Misti,
I wanted to mention the song selection too in last 10-12 episodes. The original songs of CB2 are also quite good - similar to CB1. But the movie songs selected by them showed no originality. So we had that song from Guide picturized on Radhika during the Holi sequence. Now they did not relate it to any scene whatsoever. Then there was that "Dard ka Silsila" song that was used on Radhika during Pagpheras and then on Dev during that horrible SR episode. Now I like this song, but I relate it to CB1 rather than CB2.Since the new creatives joined, they have shown three movie songs on Dev and Radhika. They were beautiful songs that suited characters of Dev and Radhika.1. The first song was "Paigam laya" on Dev and Radhika during the rain. It was a beautiful song that suited the innocent beauty of Radhika and showed Dev dreaming of Radhika dancing for him in the rain. Both looked very beautiful together and it also linked it to the previous episode. The day before Dev had been depressed and feeling low. When Radhika reminded him that all her difficulties vanish when she is with KK, he replied that he too wants to dream but cannot as his dreams keep on getting destroyed. Then the next day he had gifted Radhika that blue dress that reminded him of good times (and also was his first gift to her). Then he was finally free of his obligations after seeing Rohan's brutal side and was able to escape with Radhika. So for the first time since his dreams were broken in Rawal, he started dreaming again of Radhika. So that was a great way to show emotions of Dev and his transition from a person feeling low (for last few months) to somebody who has started to dream again.2. The second song was Saawariya that was mostly picturized on Radhika. There they show Radhika falling even more deeply for Dev as she started seeing how genuinely good Dev was. So she is feeling fortunate to be loved by this deep, quiet person. So even though Dev was in that song too, the song was from her perspective. Again both looked very innocent and young.3. The last song was in the kitchen when Radhika was cooking and Dev was trying to help her. Both were shown to fall for each other and feeling good that they finally were together. So the song was from both of their perspective.So they linked the episodes with both falling deeply individually for one another and then becoming emotionally close where they have achieved a great comfort level. So the songs reflected the gradual growth in this relationship. The songs didn't stand out but looked part of episodes.I genuinely hope that new creatives are given chance by PH and channel to bring up the show. All the ingredients are in right measure. The show just needs right promotion and good attitude from the channel and PH.
Agree with you DJ,s always have good taste in music whether it was CB1 or CB2 , their own private songs are captivating with good lyrics , they always blended with story as if part of the story ..Paigam Laya ...was the song i first time heard ,but felt that it has A R Rehman,s touch . ...As you listen this song it grows on you ...Same was with Sanwaria , which looked as was picturised on Radhika with Dev ...For the music i will give credit to Creatives ...Just wanted to ask something , when Rohan shoots Dev and thinks he is dead ...When he told Radhika that Dev is dead then was dragging her , that time there was back ground music , was that track Greek , taken from Troy ?
