After watching yesterday's episodes, there were a slew of comments on youtube with fans complaining that the love scenes were 'too bold for television'. I thought this would be an interesting discussion. DMG has always had overtly romantic scenes from the beginning. Be it the Heer-Ranjha-almost-kiss scene, or Armaan coming to Ridhima's house drenched in rain. I've seen some fans say that the latest scenes are vulgar. While I REALLY enjoyed the Raath Ka Nasha sequences, I felt yesterday's scene was a bit out of character. Ridhima in a nightie taking off Armaan's shirt, and them almost kissing? Not something Ridhima would do. And same goes for all the other 'almost kiss' scenes. Is that really necessary? I mean, I'm not complaining, I know a lot of us enjoy it (and I do too), but love scenes can still be constructed beautifully without the characters always having to try to kiss eachother. Remember the terrace scenes pre-confession? I mean I wouldn't call them love scenes, but they were definetely romantic scenes. And AR's love, IMO, came off stronger than any of these touching-kissing scenes do. It's not Bollywood, it's television. We really haven't seen more than a hug between characters in other hindi serials. 😆
I don't think these scenes are bold, but perhaps a little too much for television? I'm glad that DMG shows a realism, in that the overwhelming of emotions between the two characters that love eachother, however, I still feel it to be a bit out of Ridhima's character.Or perhaps people only feel that way because there is a massive overload of overtly romantic AR scenes?
For those that will contest that the Jan 28, 2008 sequence was also out of character, I don't think it was. It was shot beautifully, no vulgarity, and both characters were clearly carried away in the midst of overwhelming emotions. Both realize that it was a mistake, and we're cut to a scene where Ridhima is crying and feeling guilty for what she did. Now we have Ridhima entering Armaan's room, taking his shirt off and almost kissing him.
Maybe someone should have warned me about yesterday's episode before I watched it with my parents. 😆
Again, I'm not complaining as I do enjoy these scenes quite a lot 😉 What do you guys think? Are the love scenes too bold for television?
Lets refrain from using the two S words :)
