First Res 5eva!
OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!
I have been waiting for you all afternoon and boy has it been worth it!
You know what I liked the most? Their realization that they'd both been in the wrong, that they'd rushed into marriage without really understanding each other, that it takes both sides to make a marriage work, and that despite everything that's gone wrong between them-- they still need each other.
And the shoot by the river? HOT DAMN! That was so effortlessly Bollywood. And I have to say, it was honestly so much more sensual than the original sequence. Thank god you don't have crazy SP nuns after you.
What an incredible interpretation of the whole nafrat paas aane na de, mohabbat door jaane na de thing. And as Lavanya said, love is so much stronger than hatred.
Arnav's anguish when he held a dying Khushi in his arms was terrifying because it gave me a they-wanted-to-kill-Arnav flashback.
And the dialogues? So signature IPKKND! I can't even. I would QUOTE you if these dialogues were canon. (I have a feeling I'll be doing it either way)
But I come back to Arnav and Khushi's relationship again and again. The exploration of their insecurities, doubts, hurt, inability to communicate, little gestures, quiet concern for one another-- every nuance was so beautiful and so real. Marriage is so much more than explosive chemistry and attraction. Love has so many shades and facets and that's what you've covered so beautifully here.
And their final decision to meet in the middle and try and make it work because staying away from each other is much worse was beautiful.
I love love LOVE this one J-- one of your best for sure.
I'll probably come back and add to this as I think of other things. But for now, ILYD!
