And finally we've found something that Vasant is not as good at, as Kesar - getting angry 😆 Like you said Srush, Vasantji needs urgent lessons in gussa karing and pathar fekking from Kesuda - perhaps it is, as you say, the angst of a decade in Kesar which a live fire ... but really, let's not forget the pre-decade times. Like tearing up sheets and giving the MotaBha a piece of his mind saari duniya ke saamne 😆 Or like greeting dear good girl aka paani wali bai, aka nirjadi, aka Galool first time ever, by throwing a stone at her 😆 The ten years may have given his temper tantrums a more masculine touch - but really, Kesar's anger was always in need of some management ! Ali was fantastic, and Neil lived up to the legend of gussa! Vasant I suppose doesn't really have a heart that can truly burn like Kesar's... or for that matter Gulaal's.
True true! Remove that hurt and pent up anger of 10 years also, but Vasant can never match up with Kesar in throwing tantrums or display of pure anger or rage! Vasant doesnot have it in him!! He has too big a heart !! And you are right...Kesar always needed Anger management! AS Gulaal told him..showing him the mirror and he himself conceded after Dushyant's revelation...how his anger made her pay and let her sacrifice go down in drain!!!!
Again - like you pointed out, kudos to the CVs to bring out subtly but distinctly, realities like the dying cattle, the anguish of a poor family at this fatal loss - and the final touche in MB presenting the dead animal to the Police guy - that was a classic cut! I can never tell the kinds of cattle apart, but was this a cow that died? In that case, MB was not just bluntly insulting the cop for the obvious reason, but actually sort of making a dual hit in a religious sense too, right?! Cows are religious to deep Hindus after all. What could be an offering of fresh classic meat in the west, was going to be open sacrilege in Talsagra. Yes, kudos to the CVs indeed. They really bring out the reality of nuances to this entire desert land, orthodox people and village setting.
That was a buffalo! 😆 so I guess there was no religious offending sense ...The best was the punch line that MB gave 'This is what is most available in Talsagra these days, so here it is!! " generally we do give the guests what is the speciality of the particular region...and that is why the taunt...And why not...rishtey mein toh ye Kesar ke baap jo lagtey hai😆 Taunting mein toh expert hi honge!! I loved how he touched his mouchtache and said 'Dont worry if The drought could not make me move out from the village, your police toh defo cannot!' that is so particular about Kacchi men!! their mouchtache and pride...both of which Kesuda never had🤣
Well - as long as we ignore GV holding hands and openly flirting 😆
and he bindaas girls too!!😆The way that friend of Gulaal, Rupa, offered her leg for Payal pehanoing was sooo☺️
Kesu was adorable. Like, I just don't have new words every day to say it better for chotu K/Ali. The initial bit of him standing in the sidelines and crying in a desperate sort of way reminded me of so many future scenes of grown up Kesar with that EXACT expression - really, Neil picked up after Ali in such a seamless manner of flowing into the role, he could pass off for a real life grown up version of that kid - it puts me in awe every now and again! Something about that crying cap under the tree of chota Kesu, is quite quite like Kesar after the Panchayat meet in his bedroom, asking Gulaal to be friends... the similarity of expression is striking to me!
Yes...and he said he had watched some 10 epis of Ali before tking the role!! amazing that in those he summed up the entire character or should I thank CVs for choosing those 10 epis brilliantly.. Imean you dont even know who to thank for..it is such a brilliant piece of team work!!
And again - the way he cajoles the cow to eat the dry fodder... the way he expresses his fear in a frustrated tone, of losing their animals like the other people - no, he's not wailing about the fatal blow to their loss of 'nutrients' if the cattle dies. He's truly worried about the animals, he may not come across as the benevolent Vasant does in his love of these mute lives, but his attachment to them is just as much, if in a queer fashion! While Vasant can understand their unspoken words, Kesar shows his love for them by naming them after real people in his life - his ways to show 'lowe' have always been hatke 😆 even for animals 😆 A cutely touching scene. And his final call for Vasant Bha - oh that was such a wonderful touch to the scene! Kesar has always been a character to arrange his life to revolve around singular focal points. It was Vasant Bha at this stage - and things would just be about him, this way or that. For this chota Kesar, every string of his life here was a start and end at Vasant. Later it became Gulaal - and then never changed. His focus, as I said in an earlier post, is quite like a magnifying glass! I think his posessiveness with Gulaal increased because of Vasant not being there...and it multiplied a whole lot more with the grown up emotions he started having!!
Finally to GV scenes. Dude, when Gulaal laughed at Vasant second time, after he'd been so anguished in admonishing her - I was actually shocked! The decade later version of Gulaal would probably not even recognize this decade ago version of herself! The way she was concerned 'inside' for Vasant but managed to be so casual about it before her friends, and then her almost callous laughing at Vasant himself - wow! This girl loved herself a little too much, how did she ever reach a point when she wasn't even last on her own priority list? Life really changes people! Anyway, the final shot, when the payal actually rings was beautiful! Rahil and Mansi - excellent expressions in that scene 👏
True true1 That laught was the ultimate thing!! I mean one would have slapped her ..so brash and to some extent rude was she when she laughed...But Vasant is Vasant! he so tries to imbibe his dream in her!! And Voila!! Was he successful!! I mean he so imprinted it on her mindset that it remained there for the life of hers to come!!!!
And quick last mention to Dushyant - he wasn't just evil, but also a coward at one point?! 😲 Oh the grey shades of his character! Sushant Singh is a class by himself!
Dushy was Dushy! there was no vice he did not have...he drank, and was a drug addict too and he was a murderer and a molestor and a thief and what not!! And still we felt for him...Kudos to the actor for that!!!
