SOULFUL REUNION
Kesar is unable to grasp her reaction of having missed him even for those few minutes. He asks her indirectly how she would feel when he goes away forever. He was genuinely surprised when Gulaal puts her hand over his mouth because this proximity coming from Gulaal was new to him. Yet he carefully continues to tell her that closing his mouth now is not going to help, he would anyway have to leave. He is firm if not yesterday, he can still leave today. He says "jaana toh padega hi". Kesar is not getting carried away by her tears. He is firm on his decision that he would leave the village because he does not have any more reason to stay. I wonder why this Motaba failed to deliver his letter to her.
Gulaal chokes on her words while asking "Jaana zaroori hai kya?" There was hope in his eyes when she asked him that. She is hoping he would say NO. Kesar is smart, he directs it at her saying he is going unwillingly and she is sending him away. Indirectly he hints at her that her refusal to be part of his life or how Kesar prefers to say, by not making him part of her life, she is forcing him to take this decision.
Gulaal retorts saying he did not consult her before deciding. There was a childlike innocence when he said "Puchta hoon toh", and when he said 'kahan seedha jawab deti hai", there was innocence, a little tantrum mode, little disappointment, all put together. It is hard to put in words to describe the emotions played by Neil in this one sentence that he spoke. He was complaining to her about her when he tried to explain "dekho na!!, ab bhi ghuma phira ke baat kar rahi ho"
Gulaal was so taken over by emotions that she tells in a hushed voice "Mat jaana Kesar". His eyes seek further reassurance seeing the honesty in her eyes. The minute Gulaal says "tere bina ab rehne ki aadat nahi hai Kesar", Kesar's tear filled eyes portrayed absolute disbelief trying to fathom her feelings, trying to gather the inner meaning of what she confessed through those words. That was a perfect timing for his tears to fall down when she reached him for a hug. Gulaal had totally surrendered herself to his love and Kesar was still in a state where he could not believe his own ears and he had almost held his breath in that moment. Realization hit him that his Gulaal had confessed her love in not many words. This was Gulaal who had lived alone in solitude. Today she confesses that she is not in the habit of living in his absence. These words coming from her carry so much meaning than if she had said "mei bhi tumse pyaar karti hoon"
He realizes what she just said in many different words that she loves him. I guess he just realized it and he was back to his senses, his slow and heavy breathing showed his anxiety and accelerated pulse over the fact that he has Gulaal in his life forever. There was contentment and a relief on his face having heard that from her that he finally embraced her and hugged her close to him. Neil's expression was purely awesome showing shock, disbelief, realization, relief, contentment as if his life had a new meaning suddenly, and as though he was wanting to freeze this moment in time.
When she hugs him saying never ever to let her go away from his life, his expression changes to sheer happiness, he has this spark in his eyes and assures her with tears and a smile that he would never even if she tells him. It was like telling her that he would never allow himself to lose her again at any cost, however compelling the situation may be.
After this Kesar and Gulaal hug each other as if they are holding on to their life. Gulaal eases herself to move closer to him and smiles through her tears while Kesar places his hand so tenderly on her back, so securely as if he is holding onto a precious jewel, more precious than his own life. That tenderness in that hug speaks the language of love, so pure and unadulterated. His expression is that of sheer bliss having Gulaal in his life or being part of her life.
Without speaking much to each other, even in the accusations against each other of letting go of each other, this was a perfect union of two souls that have long been deprived all the goodness in life. The tears, the smiles and the hug spoke volumes.
FAMILY REUNION
In this Garba sequence,Kesar has all eyes for Gulaal. There is so much warmth in his eyes with love oozing out from his eyes. His excitement and happiness translates into the high energy dance with Gulaal as well as in the dhol playing scene.
