[badedramay]

random question kyunki no pasoori today and I wanted to read something from you- which is your favourite arylie scene? 💕💕

I have to pick one? :(

I'll mention a few scenes that have, so far, stayed with me the most. In no particular order!!!

The Rain Scene.

I do not give this scene enough love compared to the amount of times I have gone back to watch it. I always start my, "uff..missing arylie..lemme go back and watch some scenes!" binge with this. It's just so beautiful? the build up..the emotions...just the way it is shot! I mean it's all blue! and Imlie and Aryan are completely drenched in a rain that's not gentle. everything about this scene is so raw. be it Imlie's emotions which she had been trying to suppress bursting out of her and for the first time we actually see Aryan talking about HIS own hurt albeit not in direct words. I'd say it was here from where Aryan calling out Imlie's bullshit really started. His, "tumhara sirf break up hua hai Imlie! Koi marr nahin gaya hai." lives in my mind rentfree!! Sumbul and Fahmaan were just terrific in this scene and it was this scene which really cemented their potential as this pairing that were gonna serve some major intensity!

Aryan's Entry as Raj.

This one is just personal, okay?! one of my fondest memories of the fandom. just the whole anticipation about who's gonna be Raj! If Imlie is Simran then definitely Aryan was going to be Raj. but oh my god what if he wasn't? everyone's look was revealed but why didn't we get Fahmaan's look reveal?! what was happening?! and then Atif posting that teaser and dropping his classic midnight bomb and the fandom just LOSING its shit. yeah..this one is personal. but not just cuz of the offscreen stuff. again, beautiful scene! it's the way he enters yaar! the slow-motion shot of him grabbing her hand (uff that visual will never not make my heart skip a beat) and then the focus of the scene being Imlie rather than Aryan. HER shock, HER gratefulness...the wah SHE follows him without putting up and resistance. it's just...gorgeously shot. again, Sumbul was terrific in this scene. her expressions alone have kept the Imlie side of AryLie alive, let's be honest. just the way Imlie LOOKS at Aryan...with awe, with wonderment, like she hadn't ever seen him before this moment...stuff of dreams this scene is.

Tum Ro Sakti Ho.

DO I EVEN NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS???????? What a MAGNIFICENT conclusion to a very very dramatic track. like..no wonder the TRPs had crossed 3+ for the track because really, the AdiNi remarriage track was some goooood ITV writing. and if we disregard what happens afterwards (because urgh) and just take this scene as the finale of the track and it not only very neatly ties up Imlie's arc of the track with her getting that final jhatka that her relationship with BS has ended which in turn pushes her on this path of prioritizing her own personal well-being over any relationship...her wanting to now put her emotions second and her logic first...but it also served as this brilliant opening for a new AryLie track all because of her questioning him about his pain. this is intense and angsty and just AGAIN..such brilliant performance by both Sumbul and Fahmaan. even direction wise..before this we didn't really see Aryan being so invasive of Imlie's personal space unless he wanted to threaten her with his presence. this was him pulling her close lest she pulls away entirely. this scene was an indication that the two of them had now entered a new territory wrt their relationship. again..stuff dreams are made of!

The Hero-Villain Conversation

Hands down my favorite scene from the entire Pagdandiya track. goodness, I made this entire thread about this scene (which I can no longer find cuz hah I locked my twt and I don't even have the password with me clownfaceemoji) but I had talked about how the casualness with which Aryan and Imlie had this conversation was reflective of their development. in the thread I had said that this was the sort of conversation that two friends would have after a long week of work on a weekend...chilling on the terrace with beers and snacks. it was friendly, it was lowkey flirtatious. and most importantly...you could SEE the bone tiredness of Imlie and Aryan in their body language. the two had had a long day from which they hadn't fully recovered before being thrust into this storm that had triggered Imlie's trauma. she was shaken and on the verge of a complete breakdown if not for Aryan who held her back physically and then with his presence, distracted her enough to calm her down. and that's just one part! the other part of brilliance this scene is the layers of meaning behind the Hero-Villain-Item Girl they were speaking in. Aryan calling himself the Villain i.e. the final boss she would have to face that would determine her victory or loss. Imlie calling him not as important...and naming him the Item Girl of the movie - splendid, glamorous, and brief with no relevance to the actual plot of the movie. excellent writing, wonderful direction, superb performance. and this scene being followed by the Shikayatein sequence and that was just...*chef kiss*

Special Mentions.
