Token of love
This scene speaks of family well being. It celebrates the inclusion of one's entire family in what is termed as an arranged marriage. As luck, which clearly sides the groom and his not yet bride, would have it, there are some lovely as per usual silent messaging between them. Dutta amidst the ladies affair of selecting jewellery is without a doubt the centre of attention. His incongruous presence in this scene not only prompts raised eyes and teases out tongue in cheek amusement. Dutta despite his stiff and nonchalant exterior cannot resist the subtle pull of being the butt of the spectators humor. One has to admire Dutta's willingness to select and attempt to grace his beloved's ankle with an ornament that is clearly not meant to be what he judged it to be. But preceding the action one can clearly observe by his expression, that Dutta is not one to be cowed down if challenges are posed before him .. or that he is a dutiful son who honors his mother's request. I actually thought he wanted to make a declaration of love to Naku , even if it meant doing it the worldly way of presenting her a toofah before every one.. .He probably secretly thanked his stars that such a situation arose, as to such delicate matters a tough cookie like him seemed unaware.. so shall we say the family was behind him on this one..

The payal scene has been requested by Dilse.. so this one is for you.. dilse.
This has to be one of Dutta's boldest sides.. the daring flirtatious side, his grabbing her wrist as if to make know ummh hang on a minute baaby, his whole body language including his daring proposition of we can go and talk on the terrace shows what a long way he has come to realizing the masculine desires of his nature. As much pure their relationship may be , in this clip he is a sobered yet desperate lover, who only wants to be alone with the woman he loves . the question to ask, is why does he chose this scenario when all else has gone to bed?.. his eyes that roll around to check if they were being watched, and his hush hush plea with a finger on his lip , and finally the veering her to a private space, pleasantly reveals that Dutta if afforded the chance would have been up to no good..
Visually it is a beautiful scene , one can see the mighty Dutta in the throes of wooing his lover, he as dared .. however his expressions does mirror his unease and embarrassment in dealing with such instances. He wants to be close to her, but he also wishes to be contained and therefore the justifications , we are going to be married , all he wants to do is talk to her, and then shyly presents her with a gift.. this time not on the behest of his mother but himself. His nerves take the better of him and he fumbles with a jolly inclusion , that this time he knows the difference between a payal and a necklace! and in this light moment he continues his flirting by looking closely into her eyes bumping his forehead , even though accidently and then finally almost ,very nearly feels her ankle and fastens the payal. the girl as encapsulated by his inviting gazes ,and he throws in the invite... if she wanted they could continue this meeting .. ummh further on the terrace... buttt he is clean bowled over by traditions ...
The scene will forever be remembered by me , as a one where Dutta handles a woman's ornament instead of a gun! Mishal's expressions of lingering gazes, wanting and unease,and finally succumbing to situation, is pure gold. Mahi and Mishal what a unique and fine combination...Hamlet53.. 11.1.13
