A heavily pregnant Padmini arrives in Mumbai,and ends on a film set and after much melodrama delivers a girl!īalraj tracks her down and decides to kill her and the daughters⁛ut they survive even while he believes them all to be dead and returns to his hometown,Motihari,relieved. She quietly helps Padmini to run away from the house as its a girl shes carrying He packs off his goons to bring his wife back (and believe it or not,the sturdy extras fail every time). In comes,a dai ma (Sushmita Mukherji in a brilliant cameo) to find out the gender of the child. His second wife,Padmini,is expecting and the family guruji has predicted that a girl child would only spell doom for her father. His first wife has died in mysterious circumstances after giving birth to a daughter. Balraj Choudhury,the father is an arrogant,weird man and a big fan of Madhubala (the actress),holding on to the last vestiges of his dwindling royalty.


So whos this Madhubala? She is a young girl born into a rich family. But then one look at it and we are glad,they didnt attempt to touch the legendary actress,because they are just not equipped to do it. Honestly,we expected a lot more from this misleading-titled show. Everything here is exaggerated,melodramatic and even embarrassingly funny at times. Cast: Raj Zutshi,Rakhi Vijan,Dhrasti Dhami,Vivian Dsenaįirst things first: Colors ambitiously titled Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon has got nothing to do with the legendary,enigmatic beautiful actress who the nation knows as Madhubala! Madhubala,the TV version,is at best a tribute to the seventies Bollywood.
