hi aimf,good to see you again
Two things that stand out in your excellent take are:
1. Vip being clad in white, as an emblem of entering the world of widowhood, stark and serene. In a way, it is also a strangely transgendered moment, when Vip puts the sari pallu over his head. In a way, he is trying hard to fit in, even giving up his gender privileges. This scene of Vip in white also reminds me of how white paint drenched him completely in the market place when he was in search of Dhani to apologise to her. Perhaps the paint scene was strangely prophetic of the current track.
bravooo🤣 i think i was too busy lok at his hairy chest that i forgot his heshe side.. mind you i better stop .. its not politicaly correct.. discrimination .. mind you the scene was included to add a funny touch and it did without being offensive.. yes i recall the white paint spillage on his head.
2. Your comment on the turning tables, with Dhani trying to "disrobe" Vip is very apt and well stated. Great job. However, it is the comic version of what happened to Dhani. Vip is trying to make up for the Draupadi act in the market place, where Kanak, as Dushhasana (from Mahabharata) tries to disrobe Dhani in public. In the Mahabharata, Lord Krishna saves Draupadi, and shames the Kauravas. Vip here is very reminiscent of Lord Krishna, the protector, who is tricky and naughty. Vip is like Krishna with his antics, his gender-bending tactics, his quick wit and naughtiness, and his joyous sporting with the swooning widows, reminiscent of Krishna's milk-maids.
thanks for this important faith links.. adds more depth to his character..
Very excellent take. Take care, and be well.
