hey all. this is your wtf hostess back with a fresh edition of the weekend thought feature. 😆 even though there has been no new episode this week... but wait! it's not like there's nothing new to think about though, no? some of it dreamy 😍 some of it to make you think, some to make you growl. *darn that prem. weren't we clear enough on how he is never to say 'alvida' again??!! 'm beginning to despise that word. *
Huh, Alvida , Lets see how long Ekta will make Harshu/Prem say that....
i've had my nose kept to the grindstone all week 'cause we had two tests this week and i had to rapidly catch up with three weeks of stuff. so it was a very limp estee that my prem-crazy-pal took to her home this afternoon for lunch. where i ignored her mother's wonderful lasagna 'cause i was busy gulping down a three-hour episode of the show.
Oh two tests in a row, that too after missing three weeks' classes..how did tests go? is it that you didnt want to skip the test or you didnt have a choice...
1. i've mentioned before how i really can't take too much you-tube-ing in general -- so to see the stuff that i had missed(**) on the show was mindblowing!! and they showed (almost) everything that i had missed! the cross-connection phone call. the first meeting of prem-heer eyes and hands - cast in blue light and winds! oh my! then, rasta-roko. and of course, prem's first confession of "love, love, love, love crazy love"(***) to heer, holding her hand so tight that she can't move away. in brilliant, big-screen glorious technicolour. *sigh!!!* seriously, guys, it makes a huge difference.
It was really nice seeing all those scenes once again on TV...P&H kinda looked funny in the cross connection scene....The rasta roko scene was the one which actually made me love this couple even though did appear different to me from the start....I was expecting themto sho the 19th june and soap sud scenes too but they didnt , instead showed lallu slapping prem scene 😡and lallu praying at the darga ,
what was worthy of wtf-ing is that the story told was prem's story, in prem's voice. both raksha and hope (hope08) pm-ed me 'bout this too. i asked my pal and she said that every other show done this week didn't seem to have this format. so *+ has done this specially - balaji can't have done this 'cause they have no staff? makes me think that hc's still on balaji's payroll. that hc's still investing in this show. that hc's gonna be back in the show -- no matter that his name is not in the list of credits at the end.
Yeah, I guess HC is still on Balaji's payroll....coz he's still in the show someway or the other plus he hasnt taken up any other shows of any other production houses.....and this whole 3 hr episode was shown from Prem's POV and as his story ....they started it with his intro scene....it kinda indicates that Prem is still in the show and will be back soon...
2. actually, i haven't figured that one out -- why isn't hc's name in the list of credits? balaji telefilms took pulkit samrat to court for breach of contract (walking out on lakshya before his term is over). and yet they had his name in the list of credits for ksbkbt. and it can't be lajiness(@) -- they add names when they have to. notice that now there are four names of directors for kdmhmd, rather than three? so... why the funny trick with hc's name? my opinion? i think even they are confused as to whether to put in "h chopra" or "h chopda".... 🤣 or hey! maybe they said he could only have it in if he changed his name to "h choopda" for those karmic/vedic/fengshui/voodoomagic reason and he refused? 🤣🤣 gee, no wonder vikas goo-(oooops!)-pta appears not to like hc much... 🤣
h choopda🤣nice point ....I guess someone from thier group must have read this and thats why they immediately took action and added his name...after all , it was the founder of the IHP club who's posted this..
3. still... it was nice to hear hc's voice again. i've always thought that his voice was (one of his) best asset as an actor. *'kay, 'kay! so is the jawline. and the eyes. 'kay, the hair! 🤣* i remember thinking that iqbal khan had a gorgeous voice. hc's is different. ik's voice is gorgeous. hc's voice is not as outstanding. what is different is how hc uses it better -- like the most potent poison to trap,draw-in,capture-forever his (poor, palpitating) audience. it works like magic when he is in front of you, in character. i remember thinking that hc was out of the prem character once - during a flashback (post-prem's-apparent-death) with kuldi's husband - 'cause his voice was so... unprem! i think the same thing happens when he is not on screen and doing really long prose - the effort of using the voice to capture his audience comes through. so i was glad that he didn't have paragraphs to do in the 3-hour show.
HC's list of assets go on - his smile, his hands, his muscular body etc etc....yes HC knows how to use his voice...I never found it all that attractive in the initial episodes but from the almost confession scene he has used it brilliantly, the emotional scene with Gmom, the jail scene, the confession scene, the mandap scene, argh the list goes on...IK 's voice has more bass to it...and goes well with his personality, but doesnt suit all kinds of scenes...or may be he didnt know how to use it...there were many scenes where it lacked passion...
yeah, HC was out of prem character at times - the scene you pointed out, his voice mail thing,...
4. but i must say! there were some really sweet things to hear "prem" say to explain the story! the first part 'bout how "harman was studying law and preet?.... naughtiness, fun, playfulness" 😆
and of course, most of the story was the prem-heer story (as it well should be!). the part of how his "junoon" spilt out of control (at the first confession/hand-grabbing moment?). or how "the heart that his heart beat for was moving away from him" but that "who was to know that things would change so dramatically" (at the prem-breaking-marriage-to-ashlesha) and as i listened to hc's voice, it was sooo obvious that he's in love with the prem character. seriously. hc loves prem as much as we do. someone who is treating prem "as just another character to play" couldn't have delivered those lines with so much obvious love. seriously. 😍
The dialogue abt his junoon spil out was a wonderful one...he seems to live Prem while doing PRem....he has done it with soo much perfection....and its soo obvious that he loves the character soo much...it was evident from his 1hr phone in interview with AG on SBS oct 1st , how much he loved the character Prem and how badly he wanted to continue....Ekta, you listening ??? the part where he was talking abt all his efforts , hearing narations, sitting with the writers , discussing all coming to an end, the pain was evident in his voice...
Ekta will bring him back , she has to.....
5. it was startling to see prem on so much fire, though no? i guess i'd forgotten the intensity of that prem -- he was spitting anger at dirtchachi when he's defending heer! hmmmm.. actually prem has never been that intense, or focussed, or on fire as much as when he was "after" heer, was he? i mean, it's like now that he has found and got heer, he's on a totally different plane of peace and contentment -- no matter what happens to the his family! seriously! veera tries to kill herself - nope, prem is goopy. not intense. ratpal targets daddy. more goopy prem. no intensity. after all, it's no longer prem - it's prem-heer. prem-heer apparently function different from prem-without-heer. *sigh* why am i doing this? like i need more reasons to ... uh ... hate prem.. *sigh!!* 😆
Rite.....Prem before getting Heer was more intense, determined, focussed and what not...his so called junoon was visible in his eyes...but after getting her, he was more relaxed...even while facing RR he lacked the killing look that he used to give Madmeet /Prashant, or may be Veera didnt give him a chance to...plus having Heer by his side he must have felt complete...
btw does he have to bother abt veera trying to kill herself and daddy being targetted...I would say no...but he is Prem and he will....
6. other than the blooming "alvida" word *😡 prem!* i thought the ending was quite intriguing -- they stopped it exactly at the point of the blast?? i guess that was logical - from prem's pov. but it was intriguing 'cause they could've put that insanely idiotic list of orders prem gave while being slowly progressing to krispy-preme. * yeah, like in the doughnuts🤣* they could've ended with prem saying that he wanted things for his family and that he hoped they would live happily ever after. but they didn't. *sigh* maybe i'm thinking too much. maybe it was just that way 'cause they ran out of time? huh!
insanely idiotic list, yes that was what it was...krispy-preme 🤣🤣 yes they ended it logically...but this time he said he is going far away from us, rite(something like main aap sabse door ja raha hoon)...far away could mean he's just away somewhere and can return anytime...😕did i get that rite....dont remember well, saw it last week ....
Once he's back I want him to stop thinking abt his family and think only abt Heer...marry her..ok he can give sometime to Gmom too...
so. if this strike thingie is not resolved by the end of this week either, does that mean that we'll have a "new" 3-hour episode of the show next week also??? will they do it from heer's pov this time? hmmm...!
That'll be interesting...but they shuldnt repeat the unnecessary lallu, veera ,etc scenes....
7. but i must say: i miss knowing what's to happen next in the story. and of course, one more week waiting for prem (wfp). 'cause of this silly strike we have to suffer wfp going from 20 to 24 this week. i mean, i know the world economy is going to bust in a basket, but! why don't the silly tv-channels just raise the fees to the production firms. so that the production firms can then pay the workers their higher salaries. so that we can move faster to ending wfp??? *what?? you thought that i had noble intentions for the strike to get resolved?? 😲😆*
wfp seems to go up more...no signs of strike ending this week too...hopefully by next monday they'll start showing new episodes with the story taking an immediate turn to bring back Prem...So many people mus t be suffering due to the strike, the workers and their dependants, viewers , actors ....
** -- missed seeing on tv. i started watching the show after prem's superb showdown with gayatri-mom when dirtchachi accused her of not loving prem 'cause he was her stepson.
aah 😍, what a scene that was...Thats where HC showed his acting brilliance....who wouldnt say they are not real mother and son....the first time I noticed that he is a fine actor was in the almost confession scene, it really seemed as if he was in love with AG 😍 and then in all the scenes that followed he was The Prem..
