OK, the thing is... I liked both the songs. Wish Ghani baanwri had not been defiled with the two vamps. Chandni deserved the song all to herself.
O re piyaa... Have this nagging doubt. Chandni is on a mission to expose Sasha. How genuine is it when she wishes Advaiy all the sweetness in his next relationship? One minute she had plans to stop the wedding, the next minute she mourns Advaiy's wedding! The song started out so abruptly... If she had remembered how he said nothing has changed, and then the dance had started...
I know there is no point analysing the show at this juncture, but the timing of the song and the emotion wishing a lover moving on, was a little off. That concept was great, though.
The concept that finally got to me, but was lost in execution, is the name Advaiy. It implies the very nature of the man. Chandni tries to differentiate between Advaiy and her Dev. But he is A Dwaiy... There is no dwaya concept here.
Through the journey, many a times Advaiy projects a dual personality. He tries to suppress that Dev in him, Leela maasi alerts Sasha about the Dev, and Chandni tries to evoke Dev. But in truth, he is one and the same... Dev is his beginning, Advaiy is what he is... Both the characters are merged in him so beautifully, even as people tend to analyse him as two. I feel Nani is the only one who knows this... That Dev is Advaiy, that will never change.
When this show started out as Hindu social, with such a beautiful concept- I hope I am not just reading too much into a name, but Advaiy fits this character so perfectly - why did the makers fail in projecting this idea more profoundly? I agree it has been shown now and then, but somewhere it got lost in a lot of fancy dress!
This is why this show is not a failure, just that it didn't achieve its potential.
In other words, I can understand how phenomenal this must have looked on paper! š
@bold Soup, lemme talk about this first. Idk if you recollect but when the show had begun I had written extensively about this that Advay is unique, but in the context of the show it is, one or united or not different.
According to Hindu liturgy, the name has been taken up from the name of a Pandit, apparently the one who had deciphered something for his people. And that is why he was condoned with the title of Advay. That said, in the show and when the script was put out, Advay was not a means to an end but the end in himself. He was to end Dev, he was to end Chandni 's misery and he was to avenge the wrongs meted out to him and Chandni, But the theme of the show was very diametrically changed in the third week and that is where the story lost its essence.
Tbh, its not possible for a PH to begin or sell the show to the GEC without a script. But yes, the execution failing, the show turning around and the following after math have to be credited or de-creditd in this case to the PH.
The script writer and the screen play writer, both are equally responsible as is the direction and the execution. The acting was the only thing that kept the show afloat for the while it was on air.
Anyway, letting bygones be bygones. The scene O re piya was fine with me, but I wont say it struck a chord or even remotely stayed with me for the day. And that says a lot about how it was and what it was. But yes, ST was pretty fine there and Sobti was par excellence.
The prob is Chandni's sudden 'Nartaki' avatar ddint gel with the episode.
