Age Factor and Powerful characters - Page 2

great post i completely agree.I still remember the day i was flipping channels and heard "mera maal kahin nahi jayega" and saw him doing all that maar dhar and  i was like "o teri Mishal don't do a show on this channel , kitni bhi bindas entry ho you'll end up yourself going to office coming back having extra long eye locks( which now i'm glad ltl never had) and marrying god knows how many women" then came the scene where hes shot and holds nakus leg there was close up of his eyes which were again speaking volumes and my reaction was "is bande ko ramu kaka ka role bhi doge to usme bhi ye oscar winning performance hi dega" from that very day not a single day went when dutta failed to make me fall in love with him.I strongly believe that no matter whatever may mishal's next venture be dutta will be his best and he'll always be dutta for me.

as far as other young powerful characters are considered i think the character RK played in LRL was quite strong( though its not that general mass feared or adored him) , haven't watched the show thoroughly so can't really comment on how it was executed but i've seen amir, he's a nice actor must have done justification to the role.

but yes whatever limited knowledge i have about tv, based on that i can say there have been not a single character on tv of dutta's age having the kind of impact on mass as he had thats the reason when 1st time they showed that dutta is like bhagwaan for people outside the hospital i felt kind of weird not that i wasn't convinced but then it was a lil azeeb now i understand it was bcoz of his age we are kind of used to see old actors portraying these kind characters on tv.

Great post Kiran.

 

The lil that I know of, we have not had many characters as DSP on TV. There are probably those 'Angry Young' roles some as business tycoons or as successful career men. Which I guess many an actor have done some better than the other. There have been those 'Patriach' roles which we have seen enacted by those older actors.

 

But as you rightly pointed, a don who has achieved all that it takes in life at an age as Dutta's was unique.  And MR did a great job in giving life to that role.

I doubt anyone could have even come remotely close to the brilliance shown by MR (this is keeping my bias away) in which case the story would have revolved around the basti girl and her life, as it is today. 

 

I also feel the 'Pathani' look gave the well desired impact of a Don.

IMO Mishal the actor and Dutta the character just happened to each other.

My knowledge of TV serial is limited and biased. Mishal's performance as Dutta was brilliant. Just when we thought we knew Dutta, MR added another facet to this complex character.

Very good post Kiran. Dutta was one of the few characters who had acquired power at a young age. You generally get to see such characters only in movies.

i am sure Gc is agreat actor and his character is great but here im discussing not a strong but a powerful character or i can say more influenticial to normal ppl ,

i mean Gc as maan is a great combo but i can recall some amazing role very alike to him too like of Rk in kahin to hoga but Mishal in dutta role is unmatchable as mentioned by kshrya that this kind of role can be find in movied but not in tellyworld :)
