Sometimes I miss him so much, I just wanna appease my aching heart by not thinking of him or loving him! But can I ever even remotely try it? Never! Especially when, he loves us viewers beyond all norms!
He may not be active on social media but he never fails to consider our entertainment. Truly a man of actions and not just hollow talk! Through every act, he gifts us his best and something distinct. In spite of the writing getting decayed to "rasam rasam no rice, served with kheema of storyline" in IPK3, his love for us bloomed, giving us absolutely unique experiences.
What he does with every character he portrays! He reads the script, understands it and then goes and literally lives the character. His expressions bring out the innermost layers of the complexity of the character... This man does not need dialogues... he doesn't need huge screen footage... he is there hardly for few seconds... with maybe just half broken dialogue or just one word... and he makes us all his with the active absolute portrayal of every emotion... How can we not love him?
IPK1 had a hospital hug, Tanhaiyaan had a little different garden hug, IPK3 again had pub hug. The writing seems clich, but he ponders each moment and adorns it with the most beautiful unforgettable expression; bringing to life a very individualistic, a very original, a very specific emotion.
There were consummation scenes in all...IPK1, Tanhaiyaan, IPK3! A man who's not comfortable doing romance on screen, conquers over his personal inhibitions and makes the love story unique, by giving his total self, all of him... His looks, his expressions, his pauses, his moves... something indefinable, something unnameable in them... yet you fall in love with the idea of love... He makes you believe in fairytales!
There was a ferocious dammit burst out in IPK1, a fractious burst out in Tanhaiyaan and then intimidating dammit again in IPK3. His treatment of every scene is so brilliant depicting total conviction to the emotion. The crescendo of his dialogues is so unique like a singer pulling a soor (note) in a deep pitch or otherwise raising it to higher pitch...the raising of decibel such that you get goose bumps in one or heart chills in another!
We have all seen most clich, most ordinary, most predictable drunken acts in tellywood and bollywood. But watch Barun as Arnav in Holi scene... "Pagal hai par cute hai and then go and watch Hyder in truth scene... "Meri rooh mein jhank liya usne. He'll make you feel...make you experience all that I have been saying above.
He doesn't know dancing... he doesn't go and get dancing lessons to fit into entertainment norms neither does he allow this shortfall to become hurdle in scene delivery... he exactly picks the rhythm of music plus the rhythm of emotion at that point in time and moves sinuously hitting two birds in one stone... his co-stars get complete freedom of their talent display and we get precise experience of the character. I have hated watching actors and directors butchering a known character just because actor has dancing talent and director wants to encash on it. If ASR danced, we saw an exact ASR the way he would dance in our imaginations. That's his respect for us.
I am in love with his conviction. It's noticeable in so many things as I mentioned above and also in my earlier posts. It's his conviction with himself, his capabilities; that he dares to come without makeup on screen. Yet with expression alone he makes the scene appear so much more natural... You actually feel abashed watching his close ups of romancing scenes... it's like being present there, actually watching a real man and not an actor... An absolute live experience.
When he cares so much for us, gives us himself so completely... how can we not love this guy, how can we ever tire of singing his praises, how can we resist seeing him on screens, in FFs, in VMs, in GIFs ...unending list!
