I did not properly understand what your topic is about

I was praying for DV to break and am glad it did...

Kesar and Gulaal should unite in love and not coz of DV...

the article was no where a surprise to me

the way they are winding up the story is really applaudable...

Okay I just saw this topic - but we sort of discussed this on the other post I made to, I'm going to copy paste from there - (while saying I ditto what Reemz, Nur and Nithya are saying)

Honestly, if they'd given us some BS fairytale romantic sequences - I would have been very very disappointed. And if 'strain' and intimacy was what we were looking for - we got all of it. From the chullah scene, to sharing food, to the hug, to the camera scene... GK as a couple, while officially platonic friends have made a mark - let's not forget, their bond is very different. We can get crushing hugs one minute, and strain at the lightest brushing of hands the other minute - and it all fits, because they are not just lovers. They go back such a long way, that their bond has far too many layers a usual couple can ever share. As Reemz says - all the flavors. Sure I thought we'd get a JA semblance at his soiled shirt - but what we got instead, the DCH semblance, was far far better - both Reemz and I agreed on that, and we've been singularly high on promoting JA cause for GK welfare 😆

I personally have loved the GK forwarding of track - minor complaints like Nur says, over the wastage of the song space (SPECIALLY given there was RS to eat into that song, grrr) the story overall has been not dragged and very justified. If any show could do it - Gulaal could. Minimal PBG has really helped - non GK scenes have been fairly reasonable (MINUS RS) ... so yes, overall, thumbs up from me.

I actually always find the GK sequences of 'love' such a breath of fresh air to what we get on every other show! Can you even imagine the kind of pull we feel to a simple scene of clicking away pictures, to any other show - like yesterday's GK? Can a hug translate to so many nuances and emotions and be only the second hug, but so natural and unhesitating and yet credibly so?! We get shows where coupled married for years and years romance and blush like teens - I'm sorry, its not cute but dumb to me, however dull that makes me! I think GK depict more shades of a love story, than any single couple in the history of fiction...

I'm in love of this show this week - they've bounced back from whatever mediocrity they lapsed to last week! The power with which a mere show of fiction stirs up all those emotions and reactions from us, how much more impressive does story telling and execution get?!

Every show is cute and lovable in the romantic phase (well, not every show, but y0u know what I mean) - but 99%v shows in their sad days are mere painful melodrama too impossible to endure, and people just can't wait to be done with it - Gulaal cuts itself an edge, like always. As I said in reply to Srush, my favorite GK scene of all times will remain the camera scene yesterday - and that is A LOT to say, because GK have a whole bunch of incredible adorable scenes to chose from!

I love the way they are taking care of closing all the loops one by one at a decent pace before winding the show up. There is not a single scene which is a waste - even the ones involving Kunal and Talli. Talli is a girl who has been in love with Kesar all her life and agreed to marry Kunal only to absorb Gulaal from guilt and make way for her union with Kesar. They needed to show that she accepts Kunal for the good man he is and not merely as a compromise. So the scenes showing his goodness was important. The breaking of the Deeyavattu was also important. Gulaal couldn't have done anything else. She could not let the family lose another son which they would if she continued with it. The scene where she asks Kesar what did the family think of her was important because it clearly showed why she made her choice. She knew they will never accept her and if she continued the Deeyarvattu, Kesar will not return to the family. If they had taken her back, maybe she could have given weightage to Kesar's love and her own increasing feelings for him but if their adamant refusal to accept her she was left with no choice. It was also important to show the suicide attempt of Kesar's uncle to underline the fact that the family was indeed breaking up after the truth came out. Without this scene the family could not have been made to see the enormous sacrifice that Gulaal made in keeping the secret inorder to keep the family together. This would pave the way for their forgiveness and acceptance of Gulaal but she will have to return to them as their bahu which is possible only if Kesar marries her. Gulaal will then be able to see where her future lies and we will get Kesar-Gulaal wedding, maybe as the grand finale.

This was a complex family drama with a beautiful love story interwoven. Those who wanted to see more of the romance would have been disappointed but then the story was not meant to be a light hearted romantic comedy. The makers have done complete justice to this unusual story and though I was a late entrant to the show I'm happy I got to witness such a beautiful story so well told and executed brilliantly by all those associated, both cast and crew.
