An idiosyncratic analysis of 24/7

Hi there. As promised, here is the analysis of 24/7.

Well the show began with a continuation of the previous scene where Abhimanyu is trying to get information out of Pooja. The tone of exasperation in which he said 'how can you be so naive?' seemed very natural... is this how Gaurav says it in real life as well?... there was an added layer of frustration today, which had been missing yesterday... there was also the attempt to explain things to her, to help though the exasperation was still there... what i loved was the absolute giving up, the disgust when she said 'aur majboori mein ya toh signal cut jaata hai ya cross connection ho jaata hai'... the way he turned away from her had that 'and this is your level of understanding, this is your level of existence' attitude to it... i loved it because i personally find the use of mobile lingo very stupid... the other thing that i liked was that when Pooja agrees to help him, there was no immediate elation, no sense of victory or joy... in fact the immediate reaction was one of surprise, then there was a calmness, a lack of reaction... deliberate to Abhimanyu since he has to establish authority... And when Gaurav had to say 'aapke doston ke signals nahi kaatenge', i couldnt control my laughter.... though he said it very sincerely. Thankfully he had to say it only once and it was substituted by the more sensible 'kisi ka bura nahi hoga'... then there was a look of determination, when he said 'this is a fight between me and Capt Rajveer'... and after she left, the determination changed to a fatalistic look, which is where the scene ended.

The scene among the cadets was so illogical and so full of inconsistencies of character that i shall not even venture there... Let it be, but let it not be seen/ or analysed by me!

Then there was the scene with Major Nair... Gaurav did it with his usual competence... the dialogues were spoken crisply and well delivered, the lines kept Major Nair's insecurities in mind and so were well written, though perhaps it becomes too subtle vis-a-vis Abhimanyu's character... then he may not get the benefit of doubt that he is saying this to justify his course of action to Major Nair, who he knows will favour a more arbitrary or more ruthless course of action... here, given the fact that the audience is confused about Abhimanyu, it may be assumed that the desire to catch the cadets red handed is Abhimanyu's own... why does the scriptwriter have to be subtle only here and no where else?! uffffffffffffffffffffff.

The next scene of Gaurav was where he is waiting in the main hall for it to be 12 before he can catch the cadets while they are breaking his musical instruments... dramatic scene and the drama was captured well... Gaurav is back to intense with a capital I and therefore the very way in which he stood there was different... it conveyed intensity and a waiting similar to waiting to catch one's prey during a hunt.

So the instruments are broken and i shall see his reactions tomo... cant wait to watch this one... have heard so much about it.

So by next Monday this slow and separate engine will catch up with the present track. 😊 See ya all tomo.

Shvetal.... Please ek sawaal..." Is Abhimanyu turning negative in LRL?"... what is meant by negative and positive chracters... Ain't all these shades of everyone's character? Please answer otherwise I will have to write another scrap... 😆
I know I have missed some episodes but I cant see him doing anything wrong, any injustice to anyone... even if he is competing .... I dun find that negative...😊

Teena i do not think that the character of Abhimanyu is negative at all, forget a little bit or very negative...

The only time when he did something debatable was when he deliberately tripped Pooja in the football field... and even that was an act of aggression in the middle of an aggressive game... i've seen people get far more aggressive, far more hostile on even lesser provocation.

As far as the entire 'inferiority complex' issue goes, i think it is human and perfectly natural to want to be the best, to want the love and affection of everyone, to be well thought of by everyone who knows you, basically to be the best at what you do and who you are... it is natural to want to be like me 😉 😆... its not a bad thing at all.

In this quest for perfection, one naturally gets competetive... and petulant at times. But even then Abhimanyu has always been dignified and tried to do things as fairly as possible.

And now this whole rebellion thing... in the punishment scene, it was apparent that Abhimanyu was insisting on rules but was not going to punish Capt Rajveer as severely as Nair did, he was actually frustrated when the punishment was doled out... and the challenge for the rebellion came after Capt Rajveer accused him of deliberately humiliating him... after Abhimanyu had admitted that he had over reacted. Both men, as i said earlier as well, are over reacting.... basically being men 😉 😆

After that, i do not think he has done anything which is negative... quelling a rebellion and asking questions are not wrong things to do.

Isliye, milord, mere muuwaaqil bilkul nirdosh hai aur 'negative' hone ka ilzaam unpe nahi lagna chahiye, inhe negative kehna iss adaalat aur iss samaaj ki tauheen hai!

well abhi's char is not negative. i read his latest article which said that he matures from a cheerful young man to a serious macho man - something entirely different from that of rajveer. as for the fight betn the two characters rajveer and abhi it is purely over reaction and misunderstanding. but the harm has already been done. abhi though has a macho exterior is even more a softie than rajveer. he wanted to handle the cadets without punishing them but they r too smart and will go to any extent for their favourite teacher. but the music room incident was too much. it is more like a personal attack rather than a revolt and raj should have warned the cadets beforehand. any other person in abhi's place would have taken serious action but abhi resorted to weeping and just let the cadets off with a loud lecture which unfortunately never has any effect. and not a feeling of remorse from the cadets. they may have supported raj and won but they have a lot to learn. what surprised me is that though the cadets r adults they really don't have care for feelings and sentiments apart from their own. they can become good officers only if they have respect for other's sentiments. as far as abhi is concerned he does have respect for authority and sentiments too. but it that stupid comparision which misled his thoughts and made him harsh for a short while though i fail to understand how come an intelligent guy like abhi fell for major nair's tricks.

well i really hated that episode and the next one too - it was disappointing - to see the cadets ruin the music room. never expected them to stoop so low. and abhi has never harmed them except for pooja. i guess no one understands abhi not even raj. but alekh does a bit and i am proud of him for doingso.
