Every now and then, an episode comes along that SATISFIES you.
Where the characters TALK, and say everything that needs to be said. And yesterday's was one of those.
Madhubala went and cornered Sultan. What do you want? She asked him, oh so articulately!
While she thought that everything he was doing was for the truth to come out, as long as it was about gaining justice for past ills, she could sympathise. But Sultan went over the edge there. With that phone call, it wasn't about justice for his mother and himself, it was about hurting someone else - RK.
He had not only plunged in the knife, he was twisting it. And in a manner that was not at all honorable, he was kicking RK when he was down. And he did this knowing he was hurting other people too - Radhaji, and someone he supposedly loves - Madhu.
And in defence, he said this was him, stooping to RK's level.
Now, I'm not going to argue that RK is always right, that he wouldn't harm a fly... he has proved to be a ruthless, determined and vicious opponent in the past but I would definitely say that Sultan has never understood RK.
RK is a curious mixture of the kameena and the honorable - he is capable of getting a man beaten to gain the advantage. He is also capable of forgiving that very man for attempting to murder him thrice simply because he understands. Sultan hasn't begun to plumb the complicated depths of RK. And of course, he is blinded by rage, envy, thwarted ego - a mixed up cauldron of seething emotions.
I really loved how Madhu tackled him yesterday. I having nothing against ambiguity and completely understood her near-silent confusion all these days. But there was clear evidence of Sultan's dark motives and she collared him right there.
The precap shocked me a bit. Spitting in his hand - such a crude act! and I would not have expected it of Madhu. On the other hand, more effective in getting her point across than a dozen slaps.
Sultan needs to understand - RK and Madhu belong together. Yes, to be fair, he met Madhu when she had been mercilessly dumped by RK. At a point when it seemed that she was a free agent. And yes, RK was at his worst behaviour in that phase. Sultan thought that he was just another abusive lover/husband who should be shown the door.
But RK wooed Madhu back and Madhu went back to RK. Sultan never understood why - because he never understood RK.
But I'm surprised he still nourishes hope that Madhu will go to him? 😲 Maybe it was one last try - may be he needed to say it out loud to her... but surely her response will shock him, and put that dream to rest once and for all?
Suddenly, it's all exciting.
