I was debating forever over which letter to go with - because really, all his letters have been some version of "bayaan" or the other of his "bebasi" - and I personally REALLY wanted to use the letter for her birthday with the bangles scene - but didn't use it in the end, cause I'd give an outright blunt and brash edge to Kesar's pre-reform depiction in the vid...Oh totally...bebasi ka bayaan...the story of my helplessness...it is SO those letters...his entire LIFE is those letters...and that letter scene when he's basically bawling in front of those letters, clutching them to his chest and admitting to himself that he is terrified of knowing the answers to the questions burning him up inside...yeah your vid was going for a different overall interpretation so maybe it wouldn't have fit in there...I toh got stuck on the letters onlyđ
btw - I forgot to mention this on the vid, I also SUPER loved the scene you used of Kesar crushing the letter for the "hasrat nichod du" line - in my head I'd always thought of the scene I used as perfect - the line just reminded me of it! - but when I was watching yours I realized just how perfect that letter scene is as well ... which is where we all agree this song is deserving of several VM versions! Everyone will have some unique takes on the lines and scenes in sync! Oh yeah I love the scene you used too...evil Kesar and the MENACING look on his face there that gives you chills...I was in a bit of dilemna over what scene to use until I came across this portion of the letter scene and in all honesty I primarily used it cuz he was LITERALLY nichod-ing the letterđ...so I was like aha! this fits!đ...jokes apart, I loved the emotion in his eyes as he crushes the letter there...the emotions that are always overwhelming him.
I think to date I haven't been able to use the pareshani scene well in any scene...it frustrates me...I think cuz the DIALOGUES in that scene are a huge part of it's genius and they can't be incorporated into a VM usually. I also wanted to use the "Varna kya" Gulaal confrontation ke scenes par woh fit nahin huye...lol
^^ True, true! I once had the far fetched idea of ripping the "audio" of the pareshani scene - like the dialogue and its BG tunes - and making a video with my own mix of GK scenes âşď¸ because no song fits them ENTIRELY, even yet! Like the one I did on that ZNMD verse? I was thinking of doing that one the Pareshani scene dialogues once - but never got around to it! The writing of this show has always been its one by itself singular feat - amidst all other great things about it... Oooh you should totally make this, Jzee! It would be AWESOME! Your ZNMD one waise bhi is among my all time favs! I think you do dialogue VMs really well!
I really think half of that thought comes from making a 3rd version. You've got 2 fresh in your head and its so hard to put aside those scenes already there, and spin off another version - and I'm not being nice to you, you should know that! đ I really think having a go at a done song is harder than a fresh take - if I'd remembered Mini's I'd probably have shied away from trying! and I stil stick to the bits I really liked in the last verse you tried. The sulagana to the high tempo bebasi was fantastic! đ LOL thanks again yaar! đ¤ Chalo it was a satisfying attempt...I made a GK one after ages and now I'm all haunted by these scenes again. I'm so behind on making sigs I wanted to *sigh* Hopefully soon.
