Hi Indi Loved your ASR Analysis and made a rainbow of it. Guess I was also missing ASR. I too believe Barun gave life to ASR. It was not looks because - more then 80% of actors are good looking but we could not even imagine someone in ASR place other then Barun. The fact remained that ASR was angry and yes he was not perfect. I think a major charm in IPKKND was the chemistry and palpable love that ARSHI portrayed. We all have been in love and have seen people in love- but even in real life have never felt that love could be as palpable as SARUN did when they portrayed ARSHI. Like you said- a simple word- Tum Theek ho ( Are you OK). This is a normal polite line we have frequently used - however never thought it carried so much intensity and meaning until we saw that when Arnav said that to Khushi.
samin,
first, welcome back... it's been too long since you could drop in... and i am so happy you are doing so now. saat rang ke answer for you too 😳.
in red, thank you so much for your rainbow. it is always looked forward to.
in green, yes that chemistry, called "khatarnak" by one of the actors... it really took things to another level. every once in a while to actors come along who are so "it" onscreen together. uttam suchitra is on my mind as i sift through some suchitra films. 30 odd movie together, almost all successful, many memorable with unforgettable moments. i have often felt that barun and sanaya perhaps had even more in them as a jodi, something explosive even when they look at each other, interestingly, even when they are shooting separately and sometimes with double. palpable is what it is.
in blue, i laugh at myself sometimes when i hear my heart rumble at words like tum theek ho... but a year on, it still does. as ami said to me, it's because barun played asr so non-fiction. i think he did. and sanaya played khushi non-fiction too as long as she could.
