I am going to be hit by what I see in today's episode. So yes, I am bracing myself.
True Zoya.
First Phase around, Madhu was the one who nagged RK with her Police Case and taking you to Justice.
We viewers were like Madhu...think what you are doing. Just stay away from that man. There is no match between both of you.
BAM !!! Drunken Wedding Happens and Rishbala is born.
THUD!! Unwedding drama happens and Revenge is completed.
Second Phase around, RK is nagging Madhu like a jerk, whom she is trying her best to jerk away. What is he nagging her for. That she has not become the speck in his canvas, that she is the drop in the ocean, that she is turning out to be NOT an ordinary existence even in her ordinary dress and ordinary job and now her moving on. He wanted her to be lost in the crowds of millions of ordinary people around him. But She is not lost, she is working right in front of him as that ordinary person. And he is so greatly affected by that resilience.
Jealousy no Jealousy, Possessive, not Possessive...all I see is Flat Consistency in Rishabh Kundra's character...A self-made man revelling in his Power. He needs to be alone to have Peace and he is himself unable to see that indeed he is now alone and he can enjoy his Power.
Alas, His Pain is that His Punishment did not turn out Grand as he wanted it to be. He was seeing a RESILIENT Madhu who countered him always when he openly tormented her, he changed his strategy to strike her in Cold-blood, with shattering her trust and breaking her heart, and Yet he sees her RESILIENCE who is still able to stand up in dignity even in her loss.
This irks him to no end. He has not even resolved it, when that dream played out in his mind to confuse him and the viewers alike. That is an aberration for him, so surreal at this point...That is not just a dream projected by his subconscious, it is also something shown by his Unconscious. And Unconscious never matches with one's Conscious as it is that eye, that truth which the Conscious has never registered. The only way for them(Unconscious and Conscious) to communicate and pass on the information to each other is through the Sub-Conscious and hence the dream.
In these current state of affairs, I just wish RK to go back to his Library and not his Bar, as he clearly creates problems for himself like that sleepover with Madhu or hugging Dips, and both are equally bizarre acts for his reputation and those two women's reputation. Its time RK needs to be again the kind of person he was in June and July...stay away from Madhu...until he understands what his Unconscious is trying to tell him. He needs to go into more dreams, meditate...so why not show him entering his library, his painting room or his sculpting room for once...
God!!! Have the makers totally forgotten that he takes his anger out through his creative pursuits as well ? Yes, I always wanted to see RK's drama, but I say I want RK's drama not because he nags or runs after Madhu...because he makes sense to me more when he is with himself and his hobbies. There he can sculpt Madhu with his blood and all...it makes sense...but this kind of idiotic behaviour...is almost him running naked on the streets.
For me his revenge drama is complete like last last time around. When Shamsher Malik was the collateral damage and Madhu slapped him, he sat and devised a drama and finished revenge about it.
Now the collateral damage in his second revenge is Rishbala. So why is he not sitting and planning something and salvage Rishbala (like Shamsher last time) and continue his waging battle with Madhu and her metaphorical slap to his revenge plan (her ability to stand up in dignity and move on). I mean will the man show his sense now at least when all his monkey acts are wasted finally?!!!...I just hope so.
In the end for viewers...Salvaging what is almost dying is important. If Shamsher had a revival plan, same applies to Rishbala in dramatic terms...These days I am just keeping that patience to see coherence in that dramatic structure. If this is not found, then pretty much, in the name of entertainment and good TRPs, the makers of the drama can easily keep aside structural drama and sell what is selling.
Yes Zoya...we still need to keep our fingers crossed...as we cannot be sure at this point, how much of the FLAT consistency is going to be maintained. IMO, flat portrayal of RK is fine, but they need to mix the FLATNESS with him as the Artist that he is...and this is for the Viewers who like him for his liking to Acting, Motorbikes, Sculpting, Painting, his library (which they never showed us as him picking one book to read...the only reading he does is his scripts)...then only the ROUNDED Consistency of his Character will come.
Alas !! I can just hope.
