Today was supposed to the BIG DAY for ACTION DIRECTOR PREM SHARMA along with the regular writing team. And it was a 50 Minute Mahaepisode with run time of 38 minutes. So I wanted to review the entire 38 minutes of content presentation.
The first 10 minutes
Honestly, the first 10 minutes was not that impressive. The action and emotion could not be blended and instead of logical action, it seemed the idiotic action remnant of most Bollywood movies from Prakash Mehra Action movies; he was the one who made AB a Hit in those days, check out the action in those movies...worst action, body dupes and rushed action...always a disconnect from the main movie when AB came to fight his goons. Today's action scenes were also remnant of late 80's action movies with no sense or purpose behind the action...check out action movies such as Loha...basically you can check all Dharmender movies in mid to late 80's after AB movies stopped clicking with mass movies.
RK declares to everyone that he is Real and Reel life Hero. The dialogues for RK were to justify why he is without bodyguards and why he is so fearless. So he answers the viewers, who have actually forgotten his Intro scene in June that RK does his own stunts. Hmmm ! RK is versatile actor, he is a romance hero + action hero
Worst dialogue of the Day - Radhaji...Jitne Paise Chaahiye tumhe, hum de denge 🤪 She just undermined Balraj's coup as having Mercenary Motive, stamping a feeling that MB heritage is poor. Koi is aurat ko samjhaaye...that Choudhry family was richer than yours and it just now a revenge drama.
Dialogues were OTT, Dance not Impressive and Scenes too contrived.
Coming back again to Action Directing from Prem Sharma and the Screen Play. I am really not sure, technically how it works. But my gut feel is that the action director will tell the screen play writer and dialogue writer, how he wants the scenes to be written which are conducive to his action scenes. Then I must say it was a shoddy job. The man just seems to be a brawn without brain. Sudden inexplicable appearance of dancers on the set 😕. He should have shown a shot them landing on the action scene in a vehicle...would have made sense as part of Balraj's overall plan. Entertainment cannot be so inexplicable in outskirts of city where there is no other Human Population visible.
11 to 20th minute
Panic sets in. Heart Beat rises. Even as we wonder why Balraj is not shooting Madhu and why he keeps dilly-dallying with the trigger... 😲🤢
Then comes the Flying Bike that never lands 🤣 🤣🤣
And look at Balraj's wondrous eyes...he is like...what's happening ?? What do I see here ?
And the circling of the Bike Never Stops 🤣 🤣🤣
Balraj calls his Damaad a Draamebaaz 👏 👏 👏
And the RK dialogues start...RK's appointment dates for his Mout (Death) 🤣🤣 🤣And the dialogues between Daamaad and Real Sasur get interesting with Bitua, Shooting with Guns and not Cameras, Encounter, Cross firing etc etc... 🤣🤣 🤣
OMG!!! A grenade launcher to nuke RK ☢️ 🤣🤣 This was like RK's introduction scene in MEIEJ OMG!!!!! RK flying through the Fire. How is that even possible. Doesn't Newton's law of gravitation apply over him 😲 😲 Oh He Fell ...Finally. Very Badly Done Scene 🥱 🥱 B Grade or C Grade 😕😡 😡
Emotional Music starts...Everyone is crying...Madhu is chanting her Hauslon Se Veer Hoon Mantra to revive the fallen RK.
21st to 30th minute
Okay Padmini and Trishna chanting the Hauslon se veer hoon ...did not make any sense to me. 🤪
Uth RK Uth jaap replaces Hauslon se Veer hoon. (ETA: Angeena reminded me that this jaap is taken from Satte Pe Satta movie). 😉
Bells Ring too. Devi maa seems to have come to Madhu's camp...
Why is Balraj not shooting Madhu and end the drama ????? 😕🤪
RK wakes up with Devi Maa's blessing.
But why are the Goons not warning Balraj that RK is waking up ?? 😕🤪They come to Balraj's rescue only when he is in physical danger. Seems Balraj did not pay them for using their brains. Seems the fee is only for their brawn. That's why they do not feed any intelligence to Balraj...no warning, no messaging..😎
The scuffle between RK and Balraj only leads to end of ever waiting of shooting Madhu down. Finally...What Balraj, for this you needed RK !!!!! 😕🤪
Dips is so happy 🤣 🤣 🤣 They did not forget her. Well of course. Must say, they have not forgotten the supporting cast. Everyone has been nicely giving their reactions. 👏😆😆 I liked that.
Madhu's stool is shot and all VD's expressions are...is it for real ? How is the scene actually done ? I mean he has no panic for the loss, he is just analysing the scene. 😆 😆Oh! runs to rescue her...
God!!! after this, watching and reviewing the scene is plain unfathomable to me. BECAUSE IT IS NOT MAKING ANY SENSE TO ME. It just goes over my head. 😕 And I can go to sleep. 🥱 🥱🥱
31st to 38th minute
I wake up from my sleepy state. Madhu freed herself as RK keeps supporting her in her air suspension mode while he gets beaten up with nothing happening to him as if he is a boxing punch bag.
Oh!! Madhu joined RK to become the boxing punch bag. She didn't want RK to have the entire fun. 🤣 🤣 🤣 They have time for eye-locks as well.
Anyways...some shooting technique changed here. RK's fight with Balraj appears in dark light (evening light). BADDD!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I cannot review here...as I got emotionally involved in the scene, watching the fight. RK was about to kill Balraj and Madhu stopped him.
The Police arrived. Bittuji brought the Police Hmmm!!!
Again I got emotionally involved watching the action...could not review the last 3 minutes. There was a scuffle between Balraj and everyone, where he had held Madhu as his hostage, only to be scene ending with blood trickling down Madhu. Surprise Surprise...Per the precap, its not Madhu's blood but Balraj's blood. Padmini shot Balraj.
B rating... I changed it from B minus to B. Because in restrospect, this kind of action for TV is first time. TV screenplay is not the same as shooting for film. In TV the continuity is lost as writers have to give logical breaks between AD breaks to continue holding viewer attention. Most of the time the scene should break so that it becomes recalling to the viewer. And I have to dig more info on Prem Sharma before I judge him.
