To quote my dear friend Sangita, today's scene between Jai and Bani was the "mother of all scenes." Never have I seen such intensity portrayed only with the eyes and for that, I must applaud the performance of Ram Kapoor and Prachi Desai. Genuinely, I'm not being biased here because I'm a J&B despo. but I really felt that they were flawless in portraying the characters pain coupled with longing and despair. Undoubtably, they have lived up to the "Jodi Award" (touchwood)
What makes Jai and Bani come alive for us?? What is it about them together that makes us feel for them?? What is it about the characters of Jai and Bani that seem so real??? At the risk of speculating, for me it's Ram and Prachi who infuse life into these two characters thereby conveying a certain nakedness and vulnerability through their eyes which is extremely powerful and tremendously endearing in that one feels like one knows the two of them closely and is sometimes intruding. I really am dumbfounded by the emotions conveyed with their eyes today. Friday's episode was indeed "child's play" whereas today's was the "mother of all scenes." Damm good!!
Am I the only one who felt and noticed an unusual amount of understanding between the two (the characters and the actors)???
