LOL the build up with that chunar/odhni was next level.....first, Kesar gifting it to Gulaal but Gulaal putting it away in her closet, seemingly forgotten for a bit....then it unexpectedly resurfaces just in time for the Vat Savitri pooja....Talli finds it on her own and puts it on....leaving Gulaal with little choice but to indulge her even though she can very well guess what Kesar's reaction will be, still she goes along with Talli
.....for an otherwise such a courageous woman, Gulaal was quite a coward on many issues with Kesar around that phase - I guess the stakes were very high na....lol
Gulaal ka dabba gul kar diya tha Kesar ne in the entire track😆 Gulaal was on a one track mission of getting Talli- Kesar married, but Kesar put a big spanner in her carefully built plan😆
And what a day Talli picked to wear the chunar.....a Kesar who was on the verge of leaving town in anger, decides to return when he learns from Dushyant that Gulaal kept the vrat for him.....just as he shares a softer moment with Gulaal, feeling happy that she has shown care for him in some way, that's when fate has him lay eyes on TALLI wearing the very dupatta that he lovingly brought for Gulaal....and so the volcano explodes
. I love this scene for the way it's all been shot with the bonfire in the backdrop....so symbolic of the fire raging inside Kesar....and then the shots of him sitting all night next to the bonfire waiting for Gulaal to show up for the taalaab confrontation.....I just love those shots....I've used them in so many
He was so happy that Gulaal did a vrat for him that even when Talli specifically asked to look at her he just kept smiling without noticing her at all. Talli had to specifically draw his attention towards the chunnar and it just took a split second to turn a very happy Kesar into raging anger. It is only fitting that the chunnar was finally burnt in a bonfire too.
Gulaal could have told him more even without getting into the details of what Dushyant did....but she continued to keep things so vague and generic that Kesar couldn't stand it.....it's again part of how she treats him like a kid....this is how adults treat kids - ki you aren't capable of understanding nuances and details, so here's a generic explanation, be happy with that
.
I guess both of them were having such heated arguments, Gulaal was already stressed about too many things going wrong at the same time. I just feel whatever way she answered there was a fear of things getting absolutely out of her control.
And then, Gulaal lost her temper on feeling cornered so she lashed out defensively at Kesar using Vasant as a shield.....lol is sab mein Vasant ka kya connection tha that she suddenly swung to saying only Vasant has a right on her? Yes, Kesar's insinuation about her and Dushyant was insulting and the slap was well deserved....but everything she said after that using Vasant as a shield once again showed a Gulaal unable to deal with Kesar's emotions.....she could sense where Kesar's questions were really coming from and she started to feel defensive as a woman who can sense a man's feelings for her....that is why Vasant's name was the instant shield she used....cuz otherwise there were better ways of retorting to Kesar's questions without dragging Vasant in. This became standard Gulaal modus operandi to push Kesar away cuz she couldn't deal with his feelings for her
.
Vasant was definitely a shield she used to deter Kesar from further questioning . But just that one insinuation gave Gulaal a chance to be completely defensive and chose not to answer his questions.
LOL he will repeat that "Haina, Gulaal" throughout the entire Kesar-Talli shaadi track
.....har cheez dikhaa dikhaa ke bolega and karega Gulaal ko
.
I loved Kesar in this track, Gulaal ki sitti beeti gum kar di hai🤣 I am so loving his haina Gulaal 😆 Gulaal is using emotional blackmailing so unfairly , I feel for Kesar :(
There's a bit during the sangeet/garba when Kesar goes "Nachoooo"
.....that was such a popular meme/inside joke in the forum in that phase.
That was awesome 🤣 He tells Gulaal he will fulfill his promise, he will make sure Talli is never happy and she will have to watch everything unfolding in front of her eyes. After that he goes NACHO🤣
This and Kesar ka "Chhee" reaction when Gulaal accused him of harboring "Paap ki bhaavna" for her
Yet to watch this one😆
