What a contrasting effect of this so called emotion love one got to see in today's episode...
One the one hand, this undefinable warmth that appears to have enveloped his heart, seems to have brought out the humane side of hard core gangster Sultan...Love seems to have had a positive effect on him...This so called emotion seemed to have brought out the better side of him...
On the other with RK this emotion has gone on to become an obsession for him...Let me just quote this lines by Jack Llawayllynn that aptly defines RK's so called obsession for Madhu : "I desire to be with you. I miss you. I feel lonely when I can't see you. I am obsessed with you, fascinated by you, infatuated with you. I hunger for your taste, your smell, the feel of your soul touching mine."
Another contrast between these two men is that one who in the eyes of the world is a hero, comes across nothing but a self-centered, immature, spoilt brat...RK for whom his own gratification seems to be the uppermost...He wants to turn back the clock, he wants Madhu back in his life to ease his restlessness, assuage his pain...nowhere have I got a glimpse or sensed any sort of realization or remorse in him... Nowhere is there any indication or any sign of endeavor from to instill the trust back in Madhu and allay all the pain that he has given her...Whereas Sultan has begun to see her differently...he has developed respect for her and also a soft corner for her...There seemed to be a subtle understanding that he had begun to share with Madhu...
In Sultan, Madhu seems to have a friend whereas in RK she has found an obsessed lover who instead of easing her pain ends up aggravating it...
Today's episode comprised of the events that brought out this stark contrast between these two men in Madhu's life...An engrossing and interesting episode it was with a doubt in my mind...which I am sure will be answered in tomorrow's episode...which is how come Madhu's cell come to be in RK's possession...Otherwise, the episode has definitely left me all agog about the upcoming events...
Highlights of today's episode were of course the execution, dialogues and performances, which have become the stable features of Madhubala...
Wrapping today's session with a retro highlighting RK's possessiveness over Madhu :
