@ pink1, yeah Saras has been putting his hand on her head quite often these past few weeks, like a blessing, or ...I am not sure its not a reaction to that Afghan hound hairstyle that was in full form today! One always pats a nice dog on its head in just the same way. ๐@pink2 - I'm very chuffed with this ulti ginti - it's a new addition to my vocab, and I'm irrationally entertained by it!Ok now, confession time!#1I thought the Saras-Kumud scene today was quite well-written, (take a ๐ from me, you #SCWriters that I never have a good word for!) AND extremely poorly executed by JW and even GR. I dont blame the actors, they probably stopped looking for any sense in these scripts but todays lines had some hidden life in them that stayed well-hidden. Who on earth is the director???? Did they stop paying him/her?
Ok, so saw the SOTD again. Umm, I think it was awkwardly written. I thought Kumud needed to apologise to him for not having listened to him, he for having walked out on her, not for not liking that house. The whole point is it was not the house, it was the fact that they allowed Prashant to come between them, and they were stupid enough to think that they could catch a murderer by a ghost prank.So, they missed the whole point there.I also did not like the line when Kumud says when we leave home, there's trouble. Amnesia from writers? All the previous problems have been in RN. Kusum burning the house, Chandni bazar, pramaad and his burning the factory, Kumud's accident - all in RN.I am referring to the part where when she's putting that ointment on him, and suddenly starts speaking very fast, covering up her reactions to the whole trauma etc... prompting Saras to hold her close, and then first Saras and then Kumud each speak of how they felt at the worst moments. JW looked sleepy/deaf throughout, and even GR failed to lift the scene in the way he normally does!Yes, they were dull there, I guess they were exhausted from the events. But what didn't work for me was the very paternal way in which he hugs her. And the lack of any reaction from her.#2There was also some odd words put into Saras' mouth that went like this -"meri ek baat hamesha yaad rakhna... zindagi mein jitne bhi mushkilein aayein hum usse bhaag nahin sakte, humein kabhi na kabhi uska saamna karna hi padega!"That was a completely misplaced line, where did that come from? Seemed out of context. Also not very relevant, because actually by returning to RN, they are running away, aren't they?Excuse me, was that meant for Kumud? Or for the mutinous fans of GR/Saras?...๐ ๐ ๐Confessions Over. I rest my case!Great case happy, but I had problems most with the direction - very unemotional treatment, esp the ointment and the hugs, second with the writing, the writer missed the point I felt, and the last with the acting, that still was the best part of the scene, IMO. Even dull and sleepy, the two are always good to watch. Compare this to kabir dressing gulabos wound and you'll see the difference - it was such a dull scene, whereas that was supposedly a romantic scene- the actors are as it is limited and yesterday director ji too seemed to be having an off day.
