Heer dances Arnav cries, Khushi Qs? ASR replies

Hi All

So after a few minutes of the above...Khushi trips once again on stage (why always the trip...don't know😕)... in front of once again, cheaply shot and ridiculously assembled background crowd...who in no civilised society (forget high class, middle class, low class) makes those kinds of statements on contestants in a fancy dress competition...Indians are not that uncouth yet😳...and thankfully understand the context of a simple social event like a fancy dress competition.😃

Meanwhile, the assorted set of relatives of Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada...as usual give the assorted expressions each (save alone the ever reliable Mamaji😊)...displaying once again their lack of grasp of most serious scenes👎🏼...so you get the same old, confused reactions, or tears streaming down followed by insane smiles and laughter and a variety of scowls...

Meanwhile, in background you have a much older woman ...[who created such a fuss over the hemline of her grandsons Western world situated ex-girlfriendand an even bigger fuss over why her grandson shut up (very rightly so👏) a bunch of gossip mongers who ate his food and then spat on his new wife]...thinking its OK to send that same newly acquired daughter in law ...one again...in front of their friends and a list of uncouth society types.

Then, much against the wishes of yet another petulant, self-absorbed, lack of any "real priorities in life" relative...this time Nani...the grandson has to yet again save his wife from public shame and slight.😆😆

All of the above reminds me why I don't watch Hindi serials ...or at best watch them for a month or so...

And then Arnav Singh Raizada stepped on stage...

And reminded me why I watch IPPKND for more than a month😳😳 despite the lack of any continuity, contemporary characterisation or plain good love despite of circumstances theme this serial is increasingly falling prey to.

Heer speaks

Loved Sanaya Irani's projection of the various shades of Heer👏👏

Loved Khushi's on the spot thinking of appropriate dialogues👏👏

I had almost thought she was Khushi speaking...but no such luck😆😆...because Hail the great Creatives😆😆...despite sharing a loaded eye-lock with her husband.....Khushi immediately followed it with the perceived cute, sarcastic comment that aap ke zindagi ki sabse achhi ghadi aa jayegi...hum mar jayenge....No problem...continue the yo yo...there we go again😆😆😆

Arnav cries

All this while, Arnav Singh Raizada...watched intemittantly thinking why the hell he is on the stage😕 to getting genuinely drawn in the beautiful eyes of his wife😳...till the dialogue that she will die hits home..😳

This is not Heer dying...this is once again the familiar hollow feeling when he was crazily running behind an ambulance...Khushi may die!!...So then how can I live?😳

And Arnav re-emerges...stark, emotionally drained, defeated yet again...hopelessly in love...with the most direct dialogues (once again signature Arnav👏👏) and straight from the heart😳👏👏...what a brilliant transition from ASR to Arnav👏👏

Khushi ek baar aankhen khol kar mujhe dekho'..main tumhaare bina ji nahi sakta

Main tumhe chod kar chala gaya'apne mun ko behlaa raha tha

Jab jo kiya jo kiya koi matlab nahi

Kisi cheez ka koi matlab nahi

Agar tum nahi to main nahi

Main hamesha hamesha tumse

Yes ...yes I get it Arnav...have always got it ...and I stand by it.😳...there is love in this story and more often than not it is conveyed loud and clear in your actions and words😳...The essence of Is Pyaar ko kya naam doon.😳

Khushi questions

You care for him ...you know that Khushi😳 ...never mind the Creatives have not done a great job of showing it...He loves you...by now you should know that too...if all the past was not proof...you just said it yourself... that you don't need words...its in the eyes😳😳

Then why question him...coz you have the most expressive eyes in front of you each day...conveying exactly how much he loves

More proof..."farak padta hai"..."main manesha hamesha tumse"...So yes you were right that it was not Ranjha, but Arnav Singh Raizada speaking...

Then why the discomfort...why cant you tell him that you care too...

Today for once I felt its not just ASR who has an ego...you have an ego too😳...who speaks first...who confesses first...who bends down first...Does it really matter now...you who are supposed to be the more sensitive of the two😳

If he has a lot of explaining to do...so do you Khushi...make no mistake...so do you...does the name Shyam ring a bell?😳

ASR replies

Yahaan na sahi, shayad kahi aur ek duniya hogi, jahaan tum aur main milenge

Kisi jhoot ka kisi sach ka'.koi matlab nahi

Jab jo Bura kiya, uska koi matlab nahi

Jab jo Bura kaha, uska koi matlab nahi

Yes ASR...I still love you...but while I love you ...I love integrity more😳

These lines deserve claps...sound poetic...but only that😳...life is much above it...much more real

No one has seen if a heaven or hell exists after death...because we are dead😳...but heaven and hell exist here...we are responsible for it...each one of us...we create heaven or hell for our fellow humans😳

You know you have given hell...now wake up and stop both your lives from plunging into even more hell.😳

Notes and feedback

a) Casting director: thumbs down for clumsily assembled junior artistes

b) Direction: Almost a thumbs down for the earlier sequences and for a myopic representation of society and for taking frequent liberties with Khushi and ASR core character graph

c) Dialogue write: Thumbs up for each line Heer spoke...and ASR meant

d) Art Direction: Decide whether this is a high society dinner, or whatever...tables, tapestry, even Heer's jewellry ...tacky and not well assimilated

e) Sanaya Irani: Despite being saddled again with a yo yo character board...extremely well done in the scenes...especially when heer speaks of her marriage...Kitni meethi hai yeh mithai...kitni meethi hai yeh lines ki delivery...LOVELY👏👏👏

f) Barun Sobti.....there is no other way to say this...I didn't think you looked great in the sherwani...Am being honest😊...but you made up and how👏 in the acting and dialogue delivery...Hell where did you get that low pitched voice?...laden with emotion and tears...this is how its done fellow actors😳...no brow beating or hysterics...no screaming and shouting... it was the low, haunting cry of a man who has lost everything ...once again GRAVITAS👏👏👏...I felt bad not because Arnav cried...but because when will this serial and its makers really give the fictional name ASR its due....Agar tum nahi...to kuch bhi nahi...kuch bhi nahi😳

I dont have much to say abt the scenes...like u I was scared it was going to be tacky and it was...everything was, except for the saving grace Khushi & Arnav. They always manage to rise above it all...all markings of good actors.

Loved your post.
My feelings exactly

Hey I am back in your thread-😃 .. yes I found other acts apart from Heer ranjha a bit clumsy..the one they could have done without..👎🏼..wont waste my time on them..so back to scene I loved the most too.. Ranjha came in form when Heer died...that was arnav speaking his heart out.. and I so felt his emotion..specially when he says last lines...😭..I could sense his pain..and also felt his pain when in green room he lifted earring...he loves her so much..isnt this love a reason why we all are glued to the show.. Imagine under such Misunderstanding..if he could still love her like that..how strong is his love..he can not see her dying..even in act it seems..and yes khushi does understand his feeling to some extent..that lone tear from her eyes depicted that..and in green room also..she demanded his confession..when will this -first you then I continue..😆
