Episode 126 Discussion: 16th Nov 2012

Plus, he's plainly standing for his wife😳, and has finally made it clear to the Bhatias that Radha won't be able to save them if he feels compelled - by their actions - to act against them.😃

I loved the way he talked about his mother fondly like she was dead - with her sitting right next to him.👏😆

The boy is going to be the husband his wife needs😳, and I hope to God that Madhu soon hardens up against the leech foursome🤢 and especially Radha🤢.

RK needs people to protect him especially from his own 'family'🤢. Bittuji alone can't cut it, and Madhu is still naive in recognizing people.

But as they both gain RK's regard and develop a parent-child bond with him beyond the in-laws relationship, they are certain to establish the relationship with him even independently of Madhu, which is - ironically - sure to please her since RK and Madhu seem to now operate in reaction to what is expressed vis-a-vis each other rather than themselves.😳

RK has tolerated slights to himself in his home without especially retaliating, but he spoke out with courteous but deadly firmness to protect Madhu from the same.😃

And Madhu too has been holding the way RK is treated as the meter by which she maintains her own relations with the people in question.😳 She is still floundering in her desire not to truly understand the venality and putrid moral corruption of the four Bhatias. But it has become staggeringly clear that nothing she owes anyone - even her adored Maalik - weighs heavier with her than RK.😳 Her parents favouring RK as much as or more than her would almost assuredly please her immensely.😊

Padmini will, I think, have a harder time than Madhu in forgiving Mallick.😭 She is, first and foremost, a mother. Her gratitude to Mallick for all he has done for her and her daughters pales into insignificance at the thought that he intended to himself turn Madhu a widow within the first few months of marriage rather than be horrified even at the thought of it.

Padmini is - in ways both overt and subtle - extremely different from Radha.😛

Radha is supposedly the progressive woman who remarried, but with the excuse of needing a father-figure for her son rather than admitting that her need for a sweet-tongued support who would foster her every fond delusion far outweighed her son's needs.😡

Padmini, on the other hand, is ultra-conservative. And yet, the choice that Radha made of favouring her husband over her son is the sort of choice Padmini made in reverse.😊

I second Manonids review. That's what I felt.

Today entertainment and screenplay wise, I rate the episode with an A.

For the first time, they made a progressive episode on a Friday rather than a filler episode.

Emotional content of the episode was focussed on understanding the ramifications of an event that had changed personal equations forever. People are broken, confused and rattled, ready to become the viper snakes which can bite you to death out of its own fear. Fear looms large...fear of every sort ,,,only making it more and more vicious...ready to lash out venom. Only few people remained to stay calm absorbing the fear and guilt and confusion.

Padmini - Malik - trust - broken

Confusion against Madhu - by Bittuji

Fear against Madhu - Radhaji (RADUNCE - The leaky tap) and Dips Bhatia

Spitting Venom

• Padmini against Shamsher
• Radhaji against Madhu
• Dips against Madhu and RK

Clearly Padmini has forgotten what Shamsher did for Padmini and her family in all that altruistic manner. She is leaving him, isolating him in his guilt when he needs family support. She is leaving him ...She couldn't live with his erratic judgment and actions.

Question to Padmini - Had you been married to Shamsher, would you have left your husband in that manner ? I doubt it Padmini ! I doubt it !

So selfish of you Padmini ...so damn selfish of you.

Radhaji has forgotten that she once trusted her son's life in Madhu's hands and Madhu did keep all her promises to her. And yet Radhaji has no gratitude now.

Dips Bhatia is so threatened for her life that she has become the rattled snake. She can just bite..A snake has never been attributed with any intelligence. It can gobble up its own eggs if hungry. Nature made it bad that way. I don't know why. May be for all others to see it an epitome of fear, confusion. A coiled snake capable of putting its tail in its mouth...

Good scenes

Padmini comprehending what Madhu must be facing in her Sasuraal. Her allusion to Durga Pooja ...nicely done. Ignominy of the Madhu the Wife nicely represented through this story.

RK explaining what Madhu is and also warning on what is permitted by him to think about his wife. Did Bittuji need that explanation ? No. But the scene was needed for the "khulasa" to viewers on what we must think of Madhu as she had been reticent and been indulging in all kind of dubious actions...the reason me was so upset and commented on her actions like that. So RK was basically pacifying viewers about Madhu's actions.

Best scene of the Day

• RK showing Radhaji her place...that she is long dead for him.
• RK showing everyone that Madhu is now not only his wife, she is his nuturer as well, when he compared her to his loving mother of the past, that are now just his memories. He may have started all of it as an act...but somewhere down he too gets emotional about it ...soon to shoo it away by asking his wife to feed him.
