Such a beautiful topic Saru <3 I agree totally, the TF was amazing, beautiful, simple and in short a very perfect story, shown in the best way possible. The highlight of this Telefilm for me has to be how close it was to reality. Even though like you said, I believe more with the fairy tale version of a story, I liked the tinge of reality.
The best about the TF was
- The relation of both the leads with their kids, it was endearing, touching and adorable. If I had to choose one from the two, I would pick the relation between Raghu and Aaku, because they were more of friends, or like they said 'partners' and there was nothing hidden between the two. The simple quality of Raghu to become a kid with his kid, touched me.
- Moments when Raghu went out of his way to please his baby was adorable, made his character what it is for me. Buying a car to drop her to the boarding school, letting her get away with spilling something on him, racing another car just to bring a smile on her face.
- The moments on their drive to the school were amazing, and serene. It showed a journey of people who are on crossroads with life, but have gotten a chance to enjoy happiness and freedom, and life the way they want to, 'pehli baar' and the song reciprocated the same feeling. The song was beautifully shot, showing glimpses of the 4 getting closer.
- Loved how both the characters Raghu and Simran changed for the better, Raghu grew more confident about himself. Having heard just low about himself, he had developed a complex regarding himself, but that one gesture of Simran changed him. Same goes for Simran, she was stubborn, spoilt and strict, not wanting to find happiness for herself, but Raghu taught her how to find happiness in the smallest of moments in life.
- Though I was totally eager to see Raghu get the custody, the fact that the opposite happened, kept the logic intact.
- Lastly the ending was beautiful, not an over the top dramatic milan, but just ended on a happy note, when the two share an umbrella, signifying lending of support and courage to the other, and want to give life another chance, with each other, 'PEHLI BAAR' ' First time ka pehli baar'
The simplicity of the Telefilm and the innocence which reflected through every moment in it was what stood out for me all through.
The kids were amazing, and so was the pairing between Anita and KSG, both brilliant actors and together they were way more perfect than I had imagined.
ALSO this was our KSG's comeback, and OMG KSG :| we can never get enough of you, HOPING he comes back to a daily ASAP, because the answer lies in the TF itself. Seeing him emote, made you feel the same that the character did, which is something ONLY KSG can do. Loved him all through. He was brilliant.
