@Reemz: I mean just look at the difference in promos only naa...the GK story was never advertised long term...like with the new show or many other shows, they show romantic shots of the pair and their after married life or whatever to pull in the phangurls even before the story actually starts.

But Gulaal let the story unfold piece by piece...it's not meant for ppl easily satisfied with typical cliched lame romantic scenes.

GK got such EPIC build-up...a kind I've never seen before and I seriously doubt any show will be able to match up to that anytime soon.



You said it ! "Epic build up" is the term ...such was it that now when I watch even the earlier episodes and see Kesar-Gulaal , I can link it up so clearly to their relationship to come , the traces were always there so beautifully ! OMG I cant stop loving this show and loving GK Buit while I am crazy about GK , the fact of the matter is that every other character stayed true till the end and every member of the cast were good actors ...

Its kind of strange how the production house never felt the need to extensively promote this forbidden kind of love story even though the trps weren't up to the standards required by the channel. They simply let their work do the talking :) Like how it should be!



Exactly...this is how it SHOULD be...but sadly most shows don't seem to realize that.

Waise maybe they didn't promote the GK story to keep ppl guessing so that even till the very last epi of the show, we have ppl coming up with the "logic" that the show went "off track" by showing Gulaal falling for Kesar whom she otherwise considered a "son"😆😆 and the "real ending" should have been Gulaal going off to heaven with ghost Vasant.🤔

VJ, I have been an Indian serial junkie for most of my life. I've seen all kinds of shows but now I've come to a point where after watching something Gulaal, it's very difficult to go back to a 'normal' show which is of the same quality as any other on television. It's not that there aren't any good dramas out there but they will still seem like a downgrade for me now.



You are so right ...so difficult to go back to the "normal" shows ...
Sometimes I think if we as viewers are so smitten by the show and cant settle for anything less , how difficult it must be for people like Neil and Mansi to settle for simpler mundane roles... I wonder if they"ll have much choice ...and if they do, I'll be happiest ..

Thats the point , while Gulaal always cared for "baby Kesar' and took care of him , they were always friends and never anything like mother and son , and that comes thru when we watch the earlier episodes even now ... My God , did someone actually give that "logic" which you mentioned ? 😲 Good I didnt read it ..

Ok will do :-) I think there's some HQ vids up of those epis on YT so I'll be able to do caps for sure :-)

Are you going to start with the first GK scene or Kesar's entry scene? I'd vote for the first GK scene post leap...absolutely LOVE the undercurrents in that one!

I was thinking the GK scene!!The chemistry was so instant and I loved how it changed within a few minutes from the Gulaal who was caressing Kesar to the eye lock they had during the coin toss. SO many layers right there and then...so many!

Exactly! Hats off to Neil-Manasi that they created that charged dynamic in their very first scene together...Manasi still had Gulaal's feelings for Kesar carrying over to reference...but this was the first time that Neil as Kesar is in front of Gulaal and what a scene we got! Instant chemistry indeed...there is such a charged air to the scene and yes those wonderful layers that make GK so special...so many of those in a mere 5 minute scene...every look they exchange is a conversation like you say many times, Reemz.

Ahhh I'm excited about doing caps for this scene now😆

We could go on and on about it here but then we'll run out of things to say in the actual thread.
I'm really excited for the caps too 😃 In a way I'm glad you 2 joined later so at least now we can re-visit those scenes in a fresh manner :P

LOL ok will save the detailed blabbing for the actual thread then.

It's funny how Jzee and me ended up moving to Gulaal right around the same time...we met on the Navya forum though...what irony😆...but that show is now lame beyond words.

I remember lurking in Srushti's threads for a few days before actually posting...haha

Anyways yes, it will be interesting to revisit those two months when I wasn't here at the forum...My obsession began in June.
