clips~ 18, 19 ~ this is where it all began for me.. my choice cuts!
Once upon a time..
I saw Dutta's entry on the docks and was impressed right away by his polished austerity. So the scenes progressed, the knight in shining armour catapulted his feat, saved the damsel in distress, granted her liberty from imminent virtuous disgrace .. and the damsel when the need arose soon after, reciprocated the knight's favor by saving his life. Her reward was acceptance into the worthy, powerful and prestigious castle of the knight of the highest order in his granted territory.
With the first clip, unfolded the scene where the fairy tale element commenced.. there were unheeded, yet felt symphonies. I willingly predicted magical moments to come, in an enchanted land of faraway where the impossible happened! A lowly maiden, fallen for the mighty Don, where dreams fantasized in the silent recesses of the heart through the portals of her eyes.. a kaleidoscope of mystical colors glowed faintly.The soul stirred for love to sprout between the unwanted maid and the much wanted lord ,till more charm was created..between the handsome and the hideous. Seemed a tall order, yet the imagination desired for it ,the allure and mystery of LTL 1 had caught me and never let go of me to this day..
Through Naku's eyes we see the larger than life Dutta, complete with attitude and carriage of his charismatic personality. The imposing authority, his curt manner; the suspecting quietly vigilant gaze, his delayed gait towards her, ..the slow sharp inspection of her with his narrow eyes upon her, and thus he interrogated her.. yet respected her hesitation and backed off with a more things to come dialogue, as he towered over her with a certain quiet humility... this is the picture of Dutta that lingered in my soul.. the keen, lean ,mean, cold, suave don.. compare him [Mishal] to the final scenes of LTL 1..where he had beefed up a bit.. to me he looked lethal when he was leaner .. like so in this clip. Highlight Dutta's theme music in the beginning..
As the clip progresses, the characters of fairy tale are introduced, male bonding .. the loyal jesting friend, easily led waste of space father, a doting foster mother and the conniving sisters, the plotting and foul play element.. noteworthy, in the clip is the peek into Kala's modis operandi of using Naku's loyalty to her Bhao, in the future to facilitate her plot against the noble knight, it is interesting she can predict an eventuality ..the closeness yet to be bloom between the master and his maid..some more amusing facts about Dutta's personality, like his bird appetite are relayed.. while in all this cunning slyness of the evil trio, there is one gentle Naku with her outward hideousness, but hard to conceal innocence and truthfulness.. for her loyalty shows, in her concern about his welfare, which sums up that something has ignited in the girl.. So all doubts clear that Dutta is the force that everyone revolves around...
Finally in the clip come, some madly in love winsome moments of the lowly maid lost in the thoughts of the lord of the manor, highlighted by the beautifully romantic scene between the don and the maid .. where interchanged looks over took the spoken word, and actions. Their eyes.. the mirrors of one's soul.. his narrow eyes as opposed to her large bold eyes, both seemed impressed and enamored by the other. She is already besotted by him. He sits fascinated by her simple boldness and rooted sincerity.. his looks give her the impression that he approved of her company and the food she cooked.. most soulful scene to me..

Kishore along with AS and Naku and Baji standout as the symbolically good upright characters of LTL1.. as opposed to the evil trio. In this clip we are introduced to Kishore who is unafraid to point out his wife's short falls..yet is seen as an ineffective husband when it came to having a lasting impact on her.
Another of my favourite Dutta and Naku clips.. how love lost she seems, day dreaming about him.. and in the reverie she sees him in the manner we all love to see Dutta.. studying his palm.. and the totally in love maid pleases her soul by what and how she wants to be wooed by the master.. totally romantically dreamy.. his curt yet almost flirty complimentary message in Naku's trance that he gives her, lifts her's and our souls to the heavens ..and then the abstraction ends and we come across the suspicious Don... graceful and elegant to the point, and brief...To me, his piercing looks could easily gauge that he gives the silly girl fever.. Highlight.. myriad of Mishal's expressions
Then we see the other woman, the proposed future wife of the lord of the manor .. The tragic element cum irony.. is introduced Naku's in words for the new visitor, as "potential enemy of Dutta".. ring out ironically.. a foreboding of events to come. Yet her eyes and expression at the end of the clip has a fighting expression.. and we form an empathy towards her genuine, selfless, unconditional love for her master.. what interested me in this clip are Dutta's come hither looks to Supriya and AS informing every one that Dutta was eying Supriya at his friends marriage .. leading us to believe that he fancied Supriya, long before Naku cajoles him into considering Supriya ..Hamlet53..6.2.13
