What did I Miss? - Page 3

I believe it's a common practice in narration used to keep the interest of an audience, usually surprising them with a revelation of some hints here and there. There has been few hints dropped about his fan syndrome and stardom. How he keeps reminding her that she is not his fan. How his ego gets hurts when the small town villagers don't recognize him. This may just be the staging for her to become a big artist, for her to finally taste what stardom feels like. It is really worth all that he is doing...

You didn't miss anything An. In retrospect we may now think oh RK did this or behaved like this and that was an indication but frankly we are just trying to find a justification. Its going to be very very difficult for the writers to justify what they've shown in the last 3-4 months. I have a feeling we will not be satisfied with the explanation either which is sad because I really admire how meticulous and precise the writers have been thus far...

As a reader or viewer, I hate to be taken for granted. It's one thing to fool a character in a story and an entirely different thing to take a reader for a ride.

You are absolutely on the dot. Some hints, even red herrings are okay...are usually thrown in and a careful reader usually picks up on them. But here, nada!

Except for RK's incomprehensible love declaration or a certain unfathomable (to me, at least) and fleeting look in his eyes when he returns to Madhu after the MU when she first refuses to go away with him and, of course, his reluctance to say "I Love You", back to Madhu (and, some posts here saying he was doing it for revenge), I didn't see that coming.

It's either extremely poor writing/imagination or an extremely clever and devious one.

We'll see which one it is in a few days.

Maybe because she does not appreciate or recognize his profession.

Btw, did you notice that when he first entered the village his ego was hurt that some of the villagers did not recognize him, and he didn't easily fit into the rural environment. Is it because he never intend to leave his acting career and stardom? It seems like a game to him...
