**Neil Bhatt/Kesar Appreciation Thread** - Page 23

Kesar's disapproval of the family is evident when they broach the topic of expensive wedding and dowry. I loved the respect Kesar shows for Motaba by seeking apology to speak among elders. When Kesar gestures to them as elders, we could see he meant "SO CALLED ELDERS" because respectable elders don't speak like how they did. He clearly states that their Talli should not be sent to this family and Sudha feels proud of him when he says that "yeh log humare Talli ke kaabil hi nahi hain". For once, Motaba supports his son. Since then Kesar was stern yet silent because he knew his father would not allow this.

When they continued insulting Motaba, Kesar's anger aggravated and he was on the verge of reacting fiercely when Gulaal caught his hand. That one gesture from her calmed him down instantly. Kunal approval of Talli put Kesar and Gulaal in a fix and they glanced at each other for support.

It was a touching scene where they showed Kesar all worried if his mistake would cost Talli's life and happiness and Gulaal reassuring that they could handle her together. Kesar left when her friends came over. The friends spoke so much; it was an eye opener for Gulaal. If not immediately, it would surely get her thinking and it has already started. The best of those dialogues was when Dhani said that she is forsaking something valuable because she does not value it since it was available easily.

When Kesar comes in to capture and freeze their moment of togetherness, gulaal is already into her denial and is unable to meet his eye. The best thing was that Kesar could quickly sense that something was amiss and her discomfort as he zoomed in the camera lens. Still he attempts to bring in Champa to get her to smile. He has struggled to bring her few moments of happiness and obviously when he sees that she does not even smile, it would hurt him a lot. Kesar understood the reason for her discomfort when he hears from Dhani that he should visitthem with his wife even if it is several months later hoping for reconciliation from both. It was lovely to see Kesar shift is glance to Gulaal to see her reaction

Neil's best: 15/7/11

Kesar walks in with flowers and when confronted he shares it with all. I liked what he said that all colors are hidden in the shade of white. Was that for Gulaal that there are hidden shades of vibrancy underneath her pale exterior, paleness in terms of denying happiness and pleasures of life to oneself?

Probably Kesar genuinely brought the white flowers to cheer Gulaal but her hesitation to take it as if he has just given her a bunch of red roses saying "Be my valentine" is amusing. So what is wrong in picking some flowers from him, he has also distributed it to others. Poor guy has decided to give a share to Talli also now that he has given to JK and his Sudha Babhi too.

KESAR AND TALLI

The scene with Talli was surely exaggerated. It could have been done in a simple way too. Kesar is surprised at the happiness she is portraying.

Kesar : Yeh tu ne kya kiya?

Talli: Maine kya kiya? Maine to sirf Kunal se shaadi karne ke liye haan ki hai.

Now I would read her reply as " You said NO to our marriage and broke it too. I have only said Yes to this alliance. How grave is it than what you did?

Kesar is seriously worried about the family and Talli cuts it short saying 'Maine Sudha Ma se bhi bata diya ki saari zindagi mujhe Kunal ke saath hi bitani hai.

Now I was reminded of the scene where Kesar agrees to the marriage with Talli and when she asks he says "I don't live other's dreams, I have decided ki mujhe tujhse hi shaadi karni hai"

Kesar raises his concern over the family and that she won't be happy in that house but she shuts him up saying how can he be sure that happiness would come by only if the family is good. When she says that situations exist when family is good but the source of our happiness (the husband) does not love the person back (his wife). Kesar is totally at a loss of words at her wisdom and also the authenticity of that overwhelming truth.

Talli: Shayad you are reminded what I told you about getting a better guy than you for a husband? Are you jealous?

Kesar's reaction to this was that of wonder whether Talli seriously meant it and found Kunal good enough or whether she genuinely expected him to feel jealous in this situation, whether she was trying to make him feel so. He was confused what was running on her mind. His ability to think through is clouded by the guilt he harbors for having wronged her that she is taking this decision to grab the first guy that comes her way so that she could move out of his and Gulaal's wife because Kesar knows that Talli feels Gulaal would love him back within the three months given.It is seen in the way he tries to smile back when she says she would be happy with Kunal and also adds that her happiness is seen on her face. At this point I think Kesar knows why Talli is doing this so early before giving herself some more time and that is why he feels all the more burdened when she says she will surely be happy and hence finally gives his genuine feedback on Kunal as a person.

I appreciate that Talli asked if the flowers were for her rather than grabbing it. She has learnt the lesson in the hard way.

Kesar is puzzled when she stops and also when she stretches out her closed hands. He opens it to find the engagement ring. He is surprised that she can return it with a smile. He is again on a guilt trip when he is reminded of the engagement ceremony. Seeing him hurt, talli tries to tell him she has returned not for him to get so sad istead she does not want to get blamed later for running away with his gift. That relaxes him, he smiles and his tension is gone when he manages to say "Accha'.Toh yeh mahan iraada tha iske peeche" because he was genuinely worried.

When she brings back the issue asking him to return her ring, he is again confused as to why she is laying so much emphasis to this return ceremony. He was again reminded, he felt guilty all over again, when he was told the reason for the engagement ring on the ring finger, and he removes it contemplating on the "love factor" being associated with this. Sensing his unease, Talli points out that he gets disturbed over trivial matters. Here they make him feel guilty enormously and talli had given him a lecture a while ago saying she would never be able to forgive him for playing with her emotions and then she makes it a point to remind him at every given chance by behaving she is the sacrificial lamb and still trying to be a saint by sacrificing her love for his happiness and on the other hand the woman he loves cares less about his feelings and then Talli says he gets disturbed over small issues. After all he is human.

Kesar is seriously hurt when Talli says it was good that he removed the ring if not he would have fallen in love with her had he worn it a little longer. He is again confused at what she wants to convey because again he is wondering whether she still nurtures some hope over the possibility. I feel he was really not able to read her mind, more so with those heart-piercing split meaning dialogues coming from a smiling Talli about LOVE. Kesar is too nave for that.

When she calls him Dabloo, he stammers over the Kya,Kya kaha tu ne mujhe, out of that shock that the situation between them has reached such a level where she calls him Dabloo. It brings back that smile, he runs after her all the way until the kitchen (I strictly disapprove of this scene. This running around business had created enough havoc during KB days. I had unnecessarily convinced myself those days that such playfulness was not harmful).

KESAR AND GULAAL

Gulaal was startled out of her reverie when she heard Kesar and Talli but it never seemed to affect her at all. I am not expecting Gulaal's possessiveness here. Last time Kesar chased Talli on the terrace, he unknowingly went and hugged Gulaal. He is at ease when it comes to touch with regards to talli but Talli's feelings towards him are not platonic. I am wondering why she is not worried that Talli is still chasing Kesar, the guy with whom her wedding was called off and she is also a soon-to-be bride.

And Kesar just lets go everything else the minute he sees Gulaal overworking herself. He offers to help, obviously Gulaal denies and refuses to take his help. He squeezed the hand towels out of her hand forcibly and at one point she got too conscious of his hold that she let go off his hand. Loved how Kesar dismissed her refusal of his offer for help as "Har baat pe zidd". She taunts him saying she is used to doing things herself without support but he insists "Karti aayi hogi, but henceforth call me to help you with such tedious work(meaning which needs help and support). In every word and action, he is willing to be her support.

Kesar complains that Talli has become really naughty, did I see Gulaal's concealed smile over his comment. Cutely he tells Talli "Chhal jhooti". Again they brought in Talli's true love that she culd never swear on his Kesar's name for joke and it would be the truth if she did so. He senses that Gulaal is unusually quiet today when he says "Kyun Gulaal?" She brushes it aside and asks him to meet Motaba.

Waiting for the spectacular showdown.

Hello ! I was a silent & very regular reader of your posts in KB forum.

I started watching Gulaal a few weeks back, got interested in the story & decided to check out this forum .To my very pleasant surprise I find you here !!😊

(I strictly disapprove of this scene. This running around business had created enough havoc during KB days. I had unnecessarily convinced myself those days that such playfulness was not harmful). My thoughts exactly !!

29 June 2011

Today's episode was good in its own way. I should say it was one of the best. Neil's performance was better than the best.. I loved the scene of his with Talli and the mandir scene.. Neil as Kesar was remarkable here.

Kesar's scene with Talli was good. I loved his part... The way he grieved over his present situation while he confront...ed with her made me think... ohhh this Kesar would have gone to any extent to bring his Gulaal back home if she hadnt returned by now... so much love for Gulaal !!!! And moreover he cosidered himself responsible for Gulaal's leaving... Iam a bit confused with this Talli girl, I would love her if she becomes the real saviour.

Kesar poured out his emotions like anything in the mandir infront of Goddess... All that he hid in his heart just came out when he stood before the mandir. Oh how lonely he must have felt these days !! Its very normal for a human being to behave in such a way... when every other option fails you just go and cry and pour out your feelings to God... the same was done by Kesar too... He feels that there is no other way to prove his unfailing love to Gulaal and also feels defeated and atlast has surrendered himself to Goddess to seek Her help.. It was a superb scene.. Kesar's words were so touching when he said "Mar jaunga mein uske bina"... Infact every word would have pierced Gulaal's heart if at all she had listened to him at the mandir. The show is heading towards a nice Kes - Gul love story and Iam loving this.
