Compared to Gurmeet., Drashti was a little pheeka yesterday (No offence to any Drashyti fans)...ok Pls don't throw chappals at me...But that's what I felt....here is why....We all know that both the leads are actors of great caliber and this small small things when a miss looks odd....as a true Maaneet fan I can chose to ignore this also....but I feel I can share it with all of you.....My apologies if I end up hurting anybody....
everyone is entitled to an opinion .. why you saying sorry.. and why would anyone get offended by somethng, you would say.. you always say the right things ...
First the positive part of the scene I chose to criticize....Geet falling was well thought scene and it was done beautifully followed by Maan noticing her in the mirror that she was no longer following gave the whole scene a realistic look.......even the faint was realistic her body slowly giving away and she loosing it was very well done....but the moment Maan reaches her to hold her from falling the scene from Geet's part looked flawed and this is because she has lost complete conscious her body has totally given away...her senses have stopped working but the moment Maan lifts her, her head should have been dangling but it looked steady as though she was still aware of what's happening....In my PORV it would have had a visual impact if her head was dangling loose....her hands were bounded the moment Maan lifted her so that was fine ....
Another thing was the fact that Geet was unconscious and when a person is unconscious he/she won't have the sense and strength to put his/her arms around the neck Of the person carrying him/her....Yet she clung on to Maan as though she was in deep sleep......Remember the HP night when they reached Delhi Maan had to carry her in this arms....That time she was in sleep and she encircled her hands around him....its understandable coz she was in sleep...and in sleep we are a little aware of our surroundings but common yaar behosyhi mein you won't even have the strength then how come ???I thought that was something the director should have made sure off or at least Drashti herself could have improvised it......
i didnt like the transition from the dev-eera scene to the Maaneet scene either where she starts following him.. it was a little too abrupt.. the take off could have been smoother.. may be from the point where she follows him down, calls him out, he doesnt hear, she comes running-i hate scenes with bad take offs...
Another thing was her Mumbling in her state....yes when you are unconscious some people tend to mumble and its normal....but for me they scene looked totally fake.....Geet has so much to tell Maan....its reached the brim of her heart and she cant take it any more she has to tell him and that's what came in the form of her mumbling but Drashti could have done a better Job....for me it looked as if she was sleep talking rather than her mumbling in her state of consciousness.....
as much as i was excited she was saying the truth... at places i had this feeling, had she not been the heroine and had been the vamp .. she would have chosen the same way to get back his sympathy... they could have shown her feelings weak while talking to him... but him not noticing it at first... him asking her ... she saying she is okay and that she can take care of herself, and him walking away, turning around to look if she was okay and her fainting!! scenes where screenplay takes over dialogues the director generally has huge amounts of work to do... this one looked thoda sa hurried ...
Precap ke baare mein don't talk....I have never seen such an awesome Precap in my entire life.....i couldn't just stop laughing....Dev hits the door and Maan goes to open it....and Geet is looking at Maan do this....but the moment Dev is shown in front of Maan (face 2 face) Geet is sleeping....and also another interesting thing was Maan comes to change Geet's cloths but she is in the same dress....Patha nahi what the whole Precap was about.....
