My own dabbling in theatre has taught me that in order to emote well you have to identify with the character , believe in him/her, think like him/her and that's how you will portray them with conviction.I doubt if GR himself is able to relate to Saras and his having become an accomplice in Kumud Dahan.My rant for today :When he saw pramaad hitting Kumud with that cushion and then reassuringly smiled at her, did he not remember Saraswati?Did he not worry that the same consequence will befall Kumud in a much worse way, for his dad's crime if I may call it that was in fact much lesser than that of pramaad.An ambitious selfish man, who succumbed to the wiles of Guman and ignored his wife, but still not an alcoholic, a wife beater and moreover a man who was true to Guman thereafter, married and gave her the respect and status of a wife, even that was so humiliating to Saraswati that she took her own life.And that was so unforgiveable for Saras that he walked out on his life and turned his back on his love.By today supporting Kumud in trying to win over a man much worse, is he not also in a way desecrating his mothers memory, and conveying that she should have stuck on with his father, continued to be a 'good' wife?Or is the message that since once married only death can save a woman from the clutches of a bad marriage, pati sudhar is only alternative a woman can take?Why are the two examples of his ma and Mai not giving him strength to oppose Kumud's decision to reform pramaad?Why this brain dead brainless Saras?
Bold: Arshi ji... You are full of surprises! And loved your rant!
I agree regarding GR... His disillusionment also comes through... And it is a HUGE shame to see a powerhouse performer like him reduced to a silly sidekick/perpetually smiling prop
Arshi, remember what Saras said to Kusum? "Agar mere kasam ke beech na aaye toh..." What is most sickening is that CV's are blatantly using Saraswati's name (kasam) in order to bind Kumud to a fate exactly like hers... But lucky Saraswati, she did not have loving hands ever ready to nudge her off the edge of the cliff... Kumud has a support system (Saras) who will smilingly and tenderly even put the noose around her neck and tighten. Lucky Saraswati again, as you say, LN comes across as a saint when compared to the jallaad that is Pramad. "Maa ki tarah..." Really Kusum? Saraswati must be turning in her grave right now, seeing what her son is up to - in her name, to boot 😡 Saras is not his mother's son, anymore. This Saras is not.
It's like the new writers are completely disregarding the original characterisations, even forgetting that this is an adaptation, and that some extent of 'fidelity' is a must. I'm sure they are least bothered about the fact that they are effing up one of the greatest masterpieces of Gujrati literature. I tell you, Arshi, if my venerable gentleman's fearful outrage is anything to go by... Logon ki bahut baddua mil rahi hogi to everyone involved. This show is gonna go down in flames and most heartbreakingly, will remain a black mark on the record of all associated with it.
