Ok I am very excited to talk about this particular scene again because even though it is near enough impossible to pick a favourite GK scene, this moment was very *thud* worthy and it was the first time we got to see a different kind of intimacy between Kesar and Gulaal which was screaming UST!!

Unfortunately we did have to witness a useless Tom and Jerry chase and I remember thinking 'Really?? I do not understand why we have to watch this irritating Talli and why oh why does Kesar have to run after her??'...but we don't call the writing genius for no reason. Admist the childishness, out of nowhere we got the most unexpected moment between our favourite duo 😳

So apna Kesuda is running and he happens to grab a figure wrapped in a sari. He excitedly says 'Pakar liya! Bahut bol rahi thi na nahin pakar sakta' (well that is amusingly true in GK's case 😛). I absolutely loved how the camera showed Kesar's swing because you automatically get caught in the movement and genuinely get gob-smacked seeing Gulaal...more importantly Gulaal and Kesar like this. Something had changed between them, in fact a lot had changed now. The BG music really added to the standstill feel with that wift of air! It wasn't as if Gulaal was attracted to Kesar in that moment but it still remain charged from both sides because of their history, because of how Kesar acts with her now and because there is just too much chemistry to be ignored. So there's an eyelock with many unsaid words...! Kesar is simply in a trance, caught in this unexpected moment where Gulaal is in such close proximity. It was how a man looks at a woman whom has blown him away by just being herself. This was also the first time we saw the explicit use of Gulaal's defence mechanism i.e. her pallu. The pallu which symbolised the walls she had put around her individuality, her heart and her entire being. Kesar was seeing the 'woman' in Gulaal. She knew he was staring at her endlessly so Gulaal didn't dare lift her eyes again.

Talli's interruption with 'haar gaya' kind of seemed like a play on Kesar's feelings towards Gulaal. Even when he came out of his trance, he stood their hopelessly wondering 'Did that really just happen?? What was THAT he felt in those few seconds with Gulaal?'

Gulaal lecturing Kesar about his anger was an interesting parallel to what we saw later. At this point, Kesar wasn't going to listen to anything but that all changed later and how!! Despite being hurt at his behaviour, Gulaal still doesn't fail to show her concern towards Kesar when she says about anger hurting oneself more than others which was actually VERY true! Hurting Gulaal is all Kesar wanted but it ended up giving him more pain than ever.

Here's the video, all thanks to our wonderful Jzee 🤗

Thanks, Reemz! Will surely make some goodies on this scene soon :-)

*reserving for caps*

------------------

*Edit:

Caps batch 1:

Laat saahab baithe ganna leke :P "Mujhe koi farak nahin padta"😆

I liked this exterior shot of the whole set from a top angle...lovely set it is truly

Phir Kesar ko aaya gussa...Talli ki yeh himmat?😆

Blah blah running around ensues which I obviously didn't cap :P...although I have to mention that I loved the music they used and it was nicely shot too with the swirling colorful cloths😆

This must be the cosiest "hug" Kesar ever managed to give Gulaal, nahin?😆

And then time stood still :-)

The interesting things to note here are the way Kesar is literally holding his breath as if time did stand still for him and the way Gulaal can't quite manage to meet his eyes while he is just frozen staring at her in awe😆

And ta-daa she goes searching for the ghoonghat to put it back on and be able to hide behind it😆...while Kesar is following every movement of her hand like he's watching a Goddess in awe

Phankaaa! Kaan Pakading to be oh so late! I dozed off on my system and woke up a whole lot later today cause I must subconsciously have succumbed to knowing its work from home day - but here I am now, can't believe so late for a scene I was excited about from a day in advance, shaay!

@ WORD to bits in bold! The dialogues of this scene - even this scene - had so much undertone of pun. Kesar's pakad liya for the long time to remain evasive Gulaal (especially her papp ki bhavna 😆 ) and Talli's haar gaya as a verdict to Kesar's obvious defeat in holding up his cold fort. Not just this second, but in the long run. The one battle he loses, to win another - his trade off!

And like you said - it was the first time Gullu profusely brought that ghungat to defense! Its very interesting to me that kesar cannot blink away from the sight of her until she pulls at the pallu, which snaps him out - and then he cannot meet her gaze lol! He just looks away and mid air at nothing did she moves from in front of him, and even then he's rooted to the spot!

But what a like MOST about this scene (yeh I actually liked something more than that crasy stunning charged moment too!) was what Gulaal tells him after. She begins with -kuch kehna tha? Because there he is, standing in an undecided stillness of sought, like he doesn't know what to do next, or can't make up his mind. It's almost, almost, like she'd bait him to apologize for what's he done! You wish Gullu! 😆 But he snaps and says kuch nahi and begins to walk off, but Gulaal feels obliged to say kuch. And so she tells him he has done wrong. Kesar standing with his back to her, but showing all those fleeting range of expressions from being affected to battling out the effect to not giving in when he tells hermain tere saath nahin jana chahta tha - he's such a child here. He's made his point to no end, and yet, as if to justify the lapse he had moments ago, the trance he was caught in on her account , as if to undo that he restates the fact, and Gulaal surprises him more, by not 'sounding' disappointed, but flat and matter of factly when she says - jaanti hu. There's that flickering expression in Kesar's eyes that second, like he's disappointed she didn't show more reaction. The indifference - seemingly - I think gets him for a second. And then Gulaal proceeds with her 'correctional' further comment or so, which he tries to 'roll eyes' at, very much in vain, and then begins to walk away like he does from these caught in a spot situations - only to be surprised once more, when Gulaal tells him, how he's managing to hurt himself more, in hurting another. I like to think of this dialogue as a follow up from the window scene the night before, where Kesar was looking on at her, and moved away abruptly when she caught his eye. Like someone said, Kesar never manages to hate her really, and Gulaal never manages to actually believe he hates her! I think she takes her chance of hitting a blind arrow over that quick eye exchange across the window - where she's caught a suspicious glimpse of his guilt. Or even if she doesn't think it out that explicitly, she fathoms it like that. Its what makes her tell him to quit hurting himself to get to her!

Btw - I also like the contrast of how easily Kesar dismisses Talli's main tujhse baat nahin kar rahi hu (LOL) as opposed to no direct accusation or punishment from Gulaal. For Gulaal, just the eye contact is now a self punitive kind of exchange - he cannot really meet her eye without feeling the pang and hence, showing it too!

And finally, one more time to say, that the writers of this show really knew when to bring in an 'intimate' nuance between GK. This was perfect time and occasion! Kesar could not muster any more of his clean cold acts with the last night act so raw; nor could or would he 'apologize' formally. Gulaal has had her highest horse fall the night before, and is too weak to reproach him curtly, or accuse him of dashing hopes that she has half convinced herself she was not supposed to keep up! So she merely abides by having given MB her word to talk to Kesar and completes that obligation; adding a final word for his sake, despite and after how he's treated her.

Ditto to your views Reemz!👍🏼

Such a fangirly scene😍..hehe..but yeah the undertones were awesome..

Loved MP's expressions as he turns to face her!

True @ the sound of the wind..time stands still yea..and the music that plays almost like Kesar ke dil ki taar were bajaofying! I loved how his eyes follow her movements throughout as she puts on her ghoonghat.

@haar gaya..agree...he was lost for words, this was something out of the blue...this feeling like no other he has experienced. Gulaal's small smile at those words was so cute..

I think the last time we see him have a similar reaction to her was the scene in your avi...but at that moment she was just conveying her message and leaving...while this time even she is caught in the moment and is distracted only when Talli laughs. From Gulaal's side its more of an awkward situation, after last night, they face each other only now.

I like how she very casually asks him 'kuch kehna tha?'..and he gets all shifty saying nahin... reminds me of the GK scene which comes much later when he does the toin coss and says tu khule balon mein zyada achi lagti hai...right now he isn't able to process his thoughts to even come up with such a compliment. Of course her question was probably directed at the previous day's events, if he had anything to say about his actions.

Even when Gulaal mentions that he should not have visited Reva like that, his tone is not very aggressive..he is not pointing fingers at her..he is reeling from what just happened, but at the same time he tries to retain his anti-Gulaal stance.

@gussa dikhane ki jagah and samay...Gulaal feels that if he has to take out his anger on someone...she is ready to be the punching bag...anything is OK as long as his attitude doesn't put him down in front of the family.

Caps updated in post above:

Batch 2:

Time still standing still :P

Until Talli the great breaks the spell

Talli blabs some crap and then runs off...interesting thing is how Kesar hardly seems to react to anything being said to him...he's still staring off into space for significant moments as if still not able to recover from what just happened...

I found this bit interesting the way Gulaal sneaks in a quick glance at him before looking away again😆

I liked this bit after she passes him...he's still in that daze to a great extent and this bit had such brilliant emotion in his eyes...great job by NB

"Kuch kehna tha?"

Kesar snaps out of the daze and tries to regain his composure before mumbling out a "Nahin"

"Tujhe is tarah Reva se milne nahin jaana chahiye tha"...interesting that they both know that the hurt is really about him not having taken her.

And he has to say it out loud seedhe tareeke se too..."Main tere saath nahin jaana chahta tha"...the impudence is back

It pinches but Gulaal continues

And her words hit home as always

Reemz/Maz: Agree with your points on the 'haar gaya' thing...nice wordplay by the writers once again...I think it was the first high impact rush of feelings that Kesar felt...and the 'haar gaya' ofcourse is a foreshadowing on another level that he lost out to those feelings ultimately...they were beyond his control.

A major chunk of this scene is devoted to showing him reeling from the impact of the moment...he's stunned to the point of not being able to think, move for quite some time...and somewhere I'm reminded of him telling her during his confession that he's had these hundreds of questions in his mind since ages...and now he finally has the answers..."AB jaake samjha hoon"...this was one of those moments that just added onto his confused feelings...what just happened there, like you pointed out.

Maz: Regarding the 'khulle baalon mein" comment...even that was done on a very subconscious level...he didn't consciously think of complimenting her...it just happened to be...also cuz his "anti-Gulaal" stance was in mellow mode those days and his feelings for her were growing stronger by the day...so they were being expressed in spurts like that.

He tries so hard at the end of the scene to shun her again as much as he can manage given how his composure is rattled here but ultimately he isn't able to manage it as coldly...

Reemz: So agree with you about loving the way the camera followed Kesar swinging around the clothesline...the audience is totally pulled into the moment along with him and the way Gulaal is suddenly there in front of him...it's a magical moment the way it's been shot. And I love the music playing in this bit too...it's one of my fav. pieces of music from the show...soft but very melodious. LOL@ Kesar ke dil ke taar bajoing...haha...so true.
