First of all I couldn't understand the lyrics one bit when I watched it the first time around...and yet all of it simply sort of fell into place...it just felt right somehow, the music and the bits you have used alongwith it... the song itself has such a soothing and magical quality to it just like their whole confession-marriage journey had been soo soo dreamy and the soothing effect that it provided via its narrative... it just filled my heart with so much happiness, matlab my heart is melting right now ...and like you said it's been over two weeks since these episodes aired and uske baad we have had tons of PJ-ND waale vibey moments, and YET the magic of Abhi-Meera remains the same...I couldn't find a single trace of PJ or ND there either individually or together, it was ALL Abhi-Meera...that's the power of good acting and narration 🤗 I miss them more than ever now, but still have this blissful feeling... you know what I mean?
When I went and checked the meaning of the lyrics and then watched it the second, third and the many several times later on 😆...I fell in love with it more and more... exponentially!
Ofcourse nee ennai neengadhey is timeless for Abhi-Meera... but what is the most touching is also ni podhaal kavidhai anaadhika and these two lines just define them and their love for each other so it doesn't really matter what scene you used coz they always seem to fit... ofcourse the feather scene and the lyrics there, but even those made sense to me when I read it, especially the last three lines (if they are authentic translation), coz it concludes with how he feels her love always ...and that is what happened...he (the dream Abhi) felt her yearning for him and helped her realize... (haha, might seem far-fetched, but cannot help it with my scientist mindset...I have an obssesive compulsive need to try and make sense of things in front of me 😆).
Two things will always and forever touch me and stand apart for me from this show:
first is the way Meera goes down on her knee and declares her unconditional love for him, because if anyone deserves to hear it in so many different words and in this way then its Abhi...and it always takes me back to Babli's hope that someday someone will come who will take care of Abhi and love him unconditionally...and Meera is a woman of actions not just shallow words, when she says it she means it every single time and the fact that she just showers her love on him like that is just so touching to watch. We always talk about Abhi's love for Meera but from that point onwards we can be sure hers is at par with his. What REALLY stands out in both these realizations is that neither of them were ever so astonished about why they love the other person- it was more of a silent acknowledgment and then happiness followed, without any other emotion.. this makes it so much more realistic (and less TRP-ish 😆...also not something your fangirls would like to see).
And second one is ofcourse the whole wedding, the way it was depicted- so much joy and happiness on Abhi-Meera's faces despite the animosity betn their families the unpleasantaries exchanged a while ago and yet, both, for the first time fully follow Meera's principle in life: pehle khud ko khush kar lo, phir tum baki logon ko khush rakh paoge... and that's what they did- with suh confidence and happiness that they were ready to convince and face anybody and everybody... every single ritual had an underlying happiness and like you said normally they waste a LOT of time on the other taam-jhaam but here they focussed on the emotions...uff, I can go on and on, but I have already discussed the wedding and what I liked about it in depth in ur thread so maybe I should stop here 🤣..
Would like to end this essay by saying that if the confession and wedding touched my heart...this VM made sure that they are etched permanently in my heart...I found myself crying many times during it (umm coz some parts I could personally relate to 😛), so thank you for making this for us 🤗
