Hi all. Here is my vishesh tippani for today. Long day, me tired and yet to make and have dinner, so have just done a quick job and left more detailed comments for others to contribute.
The serial opened with Abhimanyu being handed over a family heirloom, a gun... good scene handled well... again, a lot more was conveyed and suggested over and above the dialogues.... the things that we have to come to associate with the character of Abhimanyu... the duality of him, the constant struggle within him and yet the smile.... the 'yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai' attitide that he has.... i dont want to write the same things everyday so all i'll say is that in so many conscious and unconscious ways and gestures Gaurav has become Abhimanyu, just as he had become Samay once.... it shows in the face, in the eye, in the hand movement, in the frame.... after a point, you stop analysing separate gestures and explaining what they suggest because they work together, they work as a whole and derive meaning in and from each other.... what i mean is this... in this scene, be it the slight smirk, the slight sigh, the frame of the body.... all of them conveyed Abhimanyu at this moment.... the weariness, the struggle, the determination to fight nevertheless and also a detachment.... i cant isolate individual moments in this scene because for me it worked as a whole, it worked because i saw Abhimanyu in every shot, every frame.
'yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai' that's such a beautiful song poignantly touching upon the wiliness in life.
The scene where he holds the gun and is looking at it as if all his life he ran away from it and here its being gifted to him as an honor. What a dichotomy of life? His desire to be accepted by his father and make him feel proud does make him happy but then its at the cost of his love of music. The same music which is soul, his strength and he has had to sacrifice it. He disowned violence and now he is in a compelling position to adorn it! How much more cruel can life be?😭😭
But the sad part of being able to relate to Abhimanyu is that it breaks my heart that all this angst is wasted over such childish issues.... the kids refuse to go out with him and he is hurt.... Gaurav did the scene competently enough but it was such a stupid thing to show.... the show needs to make up its mind whether it is the Wonder Years (ie school show) or the OC (ie drama) .... you have nuanced characters.... most of them with multiple layers and almost all of them distinct and full of possibility.... and then they are put in ridiculous situations which are not worth the characteristics that they have been given.... you take characters from good drama and put them in a school show.... what audience are you targetting then?... Of course one can have brilliant drama in a school set up (Boston Public, Boston Public, Boston Public... among the best television i've seen... ever).... but you cannot have multi-layered characters operating in juvenile situations unless you're making a balck comedy.... feeling isolated, feeling alone and wallowing in self-pity happens to most of us at some point in life but thats a different age and if it happens when one is Abhimanyu's age it usually is driven by different reasons.... but this 'you dont have the time to talk to me and so i'll change the rules' is very silly.
I agree completely, what a waste of talent!! Finally expectations did dawn upon you-😆. Well now I am just watching GC's😳 performance👏 and dialogues⭐️ that's all and don't pay much attention to the rest. They have successfully ruined a good concept. This makes me wonder if India TV is more interesting!!😉....😆
The idea that Abhi wishes to be accepted by the group in itself is fair and fine but the depiction, issues and methods are frivolous😡. As you righly said there are different reasons and here the reason for the desire is lacking and that makes it fall flat. Perhaps they just want to pitch the two stars against each other to boost TRP's. Its a sad attempt.
Then the scene with Aalekh.... again good acting in the sense of Abhimanyu being so completely established that every nuance was Abhimanyu and not Gaurav... but the situation was plain pointless again.
Yes I liked the Abhi-Alekh scenes👏. The duos are complimenting each other well. Alekh 's background could have had endless possibilities but sadly it's reduced to stereotyping.
I liked the scene where Abhi thanks Alekh and how he sincerely wishes to be part of them. Alekh said a beautiful line" Aap kisi ke Fav nahi ho …apun ko pata hai kisi ka fav nahi hona kaisa hot ahai"👏 This was so real and honest, Alekh's own desire to be a fav and accepted by all. May be that's why he likes Naina and wants to be like her - appreciated by all.
So the cadets are being spoilt.... and Abhimanyu has been warned not to insult Capt Rajveer.... and thats where it rests now. I liked the last smile.... i went 'thats how you would react'.... and i was talking to Abhimanyu, not to Gaurav.
An orderly threatening a Captain!!!!!!!🤣🤣And pray why shd he do that? Weren't they friends and the other Capt can very well manage his own affairs, I believe.
Finally, blazer with white shirt works for me! Also, long fingers eh?... never realised that earlier.
Ok I get the pic😉...........😆
Bye. See ya tomo. 😊
surely😊
