Loved this one. Perfect choice of scenes for the lyrics and I liked it how you brought in dialogues and started the VM...it was as if Bholu is thinking abut his life and then the story starts... liked it for the scenes that you have chosen, Avinash's expressions in projecting silent pain and how you matched it with the lyrics of the song. That scene in Rawal is one of my favourite ones...they clearly showed how Dev realised that Radhika was chosen for Rohan...he realises it even before Shanti told him anything...as soon as she says that Chanda in not the bride realisatin dawns on him and Shanti's next sentences shatters his dreams...he does not tell anything but walks out in the daze and then at the end looks back longing for a look...
Thanks Misti. I was a little bit anxious about this one since there were two KKs here are your favorites (Kishore Kumar and Bholu). I found that scene of Bholu sitting desolately and thinking when I was trying to get a scene for Koi humdum na raha. I liked it a lot and couldn't use it there. So then when I started making this one, suddenly this one had a place for it. I am so happy that you got the interpretation I was trying to make here. Sometimes it is in your head and it doesn't get translated properly. That Rawal scene is one of my favorite too and he does realize that his dreams are getting shattered even before Shanti speaks up. Also in those months, even though Dev did not have enough monologues to satisfy me (after the fake marriage), still the emphasis was on this relationship between Dev and Radhika. So they did use to let camera linger on Dev much longer.
Later on Dev became such a side character that it was a rare occurrence where his emotions were highlighted. There was one scene I wanted to use because there too Dev had very great expressions. This is after Radhika disappeared...Dev asked Padma and others to leave him alone for some time and went to the garden where he sat brooding. Well, it was less few seconds when Padma was shown going there. Then she was in every frame (more than Dev) and it became her scene as that time, writers were forcing her as Yasoda maiya down viewers' throat. So will never be able to use that scene as I don't mind Rohan, Shanti or other Mansa family as a part of a story. But Padma/Dai acting as Dev's mother irritates the heck out of me.
Edit: Misti, I was finally able to use this scene for my next VM as was able to edit Padma and Barkha out of the scene.
Also I am glad to know that you have finally understood why you were asked to make VMs on sad songs...😃
Yeah, I have. 😆 But...many times I am forced to watch episodes which I had skipped at the time they were shown and where all I want to do is smack Dev. This time it was ok because I got to use scenes from RB track. So I was once again cheering for RB when he forcefully showed Dev some harsh truth. So my sympathy for Bholu in this track was very limited even though he was mostly right on issues.
