Ahhh yes the way Kesar walked up to Gulaal, wanting to touch her but stopping himself was just so beautiful. Their relationship is seriously unlike any other I've seen (cannot say that enough). Kesar has so much respect for Gulaal and the irony is that he wants her so much that he is willing to keep that physical distance between the two. She's got her her back to him but still the chemistry comes out so pristine. Totally agree...I like that word you used...pristine...very apt to describe their chemistry there...goes to show that they don't need cliched close scenes necessarily to bring out their chemistry.
I always get the feeling that Gulaal avoids looking right in to Kesar's eyes because she knows his feelings are really genuine and pure, no matter how much she tries to deny them. Gulaal has maintained an awkward body language after that pareshani scene, where she was drawn to him. She's been avoiding looking at him/into his eyes even more so since the confession...the directness and simplicity of the way he expresses himself unnerves her and obviously her guilt grows...she can't deal with it.
Everything is so subtle between them, they're two characters taken from a novel. I think it was PaanBa who said that GK's relationship is a 'paheli'. It is indeed a paheli...with no easy answers, no easy way to label them...that is why they are so fascinating...epic characters like from a classic novel...that's the feel they have.
Hats off to the creatives who have been able to come up with a bond like this.
