What a pandora box you have opened up ... The man who loves red ... But wears black ... Gray ... For the most part ... We do see him in his orange ... Green ... Marron later ...
If she had worn the blue sari ...
The script set both of them diametrically opposite each other ... Faithless, faith driven ... Dark foreboding, chirpy sweet ... Loving, affectionate, sweet ... controlled, diabetic ... You get the drift ... Even the colors ... Right in the first episode ... Almost the first few lines ... Someone says ... Show ki theme red hai ... Aur yeh green pehan Kay aai hai ... The stage is set ...
I dunno if I have a point to make or just want to talk about the colors in IPK
The first time he see her ... and I believe loses his heart ... She is wearing green and gold ... Next day ... White ... He will later compliment her ... His first direct compliment ... Episode 319 or 320 I think ... Tum white mein bahut acchi lagti ho ... Loved this about the story telling and our man ... Fell in love the instance he saw her and took him eons to compliment her with words ... But that is my ASR ... Like pulling out teeth ... Getting him to compliment her.
Onto colors again ... Finds her in his closet ... Red ... Teri meri ... Green ... Another first ... Non compliment compliment ... Yeh rang tum pay ... Don't you love him and want to smack him at the same time ... Forced wedding, red blue ... Red green ... Kidnapping rescue ... Red ... Hut near consummation ... White ... His private suhag raat ... Red pink ... Their consummation ... Black ... Wedding day ... Hated the outfit, too much fabric ... Too much jewelry, Pink, Gold green ...
But THE moment ... His second turn to stone, spellbinding moment... Photo shoot ... Red ... I keep repeating he fell in love the first instance he saw her ... But that moment can only be acknowledged once they are at peace ... Like maybe at the consummation ... Or maybe years later ... But the photo shoot is an immediate, instant, undeniable, admitting ... Never backed away from. He never ran away from his desire ... He is overrun by it ... Hates his lack of control ... But enjoys it ... Caressing the pearls ... Thinking about the first dark encounter ... Her in the red sari ...
Red, is sort of set up as a signal for us ... a color of his passion ... Desire... was presented that way ... She wears red ... Office store room ... Closet ... Return to RM after bandage engagement ... Dress up at La's engagement shopping spree ... A sort of dialing the clock back to its original spot ... Return to base ... It ties the story telling ... Won't say every ... But after each major conflict ... Her return to him is in red ... Like a thread that ties her to him ...
But does he not desire her in green ... In her yellows ... He can't keep his is hands to himself at Teri meri ... Khar that is another ... His dream Teri meri... White and blue ...
Like I said I have no point to make except agree that red was used as a highlighter ... A code for his want ...
But he desired her in every color under the sun ... He wouldn't have cared if she came in a drabby brown ( I love brown by the way ) But the story telling ties it to his memory of the girl in that red sari ... The one who stole his breath ... So it was important she wore red that day ... But would the scene be any less powerful if she had worn the blue ... Maybe not ... But maybe would have lost that one layer ... One tie back ...
