A Detached Viewer...

Okay, I know , I know, people must be expecting some senti * coughs ahem coughs* mental post now , after an episode like this one, but I guess... not....😉

Sentimental mein pehle mere paas is serial ke liye "Senti" bacha tha...aaj sirf "Mental" bacha... hai...

On a more serious note, as an ardent KAA / Mr IK,/ Ms Pallavi / S-G fan, after knowing the new twist in the tale, I did look forward to the episodes out of curiosity , but both the episodes aired on the 19th and 20th of Dec with the Shiv Ipshitha angle failed to impress me , and I watched the episodes with a strange detachment , unlike the earlier episodes...

I would not deem it right on my part to comment on the acting skills of any of the actors involved , but yes, I couldnt relate to the histrionics of a certain few in certain scenes, the most obvious being the lake side scene with Shiv expressing his love for the portrait girl aka Ipshitha....

The obvious passion and longing and pain of seperation one expects amidst lovers such as these , was clearly missing...

Sad to note, it seemed only the man was deeply , passionately in love , while the woman , seemed the ideal personification of "Pathar ke sanam.."...

Sadly the entire scene , where Shiv was mouthing the words " I worship you".. , the expression on his lady love's face reminded me of the song ..

"Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamne khuda janaaa..."...

As for concept / story, I guess, expecting a path breaking story was definetely wishful thinking, but I guess, the most important is to have the viewers relate to the story, the scenes...

Sadly , the past two episodes had scenes that were conceptualized very well, of childhood sweethearts, of pain and of seperation, of two lovers in pain, for they cannot stay with eachother, yet all the scenes lacked a feel... a connect that was missing, which merely left the viewers detached and bored... rather than evoke emotions for the characters....

Ironical that, scenes of two people bound in a unwanted marriage and the relucatant acceptance , sent the viewers into a state of euphoria, while a seemingly passionate, intense tale of two childhood sweethearts , left the viewers begging for it all to end...

The past two episodes, were clearly meant to have the viewers on the edge , but sadly left me atleast , waiting for them to end... despite some brilliant performances....

A sad irony, well conceptualized scenes , some brilliant performances, emotions galore, a gripping story..... leave behind a bored ,detached viewer... wonder why??

Food for thought.. I guess...

Sadly people, I at the end of the day remain a detached viewer ...hence ...

-Sareeta

- Jus my thoughts on the episodes, no offence is meant to anyone, neither the actors, nor the creatives, nor the viewers...

It is at the end of the day , my view point, I wished to share...here on KAA IF...

sareeta..tis one is simply mindblowing 👏 👏 very well said 👏 👏

even pathar wud have reacted by breaking into pieces..after all who is kissing it 😳

shiv and ipshis relationship actually seems genuine!!! i wouldnt say it was a natak at all. i mean they have their own music in the bakground!!! their love seems real.

i totally agree with you, i didnt feel that sizzle and sparkle that i felt when shiv and gauri had scenes together such as in the jungle or during the dance scenes.

in fact i felt more emotion for gauri as she stood waiting for shiv....

Sareeta... Exactly my thought and I am sure it is the view point of lot of other people too.... Only difference we cant put our feelings as beautifully as you have done here ... Awsome.... 👏

yeah me too from now on i just dont care. gauri deserves better. shiv is an ass hole. i am not going to watch kaa anymore, i will just read the updates. will make my mum happy because she thinks i am too obsessed with kaa. divine providence of lightning might not have striked shiv and shit and roasted them, but it did strike me and told me to get back to my work and studies. everything happens for a reason and i guess now i have a good excuse to focus on other important things. no more videos for me it hurts my eyes, i shall only read if there is some good news. 👏

I agree Ash, their love is supposed to be genuine, but we could only make that out only because Mr IK portrayed it so well.... I jus for the life , even after trying couldnt relate to the lady playing ipshita... and the music of course was a dead giveaway... it was toooooooooooooo hearttouching!

I believe it to be real, but only if it had evoked that essence in us through the portrayals of both the characters involved rather than jus the Man ..involved.. aint it? 😉

You bet, the lightening struck me harder today and I am off soon on my longer vacation in January.... and I better start planning my itenary... now... far more interesting than Kundali business eh??? 😆 😆 😆

Thanks Vivs! I needed to get it all out of my system... the episodes for me atleast were a serious let down... the story can be anything, but we have to relate.. Jus one actor cannot carry a scene at times... thatz being unfair to him aint it Vivs?

I am fan of Mr IK, hell , on ardent one at that after watching KAA, and I felt a sudden pang of sadness.. that why is that only he is showing so much emotion when everything else seems a drag.....It was way tooo obvious... it seemed like a man in love with a Patthar and so passionate about it too .. sadly.. no offence to the actress playing Ipshitha.. Sorry lady , culdnt relate to you... zilch!! 😊
