Thank you Nags for your post.
Loved the promo which zapped me, loved your analytical symbolism which pruned my thoughts and can't love the Rahul Sher 'cause I can't understand poetic hindi...LOL.
I just remember that before Maan left the house, he licked the sweetness off Geets face to prove his Daadis words - an ageing superstitiion of reaping good work if one so sweetens the mouth - a reminder that any positive thought like a melting sweet can bring positive results...and Geets awkward declaration of another ageing superstition not to tread backward after stepping forward - and for Maan the end result either way is Geet and the harmony of their lives... Frankly the truth is "is there anything as horrible as starting on a trip of great value, once off, thats all right, but the last moments are earthquake and convulsion and the feeling that you are a snail being pulled off your rock; hence , told not to step back - once a step is put forward... Maan & Geet seem way above superstitions, rather moving harmoniously, taking in whatever comes their way as destiny..
With this, I would like to go back to an earlier symbolism you projected of disharmony and harmony within the new house versus the old usurped home...It would seem the only harmony or disharmony would be in Maan's mind which would react to several happenings that by order of events would dishearten him...and the only evident factor would be his mummyji... I remember u rightly pointed out the shadows and light that is garnered in one area, playing havoc symbolizing "all's not well" in the usurped home... For one anxious moment I would hv given into a fickle Dev, but to my joy he is as I always wanted - the changed man...reiterating his happiness at being forgiven by M&G...
Today again, with this promo, I allow ur symbolism to deeply touch my heart...with the begining and end being Geet for Maan...A jail that only superimposes the state of his mind...wanting to be free to run toward that harmony yet unable...good symbolism Nags... A very philosophical truth is that when mind dies, love becomes truth. Anything that dies is painful, anything that dissolves is painful, and as shown in the Promo, when the mind's activity is temporarily dissolved, its painful. And so we will see the rebellion within his mind, wanting to emphasize existence, to remember the cause of his existence (obv. Geet)...
This again reminds me that perhaps its with this calamity that Geet starts to work for Maan's sake...and there is no order of disharmony as to who wears the pants outside and who does it inside LOL.
Btw, after marriage, and during the time of their honeymoon in the resort Dev worked, there happened to be a lot of talk in IF on this theme track - Maan's amnesic bout, Dev's return to the Kingdom of Maan, Maan's bankruptcy ofcourse, Geet's return to work...wonder how these predictions took shape as from then...giving it new lease of life, new theme, new track story etc. Anyways,
Nags 3 cheers to your very nice symbolisms.
