Episode 178 Discussion: 25th Jan 2013

Welcome to the Episode discussion thread which we call as Viewer's and Reader's Respite. That's very apt, don't you think ? 😉. And that proves our objective.

Objective behind the thread is

It helps in keeping the forum clean without much litter. People just need to fall in a habit.
We can have it like breathers at first followed by analysis.
It also helps like-minded souls and pals bond and gel together to drop in their thoughts for themselves as breathers and for their friends as a peep into the episode and for others to post their reviews.
And those from different time-zones, who do not get to watch the episode at this time of telecast (Indian 8:30 PM), without any worry to trace or keep track of all their buddy's posts, they can come here, read with leisure and later post their analysis after watching it from their Time zones.

For those who cannot watch can have the Live/Written Updates.

Today was paisa vasool bakwaas for me. There were gems in the dialogues but some jarring scenes that highlighted what always drives me crazy in Bollywood movies: the abandonment of logic!

I am very willing to suspend disbelief and play along with the bizarre pillars-set by the water, and the absence of any guests at the wedding. However, what got my goat was -

1. RK driving to the venue with a Bluetooth stuck in his ear FAILS TO CALL THE COPS! At least make an attempt to call 100 and mutter about no signal! It's not enough to say "Main aa raha hoon Madhu" - bring the firepower to shock and awe the enemy, man!

2. Madhu likewise keeps glaring at Ballu at the beginning of the epi WITH A BLACKBERRY IN HER HAND. Use your brains and call the cops the minute a drunk crazy barges into your parents' wedding!

3. RK's car is sorrounded by goons. He's sitting safely in a Honda. What does a person with any brains do? He uses his car as a weapon to maximum effect. No, our hero has to get down from the car, defenceless and face 8-10 goons armed with hockey sticks, chains and what not. Vah reh vah!

What I did like (this being my favourite serial, still!):

1. Madhu's spunk - she faced her crazy dad down and won the battle of the eyeballs. She was the only one there not terrified of him. Perhaps Shamsher was not either, but "haraamzaades" uttered when bound and held back are laughable.

2. Balraj - the man is in his element. He's gonna let the locks fly and have a ball till he's shot!! Raj Zutshi is totally enjoying himself and it shows.

3. Padmini played the Nirupa Roy part very well...the "bhagwaan key liye meri bacchi ko chhod do" was a classic piece of dialogue delivered with conviction...

4. The dialogues - were out of this world. There were too many gems to quote...I'm going to watch it again just for Ballu's lines.

Paisa vasool bakwas!

Pnars you said it for me. I don't have to say anything. 😃 But still writing leaving what you wrote...So mine is complimentary towards yours.

For the few jarring dialogues from Madhu to blend her RK Gunpowder into her confrontation with her Dad made me laugh. She was doing very well matching her Dad in craziness, madness and anger without her RK batterypower...so he was not needed for her to be keeping herself reminded that she has a firepower husband that she can boast. 😆

And likewise RK and his slow driving and placid sitting at the helm of the wheel, was also making me laugh. Yaar he is a superstar and superpower, but itna Super confidence 🤣

And what I liked. No more mystery or under the wraps. Balraj revealed to all that Trishna hid the fact from her family that he is her producer. Everyone feels cheated and Trishna feels a little remorseful. But people cannot do anything because it is not the time, it is now time to deal with Balraj. And actually that gives Madhu her added angst and craziness to confront Balraj. Yes, what is left ? She had heard only stories about this man. But now she sees LIVE FEAR in the eyes of her mother, sister and LATENT ANGER in the eyes of her foster father. All that she ever wondered about this man comes to surface.

Balraj, undoubtedly was at his best. The way he called Shamsher "Saand" and that my "Choudhrain" is your "Bhabhi" and which made Madhu defend her mother and father and said to him "Balraj Singh Choudhry, Tum mere Maa ke Pati Ab nahin"...something like that... was too good 👏 👏

I still don't understand though, why Madhu needed to tell Balraj about her husband being Rishabh Kundra. Except that it helped to connect RK to the Balraj Hungaama here and to let people/his family know what's going to happen to him. Contrived Dialogue and so Out of Place in that scene for Madhu character. How many times in real, actually the involved people forget their near and dear loved ones in the heat of the moment if missing on the scene. I know it for real and hence VERY JARRING Disconnected and badly seamed dialogue for me.

Dialogues were good, except when they wanted to create MEGASTAR image for Madhu and RK.

Otherwise all the other characters and actors were in form. The Bhatias especially as the MUTE spectators and caught in the middle drama was interesting to watch. They were so shocked that they did not even taunt at the Maliks/Choudhry's that they are caught unnecessarily. And of all the people, Dipali got the honours for getting tied under the Shaadi Mandap. 🤣

Because of jarring dialogues and occasional missing blend, I rate the episode as B + rated episode. Yes, I liked it and so cannot miss my PLUS. 😛 Watch it, to listen Madhu, saying I give two hoots for your Guruji's prophecy.

Analysis of Prophecy and Balraj track was done in yesterday's ED thread over Page 3, 4 and 5. Please read over there, if interested.

hats off to dd and raj both were awesome today.
finally we had the face off between father and daughter and i so wanted madhu not to be afraid of balraj and she was not but what i love the most that madhu was able to terrify balraj there was fear in his eyes like he was seeing his death today balraj was astonished and afraid of madhu. .like a coward when he got afraid and not able to face madhu he pulled padmani who was shivering behind madhu and slapped her.
among all dips was tied to madap 🤣and seems like she was enjoying the drama. sikki again hiding behind dips😆

Shri,

I missed the Trishna part - you're right, that was terrific! She's going to get it later, especially from Padmini.

What does "saand" mean exactly? It's probably something bad and derogatory...

Also, I thought DD looked better today than yesterday. She was just too garish and sweaty yesterday, she looked more put-together today. The blue lehnga she's wearing just doesn't do it for me - it's probably meant to complement RK's blue and white outfit...we'll see...

I can't fathom why they didn't do this scene in an indoor set. The RK-Madhu marriage set was fantastic with the crazily swaying lanterns...but I guess they want to employ the grenades and blasts and what not over the weekend and needed an outdoors set for it...

As Shri and Pnars have already addressed some of the clunks in the ep (thanks and kudos dears), I'm going to focus on Madhu today.

I've always said both Madhu and Trishna have inherited things from their father- today we saw Madhu as a true Chaudrahin- fearless, defiant, and unwilling to give into the man who terrified everyone else. The passion in her blood is her birth right from her father- her determination and faith are gifted to her by her mother.

I liked how both daughter and father referenced Devi Maiya, and for it highlights their similarities even more- one is determined to give back an unwanted "gift" and the other has full faith that it is not she who will die that day. Wonderful performances by both actors👏

I already posted this in the media discussion thread, but I'll ask again: RK, if you are not going to call the police (it's a serial, they are useless anyway😉), why didn't you bring your bodyguards? Are paparazzi that much worse than Balraj's thugs?😆

Baap ek numberi toh Beti das numberi !!!
Ballu Madhu faceoff was the theme of today's episode.

Madhu was all grace under pressure in front of Ballu. She has such an unflinching level of confidence ki as long as her family is with her, nothing will happen to either her or her mother. I think she has inherited that in your face attitude from Balraj except in Balraj's case it is misplaced.

By the way, why was Padmini standing cowering behind Madhu? I would have expected her to not care about her own life, shield Madhu, stand in front of her and face Balraj. Why did all her confidence evaporate when she came face to face with Ballu? She seemed totally paralyzed with fear.

Ballu puts Trishna in the hot seat by revealing to everyone that Trishna already knew about his identity. The shock that Madhu-Malik-Padmini displayed, the betrayal by Trishna should have come across a little better, I think.

RK probably forgot that woh anek gundon ko akela sirf parde par marta hai. In the total macho style he decides to deal with them without any backup. I think hearing Madhu's voice, probably uski akkal ghas charane gayi.

Precap – O more RK saiyyan, Lakh padu mein tore paiyyan
Jaldi se akar ab chudale Jalim Ballu ki faasin se mori najuk gardaniya
