Expressions and Emotions On Screen: Action is Mouthpiece.

This post is a response to all the viewers who loved the Id Overdrive of Sameer and who didn't like the 'loss of gentleman class''.

Well,Its was all a PERFORMANCE.How could we have known if he was blown away by the song and the scenes.Drama calls for action.

Thalia Goldstein believes to understand the work that goes into acting and what it means to convincingly portray another person onstage. She finds it helpful to first distinguish what acting is from what it isn't, and then determine the processes involved in performing.

Goldstein looks at three categories: pretense, lying, and actingas they fit into a trio of cognitive parameters. First, what is being presented perceptually and if it is actually happening or is just pretend; second, what behavior is being shown and whether that behavior is a cue to reality; and finally, whether the exhibited behavior is intended to fool the audience. On the first parameter, Goldstein says, all three categories are in agreement. In the cases of pretense, lying, and acting, "what is being presented perceptually, what we're seeing, is not real.

So all the views about Sameer falling prey to the hormonal overdrive and Sameer losing class due to such an open display of emotions are right at their own places. The display of emotions called for dramatic significance and we also know it's not that real in real life for gentlemen like Sameer.

This is strictly my POV.😳

Great post Minu... 😳

Personally I didn't see anything wrong in the way those boys behaved... The song in question is erotic enough to arouse the hidden emotions in public seeing it on such a large screen... It would not be wrong to say that the song choreography and lyrics were done in a way that it generated this reaction from the audience.

Censor Board had even asked to delete the entire mukhda on this song before the film release citing the lyrics and Madhuri's body movements. But the choreographer Saroj Khan had convinced them or rather convinced a female member of the censor board. That particular female member was wearing heels and Saroj Khan asked her to walk, when she did Saroj explained how her hips swayed exaggeratedly because she was trying to balance herself on high heels... Similarly when dancing Madhuri had to exaggerate certain body movements to highlight the lyrics, especially "dhak dhak karne laga"

We could say that same way, public, men and women alike, while watching that song being performed had connected, and felt the lyrics which is an achievement for the dancer and entire cast, and that is reflected in the awards this song won.

Teenagers watching this song will have expressions on their face... I would like to see one person who can watch this entire song with a complete poker face. Maybe, certain expressions were exaggerated, but that was to connect us audience to the mental state of those teenagers...

Again, just like Minu this is entirely my POV... and I am glad that CVs didn't step back in showing this hormonal urge in boys... It's natural reaction and there is nothing to be ashamed of it for any reason to feel embarrassed while watching it. 😳

A gentleman in outer world would be of no use if he doesn't have a side that is "just purely male"... 😉
