Glad to see a good debate going on in this Sobti Shrine.
Well, Maverick, let's just ask one thing: Did you expect it to hit the mark?I, for one, did not.Firstly, because I knew that this isn't some I-beg-thy-forgiveness track. It was a I-beg-thy-TRPs track. Oh yes, it was very much evident contrary to what you all thought you might spoon-feed the hungry audience.Secondly- Come on! The intensity has long since been on a Baali trip. In fact, the intensity was all used up by that mutual "I hate you" dialogue by the poolside, or perhaps those super powers of the blue waters absorbed up the intensity. Whatever the case, I see no point in comparing the present scenes to the past ones, which would only be an insult to scenes such as the empowering rain one, the oh-so-touching Teej one or as you mention, the beautiful, heartfelt Gazebo one.Thirdly (and oh you Phangirls, you can say "This is Sparta!" to me for this), along with the flimsy direction and sloppy screenplay, stands a failed characterization by Mr Sobti. I am forced to say, and forced because during those Diwali and Engagement tracks, I swear my drool glands used to work pretty hard, that Barun shows a I-just-got-bankrupted business tycoon, rather than a Doncha-mess-with me one. Do I need to mention the most awaited moment in the history of IPK, the "hair cut"? Boy, does he look greasy! No wonder Sanaya nowadays makes me wonder if I'm straight, the way that girl can pull of that goddamned wig and those hideous clips.
