I do understand that every phase of this show requires something different in terms of song choices...
But 'tis the season for HOPE TREES after all so here goes my hope and small wish:
Two songs I REALLY want to see back on MaNan scenes:
1) Jeena Jeena
2) Jaise mera tu
Jeena Jeena because well...it gave me possibly THE most poignant phase in the MaNan story all starting with this gem of a scene
And beyond that, ANY time it played...sad or happy scene...it just made you CONNECT with these two on a whole another level
Another fav being this moment when this song accompanied the simple gesture of her placing her hand on his heart and giving him strength as usual
And then there is Jaise Mera tu...I'm not sure if the creatives of this show are AWARE of the level to which this song elevated the poignancy b/w MaNan in that phase...these visuals kinda sum it up for me...the expressions and the picture these two make in a frame:
And the EARNESTNESS with which Manik sings it to her...the words take on a life of their own beyond whatever the original song was/is
I find this song special also cuz this is the one song they sorta COMPOSED together...the lyrics coming from the pages of Nandu's diary...Manik strumming his guitar, encouraging her to give voice to her poetry and then completing the song along with her...it's one of my absolute fav. Manan sights
So umm yeah...while I understand that the show is in a different phase Manan-wise right now, I would love to see these songs being brought back cuz they elevate MaNan like few songs rarely do...these songs have BECOME MaNan more than any other songs used on them IMO.
