Re: eyelocks....yeah you are right, they were still ok cuz they weren't used in a hormonal sense like Gul shows....and music and edit deffo supported it well in terms of weaving in.
The top angle shots....haha yes those were deffo interesting. But just overall one gets a sense that the direction was very focused even for such a large cast....they focused a lot on the intensity of little moments and gestures. Aaj kal the laziness in the direction of most shows is just very obvious. Back then, even though these shows were being produced on a mass scale by Ekta ke PHs, they all seemed to have more focus in execution.
I've watched kaafi aage tak forward kar kar ke cuz I started to lose some patience 😆.....the family melodrama really got out of hand around the time of Prem confessing to his dad that he loves Heer....matlab it was a public confession and the dad is like, you still gotta marry Ash cuz I said so😕😆.....and woh Prem mandap mein baith ke, phir se uth gaya just to beat up Manmeet and shout that he will marry Ash, but he won't let Manmeet marry Heer😆.....then woh chachi beating up Heer and the whole Mohabbatein overload with random dialogues about duniya ki nafratein, dilon mein chahatein😆.
Prem became a more confused aatma after they left the house....matlab they are randomly living in some place but suddenly PH are more awkward with each other even after big public confession and hugs😆....he's randomly standing in the rain outside the house even though there is a verandah with a roof outside the front door😆. Must say though, such a chill trio PH and Meher were.....ek scene mein Prem shirtless ghoom raha hai and Meher doesn't even blink....aaraam se baat kar rahi hai with him and Heer standing there😆
It got weird cuz waise toh bade tashan se ghar se nikla Prem yeh bol ke Heer ko support karega but when she ends up proposing to him, he's like I can't marry you? Hain?😆....hell contrived that was.....and then the fact that his mom had to order him to propose to Heer🤔😆.....tooooo much melodrama of the mom and dad in that phase.
Then it got EVEN weirder....like WTH was that entire Ajmer track?😆....Heer flying in the wind?🤣 A whole epi of the dad dreaming that Heer is dead and Prem is committing suicide with her?😆 Random TITANIC ripoff with Prem laying Heer on some door floating in the river and then supposedly fainting next to her?😆 And next epi mein Heer faking MEMORY LOSS?🤣 I had to take a break after that cuz I was like 😆
And so many other weird things happening in between....Preet faking that he got Ash pregnant and Chachi believing this and getting blackmailed into helping him reunite Prem with the taklu dad?😆
Too many brothers and sisters and their extended families floating around😆....the Junejas ke five kids, Chachi ki two grown daughters, both with their romantic drama😆, then Heer and Meher, then that Nihal jo bhi hai....matlab the sheer number of storylines is something😆....aur phir woh Rishab villain bhi aa gaya....isko dekh ke mujhe sirf Bhaskar Bharti wala role yaad aata hai iska....even though he was Vikram in BALH too😆
