am recieving all positive comments about episode 9 of KURAMEY VADHAA’EE SALAAM. great! just the thing i needed.

 

in episode nine, ZUHURAA is secretly meeting JIMMY who has returned to MALE’. at the same time, ZUHURA is seeing all good qualities in MANIK to whom she’s forced to marry. JIMMY has developed a strong jealousy towards ZUHURAA and MANIK upon seeing them laughing while having dinner in an open air restaurant.

 

also, the grudge between ZUHURAA and MANIK’s sister played by HAJJA is revealed. more comic scenes exchanged between HAJJA and SAEED. and the episode finishes with a blast when MANIK calls ZUHURA while she walks up to her secret lover at artificial beach.

 

the only two negative comments i recieved was this serial being too hindi. wait, i think i have heard this comment before. anyways, the second comment being, well this is actually not a comment but a distaste the person who commented has for MANIK. this person doesn’t like MANIK at all. was that my fault? or call this bad casting? 

i have listened to the trial theme song of HINITHUNVELAASHEY KALAA composed by musician THITTHI. the music really relates to entire mood of the serial. also, the lyrics sums up everything that happens in the serial. good work. 

fatthaah and his cast and crew went to Ha. Baarah today to shoot the historical recreation scenes that take place in episode 31 and 32 respectively. fatthaah wanted to use the exact locations that were described in MOHAMED THAKURUFAANU story. expect a modern twist to a real account or shall i say HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF?

 

fatthaah went back to Kelai last week.

episode 9 of KURAMEY VADHAA’EE SALAAM was aired last night despite the world cup 2006 fever which could be a detrimental factor for the faithful audience of this serial. episode 9 was aired near the  final five minutes of the second match played between MEXICO and IRAN. 

 

at the time of writing this, i haven’t recieved any comments to this serial. 

B/W Productions has been officially dissolved yesterday. head of creative department, MOHAMED SHAREEF and i had a meeting yesterday at Graphix Cafe to talk over future plans and what can be done with tentative projects planned by the B/W Productions. the latter said projects will be proposed to already established studios. the future plans are that we first work on IBRAHIM WAHEED BINMAA’s story which is undergoing a new act one and a two respectively rewritten by IBRAHIM WAHEED himself.

 

yesterday’s meeting went from 1600 hrs to 1730 hrs. 

short lived B/W Productions is to be dissolved without having produced anything under its belt. this decision was made at a board meeting held at Central Hotel Terrace last night. four out of five boad members voted in favor of dissoving the company due to unforseen circumstances. 

the first meeting to rewrite popular writer IBRAHIM WAHEED BINMAA’s script was held yesterday at 1530 hours at Synthiyana Restaurant. i joined with head of B/W Productions creative department MOHAMED SHAREEF and the script writer IBRAHIM WAHEED himself. SHAREEF and i discussed on changes that can be brought to the script to make it more darker since the theme of the plot was about a man’s decadence.

 

IBRAHIM WAHEED agreed to our points and said that he would make the discussed changes as soon as possible. he will create a new first act that will strengthen act two and three. furthermore, an additional change to the final scene will also be made creating more empathy towards the protagonist regardless of his character being an anti-hero.

 

the meeting went till 1730 and personally it was an honor for me to sit with IBRAHIM WAHEED. we will have another sitting once he makes the necessary changes. looking forward to that meeting as well. 

director FATTHAAH has assigned high profile director NIMAL in charge of  few days of shooting. NIMAL flew to Ha. Kelai yesterday evening. NIMAL and FATTHAAH will coodinate over the phone on which scenes to shoot first. FATTHAAH is currently in Male’ attending his ill son.

episode 8 of KURAMEY VADHAA’EE SALAAM was aired on TVM last night. the plot thickens with ZUHURA forced to marry MANIK whom she doesn’t love. ZUHURA has fabricated an illness that will keep MANIK away from her, in sexual terms i mean, ahem! obviously JIMMY is shattered over ZUHURA’s marriage. But upon hearing ZUHURA’s fabrication, the episode ends when JIMMY returns to MALE’. his motives will be revealed in the coming episodes.

 

i haven’t recieved much comments to this episode at the time of publishing this article. but some people found the first night scene between ZUHURA and MANIK humorous. also some didn’t like the extent of JIMMY crying on a beach when ZUHURA marries. tells me that was a bit too much. but hey, everyone reacts differently. that was how JIMMY reacted.  

director Fatthaah has cut short his shooting in Ha. Kelai and returned Male’ on an emergency. his 1 year old son has been admitted to hospital after burns (to what extent i don’t know) from a hot water thermous cracked on to his chest. his son’s condition is severe.

 

Fatthaah is scheduled to fly back to Ha. Kelai on coming Thursday, that is if his son is discharged from the hospital. Fatthaah will go back to Ha. Kelai with an actor who will be appearing for episodes 30 and onwards.

 

Fatthaah has also thought of sending back another high profile director to shoot in his absence. he has made talks with two directors and is awaiting their confirmation. but i have suggested him not to send any since only he can follow the characters and the plot line of the script. let’s see what he is going to do…
