something made me revisit this movie and I’m thankful I did , it made my heart full and the sweet story got etched in my heart once again. It is one of the few stories where the individual chooses the other person . Aditya gave me a sense of belongingness . His silence even when his mind was in complete turmoil and had a tornado within himself , is hard to watch but that is how we are sometimes aren’t we? Strings and strings of unresolved conflicts which could run miles ahead without unevenness but remain tangled making a big knot. This knot occupies a large space within a person causing discomfort , but also at the same time , its presence gives a sensation of emptiness.
He is someone who would never judge a person , but also wouldn’t tolerate someone hurting the people he loves , who’s willing to change his perception towards life and accepts people as they are. He fell in love with Geet , who was in love with someone else. He saw and loved the sparkle in her eyes which was because of someone else and not him , fell for someone who was falling for someone else. He is someone Geet could confide in . She had always been the cheerful and bubbly girl who’d speak her heart out , but Aditya made sure he’s with her to listen to everything she has to say. When Geet was alone he thought of her condition as his own battle and was ready to do everything he could to bring her true self back. He appreciated the real things in life when he asks Anshuman “apni saari duniya peechhe chhod kar tumhaare paas kyun aa gayi vo?” and tells him ” tumne ye saabit kar diya ki actually ye uske sapnon ki duniya nahin hai, kyonki is mein tum
jaise log rehte hain.”
His love was unexpected and his decision to not do anything about it showed how much he cared for her happiness . But he also didn’t deny his feelings for Geet , and always stayed real.
“Har situation mein sochta hoon ki Geet hoti to kya karti aur vohi karta hoon.” She saved him once without even doing anything and kind of completed his life. And after that he selflessly stayed by her side , both times when she went out of her way to get her love back , and when she almost lost her spirit.
“Hum jo chal ne lage
Chal ne lage hai yeh raaste.
manzil se behatar
Lagne lage hai yeh raaste.”
He accompanied her to her destination and walked away smiling , knowing that he isn’t going to forget anything. He originated a safe and secure place for her in his heart and saw her imaginary glimpses in songs and rain.
“Mein kahin bhi jata hoon
Tumse hi mil jata hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi.”
He isn’t all metaphors and clichés. But will support you and won’t necessarily express his thoughts. He is the type of person who becomes a saviour rather than seeking help. And in the end that is what we really need , people who save us.
