with Gulaal, it acquires so much more content. There are all those variations to it, the subtle, the sarcastic, the hurt, the fiery, the sardonic... and of course, the cold mirth. So true...there is just too much in the way he looks at her...too many emotions to even begin to categorize I feel sometimes...I get lost in the process😆
With Dushyant, there was just one simple plain bad ass angry look LMAO so true...that's like openly badass...his CONTEMPT towards him is obvious in his eyes, his body language. -
In a very in-character streak of selfishness, Kesar's greatest issue was always going to be Gulaal betraying him. Her Kesar. Baaki sab paase hato! 😆 LMAO love the random punjabi phrase😆...sacchi so true in Kesar's case...saari duniya, saare paase hato as far as he is concerned...sir Gulaal naal matlab hai :P
Very, very Heathcliff in that. How complex but human is it, that his greatest selflessness is born from this deep rooted selfish streak?! His love is probably the most divine, yet most human all at once! Beautifully said, Jzee...and that's a major reason that makes this story so unique too...very very rarely do we see a love that is so human...it's very much larger than life, divine as you said...from another realm of epicness and yet it is so piercingly human...it's got all the shades of grey you can imagine too...
My point is - Vasant standing in judgment over all the phamily diraama reminds me of that dialog so very much! Its like he's watching it all with a smile, waiting for the 'sau paap' limit to be crossed before he can strike 😆 And he gets them one by one doesn't he?! Remember Dushyant's scene talking to Vasant's picture when he's beaten and thrown to the floor by MB?! Very very true! I also always got that sense as if he was this overarching figure standing in judgement over the entire family cuz he was always given some sort of prominence in the bg in literally every scene involving the family in the main hall and in Gulaal and Kesar's rooms as well...he is just always hovering in the bg...as if quietly watching this entire story, this entire journey, taking it all in...and yes, so true about how in a sense he watches over each "paap" or each truth coming to light...Dushyant revelation was a brilliant example.
In Gulaal's case I think it is a reverse case of 'sau sacrifice maaf hain' 🤣 sau ke baad saakshaat bhoot prakat to fix missy Galool 😆
Kesar being Kesuda ko sab maaf hai! 😆 LMAO@ these bits in bold...perfect🤣
And the pooja begins...patni ji taking her rightful spot albeit reluctantly :P
^^ Okay this once, I think her reluctance was less from being called on as wife - and more from A) hurting the FOOL and B) far more from not knowing what to expect standing in Kesar's firing line 😆 Waise na, its all karma coming back. Dude, this girl has been brat enough for a good two decades of her life. Someone had to give her all the attitude back - and obviously Vasant was never going to manage that feat 😆 WORD! It's SO Karma! She was like a MEGA BRAT for so long...and honestly Vasant could never really TAME the brat either...she didn't mellow much even after she married him...Vasant was too much of a saint for that😆...Gulaal needed someone to give her all that attitude back as you said...see how it feels to be on the receiving end😛😆...and Kesar was the only one who gave as good as he got if not more...ESPECIALLY in her case😆...Kesar toh phir Kesar hi hai as we always say...no one could set her on edge like he could...and for good reason...you never know what's coming in his case😆
OMG, this latter bit was spectacular! You're so right Nur - how far away from cliche is this! He's on live fire, but he doesn't jerk it, or show 'violence' - he sends across his message straight and hitting to Gulaal, the only one who needs to know what he's implying! Kesar is dangerously cold and calculative in that move! The anti-hero at his frigid best! Exactly...the fact that he did it so coldly and deliberately despite being a subtle movement is what makes it all the more ominous and powerful...definitely to Gulaal...there's the danger that she can sense in him but still can't quite figure out.
And oh wow at this shot! It's like Gulaal can read his mind for the foreboding ! She was actually even pulling off a smile a couple shots ago, but here she looks to Kesar, and this is when he's having the FB - I suppose she can tell the slightest tensing of his nerves under her next to feather touch over his arm... she actually gets her 'alarm' seconds before he pulls away from her! Fantastic nuances by the actors, and the editing team of course! 👏 Totally! The details are all there in the subtleties...
another lovely shot - they aren't staring at each other, this is the most fleeting of eye-conversation-pieces - but they have one here too! Yeah it wasn't a proper stare or look but you can sense the glance they shared subtly...subtle but still meaningful and full of conversation in the silences as always.
