Indi Di wonderful VM.. I loved the inter mixing of black and white in the narration.. There is one scene you use where she open her hair and then semi turns back.. The very next pigeons fly out into the open skies.. It is Arnav, is it Khushi or is it us soaring high..limitless.. Unbound.. Reminds me of Jonathan Livingston seagull.. And really the show makes us try so my new things and remind us of so many old things.. Lovely..

As always both actors look quite different in this first episode, but how unimaginably stunning..

And did you say youare writing your take on episode 1? Me lining up for first day first show front row seats pileez..

rhea,

did you say jonathan livingston seagull. 😃 i thought of him again and again... soaring, reaching that place where you have to do nothing, just spread your wings and cruise.

uh huh, they are both masakali in a way and so is ipk... i am shallow and enjoyed the lusty yay yay coming on the man taking off his shades. most of the song just fell into pace on its own... the feel. the pauses, the rise of music, even that badal ki colony. honestly, zero work on the sound side i did...

you like the black and whites and the interspersing of eyes closing opening? oh the basic shots are so strong, see them just like that again an again, raw, no touchuppiya, they get you. that falling into his arms, honestly as momentous as anything i have ever seen in the man woman category, more than most, famous man woman shots flash through the mind... it's classic and beyond.

ha, this i guess was my oneirical take on something that is a dream and sheer poetry anyway...

yes, i must write one... it's calling me. 😆 you do know phroid ji visits us these days, you talk like that too much and he will have big problem dealing with a masakaali matakali ego udoing and inflating. 😳

thanks so much for saying all you do, and watching my kabootar ishtory.

Richard Bach, its been quite a while since I read that. Memory has faded.

Masakali , in the context of the movie, wasn't the song about a girl who wanted to spread her wings and fly, soar. But her wings are clipped by family, convention, norm, the usual...

Ha, that first fall into his arms. Was watching 22 & 23 yesterday (after reading your takes for the umpteenth time, of course). That brooding stance in the office and La comes and says how bad her photos look. But in his mind he sees otherwise. La makes a move (😡 found it difficult to watch) and he, did he want to remove the image of the girl from his head? And the anger when she comes in, felt so bad for that nave young girl. That look of remorse on his face when she leaves, was it one of the first times when her tears affect him?

You mentioned a song from rock star in an earlier post. Couple of lines from another song from that movie has stayed with me from the first listen. 'Jo bhi main, kehena chahoon, barbaad karey alfaaz mere'. In the voice of Mohit C of course, the way he says words, its as if he enjoys the feel and texture of them.

This is fun😆!

Can I send you song requests for vms?!!!!

p.s: phroidji wouldn't need to go any where else, or see anyone else, enough egos and alter egos on these threads!!!!!

Indi di what you say about the first meeting entirely true.. You can not fail to notice the stillness coming alive in those dark haunted eyes. And she tempting, trembling, hypnotized in his arms. Yet yes he did walk away. He had the restrain and detachment in those initial days. It was she who literally ran after him. Impulsive sanaka, yet feeling everything. This itself was legendary , but IPK managed to make what followed also unforgettable.

How slowly but surely their lives get entwined. How they find out the differences. A la Pride and Prejudice. She is not just some random irritating oversmart gold digging middle class girl. Instead she takes your breadth away in red. Is smart enough to handle everything you throw at her. At her most vulnerable she can lash out as a vicious tigress and yet you want to reach out and touch her. And she is just like you.. an orphan.

And he is not all hard hearted, cold blooded, impenetrable. He can be caring towards his di. He can be extra tender towards an unknown small lost sad baby girl. He somehow makes you feel safe. His eyes linger over you and you feel yourself not revolted , but blushing instead. And when he laughs you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Nothing forced or not probable at all. How beautiful and real this journey of discovering each other was. The fire of anger, clashes of ideologies, mad ajeebness of Khushi and Arnav together, carefree chirpiness and brooding angst. Add rabba ve and all the other musical components, two gorgeous fabulous actors who redefined chemistry and the viewer just had to believe in their love story.

Rhea, how beautifully you encapsulated the whole thing. Yes, he was detached in the beginning. Too much else happening I guess, with the return to Sheesh mahal, the meeting with chachaji...must have shaken his moorings a bit. And she, got her moorings shaken too, from a safe predictable state of being, suddenly being blamed for her sis's wedding being called off, a meeting with a stranger, unlike any and who behaved unlike any you have met in your life.

Their journey indeed was a delight to watch. I discovered the show in may last year, quite accidentally. Had a marathon binge watching session. It was around episode 100, when that hospital hug happens that I felt this was not your regular stuff. 124, I knew this was special!

Yes, two extremely good looking people and fabulous actors too, but what they had is much beyond that. You don't see this with any two good looking people.

Its your turn to make a vm now! Let me get that song list ready!😆
