Su-Dopaher! 😛
Coming to your broken tape-recorder, even I'll repeat - I am really feeling great that I got you hooked to this particular show.
About watching twice, I guess you wouldn't have to go through twice if you could understand the language or they had provided subtitle. But yes, even I had to repeat because I was watching the scene on loop and noticing how with each of the dialogue, there was subtle change in their expression.
Even I love watching POV. 🤗 🤗 🤗 I guess it's because you can never completely understand why a person does something in particular situation. When they express themselves, a lot of hidden emotion surface and it amazes you. Like in Grey's when Amelia told Maggie about the question regarding the paternity and broke down completely, 75% of things we viewers had analyzed before and stated them to justify her stand in different medias. But the remaining 25% gave the scene and her situation a whole new dimension. 👏 👏 👏
About Shayan's POV, yes, his clarity was the first thing that made me fall in love with his character. Now, I know, some traditional viewer might feel offended even call him characterless as he specifically said - Mujhe Apne Aap Pe Bharosa Nahi Hain. Issi Liye Darr Ta Hoon Ki Tumhe Batau Ya Nahin?
But this was much needed. He wasn't even in love at that point. He said that he liked her but Othoi's warning made him worried and in no way he wanted to hurt a woman who was already miserable.
As far as Janam Janam Ka Saath is concerned, let's not disrespect it. But even that is not universal. Because how you are dealing with a situation it depends on a lot of things. We can't deny that teenagers are comparatively emotional and love that blossoms in that age, tends to be too deep. Nazifa met Mitul when she was 18 only and they got married soon. If I go by the show's narration, Mitul died probably when she was 20. So the deep love consumed her and even after 8 years she was stuck at that point. Whereas Shayan is a 28 years old guy who have spent a considerable amount of time in abroad and is used to living a carefree life. So their approach or how they'll cope up, it'll be completely different.
In fact, it was after Nazifa's confession in the dinner that his monologue played out - Until now, I only loved you. But now I am madly in love with you and I'll wait for you till my last breath.
You can't help but feel a certain amount of fascination regarding the person he couldn't get just made him more attracted to Nazifa as we all tend to get excited by things/people that/whom we can't have in our life.
So basically it was wonderful that they focused on his surrounding and lifestyle as well. 👏 👏 👏
The writer indeed has the knack of including light scenes/dialogues in between a serious scene and that too without it looking out of place/context. In fact, most of Othoi's scene has this slight transition like she is talking funny and suddenly there will be one dialogue and her expression and way of talking would change completely.
Like in her introductory scene, she was really happy that she got admission and she was bragging about it to Ariana when the later said she would become an astronaut and go to space so that she could find her father. So there Othoi had this instant reaction that - Was this the reason you were looking at the sky? To find your dad? and then again she changed the topic within moments saying may be your dad knew magic. That's why he could go there without any spaceship and took the kid to have sweets.
Yes, even I feel no one could play Shayan and Nazifa better than Tanvir and Prova. And I said it earlier too, according to me, this was Tanvir's best shot in the series so far. 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼
