yesterday's episode gave me a thought... DMG has come a full circle, and this i am saying, in a not a not so positive way...
earlier, they would focus on the story... the fact that perhaps Ridddhima was sad, and Armaan would feel guilty about it, he would go apologise, and Riddhima would react accordingly and it would take the story forward... after all thats what made AR popular and people started appreciating KASH... so much so that... now....
scenes, are not written for AR .... but they are written for KASH...
why? same scene, yesterdays treatment...
Armaan pisses of the lady, she goes to the fire escape and is sad... what is concentrated now on.. is no longer the emotion that she is sad, but her flying hair, the angle in which is she sitting, and a few other angle shots, all of which very picturesquely shot no doubt... but, somehow distract the viewer and make him wonder... are we admiring her beauty, or are we actually supposed to feel for her... and then, enters Armaan.. again, very smartly, shot...
yesterdays ArSh, though, was a wonderful scene, which had so many memories revisited, two of the favorites, in the fire-escape, sad, senti mood, where everything is just about perfect for things to move ahead... the makers focussed more on how both the leads looked, and somehow seemed to be experimenting with various angles from where the couple would look nice...!! for me atleast, that was the feeling that came into my mind...
Similarly, when they show the Sid n Riddhima scenes, with Sid trying to cook in the kitchen, mess up, Riddhima dressing up in front of the mirror, remembering all those moments with Sid, i was like, does this woman ever do anything else at all? the same look, the same expressions... for Sid, it is the cuteless they wanna show... and Riddhima, her stuck upness... all of which is sugar coated with loads of sugar coated close ups... and intimate moments...
and thats when, it struck me... now, they dont write scene any longer for the story, they write now to cater to the popularity of the actors and the makers are now just busy showcasing the beauty between the couple!!!
i do not know if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
cos i for one, dont watch a show, just because it has good looking people, once it is established they are great lookers, i obviously want more! and that more, for now is missing on DMG...
i sincerely hope they stop throwing in scenes on our face just for the heck of it....
