Dream
"We need to create an exclusive scene between sahir and aarzoo...ek aisa scene..which kind of re-confirms the fact that sahir-aarzoo are eternally connected..they will be "humsafars" in life...lets get together and think of a scene where...u know we have a continuation of their connection with each other...rem the cup exchange scene? uski continuation karte hain...iss baar phir se cups exchange honge...aarzoo ko sahir ki coffee milegi...sahir ko aarzoo ki chai...and we'll show how aarzoo reacts to bitter black coffee by spitting it out...and we'll show how sahir actually takes a sip of the chai...phir we'll show how they both realise ki unke cups exchange ho gaye hain...dono ek doosre ki taraf dekhenge...then aarzoo phir se sorry wala puppy face banayegi...and sahir a sternish look..as if..phir se ghapla kiya...we'll end the scene with that awkward silent interaction...and add aarzoo thinking ki ye baar baar meri chai ki cup black coffeee wale cup se hee kyu badal jaati hai"
an assistant cv asks..but sir...sahir toh hamesha attitude wale cup ko use karta hai?...so the cv adds...oki..we can just add a shot...where the peon serves coffee to sahir in a normal mug by mistake.../and sahir kind of points out to it...but the peon apologies...things final...actors r called in...a beautiful significant scene is shot"
reality
"we need to create a filler scene of sahir and aarzoo...log unko dekhne ke liye hee baitthe hain...thoda sa dikha denge...toh chup ho jaayenge...ek kaam karo wo o sahir anam ka scene hai...usko continue karo...dikhao ki cup exchange ho gaya aur dono ne ek doosre ka jhootha piya...logo ko romantic angle lagega...chup rahenge do din...
but sir..sahir ka cup toh different hai naa? ...assistant asks...cv says...koi notice nahi karta...sabko sirf jhootha peena dekhne se matlab hai...
cv then adds...zyada kuch nahi dikhana...2 minute max limit hai...dikhana ki dono ne chai coffee pee aur muh banaya bass!"
this is exactly whats happening with humsafars😳
its said that creative ppl put their hearts in the things they produce...u need to fall in love with the thing itself before you can expect others to fall in love with it...isiliye its said...its not everybody's cup of tea to produce beauty on screen...
u need to dream...and u need to recreate that dream into reality on screen...u need to connect with the audience...and then using that connect...u need to weave both ur dreams and the audiene's dreams on screen
whatever was written in bold was something that should've been the whole idea and thought behind the scene yeaterday...or for a matter of fact...for all the scenes...
whats written in blue is whats actually happening in the show...and its sad!
its a rarity that a show gets a fresh lead pair who are accepted whole heartedly right from day one!...who's chemistry is something ppl can vouch right from day one...and they yearn for more of them
but what does the PH do?
instead of cashing on the chemistry...they conveniently forget the lead actor...and instead decide to develop the chemistry of the female lead with every other available person in the show😳
we have aarzoo hopping from one scene to the other...sharing screen space with everybody but sahir...and ifatall we do get a scene or two...it rushed...badly edited and badly shown on screen...
y r u guys using the split screen editing wen it revolves shots where the actors are moving or doing things ...any amateur would know that it just kills the effect of the full scene!
yesterday's shot...u could've increased the length by a few more seconds...shown both doing the same thing with the cup...with gradual merging...and then shown both their reactions separately...with them wondering abt it in the same frame...
is it that tough a job?
y did u guys not think abt the significance of the scenes which u show?
i agree this is india...ppl don't use much of their brains while having dinner and watching tv at 10:30...but they surely laugh wen u show such a thing and conclude" ye kya...chai ka cup bhi badla...aur dono ko ye bhi pata nahi chala ki ek doosre ka cup le liya hai!"
