Yesterday, the forum was in a furor (and we can still read and hear the echoes). And no one was spared, be it Sanaya, Ashish, Gautam Hegde and I hear even Ananyaji was caught up in the whirl wind of criticism (100 tornadoes hitting the US not being enough!)
Today's episode proved plenty for plenty, but what it basically proves is...its all in the script! Time and again I have heard great actors mention this fact, that the hero is always the script. The story has to be strong, and if it is not well penned, nothing can redeem it. No superlative actors, no fantastic music scores, no subtle direction...nothing, nothing will work if the writing is not powerful. At the end of the day, its basically a boy meets girl story. What's new?? Its the way the story is being told!!
Today, if we look objectively, nothing much happened. We all knew what was coming, it was predictable and so should have been boring and should have led to more criticisms and restlessness. Yet, today we are fine with what was shown...why?? Cause what was written made sense. Cause characters were given breathing space. They were given time to justify their thoughts and actions. What happened was natural, and very much real, the characters all being in sync.
The moral of the story, the pen is the mightiest here. Its all in the way the story is written. A good story always ensures a good audience. Next time we find things unacceptable, we have to keep in mind that its not the actors that are responsible, not Rudra or Paro that are acting ridiculous, cause at the end of the day they are just doing their jobs to the best of their abilities, mouthing dialogues or doing actions that are part of the script. Sometimes when things go horribly wrong, we have to dig deeper and keep in mind that the problem might have started behind the camera, and is not in front of the lens.
