And I totally know what you mean about getting engrossed in listening to the professor in the IV....haha even I had to force myself to take breaks in between even though I'd get so pulled in to listening to all of them.....lol@ kavi sammelan feel....so true....lol I guess cuz it's a truly intellectual crowd talking rather than the usual vapid bunch of media people and stars who give rehearsed answers to promote their movies.
Oh and since you are here, I will bore you with my regular review of the latest Swastik production - the Ramayan on Sony
So I checked out the first week of epis today and they've used the same Mahadev from RK
....who currently plays Indra in Shiv Shakti.....and they've set it up as Mahadev narrating Ram katha to Parvati.
What differentiates this from the recent version of Ramayan that aired on SP - they've given more detail to Dashrath ki back story - how he got the name Dashrath, the fact that he was friends with Jataayu before Ram was even born (I didn't know this....lol), Raavan ki whole backstory from how he took over Lanka from Kuber....first time I saw a show showing Raavan's parents - his rishi father and rakshasi mom....they've set up the motives for why Raavan is the way he is pretty clearly rather than caricaturizing him as they did in the SP show. Also Nikitin Dheer is pretty perfect casting as Raavan
.....also lol@ that Aryan ki mummy being Raavan ki mom in this....I could imagine Fary throwing a fit if she saw her
They've even take some time to establish the dynamic between Raavan and his siblings....Kumbhkaran ki backstory about why he sleeps half the year
, Vibhishan the eternal coward who struggles between love for his brother and wanting to do the honorable thing and ofcourse Srupnakha.
The soundtrack is decent so far....nothing as intense as other recent Swastik soundtracks and the SP Ramayan deffo had better songs....but this is decent so far and has the narrative unfolding decently.
