji, who is so happy to misunderstand her son.
We may not have liked that from Madhu, but Madhu was being herself. All in her character. When has she ever analysed anything like RK. She has always jumped to conclusions. LIke Leela says, so happy with her vain trait of being self-righteous. She would have really taken the fight to a dirty slandering fight, but RK bestows the dignity to it by cutting her in the middle and giving her anger a proper direction and making her ask the right question to him.
Of course RK wanted the fight to happen in a proper manner, because, wasn't he thinking about her a few minutes back when she brought him his food. All it takes to understand another person is to be receptive to information and letting go of our assumptions. RK was doing that. He understood Shamsher's anger and obsession. And continuing on the same he tries to understand Madhu and her limits unto obsession for sacrificing her life to save her adopted father. RK remembers Madhu's facts about her real father. This is his way of looking at Madhu's emotions.
Other than people around RK ignoring that simple principle of life to take things at face value than assumptions, the episode had nice progression in terms of underlying story. How ?
The embers turning into flints
No doubt that RK-MB love story is a fiery one. But today, I felt on the deeper level of emotions calling for RESOLUTIONS, RK's heart decided for him that, his hate story for Madhu may still have the embers there, but he would rather start using flints to create the spark needed for his love story. And today he embarked on that journey.
Have we all not noticed, how it bothered RK that Madhu was angry and not talking to him. Well in the past she was his puppet. He needed to control her every thought process as he always watched her. Even today he is disturbed like his earlier days. His anxiety, body language and concern everything was showing that he wants to know what's going on in her mind. But the difference was also starkly noticeable. Today, it was a genuine concern as to why this eccentric Biwi of his has gone into silent mode. He knew that he did not do anything that should have caused her pain. Then why? That concern and curiosity could have been easily quenched through his arrogant questioningm but RK coaxes Madhu through using her own previous states like referring to her as Mr.India.
So somewhere along RK has started to feel that he does not want his wife to think bad about him or close herself to him. And so when rightly he has not hurt her in any manner, why would she close herself to him? That really was paining him. A lot. He was almost about to blurt why Shamsher was there giving out the true reason to be in her good books, He was so vulnerable out there in his want of her warmth and nearness. But soon the stronger man within him prevails and against his own desires, he assumes not begging for warmth self and assumes his secretive magnanimous self and cares for his Biwi's heart like a good samaritan by stopping himself.
Of course he is RK, he is sure to twist his way out of that diffucult situation imposed by his wife. And that another wait until tomorrow.š
All in all very interesting and moving episode. With good focus on all the rest of the characters mannerisms. None have regressed but progressed today.
