2012 : My Stance

Let's have some moments of peace and happiness before the BSC gatecrashes to give us more nail-biting and anxious moments...

A breather episode it was both for the audience and the onscreen characters before the onset of nerve-wrecking drama...

All with the exception of Trishna, reveling in the moment of joy and blissfully unaware of the reappearance on the devil named Balraj Choudhary in their lives...

So naturally we got to seem light-hearted moments wherein Madhu, Trishna and Roma want to make it special for Padmini and Mallik...Beginning with mehendi ceremony (me nonplussed. the wedding is on 23rd, then having a mehendi almost 10 days prior, really isn't it too early?????)...As for the sequence, nothing much to rave about except that it was a feel good sequence...

Madhu rushing off to meet RK on his beckoning, oh!!! how desperately she is missing her hubby...As for RK, "ishq ne ise niqamma kar diya, warna ye bhi aadmi tha kaam ka"...An ever witty and full of attitude suddenly seems to have developed a "cold feet" for doing a romantic scene with some other actress in front of his beloved "biwi"...So much so that he is left groping for words and stuttering to express himself...Madhu, realizing she being the reason behind his uneasiness and inhibitions was too good...Nice to see Vivian who has mastered the art of playing the full of attitude and so sure of himself RK, bringing in the swing in his behavior due to this new emotion called love that has engulfed him...Drashti, enacting her part with equal elan...I sure enjoyed watching this part...

this entire scenario of Madhu's arrival on the sets and RK noticing her brought to my mind this retro :

"tum aa gaye ho, noor aa gaya hai, nahi to chiragon se lau ja rahi thi..." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTCX_M-meHc)

Today am more keen on elaborating on the pre-cap-cum-promo :

Madhu overhearing RK that all this while he was testing her love for him...am happy with this turn of event as I feel it's now time for RK to prove his love for Madhu...As for an misunderstanding ensuing over this incident, na, I think that would be a feeble track altogether...It would be more interesting to see RK going all out to convince and woo Madhu about the sincerity of his feelings for her...This round it should be "test of love" for RK...

"Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible-it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could." (Barbara de Angelis)

Definitely, this can't be a reason enough to create a rift between Rishbala and inducing Madhu to join filmdom...the triggering incident or event has to be something drastic and vital to bring about this change of decision in Madhu....
