Cheeku, this is such an excellent write up. Really.
Thanks❤️
As you know, I am a very recent entrant in the forum, and started seriously following the updates recently. But I first got hooked to the serial once I somehow saw an insta clip of the "I'm your family" dialogue of Virat.
I was shell-shocked at the emotional power he was able to convey, and even more, by the sheer rawness I saw in the girl who was opposite him. That is only word I could come up with, "Raw". This was no polished actress, delivering lines, whatever she was saying seemed straight from the heart.
Neil is phenomenal. No doubt about that in anyone's mind, I guess. Yup. Raw, it reminds me of something entirely different. Have you seen Susan Boyle's audition in got talent. Raw. And many years later, when you see her on that same stage, she comes off as polished. Polished has its qualities. Raw evokes emotions in you that no polish performance can. Raw is straight from the heart, as you said. Polished gets experience and techniques involved.
I didn't know the details of the actor either, except that I had seen him around, couldn't remember, since the last serial I watched was way back in 2012, IPKKND. Period. Haven't watched anything on ITV since then. And now, this made me look around, saw that I had seen clips of him from a few other serials, and a movie I saw a little of on youtube with subtitles...
I have liked him since JIKMWRKM days😆loved him in Gulaal and DABH the most.
But the sheer power of that scene made me go watch clips, then moved to watching episodes here and there. And what I saw, was pure magic.
A man and his eyes... a calm Male lead, and a firebrand girl, who gives back double of what she gets, no doormat-ness, no feet-licking gratitude, no worshipping the patidev.
Eyes girl. Eyes. It's all in the eyes, right😳
Bold: nailed it.
A slip of a girl, going toe-to-toe against an IPS officer and a gang of familial goons! The rawness remained, and things that I found weird, like voice modulation and pitching, grew on me... it became the identity of a 19 year old girl... and realised hiw perfect it was! A teenagerr is awkward, unsure, raw... and what I saw as inexperience, suddenly became the perfect rendition of a role, which could have gone very bad if in the hands of an older actress, a more experienced actress.
I respect your opinion. But for me, it still is inexperience😆 her voice modulation in zillat scenes exhibited lack of acting skills.
The perfect match. Neil exudes Calm, and Ayesha, onscreen, pumps out energy, no matter how sweet and laid-back she comes across in interviews. The innocence is real, the goodness of both is real, else it wouldn't translate on screen... the ego would come out in the eyes.
Can't comment on off screen. Because I haven't seen off screen😆
And so, I'm in deep.
Now, the dance. The man is incredible, we know, we expect much, and he delivers. Impressive, that.
I am a classical dancer, and am someone petrified of contemporary - all the leaps and gymnastics required. In spite of being trained, if you told me to dance against this man, I would curl up and die. But the girl, the sheer guts it would have taken, i can feel it in my bones.
Appu is a classical dancer. Do you have a YouTube channel where I can watch you perform😳i agree with you on Ayesha's guts❤️
She has come a long way, see it in the voice modulation, the way she carries herself, the ease of emoting, in her eyes... but still the fire, the rawness, the freshness, the naivety, the innocence, the lack of worldliness,... that Sai is... is still there!
The complete opposite of what Virat is!
Totally agree. I have seen her get better and better and better❤️
Truly, they have hit jackpot with the casting!
Yup. Perfect 👌
