He is flawed. He is rude. He is insensitive. He jabs the opponent with words. He kills with his fiery looks. Does he care? Oh, he cares two hoots!
He lives in his world. He needs no one. He has a wall of steel erected around him filled with alcohol to the brim. Nobody dare enter his cave of insanity. He keeps silence, vacuum, and void his company. He swims and drowns in his own power. He is super complacent with his antagonistic life style until when she arrives in his life. An uninvited protagonist to steer the wheel of his life. MADHUBALA!
She pierces his indomitable wall of hauteur. Destiny had planned for them to meet. When they meet there is high current flowing, sparks blinding the eyes, heat melting the stone, but then they stand face to face unfazed. The hatred for each other keeps them kicking.
He hates the women folks in his life. His mother, Mukund's mother, Madhubala, Padmini, ex-GF for reasons. He wants to tear them apart with every breath he takes and he wants to burn them alive with every word he utters. Really? To some extent it is true. But then I see some layers out there.
At the outset, yes. He is ruthless to them. But if we can see through his surface, we can see a different view.
Mother. He hates her for remarrying. He was shattered when his father passed away but then there was still some ray of light in his life in the form of his mother. He held onto it tightly. But then one day the shadow of a monster in the name of a step-father wiped out the light out of his life. He held Radha responsible for this darkness. How could she do this to him? How could she replace another man in his father's place? Did she not think that RK is significant enough in her life? How could she think that there was something missing in her life beyond his presence? The twelve year old's sense of security was worn to shreds. He put an end to one of the most beautiful relationships in his life. But did he want to totally wipe her out? No, although he dearly wants to do it, he obviously can't because all said and done, she is his mother. Deep down he stills loves her and does not bear to see the last of her. Hence he puts up with the bunch of clowns that she gifted him as a step family.
Mukund's mother. She is one of those cheesy characters that he has come across many times in his life and in the film world. All that matters to them is money and they would go to any extent to ruin someone's life to get some pittance in return. For these kind of women, no relationship weighs more than money but then they go stomping about values, rishtas, and culture more than the number of times they breathe. Huh, no surprises that he hates her to the core for ruining Madhubala, although she is his partner in crime. Despite his dislike, he played along to get his work done alright.
Padmini. Hey, wait a minute. How is she related to him and why is he angry with her? Of course he didn't care the hell about her until one day when he started digging into her past to destroy Madhubala. What the heck? The father of Madhubala has two dimensions. Biological and legal. He conceded. Padmini, so you are not very different my mother, are you? You woman all need a man at any given time. I hate you!
Trishna. How can she hurt her sister when she has laid her life at the feet of a beast just to save her father? She is selfish that Madhu spoilt her dreams and career. Did she have one in the first place? He could kill her for making Madhu cry her heart out the other day but then he didn't want to do anything of that sort yet. She is still a sister of his BIWI. he ought to give her that place, at least as of now. <RK thinks> But you are one of those opportunistic girls. Mind you! I will get you pay for her tears one day! None has the rights to make her cry. Bas ek hak hai mera!
Dips – the EX. Ouch.. this is an old pain in a new place. How was he so blind at that age to fall for a vamp? He thought she was his support system when his own mother back stabbed him. He surrendered himself totally to her. He needed something to cling on. Wanted to belong to something or someone. She was the one who felt right at that time. She was also struggling and thought both would race against the tide hand-in-hand and win. Alas what a mistake! She turned out to be the one who forcefully tried to drown him. The wound she caused burnt his heart entirely leaving it sore and numb. No place for love, sensitivity, or empathy anymore. He restrains himself from killing her for a few reasons. All said and done, she was with him at a time when he was struggling. Now she is a part of his so-called family which he is tolerating for the woman who gave birth to him. As long as they don't cross paths, he will let her be. <RK thinks> But baby, of late, you are messing up with me. Rub me on the wrong side and get away with it? No ways. Wait for the Surprise, Surprise!
Madhubala. Ahaan! What is it with this girl? Who is she? She fights the God for the worm Mukund? Has the audacity to put the great RK behind bars? <RK thinks> Oh… give me a break. You made a mistake honey and you will pay for it your entire life. Don't blame me darling. I did make you pay for it and left it at that. Thought I shouldn't be hard on you. There is something about you that ties my hands. Your beauty did sting me. Your arrogance did feed mine. Your fighting spirit entertained me. You touched me deep and hence you sort of belonged to me, so I left a stamp on you to show the world that you are another property of mine. But still I wanted you to move on and leave me in peace. After all you were like a puppy that was innocent, vulnerable, and longing for protection. It is my principle not to hurt pets. I did let you go. But darling you had it coming by leaving my cheeks flaming. What was the necessity? You didn't give me a choice but to own you and ruin you. The count down started. Attention world. She is mine. My WIFE. I can do anything to her. Her happiness, pain, insult, hurt, and everything about her starts with me and ends with me. No body dare try to go close to her. She is my junoon. Woh bus ek hak hai mera!
Madhubala is heating her man's heart of steel. Let's see how much she manages to melt and let it emote. Play on honey, we are with you!
