Trailer : 

Masa team production release stills dari web series ni dah rasa excited dah sebab ada Pulkit, Kriti, Jim dengan Harshvardhan Rane. Dah lama tak tengok Harsh berlakon. The cast is great but the story of Taish (Anger)? Kisah bermula dengan konflik kecil antara pasangan cinta Rohan Kalra (Jim Sarbh) dan Arfa (Kriti Kharbanda) bila keluarga Rohan ada wedding ceremony untuk Krish (Ankur Rathee) dan Mahi (Zoa Morani). 

Rohan warganegara India manakala Arfa pula lahir di Pakistan tapi disebabkan kawan baik Rohan, Sunny Lalwani (Pulkit Samrat) pujuk parents Rohan untuk terima, then it is settled walaupun awalnya sarat dengan judgement. Masa party somehow Rohan collapsed sebab ternampak Kuljinder Brar (Abhimanyu Singh) datang menyembang dengan ayah dia. Trauma masa kecil datang balik sebab dia pernah kena cabul. 

Berang dengan rahsia tu, Sunny pergi balas dendam dan belasah sampai Kuljinder cedera parah. Akibat dari perbuatan dia, Krish dibunuh pada hari perkahwinan oleh Pali (Harshvardhan Rane). 2 tahun Rohan bawa diri dan hidup bersendirian tanpa Arfa. Pali pula habiskan masa dalam penjara selama 2 tahun untuk kesalahan dia. Sunny masih tak tenang dan nak bunuh Pali dalam penjara tapi Rohan sempat halang bila Shozi (Viraf Patel) bagitahu plan bodoh tu.

Episod awal drama ni dah syok dah bila tengok kemelut dua keluarga ni tapi dia mula menyakitkan hati bila watak Sunny tak sudah-sudah buat benda bangang. Tak ada sebab pun kenapa Sunny kena mengamuk sampai macam tu sekali walhal Rohan dah stabil dah. Perlu ke satu London bagitahu Sunny yang keluarga Kuljinder tu pembunuh tanpa belas? Sebab dia habis semua orang trauma. Dekat episod 5 tu kalau director tak buat scene antara Rohan dengan Arfa lagi bagus dan gantikan dengan flashback antara Sunny dengan Krish. At least kita tahu yang Sunny sayang Krish macam adik dia sendiri and we can feel connected with the pain. 

Sama jugak dengan watak Pali. Ego dia tercalar ke abang dia kena belasah sebab kesalahan dia sendiri? Betul la cakap Sukhi (Saurabh Sachdeva), perlu ke nak besarkan hal ni? Dendam diorang dah terbalas dah pun. Pali boleh hidup bahagia dengan Jahaan (Sanjeeda Sheikh). Tapi dia tetap jadi bangang dan biarkan Jahaan hidup merana. 

However, I do appreciate Narambir’s creativity bila dia bermain dengan plot masa bila beberapa hari bersilih ganti dengan masa sekarang supaya penonton rasa nak tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi antara dua keluarga ni. Bersilih ganti juga dengan dua mood yang berbeza antara dua keluarga. Dua-dua ada wedding tapi dengan mood dan penerimaan berbeza. Penulis buat keputusan yang bijak untuk letak rahsia dalam casual conversation antara watak-watak yang wujud so kita rasa tertarik untuk tahu apa jadi seterusnya. Music score dari Gaurav Godkhindi dan Govind Vasantha menghidupkan mood especially lagu Roshni Si dan Shehnaiyan Wajan Do.

 


Brownie points untuk Golpika Gulwadi sebab sediakan pakaian yang cantik-cantik untuk majlis perkahwinan Krish dan Mahi. Even daily wardrobe semua watak pun stylish and trendy. Props pun mainkan peranan untuk tinggalkan impak pada penceritaan. Dengan hasil editing Harashvir Oberoi, semua scene nampak cantik dan memukau. Happy shots, sadness, anger and every other feelings was well portrayed and delivered. 

Lakonan semua pelakon adalah kekuatan drama Taish baik leading cast mahupun supporting cast walaupun perjalanan episod-episod akhir agak messed up. Semua pelakon yang masuk ke industri dengan bakat lakonan masing-masing. Chemistry setiap pasangan buatkan semua perhubungan nampak realistik dengan konflik yang mereka alami. Rasanya Harshvardhan Rane dan Pulkit Samrat boleh tebus balik perjalanan karier mereka yang hilang dengan web series ni. They leave such a great impact in every scene they're in. 

Walaupun watak Krish muncul sekejap je tapi lakonan Ankur Rathee bagus dan mencuri tumpuan. I was hoping some flashback sebab nak tengok dia lagi tapi sayangnya tak ada. Watak-watak perempuan dalam series ni agak terhad sedangkan boleh dikembangkan lagi daripada setakat jadi damsel in distress. 

Rasanya web series Taish takkan ada sequel sebab dua keluarga ni pun dah musnah but I do enjoy the experience wathing them in a great screenplay and remarkable talent. 

1. Team Production +0.5, 2. Visual +1, 3. Audio +1, 4. Storyline +0.5, 5. Casting +1, 6. Genre +0.4, 7. Themes +0.6, 8. Editing +0.7, 9. Social Message +0.6, 10. Personal Thought +0.2 = 7/10

Blog Performance Oktober 2020

Bila orang kata Tragedi Oktober, it is a tragedy. Bermula dengan Selangor kena PKPB, kemudiannya Selangor tak ada air for several times due to water pollution or paip pecah. Lepastu blog pula dah bertukar sepenuhnya kepada New Blogger tanpa option untuk Legacy Blogger langsung. Facebook, Twitter dan Instagram dah bertukar interface which I don't like at all sebab semua interface nak buat besar. Kenapa? mata manusia dah makin sepet ke? Ada neraka khas untuk group of people yang suggest idea ni. Menyusahkan kerja orang lain. 

Bulan ni I tak buka blog banyak sangat pun sebab busy dengan kerja satu hal, menyampah dengan New Blogger satu hal. So traffic pun ups and down...

1. PV

Thankfully bulan lepas I target nak cecah 955k dan bulan ni I dapat lebih dari target, 961k walaupun graf naik turun dan tak cecah pun 1k setiap hari. 

Idk for November, mungkin makin malas atau mungkin makin busy dengan kerja. Lose hope dah dengan PKPB ni sebab bukan salah kita pun kes covid naik. Habis kacau bilau hidup orang. Bila kena wfh ni there's no time limit tau tak. And I hate that! Tak tahu nak target berapa dah untuk bulan November ni, mungkin 980k then December dah boleh cecah sejuta dah. Mungkin....

2. Keywords


Good thing is, keywords search I dah pelbagai. Kalau dulu stuck dengan keyword yang sama je but now ada perubahan ketara. 

3. Audience

Lebih kurang sama je dengan bulan lepas tapi audience dari Indonesia mula menurun. Even Brunei already gone. Anyway takziah kepada rakyat Brunei yang kehilangan permata mereka - Pengiran Muda Haji 'Abdul 'Azim. May God bless his soul. 

4. Posts




Famous betul lagu Harith Zazman ni sampai tak pernah keluar dari Popular Post sejak I update dekat blog ni. Punca kenapa traffic I boleh cecah target hahaha

5. Bilangan Entri


Bulan ni takde mood nak update so 41 entri je lah itupun ada segmen dengan advertorial. Kalau tak entah tak cecah 30 pun. Interface baru ni menyusahkan I untuk update review. Kalau dulu setengah jam je dah boleh siap, sekarang ni sejam pun belum tentu lagi nak siap. Dah la ambil masa untuk loading, kadang tu ada some glitch happened. Hantar feedback pun tak guna, bukannya diorang baca pun. Mungkin lepas ni beralih ke Wordpress ataupun blogging site yang lain. Who knows....

15 Quotes From Dear Zindagi Movie

Saturday 31 October 2020

I super love Dear Zindagi movie and I think the quotes from that movie need to be in a separate post because why not, right? Maybe some days in future I will use this quotes to motivates me, to make me understand this life better, to have broader perspectives in every thing happening around me. Or maybe helping you guys too. 

1. On Relationship 

“Why just one special relationship?

One can have many special relationships. Different relationships for different experiences like a special musical relationship - who shares the same interest in music, or a special let's get coffee together relationship - perfect to have coffee with but not anything else, or a special gossip relationship - with whom you can have perfect gossip relationship, or a special intellectual relationship - for all those perfect bookish/intellectual discussions. There are so many different special relationships, so many kind, and this romantic relationship is one of many.

To expect a single relationship to take on the burden of every need is a bit unfair, right?”

2. On Life Partner

When we go to buy chairs we try many before buying one, so then what is the problem in looking for options while selecting a life partner? Try to keep our focus away from the rush to find a life partner and enjoy the journey instead.

3. On Future 

Don’t let the past blackmail your present to ruin a beautiful future.

Don’t forgo a chance of happiness out of past fear.

4. On Life

We are all our own teachers in the School Of Life.

5. On Person

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle … people like me can only help you in finding and connecting the puzzle pieces … but only you can complete the puzzle. So often we look at to other people to solve our problems in and out of relationships. But the only person who can really help you is you

6. Classic But Gold

Albert Einstein had said that … a person is mad when he does the same work everyday … but still expects the result to be different.

7. On Being Genius

In life when you see a pattern or a habit forming … then you should think about that very carefully … genius is about knowing when to stop. A person who has the answer to every question is not a genius … a genius is a person who has the patience to get to every answer.

8. Struggle in Life…is it necessary? 

Sometimes we choose a difficult path only because … we feel that to attain important things we need to choose a difficult path … we think that it’s important to punish ourselves … but why can’t we choose a simple path … what’s wrong with that … especically when we are not ready to face that difficult path

9. On Controlling Your Life

If we don’t take the steering wheel of our life in our own hands … then someone else will sit on the driver’s seat.

10. On Loving Ourselves

When we understand ourselves well enough then it doesn't matter what others understand… nothing at all.

11. On Feelings

As kids when we are sad, our elders tell us not to cry. When we are angry they tell us to smile. They didn’t allow us to express crying, anger and hatred openly, now how can you express love. If you are not able to cry openly ... then how will you laugh openly.

12. To Feel Safe

To feel safe you first need to remove all your fears.

13. On Mental Ilness

If you have a problem with your body, that’s normal…you can tell everyone. But if it’s a problem with our mind then the whole family will go silent.. hush hush hush as if the mind is not the part of your body.

14. On Parenting

'I'm not saying that you should forgive your parents or to stop feeling angry, you do as you wish. But I will say this: try to look them not as the exalted status of parents but as just two regular people who make mistakes as everyone else. As a child, it is hard to understand this.... but as an adult, you can at least try. 

15. Respect

Because you're elder, you don't think that getting respect is everyone's right and sometimes elders should also respect young people. 

My favorite quote is when Dr. Jehangir Khan talks about relationship. It moved me a lot. All this while I thought being in a relationship you have to be the perfect person in our partners’ life but turns out I don’t have to! 

Same goes to friendship, why limit your friendship just for small circle in your life? Is it because you fear of the backstabber or rude mistakes or even respect? Even our small circle will do that but out of love, we tend to forgive over the same mistakes. 

Tell me which is your favorite quote from Dear Zindagi and if you guys have not watch it yet, do visit Netflix okiessss ;)
