IPKKND LIVE BLOG SEASON 1 [Epi 5]

Let'z welocme Shyam today. *sarcasm intended* (-_-) (I know I wrote the wrong spelling by mistake but then I noticed it and thought let it be. Who cares. Shyam himself won't come here to correct me.)

There, I gave you the biggest spoiler of the episode, in advance to ruin your mood.

Heh. I am evil.

Now don't leave without reading it, okay? I do a lot of mehnat into writing these. :')

Come. Let'z begin this then *sighs irritated-ly*

Arnav's manager shows him the live news with the footage, being telecasted in some channel. (Kamlesh Khabri ji, was that yours ? Lol.)

2. Did you-too- wonder about that 'smart' phone, Arnav was holding? Turns out, I could find it.

3. "Aaj ka saajan" Lmao. (Today's lover)

4. Arnav, while watching that clip, being telecasted, flashes back to the line Khushi said last, before leaving. "Devi maiyya ki marzi ke bina koi kuch bhi nahi kar sakta, koi Arnav Singh Raizada bhi nahi." (No one can do anything without Devi-Maiyya's wish, not even some Arnav Singh Raizada.")

5. Basically, he is thinking, that, he has shown her place to 'that girl', who had said that he can't do anything without some 'devi maiyya's wish'.

6. This is clear in his reply to Akash's protest for over paying MR . "Meri beizatti karne ki himmat naa kabhi kisi ne ki hai, naa ab koi karega." (No one, has ever disrespected me, nor anyone would, now, have the guts to.) Oh. So, the problem is your ego issue.

I should have known it. Khushi had the misfortune to meet you and now she is paying the price with her reputation and dignity, being butchered like animal slaughtering. You, a__hole.

7. Khushi and her Amma are getting molested by a bunch of perverts.

8. Babuji tries to stop them, but he gets a hard push, which results in Shashi losing his balance and his head hits a nearby pole.

9. The men are very adamant and one of them tugs at Khushi's dupatta.

10. There. A man, wearing, a beautiful shiny brown pair of office shoes, with a matching pair of trousers, is shown stepping down from somewhere. He starts walking (towards the scene?)

11. A Turquoise bracelet gleaming in his right wrist. (why the fck isn't he wearing his wedding ring?) He is shown from behind some -shops?- He walks upto where babuji had fallen down. He helps him to stand up.

12. Wow. Daiyya Ho! What an entry.

13. Everything aside. Aabhaas looks so fckin handsome in that outfit. Everything. Literally, everything about his look is so freaking perfect. The colour combo of the shirt and pant. The shoes. Oh. God. I am in love with those shoes.

IDK. It's just looks so- fantastic?-deliciously beautiful?- I am simping for those, quite literally. Is it normal for some human to simp on a pair of shoes? Whatever. So. Yeah. I was talking about the look. The flare of the pant, as he walks. His haircut. Like. Wow. Absolutely ravishing.

14. And he starts beating those mfs, one by one.

15. After beating those hooligans. He walks back to Babuji, to check up on him. He tells him to get a band-aid for his cut. Babuji is touched by his words and thanks him for the help.

16. Then, Shyam turns to look at where Amma was standing but is transfixed to see Khushi shyly(hesitantly?) looking at him with tears in her eyes, from behind her Amma, just like any other rom-com film, only that, this isn't any other rom-com film. (the Sitar and Tabla BG score used, here, is so freaking beautiful and also kind of suits him coz it sounds something like wicked and graceful.)

17. We can see, he is caught off guard, by the way, Khushi is looking at him; by her beauty. He realizes her hesitation and picks up her fallen dupatta and offers it to her but Amma takes it back. He might have wanted to talk to her but, before that, he is pulled out of his trance, by babuji and they bid him a goodbye.

Khushi turns back to look at him, one last time. Only that, this isn't the last time, they would be meeting. Alas. Khushi as well as we, don't even have an idea about, the depth, of his obsession with Khushi that, will go, after this moment.

18. Look at the absolute contrast, in the way, they introduced both the anti-hero and the main villain. At this point, half of the audience might have already started shipping Shyam and Khushi.

19. The sequence, at Gomti Sadan, is so freaking emotional. Khushi is, again, getting punished for the crime that she didn't even commit. (Or until they think that she shouldn't have left the house at all.)

20. Even babuji cannot come to forgive her, this time. Garima decides to send, both of them, away to Delhi. Buaji, who always had an over-reaction for every situation, was, a minute ago, shouting at both of them to say or do something, to punish Khushi,(She really likes to see Khushi suffering. Bloody sadist.) is shocked. Lol. "Dilli kauno davaai ki pudhia thori haee, ki ghol ke pilaay dio. Sab theek." (Delhi isn't some bundle of medicines that dissolving it in water and making it drink someone, would cure everything.)

21. The moment she realizes that she has to take both of the girl's responsibility, she spits out the water from her mouth. Lmao. She tries to convince both of them but is not successful. Her discomfort is so visible, as she gets to taste the result of her instigation. LMAO. LMAO. LMAO. Buaji ab maza aaya? Lol.

22. Anjali comes in with a thaali, diya and some incense sticks burning. Arnav is immediately irritated at the sight of his Didi (initially he used to call her 'didi' then he resorted to 'Di').

23. She asks about whether he ever thought about the well-being of 'that girl' before creating such a huge ruckus and Arnav, I think, is caught off guard.

24. We are immediately taken to 'that girl', who is so innocent that she could not even think that her 'woh' had released those 'taswirein'.

25. She vows to find out who was the one to release them.

26. Deepali's foundation was so off, in this scene. (Literally, her face looks so pale.)

27. Payal asks Khushi, in a challenging(or admonishing?) way, that how will she find out, ready to scold her, for even mentioning to do something else, lest it worsens the already messy situation, they are in.

28. Screen cuts to Arnav, still in his thoughts (maybe regretting? Lol. No.) as he comes out of his reverie and says " Soch ke hi toh kiya tha." (It was a thought out move.)

29. Liar. (Liar, pants on fire. Lol.) No. You were not thinking when you ordered for those videos to be released, Arnav. Why are you lying then? Tell your Didi that you did it, in a fit of rage, to show 'someone' that you actually hold a lot of power. Bloody b_stard.

30. Lol. "Ab aap apna yeh 'naari mukti morcha', yahan mat nikaliye, yeh mera office hai." (Now, please don't start your 'Women's Liberation March' here, this is my office.)

31. Lmao. The brother-sister banter is so heart warming and fun to watch :)

32. Both Khushi and Payal reach the office of 'Khabrein 24x7' (News 24x7). Khushi, is nervous, and clutches Payal's hand in fear. Payal understands her distress and smiles victoriously, that now she will be able to convince her sister, to return back to their comfort zone.

33. But, her sister is more courageous than she seems to be. And, true to her nature, she tells Payal to take a seat and walks up to the reception, gulping nervously.

34. She asks to have a word with their company's 'maalik' (owner). But, the receptionist tells her, for that she would have to go to Delhi.

35. After a few minutes of deciding, when she wants to talk, to the receptionist again, she tells her to wait for sometime without paying any attention that she is 'the same girl'.

36. Sometime later, the workers of the office realize that Khushi is that 'TV wali ladki' and they start mocking her and make fun of her situation. They circle her in the center of the office and keep laughing.

37. Payal is disappointed and reduces to tears immediately, she quickly walks up to Khushi but loses the courage to take her out of it, as her feet get frozen, due to the nervous-ness, by all that negative attention, that, they are getting.

38. Khushi noticing, that her sister is getting affected by the mess that they have managed to land into, speaks up. She, while shedding tears, knocks some sense into them. And they are.....umm, immediately regretting it? No realization?

I mean to say that they could have shown them realizing their mistake, like, they could have taken some time? Then, that, 'sorry we were wrong' could have made much more sense. Did you too feel that? No? Only me? Ok. Leave it. (Pata nahi choro.)

39. So. Yeah. They 'feel' sorry immediately. And regret it. But, Khushi does not want their apology. She wants the answers which she had come for. They reveal that they got the orders from the higher authorities ('Woh clippings release karne ke orders upar se aaye the.')

40. Khushi asks who send them those clippings and is unsurprisingly shocked. I know. I don't make sense. But. Let me explain. See. She is so naive, that, she didn't even realize the extent of power and influence that ASR commands.

Just because, she got to 'talk' to him personally, in a fairly public place (The Dargah), without any appointment, in his own office, doesn't mean that he is not 'that' much influential. It's just, he chose to have a conversation about the topic with her. He could have easily ignored her. But, he didn't.

So, my point is, she could not even come to think that only he would be the one, who could do this, even after, getting into a heated argument with 'The ASR'. She had already started treating him like an acquaintance. Like, he is a random normal person, just like her. And, not some Business Tycoon of the Fashion Industry. She had already started treating him like an equal, like a normal person, of her 'status'.

41. So. She's shocked. Screen stops at her face. Precap begins. *quickly pauses it* Spoilers. (Although I had already watched it once earlier *smiles nervously* I am not a hypocrite, okay? I had watched it out of excitement.)Ok. Bye.

P.S. : No P.S. Bye. Have a great day/night ahead. God bless you.

Lunchbox_Brijesh Maurya

The Lunchbox is a beautiful movie, which tells the story of unusual connections between two strangers through the lunchbox and exchange notes. This story portrays the life of people in Mumbai. This story is an excellent showcase of the culture of the mumbai. Through the certain scenes we can see how most of the Mumbaikar get their food. It shows the life of the lunchbox delivery person, the struggle of the people, who are working in Mumbai, in terms of traffic, food, chaos in the train, huge lines for bus or no seat available to sit. 

This film revolves around loneliness and an individual's desire for connection, to share love and care with each other. Both the characters, Ila and Saajan build a strong relationship through the letters. This shows the feeling of love and championship rather than physical attraction. Throughout the movie the main actor, Saajan’s emotional graph and sketch changes from being a rude, sad, and lonely person to being happy and nice to others. This could be observed through his behavior in terms of treating himself to the behavior with children and Nawazuddin Siddiqui sir. The story is great in itself, as the way the dialogues of  Nawazuddin Siddiqui sir have spoken, has left an impression on me.

I really liked the role of Nawazuddin Siddiqui sir. He has added multiple comedy scenes, which kept me as a viewer engaged. He has left a deep impression on me too. 

Each and every scene has been well thought and planned to create. The house arrangement of Ila and her neighbor aunty on the top of her room. This shows how People in Mumbai actually live. Also how most of the Mumbaikar spend their breakfast and lunch by eating Banana is also shown. The movie is well researched and by keeping the location in mind shooted. 

In terms of cinematography the movie is kept as realistic as possible to give real feel to the viewer of the location. Most of the scenes of the movies are Medium long shots to close up shots. Keeping more emphasis on the actors expressions and dialogues to make the viewer understand and see the development of the characters emotion over the time. 

In this there are multiple shots in terms of magnification to cinematography. It was established to establish the location of Mumbai and the office. In this we can also observe the 180 degree rule and over the shoulder shot to lower the shoulder shot. 

In this movie multiple point of view shots have been taken. Example of the Point of view shot.

However, I really like the last part of the first two minutes of the opening shot. In this the shot is taken from the window grill. I find this shot to be a unique shot, which is not practiced much in the film. Though it’s a point of view, the child’s mother (Ila) is looking through the window. The director has kept in mind the road in terms of being wet. He had made the connection with the context of the rainy season. Where the mother warns the daughter not to play as she will fall. The road view with paddle impasses on it more. I really like the composition of this shot too. This mostly monochromatic color is used in black and white. However, if we talk about other things, such as the balance. The director has kept it in mind keeping the same amount of the contrast color of the red bag, in the form of leaves. It balances out the color and does not emphasize on it much. Also the character is nicely placed on the forth intersection point of the rule of third.

Also I really liked the composition of the frame within the frame shot. This helps to emphasize more on the character and the dialogue. 

In this movie I have observed multiple cuts. These cuts were really used cleverly to reduce the film length to the setting impression on the viewers. In this movie the cuts I have observed are: 

Standard cuts 

This cut was used most of the time to change the location and characters. Example the scene from 6:27 to 7:15. 

2. Jump cuts

This can be seen in the shot of showing how the lunchbox is getting delivered, when the one man was riding the bicycle to and reached its place. This was also used in other places too, when Saajan used to travel and reach his home. For example we can have a look at the scene from 4:04 to 4:10 and 5:15 to 5:22. 

3. Cut on action

While Saajan was opening the lunchbox to eat and taking out the food on the plate. Also while Ila was cooking food.

Scene of 9:00 to 9:08

4. L cut and J cut

This was seen when Ila used to talk beforehand, when the Saajan Scene was shown in the office or at home. Ila used to cook and talk to her aunt and share things. 

5. Cross/parallel cutting

When the scene used to change from the Saajan house scene to Ila’s house at night. The scene used to change and I saw their different house stories.   Example scene from 30:47 to 32:43. 

6. Cutaway and Insert.

This could be seen when Saajan is outside of his home and we see the scene from the neighbor's house window. But suddenly the small girl came and Saajan was scared and turned his face. 32:34 to 32:53

This film was linear narration as throughout the movie we see the character development and story moving ahead. We could see how both the character ( Saajan and Ila)’s relationship was getting strong. We can see how things changed over time. Usually from being unknown to the plan of meeting just through the notes. Also In some places we could see nonlinear narration. Example, while Saajan was reading the letter in the afternoon at his office. We could see the scene of the past in the morning through the perspective of Ila,while writing the letter. However the majority of the part is linear therefore it is Linear narrative. 

This whole story was based on an object. Therefore this whole story follows the principle of object based. The Object in this movie is Lunchbox. Without it there wouldn’t be a development of this story. The main principle is Object. However it is also Conversational based too. The conversation through the letter with the help of lunchbox builded the storyline. 

Overall, this film was a great film in terms of dialogue, composition, costume and other aspects of media. It is a really well thought out and researched movie. This reflects the hard work of all the artists.

,Main Nijaam Se Naina I Stole A Glance From Nizam!

POET AMIR KHUSRO

Saajan preet lagaai ke

Piya door des mat ja

Baso hamaari naagari

Ham maange tu kha

Khusro nadiya prem ki

So ulti va ki dhaar

Jo nikla so to doob gaya

Aur jo dooba so hua paar

Ghar-naari ganvaari chaahe so kahe

Main Nijaam se naina laga aayi re

Ve Bulleya chal otthe chaliye

Jitthe rehende saare anne

Na koi saaddi zaat pehchaane

Na koi saannu manne

Main Nijaam se naina, manmohan se naina

Main Nijaam se naina laga aayi re

Ghar-naari ganvaari chaahe so kahe

Ek sooratiya ki do hain mooratiya

Ek Raam aur ek Rahim

Bhool bhi jaaiye kahin

Saari izaafaton ki baat

Vaham-e-dui bhi kufr hai

Ek vajood, ek zaat

Sohni soorat mohni moorat va ki

Main to hirday beech sama aayi re

Ghar-naari ganvaari…

Khusro Nijaam ke bal bal jaiye

Va ke bal bal jaiye

Main to anmol cheri bik aayi re

Ghar-naari ganvaari…

Note by scholar Homayra Ziad:

1. Nijam: Nizamuddin Auliya (died, 1325), Ameer Khusro’s beloved spiritual guide, was known as Mahbub-e-Ilahi – the Beloved of God. Under his influence, the Chishti Sufi order spread throughout the sub-continent. Khusro died soon after his shaykh in 1325 and is buried next to him in the Nizamuddin dargah in Delhi. Khusro writes this poem in the voice of a young woman, returning giddy after a meeting with her lover. Looking straight into the eyes of one’s shaykh is the greatest honour, a transfer of blessings (barkat).
