Wanted to make this post from the day I saw that clip Atif had posted from the Sindoor dan scene. As I had mentioned many times in my posts, more than the lead actors chemistry, it's the whole team effort that got me drawn & hooked to the show this long. And after watching the last 3 episodes back to be in track, I felt not to delay the appreciation post further.
First team to be appreciated are the Creatives and the dialogue writers. The poetic way of narration, the powerful/motivating dialogues of Aryan and above all, the way Sumbul was given those action/stunt scenes in the Mirchi Bazaar episodes are the reasons why I have utmost admiration for this team. The stunt scenes indeed were OTT and was not needed to prove any plot point. But, what makes this PH/team special is that, instead of giving such scenes to the male lead, the confidence they showed on Sumbul, especially when she is just 18 & is not a senior actress in this industry, needs to be really appreciated. And I believe, it is because of this one act that Sumbul could make it to the Ormax chart of the Most popular fiction characters on Hindi television for Feb 2022.
Next is the director/DOP team. The way the scenes are executed and the colours selected to represent each theme according to the plot shows the enormous effort this team puts in to give us some of the best cinematographic shots that are only seen in movies. The Sindoor dan scene was one such superb shot. A big round of š to the Atif and his team.
A big round of applause to the artwork dept too, especially for the recent Mandap and the settings that played out beautifully in the recent marriage functions.
Next comes the sound & music team. Whoever composed the BG score for ASR deserves a huge applause. That BG score itself has a great contribution to the hype the character Aryan got/is getting. And it is one of my favourites too, followed by the recent melancholic Arylie score.
Last but not the least, the leads Fahmaan and Sumbul. Due to my past experiences in stanning and shipping, I have promised myself not to fall for the ITV clichƩs of on-screen chemistry and offscreen contents. But, in the case of these two, I have to say that, it's not even the chemistry. There's an unsaid rhythm in every scene they perform. Whether it be a dance sequence or a comical scene or a fight scene or even an eye talk, the way Fahmaan and Sumbul perform their scenes is different from what I have watched before in ITV shows. Also, inspite of the fact that they are such confident actors, the way they always give the whole credit to the team is something that will take them a long way ahead. Hope we will get to see them as Arylie for a long time.
Not forgetting all the background crew members who too are working hard to deliver such beautiful episodes. Huge š to them too.
