TGIF๐
The above heading is applicable to ASR, for you know why๐...and even me, as you will soon know why๐...After the ackson package dhamaka๐...I am in a mood for some dialoguebaazi of the original angry young man to hit Indian screens๐...Mr Amitabh Bachhan (salute Sir๐). So in that vein๐๐๐๐
And although my readers are largely few buddies, should this text below be read by visitors who may feel compelled to give me some ackson๐คฃ๐คฃ, let me explain for those who will take it literally...the critique is of the thread-bare, or almost totally absent logic or sense, sloppy execution and an absence of clear focused story board, and planning,..
Because frankly, I found the Friday episode irritable and in some places downright funny๐๐...when ideally it should have been poignant๐ณ...but thats a feedback to the Chaar Singham team๐๐...So lets begin๐
a) Pain is my destiny and I cannot avoid it (Movie Kala Patthar)
ASR, its sad that you are chosen for all kinds of mental and physical tortures, while Shyam gets away๐๐...and also... ๐คฃ๐คฃ...jaaney do...๐คฃ๐คฃ
So you got hit by the bouncers and goons. Sad to watch that really๐ญ, especially the precap where you are being tortured ๐ญ...
That said, unfortunately though darling we cannot expect your kidnappers to give you bouquets and teddy bears, can we๐คฃ๐. So free ka advice๐, do what you do best, that is 'negotiate' ๐ณ๐ณ. Whoever the goons urf champoo log ka boss is๐, you are the 'baap' of all bosses๐๐๐ผ. Hainaa.๐...So perhaps the alternate way out is to "talk" your way out.๐... And I am not joking, in most hostage situations, the one primary thing that has helped hostages/ rescuers is "talking to your capturer"๐ณ. Counter offer the motley pair of goons (yes thats what the bouncers look like๐๐)...Give them a "counter offer" or try to "buy them out"๐
b) Rishtey mein to hum tumhare baap lagte hain, naam hai Shahenshah (Movie: Shahenshah)
Hip Hip Hooray Mamiji โญ๏ธ๐๐ผ๐๐...Me lubs you๐...Thankoos for being the real "Dil and Dimaag" on this show.๐ณ I dont know who is writing your scenes, and I have lostly liked you...but in this track you have been the one stellar positive thing๐๐๐...
Loved the way you beat that guy๐. But more importantly loved the way you are supporting Khushi and being her true "back up". By using the one thing that will help you...the dimaag๐. Especially, when you wisely advice her to take things in a more mature and controlled way and not get emotionally swayed becuase you need to think of how to rescue Arnav๐๐ Well done Mamiji๐
And Utkarshaโญ๏ธ and Sanayaโญ๏ธ ...take a bow darlings for being keeping the flag flying high...There are several glitches in the ASR rescue story (example, which tattoo house displays its customer lists๐๐) but you guys are doing a fabulous job here๐๐๐๐
c) Muchhey ho to Nathhulal jaisi, warna na ho (Movie: Namak Halaal)
Now the best part of today's episode is Shyam was shown either in shadows๐, or in long shots or his silhoutte. Yippee๐ฅณ The cherry on cake was his audio was not working and only sign lanugage was used.... How!!...just how I wish Shyam was shown exactly like this throughout the entire serial๐๐๐๐๐
But, as the saying goes, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride...and JW would have been Pashmeen๐...๐๐...๐๐๐
d) Hum bhi to roz khatron sey khelte hain (Movie: Sholay)
Respected Chaar Singham team waalon, kindly reflect on the following๐
a. A business tycoon is missing for three weeks, and if we count in TV days then perhaps 7-8 days. Given this, apart from his delicate darling wife and Maami no one is concerned.๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ...How!! Why!!... No business associate, no staff, no client, not even his co-workers or his assistant Aman or most importantly Akash are bothered to find where ASR is...I was being really patient here ...but my fanship and love for ASR and in some ways Barun has limits๐๐...Eventually, my sense unfortunately takes over...๐
b. This kidnapping track is frankly now chewed beyond a stretch๐ณ ...And no ..make no mistake๐ณ..this is not the fault of Barun Sobti's multiple shooting schedules for this is pure ill planning and an even ill concieved storyboard. ๐ณ
No one begins shooting for a movie in an hour. In civilised film world there is something called audition, story sessions, casting, fixing filming locales, shooting schedules and then a film's shooting starts. There is no other way to say this, but 4 Lions please try to understand that Barun's absence (for a personal cause which he, being an individual artiste is absolutely, undoubtedly and emphatically entitled to๐ ๐ and which you have been accomodating enough to allow him๐๐) has been completely mis-planned by your creative team๐ณ...Lets not go into the notice period because you are in no way different from other production houses whose artistes too work on multiple things ...Ram Kapoor for example. And this is not an attempt at bashing, this is a constructive feedback, which you will hopefully consider, being professionals in the public mass media creative field๐
Anyways...dear 4 Lions team lets be positive and think ahead on how this can be resolved.๐
You want to show ASR being away till Sobti shoots his movie, by all means do that.๐ But please get a credible "mission ASR rescue" storyline...In any normal situation, by now Khushi and Maami should have involved the men in the family ...if not all ,then at least Mamaji and Akash๐ณ...and the Police...India is not a Banana republic, and its police force is competent, thank you very much.๐
I can understand for cinematic liberties, you want to show Khushi finding ASR๐ณ...and for TRP sake some ASR-Khushi moments...But ab yeh Nancy Drew and Miss Marple ๐๐๐...series is beginning to fatigue yaaron ๐...
Khushi's efforts at finding him, her pain can be shown in more sensible ways of her following up with the Police, looking for clues, being disturbed etc...And when you have a brilliant actress like Sanaya Irani๐๐...you need not make her jump to warehouses, tattoo parlors, and an assorted locales to show Khushi's yearning for ASR๐ณ
e) Pura Naam, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (Movie - Agneepath)
Barun Sobti...take a bow๐๐๐...the action scenes, the grit, the resolve to tenaciously fight back, especially the final action scenes were done very well.โญ๏ธ
I am aware that executing action sequences, is as difficult as dance steps๐ณ, and given the limited time at your disposal, you must have worked really hard to produce a well executed action sequence.๐๐ Absolutely loved the commitment to it๐๐. As for the emotional part...well thats in your lane anyways๐๐๐
And my friend -sylph- (Divs) ๐ค...thankfully forwarded me a youtube link of an SBS segment which I followed up to see you actually apologising to the co-artistes before hitting them๐ฒ...thats super sweet of you Barun๐ค
And, and, and...did you ensure you eyes๐ณ...they looked even better after the blindfold is taken offโบ๏ธ
And Finally my friends๐...Pain is my destiny and I cannot avoid it๐
The good part about IPPKND is that it is a serial with inconsitences and I can forget about it๐, which I do successfully most times...the bad part about it is that it has ASR and I cannot forget about him๐๐...and which I can't do successfuly most times๐๐...is pain ko kya naam doon๐๐
The bad part about ASR being blindfolded, in a vest, was the bechara sight of him being ambushed...but the even bad part is ...cough coughโบ๏ธ...I was distracted by ...ermmm... ASR in a vestโบ๏ธ ...being blindfoldedโบ๏ธ๐๐
Now thats the pain of watching Barun play ASR...sigh๐๐...Iss Pyaar ko really kya naam doon๐๐
Cheers and a great weekend darlings๐
