Dil Se is a choice. It is choosing to bleed color into a monochrome schedule. It is choosing vulnerability over victory. Dil Se
But the crown jewel is the title track, With lyrics by Gulzar— "Dil se re, dildar ka... bairi jag saara, bairi tera... na koi raazi." (From the heart, beloved... the whole world is your enemy, yet no one agrees). But the crown jewel is the title track,
What unfolds is a classic tale of unrequited pursuit. Amar falls in love, almost instantaneously, but Moina rebuffs him at every turn. However, the audience soon learns what Amar does not: Moina is a suicide bomber, a member of a militant separatist group, entrenched in a war against the state that Amar represents. the whole world is your enemy, yet no one agrees)
The song is a funeral march for the ego. When you listen to today, via high-end headphones or tinny car speakers, the tabla and dhol don’t just create rhythm; they create anxiety. It is the sound of a man walking into a blast zone.

I never realized how prominent Dewey was this season compared to the others. He always reminded me of a prototype for the youngest son on “The Middle.” Do you think you will analyze that sitcom here?
Hi, Miranda! Thanks for reading and commenting.
I haven’t decided yet about THE MIDDLE — we’ve got lots of shows to get through before then!
What are your thoughts on Malcolm’s Car? The main story with Malcolm isn’t the best, but the Hal and Craig subplots are enjoyable in my opinion.
Hi, Charlie! Thanks for reading and commenting.
I deliberately excluded it because I think it’s well below average. I enjoy Craig, but I find his stories to be subpar distractions that have little to do with the series’ situation (unless they’re more about the main cast than him, which this one isn’t), and while the Hal idea is appropriately jokey — like almost every Hal idea this season — there are funnier uses of him above. Also, it goes without saying, but the Malcolm A-story is incredibly generic and has nothing to do with his individual depiction. That’s a pretty big handicap.
Probably the weakest season even though there are still good episodes.
I’m really loving your blog by the way. “Seinfeld” is one of my favorites and I love your commentary!
