Fireflies kiss v/s Rain kiss comparison post (inevitable hai yeh toh😛😆)Background: Manik looked much better in the white shirt in the rain kiss than the blue blazer in the first one... Similar white flashes used in editing for both kisses😆
Round 1: Build up: Fireflies kiss wins hands down...from the way they are watching each other to the way Manik's hands come up to frame her face...rain kiss "build" up was brief bit of heavy breathing😆

Round 2: The actual kiss(es):
Fireflies kiss: Their faces were more visible even as they switched angles, the transitions flowed better despite the blinding white flashes, extra brownie points for the nose brush as Manik switched his head to the other side and he managed to get two kisses in after switching...as in it lingered on longer.
V/S
Rain kiss: A bit clumsy in the build up despite similar pattern being followed as fireflies kiss, got super intense towards the end when Manik switched his head to the other side...but unlike fireflies kiss, it cut short at that point😆

Points: Subjective😆
Round 3: Aftermath
Fireflies kiss gave equal footage to both their expressions in the immediate aftermath letting that feeling soak in
Rain kiss only showed Manik's expression in the immediate aftermath and then Nandu got super giddy and started running as usual😆
My verdict: Fireflies kiss wins😆 cuz it had all three boxes checked...to quote Rafi, ek kiss mein jhaadu maara jaa raha tha aur dusri mein vaccum cleaner...now everyone else can decide what works better for them😆
P.S. Watching them side by side, I'm struck by how different and not so different they look 150 epis later😆...Nandu is practically wearing almost ditto the same type of white kurti from the first kiss😆...
