Let me just say, I knew that the 'Yeh kya karahen aap" line was going to come today from Veer, but I didn't expect it to be a shriek followed by the clutching of the head. I know many of you thought that was justified, but in all honesty, it just reminded me that I am watching a soap opera. For me such boisterous acts of emotion exemplify the whole soap opera factor for me. I think for me, it would have been better if he clenched his fists rather then grabbed his head.
Veer crying on the floor with the picture frame, heart wrenching, but the screaming with his head back....totally broke the moment for me. Veer, Siddharth rather, has yet to perfect his shrieks and screams and what not, they just come off as 'acted' rather then natural. He did better today, no doubt, but his overt emotional outburst where not cutting it for me unfortunately.
Memories are indeed like leeches, they can suck the life out of you and leave you dry, or just stick to you causing pricks of pain, and I understand that loosing someone who you have been dieing to find can be very painful, and Veer's effort in trying to portray that pain was indeed touching minus the melodramatic parts.
It was a rather melancholy episode, and Cleaner Uncle really was not needed, I was sad enough as it is, no need to remind me about the unjust rule of social structures and norms. I think that scene was supposed to mislead us as an audience, Ayesha smiled at Raj, and i think we are all supposed to presume that she will fall for him due to his benevolence. Tricky tricky creatives, you can't fool us, we are seasoned Indian Soap Opera Viewers, we know what is coming, you can't surprise us anymore, and if you do, then I will send you a Thank You card.
The bench scene, aww. Just sad...BUT....WHY ALL THE COLOR....totally ruined the visual parallel which should have been provided according to the memory. I mean, so much color and lighting....it was an odd juxtaposition....I understand that this was a bittersweet memory, yet the blurred edges and bright lighting should have been left behind, a more natural approach would have balanced out the scene I think. Veer was cute in that scene, and Jai was awesome, I love that guy...he was in Santaan....hope to see more of him!
Pammi will bend, we all know she will, and about Minnie, someone give that lady a chocolate bar....damn bitter women...needs some sugar...hell....she should bathe in a chocolate fountain.....why so serious? (no Joker reference intended..LoL)
Acha.....let us see what tomorrow has to offer shall we!
PS- I read all of the post ahead of mine, and I just wanted to say that each and every one you guys are impeccable at expressing your opinions, and though I may not reply to each one, I do read them.
