Anu, hats off to your patience. But each frame has a new meaning to the feelings in Kesar and Gulaal that it is hard not to capture any.



LOL thanks guys...yeah the thing is there is SO much in every frame of this scene that you feel like capturing everything you can...that's why it took me a while to get through it...this scene has to be one of the most ethereal ones in this show...and that's saying something in a show which had such superb production values and cinematography.

Oh crap, she saw me...now I must look elsewhere <--- 😆 It amuses me so much, how conscious he gets (and she) with SO much distance between them, they could hardly catch the flickering of each others eyes, and yet, it seems like they do, every fluttering and unblinking second! LMAO so trueee! He was standing SO far away...yet they could so powerfully feel each other's gaze, haan?😆


The way he looks right away, then probably chides himself - reminds himself of the way he has coldly held her gaze and 'intimidated' her to avert her own before, makes himself look back - and establishes an epic fail attempt at 'cold' or 'intimidating - plays out so naturally! So many times, these days, he's upheld her eyes much longer than she has managed to sustain - but just this moment it comes to him like the hardest thing! I find it truly amazing how NB gets those tiniest nuances down so well...it's not a typical "I am going to look away awkwardly" bit...there are SO many expressions within that bit...and he gets all of them down bang on...amazing.



And sure enough, the moment he gets back to looking at her, Gulaal averts her gaze... This truly is the moment Gulaal can 'feel' that sight from Kesar, a man looking at a woman sight. She doesn't consciously or explicitly register it like that - but the instinct in her knows that look, that daze. Exactly and I love how that is shown so subtly without overtly stuffing it down our throats...the beauty is all in the way their expressions, their glances play out...you can see her subconscious female intuition sensing what she won't otherwise admit to being one of the reasons the awkwardness is so tangible here.





and then Kesar can't wait for her to ask or say anymore... he can't deal with the wait, nor let her be with the pain... his sheer vulnerability in her pain - the cliche chot wahan dard yahaan! Like you said Nur, he's going to figure by and by, that stepping back when the subject involves Gulaal, is not possible for him. In his own words - kuch yaad nahin rehte fir muje, apni haddein bhul jaata hu ☺️ *sigh* One of my all time fav. Kesar dialogues😍...and I love how you described the range of emotions he's battling against and can't help but lose out to...he can't sit back, he can't help himself...that cliche is so not a cliche on him...you can sense it tangibly in every fibre of his being...he is that attuned to her.




The interesting part is, if she was to ask him, he could neither explain his 'hate' nor his reason or need for 'timeout' from the hate! He wouldn't be able to explain, cause he doesn't know how its happening, why its happening! He knows why he ought to hate her, but he doesn't know why he can't. And he doesn't know why he still tries, he doesn't know why he keeps failing... and he has absolutely no idea why his feet moments ago were walking, shadowing her, of their own accord! LOL exactly...he himself doesn't know...this is instinct...pure instinct that he has no explanation for and has no power over...



And now the expression of his vulnerability in her pain - Nur, like you said, his heart is in his eyes, although he has no idea! Interestingly, it makes me think of Gulaal's dreamy reflection in the mirror when she held onto those imlis in a cherished way - about how she just had to look up and see her reflection to discover the shocking love!

Kesar is like that here, except on a more vulnerable and strained tangent - but if he could see his own face, meet his own eyes, he'd see the emotion so far and contrary to his plan! LOL if only we could...there are so many times I'd love to show Gulaal her expressions as well...like in that imli scene when she's smiling to herself...she'd be spooked big time😆


so even as he offers to help and she lets him, and even as the 'proximity' doesn't have her on a cliche hormone high (THANK GOD!) she keeps her reaction to bare minimum... her wariness around him is such! And what a contrast that is, to how easily she lost abandon despite 'knowing of his presence on the scene' even if she was unaware of his 'stalking'. I can't even tell you how thankful I am that this wasn't made into a lame hormonal overload scene...honestly I keep repeating myself but the words that come to my mind when I watch this scene are pure...divine...subtle undercurrents yet still so powerful.


And oh I LOVE this shot. There's something so intimate... so hum aur tum aur bas ye samaafeel about it! Like being dwarfed in the grand scheme of things - succumbing to the universal conspiracy that has brought them to each other... There's so much one can guess about these two from this still - friends, strangers, becoming friends, unknowing lovers, tentative strangers destined to be... ! Its like Kesar is in conversation, and Gulaal is just sitting there, listening to him, like time will wait for them to be done! WORD! I love this shot too...for the very same reasons...it's a lovely shot of them sitting together as if in their own world in the middle of this beautiful, serene place.

30th sept : of Nostalgia and desires:

Hello everyone ,

the Aam bagicha - What a magical scene , I have enjoyed it again , thanks to you and since I missed the discussion online , cant ramble all I want to and on every point , but this scene is a treasure house of Gk moments !

(and "Cupid conspires a chance" the title makes the scene more beautiful )

The beginning When Kesar walks into the orchard behind them was oh so beautiful– With Gulaal taking in the fresh air and bagicha and Kesar – taking in "her' ... 😍

And later ,ofcourse, the "piyu mhari" that none can forget – a mesmerized Kesar who made many hearts miss more than a beat– and on catching his glance , Gulaal's clear registering, albeit unconsciously , of his attentions as a man… was somewhat like the terrace scene , where they were caught off guard in the moment – caught in what lay between them , no matter how unaware they were of it !

By the way , I don't know if you all discussed it - some amazing camera work when piyu mahari alaap started playing with Kesar standing against the trees – notice how the trees seem to move away and kesar seems to move closer –almost like two superimposed images- very amazing – it looked magical

love,

VJ
