The disbelief in Gulaal's eyes at witnessing the sight around her..wonderful expressions by MP..LOVEE the piano notes in the background. She closes her eyes and soaking it all in, runs her hand through the leaves, and she can see herself playing with her friends, it seems like a different world altogether, one where there were no restrictions and boundaries to be confined within. Loved the choice of song here, very very apt the small little desires she harbored while growing up. In a sense I think that moment magnifies what a lot of us experience ourselves sometimes...that yearning to go back to when life was simple and there were no responsibilities...when you are FREE to just run around and play all day...childhood...and in Gulaal's case ofcourse it's so much more tragic given how much tragedy she faced so early on in life and had these simple pleasures snatched away from her...in some ways by her own doing.
And then she snaps out of her reverie, I like how persistent Talli is here, she shoots down all attempts by Gulaal to go back. LOL yeah I liked that too...Gulaal made many attempts to snap out of these moments and go back to caging herself but Talli didn't let her.
The entire scene with Gulaal running after Talli and Kesar's eyes following her is simply beautiful poetry in motion. He cannot comprehend at this point in time the way she affects his soul, he just goes with the flow. WORD! Beautifully put, Maz👏👏 It is poetry in motion indeed!
He has always found it hard to hate on her, but it was still so much easier when he was away from her for many years, the close promixity has made it extra difficult and now compounded with this new set of feelings for him to deal with, he doesn't even know how to define them and it takes him by surprise each time. Exactly...and I love how these layers of complication are woven into the story...every phase, every turn of the story had a point...the fact that he was away from her for so many years also had a point...and now him being back, in close proximity with her as you said and trying oh so hard to hold on to his bitterness, hurt...just not able to...and then having all these new feelings adding on to all of that...no wonder the guy was going out of his mind for a while until he figured things out😆
I love when she falls down laughing..shes thoroughly enjoying herself...and then she spots Kesar, all this while she did seem to momentarily forget that Kesar was even around with them. I love the way she falls too...there is such genuine JOY in her in this bit that it just warms your heart...she is enchanting in a very unique way...and yes, Kesar was not on any of their minds cuz they presumed he'd stay in SADU mode and not come after them😆
I loved how he is so gentle with her in this whole scene, he doesn't want her to feel the pain, So contrasting to the emotional pain he has been belting out to her and himself all these days. Truly...such wonderful ironies they weave in time and again...
And then he gives a hand to help her get up, very symbolic of the how he will be by her side when she is in need of support, to pick her up, and stand by her always. Interesting parallels to this pre-leap scene where she takes both Vasant and Dushyant's hand after she falls from the bicycle. Back then Vasant was the man who would be her caretaker and protect her, after his death and after Dushyant got over his obsessive lover phase, he did stand up for her whenever possible, but now, there is Kesar for everything. Lovely point, Maz! The role of these three men in her life has enough material for endless discussion sometimes it seems...lol...Vasant was her hero...her caretaker, the one she looked up to for everything...Dushyant did a lot for her mainly out of repentance too...that guilt that forever stayed with him...while Kesar is the one who gave her the most trouble in his own unique way😆...and then healed all of that trouble and loved her more unconditionally than anything. He was her support at the most crucial of times...no matter what the ups and downs in their lives...he was WITH her...always.
P.S Kesar in shades..quite dashing..😆 I love how he stands there hands on hip and giving these expressions 'seriously girls?' and then walks towards them 😆 Nur if you are making avis from this sequence, would love one for this bit, if its no trouble! LOL ok will make one on this and post it soon too😆
