yesss Ani... I did see your fantastic post the day you put it up. My issue was not the character of Anna... it was more to do with actually watching those very powerful videos that you have put up.. heaven's what a action packed show it was LTL1... nothing has so far come as even close to it , and Ani I think, this show will never loose its potency before me.
You have again , done complete justice to yet another character of LTL 1.. that of Anna..
Now what is Anna to me... well its obvious he is but one of the villians of LTL1.. yes for the tale has a few, and very strong ones too. You have Morey, Chaskar, a particular bade haste, then there is Kala, Seema, and NS.. and then you have Anna...
Anna , to me is the super villain, if Dutta is a super hero.. then he surely needs a super villain to compete against in near-eternal rivalry... and Anna is it. Anna being the super villain is always the opposite of the super-hero Dutta and mostly has special reasons to hate him, Anna possibly hated Dutta's class, his family security and backing..his young age.. all of which Anna was devoid.
To me Anna the super villain is highly intelligent, and I feel he has an air about him where he reckons his acts are justified!
Another point that attracts me towards Anna is.. as you have pointed out in your first video clip... one has the super villian.. no ordinary beastly , biggie henchmen , but a singer, a rapper , a photograher! an articulate man who comes out with metaphors and interesting phrases in his speech..."dutta is my favourite enemy".. with cutting humourous lines like.."dil ke dil se meeting", and "every day is not a sunday"! In fact Ani he makes the otherwise quiet Dutta too speak in metaphors... samundar ke aulad hoon main... and maachwarra jal ka raja hota hai...
To, me Anna is one villian who is there against Dutta as his business or trade adversary.. so I take his role in Dutta's present job in a stride...
Finally, I see Anna , as a bit of a psycho...there are moments he has a maniac smile , and can kill for the sake of it. I see that streak in him to hurt Dutta where he will feel it the most... kidnapping the foe's wife. Here , when he wants to marry the fair maiden Naku.. I almost say , now surely he doesn't just want the power .. he's just plain crazy!
thank you for a super post... with much love ... hammie
