Once again LTL has managed to come up with an episode where the drama lies concealed like some underwater current. Some thing is unfolding here, but you just cannot be exactly confident of your hunch. Nana, Gopalrao (not to forget the exiled Kala)...so many possibilities or may be a larger coming together of vested interests for who Dutta's principles are the biggest road block. This has always been the pull of this serial. Things start moving along expected lines and then errupts in a resounding surprise! End result, a track thats unique in its conceptualization.I think here too, our gut feelings will come a cropper in one way or the other. Though I think Naku is onto Nana's game. But again Nana too can be under duress of some situation or the other. The man has diabetes and now having thought about it, did he ever suffer a cerebral stroke? may be thats why the right side of his face is paralysed? 😆😆Jokes apart, this episode is one fine example of why LTL is such a favourite of mine. The scenes, the settings, the dialouges and definitely the actors all reach out to you with so much genuineness that you start feeling a part of it all. Which tingles the imagination in such a welcome fashion.The scene at Patil Niwas had such a sense of bonhomie about it that you can't help but giggle with the sisters, blush with Naku and be thoroughly embarrassed with Dutta. You even mannage to be patient with Sudarshan when he attempts that toothy smile.I always feel like reaching out and squeezing Baji's cheeks when he runs his hand through his hair looking all impish and befuzzled. And today ...my, my, he has a smart Olive kurta to show off. Then again, this Baji-Dutta banter was something missing, so loved it. It brought back the scene after the Anna track where Baji says, 'Kya bhau ye sab aur kab tak chalega? yeh ankhon hi ankhon me baate karna, bina bole hi bahut kuch bata dena...' (or words to that effect) and asks Dutta why he had not yet put the Mangalsutra Back on Naku.At Nana's place, the depiction of the setting is so detailed that you can almost smell the flowers, watch the lights flicker, feel the proximity as in a big gathering.Gopalrao seems a man hugely inspired by Bappi da!But don't we all know all that glitters is not always covering a golden heart!Dutta's conversation with this new entrant has so much unclapped thunder!!! Nana was wise to break it off.How the writer(s) visualises each actor is wonderful. Having read/seen this script unfold for the past two weeks, I have a feeling that the MR (also MV and the rest of the cast) magic that we have seen on screen, much of it was weaved by the minute instructions penned by the writers. Like when to look where, when to throw back your head, at what juncture to give out that sigh, raise the brows, purse the lips, let a unspoken smile play on the face; Sheer anger, passion, frustration, helplessness, pain, remorse... all the myriad emotional journeys that add up to be LTL.Yes MR translated all this exceptionally and while executing each expression put his indelible hallmark on each. But I guess this explains why even in 'Love Story' he failed to make the impact that he has done with LTL.You have come up with another cracker of a prelude. Hope what Naku has is just a gash and nothing serious. Whoever's harmed her thinking thats how you get back at Dutta, is but a mere Fool. They may have interpreted Nana's 'Dutta ki jaan' rave in their own way, but little do they realise, She actually is Dutta's biggest strength. Naku's elfine beauty always gives her an aura of frailty. Yet beneath all that wide eyed look, its tempered steel--pure and simple. And with Bappa on her side, she is more formidable an adversary than Dutta.So will be counting the hours to next week.You guys do know how to keep your viewers hooked 😉
Hey moontide! Thank you so much... I read your posts in the prev thread also but by the time I came back to reply to it the thread was locked...
@red: 🤣 You are really taking poor Nanasaheb's case... i dont know how much evil he will turn out to be, but right now, he is really at the receiving end from you, isn't he!?
