In all the years that i am seeing shows by Gul & Nissar ... today was the first time i was disgusted ... they have erred during Geet .. they have made bloopers & blunders in IPK ... but yesterday ... they made a complete hotch potch of the one aspect of film making that they excelled at ROMANCE ...
I couldnt believe this is the same team that did two most beautiful consummations scenes in Geet ... the same team that delivered the dream letter sequence of Geet ... I dint feel the love at all ... i for the first time watched the episode 2 - 3 times just so that i could be certain of the total screw up ...
I want to touch on what i dint like in the dream sequence ...:
1) Firstly this is Khushi Kumari Gupta's dream sequence ... on her first love ... it should have been OTT ... it should have been basic young girls imagination ... it should have been Filmy ( did u guys forget she loves Salman Khan she has his pics all over her room) ...
2) The song selection ... can't believe this is the song u guys selected ... one can understand this is force fed squence for TRPs ... TRPS will come not by just showing Barun Sobti ( he is good but not that good) u needed to add ... sizzle ... i mean how do u expect sizzle in this song ... A girl struggling to find her love & to prove her love ... suddenly her love confesses his feelings ... & this is what she will imagine ... ?
3) I can't believe i am gonna write this about Sanaya ... but babe u need to work on romantic scenes ... she was so awkward it was not funny ... there was absolutely no chemistry between the leads ... their (BS & SI) personal equation clearly shone through the sequence they were so not their characters... ( this after a stunning confession performance ... was so not acceptable)
4) Gul even in her dreams Khushi can't imagine her self well dressed ???? why can't u guys invest in good clothes for the poor girl ... please see the entire sequence whenever u have ample time in your hands ... she looks disfigured in all the side shots of hers ( which were galore) ... Haven't your director & DOP still after 260 odd episodes figured out Sanaya's good side ????
5) Can understand that Barun would've given you meagre time ... but is that the reason he looked like the kidnappers were making him romance Khushi in her dreams ... he looked fresher when he was under the kidnappers gun point than the dream romantic sequence ... he was trying so hard to be romantic ... that i wanted to get up & show him how to do it...
Look at the technical aspect ... is this what you call shot taking ... maybe its time you see all the past romantic secenes you have shot ... one can clearly make out when its Barun & when its is his body double ... SOS pls send Mr. Khan to some technical school ..
For the love of God can you please ask Mr Gandhi not to use filters in all the dam romantic scenes ... thats so pass ... we have full on consummation scenes now on TV ... you don't have to hide the faces of leads behind filters & ruin the look of the scene.
While i have no complaints on the story line or your screenplay ... one can't forgive such blunders ... we are all hanging in here by a single thread ... which with unacceptable bloopers like this can snap ... pls don't disappoint ...
This seems to be the precursor to the whole romantic track of Khushi Arnav ... one which your audiences have been waiting for patiently for 1 year ... pls understand the basic characters you have etched out before you go ahead ...
ASR / Arnav : he is arrogant ... thats his style ... his ego will shine through even when he is romancing ... dilute this & make him into a puppy lover & you have disaster quotient in your hands
Khushi: A highly immature OTT kinda girl .. who passionately follows her heart ... she is very childish ... you have time & again highlighted her immaturity .. ( the swami act, the juice in the shoe act)...her idea of romance will be very Karan Johar ... She likes Salman Khan ... so she wants a macho man in her life .. not a puppy running behind her (most pathetic part of the dream sequence)
Sorry if there was a lot of venom here ... but i have been firmly in your corner for a long time ... in my mind it was always that once the romantic track starts we will have our show back ... so in my mind there were huge expectations built ... which sadly crashed ...
