EDITED finally!

firstly the thing which attracted me to your VM was the tune ahh obviously 😳 its intense, sad, and painfully romantic...made me curious...

The very first scene wrenches my heart, has a lump on my throat. the "matt jao" i always loved how arjun can modulate his voice to make his dialogues more impactful and the very next scene you show nupur walking away with dhruv while the beautiful BG starts, as mayank looks away from them and the you take it to the flashback, as lonely mayank sits there after he has lost everything, the painful tune highlights his pain even more...abt the boxing one, though i wud have preferred the other boxing seq of mayank, but then this one has surprisingly fit well and i guess, u used it because of the fall in the end...amazing none the less...

another poignant part was the beads shattering, rather him shattering, them shattering forever...

and in the last piano piece you show mayank standing alone in the rain, remencing the beautiful moments, the togetherness, the completeness, as he opens it its again empty and void, the memories, pierce him , pain him, but i guess it has become a part of him, he is living with it!

beautiful VM sabah, thanks a lot, i loved it for mayank and the tune!

You know I found that each actor brought a different nuance from the original manga characterizations of the male or female in either the Japanese, Taiwanese or Korean versions. In that way they are the same and yet not. I loved the adorable aspect to domyouji and makino, I loved the intensity of Daoming si and Shancai, whilst the overall angst in the Korean versions of the same. That iconic moment of him waiting for her on their first date, kind of like the non-date of MN that just happened, was just beautifully done in all BUT my favourite was HYD. Again HYD has the best stuck in a lift moment too! I loved certain lines from MG. For instance I loved 'I don't like what I have become, a girl without any courage, who wears a false smile everyday, that shouldn't be me!' That running after the bus scene too. Like Nupur's dash for Mayank. In fact MJHT copied some elements and scenes for the SG Sheena pool party track from the Korean version.

ah Sabah your intriguing me to the korean version more and more 😳

However as you said, Arjun would be a find actor for the Indian version. Maybe we should petition Indian PH, as some fans are currently doing in Thailand for a Thai version. 😆

i wud not mind tat at all though, i wud LOVE it infact. only if they could modify it to suit his age and plus not ruin the beauty of this manga and its adaptations.

Actually I too prefer Japanese dramas, although out of the three here, I would still say I love MG the most as it introduced me to this wonderful couple. Have you seen Nobuta wo produce? I would highly recommend it.

abt nobuta wo produce, i have watched 3 episodes of it, but then it got discontinued in btw, exams and other stuff, now tat u recommend , i'll continue it😳

the problem i find with MG is basically with Shan Cai, in HYD, the Makino, Domyouji and Rui angle is shown beautifully, i esp LOVE Domyouji's and Rui's friendsip potrayed in HYD, scenes worth mentioning wud be the one in which Rui leaves for France, effecting Domyouji so much! and when he narrates how Rui stopped having apples because of him 😆 to MAkino. or the fight scene F4 have which ends beautifully with Domyouji giving Rui the apple. (oh F4 deserve a mention too amazing bonding btw the 4, important part of HYD! 😳) i always felt Rui is the godfather of Domyouji-Makino's relationship 😳

however i somehow did not like treatment of Lei, Shan Cai and Dao ming Si. i kind of did not like the track in which they go on a trip, maybe because Shan Cai and Dao ming, had moved a step ahead maybe. I totally agree, they are intense! in fact few scenes i liked in the show was when Shan Cai was taking blows by the school mates and Dao ming comes and protects her and says "as long as u say u did not do it, i believe you" and the brave shan cai breaks down to cry bitterly.

😳 Yes, I loved this aspect too, that his family are his friends. Which again we found in MJHT, where the lack of family stemmed more from the creators than the story. Ah!, Shilpa Aunty, one of my all time favourite characterizations AND so excellently expounded by you. However I would say, that difference isn't so deep in that Domyouji's sister takes up the slack we find in that dearth between Mayank and him. What would say? Again that similarity of Domyouji's sister's relationship with Makino, being on her side in getting them together which we see mirrored in Shilpa Aunty's relationship with nupur.

true tat. Domyouji's sisters support for their relationship has Shilpa aunty's resemblance along with the numerous advice (the one i remember would be, you have to love in order to be loved back 😳 😆) his sister gives to Domyouji has somewhere or the other resemblance with Shipa aunty's sensible one's when mayank was in his denial stage. of course the protective feeling the chirpy Tsubaki has for her brother (despite knocking punches on him 😆) , determined to not let him go through wat she has previously is also wat i like. haha Domyouji's sister's relationship with Makino (starting from the very first meet she was at her service ! 😆) to tat of shilpa aunty's with nupur 😆 she punches her brother, takes makino's side, while mayank has to stay on the other side when Shilpa aunty is all for nupur 😆 and of course both the ladies teasing the brother or the son abt their respective love interests 🤣 and how impressed both of them were with Makino and Nupur! proud of the brother's and son's choices 😆 (i so want to mention the scene where Tsubaki tell to her mother in the last episode tat she has realized tat the only thing tat moves someone's heart is ofcourse someone else's heart 😍)

I love that song. You know I almost made my first vm on that song! why didn't you make it 😆 😉 Why don't you try making it? I would love to see someone far more capable bringing out the beauty of that song. i tried you know a lot of times, but the japanese lyrics always becomes a hindrance.

I love this moment in Korean version where he compare himself to a handkerchief, that he is there for her to wipe away any tears and dirt the world brings upon her. I loved that moment in MG when he helps her find that necklace Daoming si throws away into the lake. However I don't know how an Indian version would handle the subtleties of that role. one word - BADLY!
😆
He loves her, but settles to protect her, be her guardian. I don't know, I would fear them turning it into a love triangle WHICH domyouji, makino and Rui never really were in essence. If you understand my definitions. Yes they both loved her, and she loved them both too BUT in that way they illuminated the different nuances of love NOT a love triangle like say Dil toh pagal hai which only shows that people love whom they love and the rest remain the rest.

this is one of the beauties of HYD! Rui!! obviously anyone prone to indian TV wud term it as a "third angle" 😆 but tats not how Rui was potrayed, infact i believe he was an important step, in Domyouji-Makino's relationship than a hindrance. but at the same time he wud always be known as Makino's first love. as you said he settled to protect her. neither did Domyouji bind Makino, he knew Rui's importance in her heart, all he asked her was to be honest to him, he cud see her happy with Rui, but not hurt.

Do you need a site address? Unfortunately the one I use is currently offline BUT maybe I could share them with you. I have an account on 4shared that I could use. Just let me know. 😃

oh pls do! i am looking forward to it, thanks to ur discription! i guess it shud be on the site i watch asian dramas too, but am not sure, anyways do send it

Haan, I understand. Mayank or domyouji is that question I wouldn't mind spending a lifetime answering. 😳 I wish you many happy thoughts upon this subject. With much love, Sabah

Sabah Di,

Firstly, I apologise for the delay. 😳 Seemingly, vacations are not exactly vacations. Akansha, there is no need to apologize, please never feel obliged to reply to all of any of my posts. My friendship is not based upon you fulfilling my every whim. However, I am truly glad that you watched my attempt at something new, and your honest reply.

It was no surprise to me that you made VMs, even if this was just your second. I had watched your first one, (thanks to Kankshita😃) and loved it. Forgive me, I forgot to mention it to you.😳

I believe there is a specimen of uniqueness in every artist. Yours is that you capture the essence wonderfully.⭐️ Hmm, I am not sure. I always end up having to explain myself. However my primary aim is always to cause movement in hearts, even if it is just what was that? Anything other than just nonchalance.

I have practically no sense in VM making and its dynamics, but this VM of yours has touched my heart. I watched it over and over and over again, until i could gain my senses back, come back to this world again and type this out for you. That is truly kind. However any beauty you find it proportional to the beauty within your own heart. I am glad to find that your strong soul is protecting a soft heart. God bless it in abundance.

I rather not mention what I loved the best in it, for the beauty of your VM lies in its absolute.

I'd just say, you've left tiny tears in my eyes. That really is the best compliment. As I told another recently, I never seek to garner millions of likes and well done posts. All I wish for are a few or even just one reader, one soul who watches with their heart, and shares any movement with me that makes me feel that my effort was worthwhile. Thank you for being one of my few, my precious friends. With much love, Sabah

Dearest Cotton Ball,Sweetheart,

You never fail to surprise me. Just when I was feeling really low today, your email popped up in the mail box and I was smiling by the time I finished reading it.Now, I am smiling too. 😳

And yes, here is your hug... 🤗Dil se thanks, it was much needed. 😳 Also thanks for being a friend who understands me rather than misunderstanding me. 😳

First of all, I'm sorry that I'm commenting late. Pardon me, I'm not a regular visitor of IF, but I love to come here for my friends like you. And today you gave me a wonderful reason to visit MJHT forum after long time.😳 I just wish I could have provided better bait. 😳

Your VM making skill does not surprise me at all. I have seen your attention to detail on my VMs and I have seen how your mind picks up the tiniest details and musical story which other VM makers are trying to present. And having that mind means you have it in you to make a great VM maker yourself. Plus I have seen your first VM and have loved it, even though I never commented on it that time. But how can you say that I shouldnt watch this? I love MN, but I love presenting them in different themes, different stories. I love experimenting and more than that I admire creativity and art. And you know me, right? So let me be the judge myself if I like the VM or not. :P 😆 Haan OK. However you must understand my anxiety for your standards are so high in most regards BUT this concerns MN.

When I first watched it earlier tonight, I was left in tears and gloominess, which means you have done a great job of making a perfect tragedy VM. Watching tragic love stories and stories of longingness, pain, hurt and sad endings, make my heart cry inside for days. Such stories leave me with an intense impact that I never want to forget those. One such love story is A Walk To Remember. How do you see your love die in front of your eyes? How do you get past and live with her memories? Sigh... Everytime I watch that movie, it bleeds my heart. But it makes me strongly believe in true love. I love such tear-jerker movies which stir my emotions inside. Have you seen Keith? I too love a walk to remember BUT Keith is more beloved, maybe because it is more hatke. It has more layers and details that I love. Give it a try and let me know how you found it.
And that's exactly what your VM has done here. 👏 Aw, thank you for your kindness. I know that my editing was a little shoddy and that the scenes did not flow fluently or eloquently like they do in your vms. I fear that I focused more upon the message than the overall aesthetic quality of the vm. I am in awe how you and other vm makers manage to paint a picture, add the tone of a theme and make the whole thing beautiful to behold. 😳

Your VM beautifully paints a blue tragic story of Mayank. It starts with a pleading "Mat Jao" from Mayank. The start itself makes a correct impact of what is coming next. And then it follows with Nupur leaving Mayank and walking with another man. Tears clouding his eyes and then he comes down on his knees... but she has already left him... perfectly edited...⭐️ All credit to Sony Vega for that. It really helped me in this vm, since the whole flow of the theme depended upon the beat of the melody that just had to be perfect. I know in some places I missed the beat, but overall I am happy at the result. I am no perfectionist, as you know, so this is from my it will do predilection.

And then I loved the whole sequence of Mayank's agony...his present and his past...the flashbacks of his memories with Nupur... whole sequence is beautifully done. I loved how you showed his efforts to move on with his life with the punching bag scene. He is angry, he is hurt... and he is trying to move on.. trying to get past the fact that she has left him. With each punch, her still images flash in front of his eyes. He punches hard in anger, he punches hard to forget her. But he fails miserably.(and literally falls down on his back too.) Brilliant use of the scene.⭐️ When I first watched this scene, it is how I imagined it. Although, he was more agitated than heart broken, so those flashbacks were more just glimpses of Nupur. Here however, I wanted to added more anger, frustration and hurt, which was aided greatly by the music. Then I wanted to find stunning pictures of Rati, to contrast against his darkness as well as illuminate the tremendous nature of his loss. She wasn't just a pretty girl he had lost BUT something worthy. These pictures of Rati were perfect, as she looks beautiful BUT also we see a jhalak of her endearing character, so that both her inner and outer beauty are showcased. I could also layer that with that scene from Kajra re too.

I too really liked how it turned out. It has motivated me to edit and amend many of those scenes from MJHT that I have imagined, or envisioned or wished to be scripted differently. Even if I do not make more vms, it has given me a means to create something special to me.

And then you show the past in colors while keeping the sad present in the gloomy hue of blue. Marvelous!!⭐️⭐️ The flashbacks used are their happiest times together and that intensifies their seperation as tragedy. The use of fanaa scene and the beads falling on the floor with matching music in the background, the VM here becomes very serious... highlighting their tragic story... How do you get past this? You dont. Sigh... I love you for this amazing piece... the lines make the VM very meaningful. 👏 These lines are paraphrased from a moment in Castle that I liked. Haan, that is the tragedy here, it is not unrequited love BUT love that is lost. Somehow it is so much more sadder.

Following those lines... Mayank standing in the rain...closes his eyes...and remembers beautiful memories of his married life... first night..sajda scene...anniversary scene.. all those blisssful moments of their married life... he soaks himself in those memories. Brilliant use of khuda jaane rain sequence combined with marriage scenes. It leaves the viewer with a heavy heart and tears in the eyes. That is BEAUTIFL Sabah.⭐️ I really wanted to add KJ scenes in the montage of happy memories, for they represent his dreams with her, so the whole segment is about his past memories with her BUT also that future that he had hoped for too.

Lastly, Nupur's twirl on the guitar's high note... Mayank soaking in the rain... trying to feel her back in his arms... trying to feel her close to his heart. She is gone long ago... reality strikes him... he comes down on his knees... beautifully done. And then sound of heavy rain...and him laying down drenching in that rain... drenching in her memories... Although I have lived my life alone, without you, I find myself lonely... These are my lines, I thought I should use something original. 😳You are genius Sabah. Awesome editing and presentation.👏

Dil se thanks for your heart felt comment. Although i truly believe that a vm shouldn't need explaining, as well as the fact that from the above, I am more than happy with the emotions it stirred in you, I am just going to paste below my intention for the theme of blue. With much love, your sister, Sabah
In the beginning, that flashback, where all is black and white, that moment he loses her, even after laying open his vulnerability, JUST like we feel at that moment in the aftermath of defeat, that ALL the colour has gone from our world. Yet that blue aura that becomes to bleed through, bleach our moods.

However this was my point, that our moods, just like colours were always present before too, just in different intensities. That one day we realize that we can not get over it or move on without a sentiment, without sadness or the colour blue, it is a part of our world, as it always was. True it is a little more vivid, more fierce, fervid but it it can not be separated from us. In this way we learn to carry it with us, and in this way we begin to heal.

That brightness of the colour in those scenes with Nupur are so beautiful because blue is present there too. We must learn to love openly even if vulnerably, so that our world is bright and colourful to THAT intensity EVEN at the risk, the cost of the loneliness that may befall us, for in truth what is the worth of one moment of happiness?

That was my silver lining. That last KJ moment, after those differentiating pictures,that slow, jagged jolt back to reality, accepting reality, IT IS not blue tinged, for that blue has merged back within his soul, merged back into his world, so that he now moves on WITH his memories, NOT in spite or despite them, BUT because of them.

Love u sis

Archana

omg! sabah, are you a hana yori dango fan? tats like my fav jap drama.

i love the tune, will watch this just because it has the TUNE and also some MN!! I am going to pm our ongoing discussion about HYD.

EDITED like finally!

firstly the thing which attracted me to your VM was the tune ahh obviously 😳 its intense, sad, and painfully romantic...made me curious...I loved those aspects too, it is sad and yet inspiring, so it makes you cry then smile.

The very first scene wrenches my heart, has a lump on my throat. the "matt jao" i always loved how arjun can modulate his voice to make his dialogues more impactful and the very next scene you show nupur walking away with dhruv while the beautiful BG starts, as mayank looks away from them and the you take it to the flashback, as lonely mayank sits there after he has lost everything, the painful tune highlights his pain even more...abt the boxing one, though i wud have preferred the other boxing seq of mayank, but then this one has surprisingly fit well and i guess, u used it because of the fall in the end...amazing none the less...I did want to use the other one because it is more intense, and then thought of using that scene where he is sitting on the bed contemplating, to edit in the clip from kajra re, but it seemed like too many clips which might be distracting. In the end I chose to use this one so that the segment flowed more fluently. I hoped that the music was add that missing depth of heart ache that is missing from the original scene, which I thought it did BUT a few people have complained and I am unsure whether it is because of the overall segment OR their memories of the scene. Nonetheless, it was an experiment and so I take full responsibility for any failure.

another poignant part was the beads shattering, rather him shattering, them shattering forever...Beautiful insight. In my initial storyboard, I had selected the scene for Nupur's running away from him, BUT when I edited in the scene the beads falling was so beautiful that I cut the beginning of the portion I had edited so that they became the middle sequence of that segment. It was intended but worked out beautifully well.

and in the last piano piece you show mayank standing alone in the rain, remencing the beautiful moments, the togetherness, the completeness, as he opens it its again empty and void, the memories, pierce him , pain him, but i guess it has become a part of him, he is living with it! I just could not help add a silver lining, even though the theme was tragedy. I am an optimist and so I wanted to leave him wounded but healing, than damaged.

beautiful VM sabah, thanks a lot, i loved it for mayank and the tune! Thanks, although it really isn't Mayank, just used his scenes to tell a tale that I hope has an inspiring end, of a soft heart that a strong soul shields and heals.

Thanks for watching and for your heartfelt comments. With love, Sabah

Reserving, so i remember to watch this ..:D

I'l watch when i get home, just came here simply... Nd thank god i came, or else i wouldn't hv knwn tht u make vm... Am so super excited!!!! Now I am nervous, it really isn't anything to get excite over, although in truth my goal is for movement of the heart. 😳
😆

Edited!

First of all Please Pardon me for being so late!
Finally am here :)
I dont know anything about the making of VM, and I am feeling a little nervous to comment, I liked it a lot and I dont know if I;ll be able to express it properly :) I am really not so good in commenting! Sweetheart, for me it is always about sincerity and honesty, that is where beauty lies with me, so you can appreciate my love for Mayank upon those qualities. There is something about Arjun's manner of acting too that just exudes sincerity whereby I find it so natural, that I can not help but become spellbound. Many times, I must remind myself, it isn't real. Regardless, I would end by saying that I have had many an inkling that now amount to a mountain of glittering granite, that I AM THE FOOL, that many scoff at for my attachment to characterizations. I mean at least those who are charmed by actors have an outside chance whereas I do not even have a gnat's hope of consequence.

To be in love with a delusion is tragedy, to be in love with your own imagination is insane but to be in love with another's imagined figment, is a whole new level of psychosis.

The theme was tragedy, and I must say Sabah Dii it was brilliantly portrayed by you in just 2.40 mins! It was complete!
The title is just perfect... Blue... which depicts all.
"Mat jaao" The start was just superb. The way you showed Mayank's journey is really brilliant. You showed it all - Love, hurt, Pain, anger...
I loved the lines in between where you said, A person learns to live with the past...
and also the last lines... ''Although I have lived my life alone, without you now , I find myself lonely"
These line says so much... It sums up the whole story... It really touched my heart!
I like to read tragic love stories, because you never forget them... they remain with you.
And this is one of the video which will remain with me :)

Your work is really brilliant. They way you have worked on every detail is luminous! Even the music selection...
I loved the musical tragic love story - Blue :) Dil se thanks for your kindness and appreciation BUT all credit should go to the composer of the piece of music, Yamashita Kousuke AND Arjun, as well as radiant Rati, for she was that treasure that he lost. Thanks for taking the time to watch, with much love, Sabah
