episodes 28 to 32 of HINITHUNVELAASHEY KALAA will be dispatched to director FATHHAAH. the dispatch will be sent via the 2 actors introduced in episodes 30 to 32 who will be joining cast and crew of the serial tomorrow.

 

fatthaah who had to cancel most of his outdoor shooting last week was upbeat yesterday. he wrapped up several exterior scenes since the weather was kind on him

am set to rewrite a screenplay written by famous writer IBRAHIM WAHEED (BIMMAA). i have read the first 6 scenes of the screenplay which contains a total of 78 scenes. IBRAHIM WAHEED presented this screenplay free of charge to the head of creative department of B/W Productions, MOHAMED SHAREEF. 

 

this project will go behind the camera to be directed by SHAREEF himself under the B/W banner. since B/W have consiladated funding for this project from a local producer, this will be a joint production between B/W and the company of the producer. as you might have guessed, the producer and his production company are undisclosed here for several reason which i cannot disclose. oh my!

 

the story revolves around a photographer who develops a psychotic infatuation towards a newly married woman who comes to a wedding shooting at his studio, with her husband!

dear Ss

 

thank you for your very constructive comments. improves my writing and best of all identifies the areas am weak at. i assure you that that i will consider the ideas you have given me. thanks again and keep those comments coming.

 

as for your million dollar question on when i am going to direct just anything, am sorry to tell you that right now i am commited to several writing projects. hopefully, once am done with these projects i will start thinking on directing. i know my answer is disappointing but just bear with me like you have bore through my ultra corny dialogues and unbelievable events taking place in those serials i have written.

 

thanks again for the comments

 

 

last night at 2020 hrs sharp i completed episode 32 on a sad note, not on my part i mean… story wise that is. as for me, am feeling free. but that will be for a short while before i start working on the final 20 episodes. that will happen once director abdul fatthaah returns from kelai hopefully after wrapping up shooting for all 32 episodes.

 

episode 32 ends when, sorry i couldn’t tell regardless of how much tempted i am to give all the details. as mentioned earlier 32 ends on a sad and depressing note. thats for sure!

 

fatthaah reported from on location that  a major two part dramatic scene was shot yesterday. he guaranteed that he squeezed the acting chops out of every actor involved in that scene and he is satisfied.

yes! am down to 1 more episode to finish off the story in Kelai. however, the final 20 episodes will take place in Male’. director fatthaah who has finished reading up to episode 27 says that he is more than satisfied. but he wants me not to fill scenes with too many extras. so don’t blame if the feel of some scenes turn too dull once the serial is aired on TVM at the end of JULY.

 

the final 2 scenes of episode 31 is a re-enactment of one of the most famous historical event of maldivian history. an event that really took place long time back between maldivian warrior mohamed thankurufaanu and his wife to be, faathuma. okay, stop! am going overboard portraying the entire scene. but i am in love with those two scenes. hope its translated to screen just the way i have visualized. i have faith in director fatthaah.

 

two new characters have been added to episode 30. these two characters will play a major part till the end of 52 episodes. sorry, i don’t feel like disclosing who they are.

 

 

 

  

episode 7 of KURAMEY VADHAA’EE SALAAM was aired on TVM last night. the only remark was on the dialog used, again! this time the phone call scene between ZUHURA and JIMMY sound too corny especially the monologue of jimmy where he says that zuhura is his sun, moon, stars, 365 days, 12 months, 7 days, 24 hours and so on. my god! did i really write that? that’s a tad too much even for corny. guess i could have finished the whole episode with that scene where jimmy can compare zuhura to as many things he could think of, like she is the chip in his mobile phone or she is the motherboard of his computer… or whatever!

  

episode 29 starts with a sensational twist in Fazu’s character (played by Afee). a twist that affects her character arc drastically, which is crucial in the last 20 episodes of the entire serial.

 

final scene of episode 27 and opening scene of episode 28 are emotionally charged and calls for great acting chops from Hajja and Manik respectively. one thing i know is that their performances are going to be either above or below par. thats for sure! 

episode 6 of KURAMEY VADHAA’EE SALAAM was aired last night. some found it a bit slow while others liked it. one commented on the dialogue delivered by 4 year old NATHA being unrealistic for a child of that age. is my writing that bad, i wonder? hope the remaining 7 episodes turn out to be engaging. otherwise i may have to think of a career change!

episdoe 27 ends on a heart breaking note when INA played by Hajja, wait a minute? should i be giving away the ending? serial director fatthaah will sue me for this. so i guess i shouldn’t be complicating life for fatthaah or myself. anyway, the final scene of this episode is going to be a real treat for the tear gland, i hope. and the scene demands to felx acting muscles of Hajja. all the episodes written so far depend on her acting as her character character changes from tomboy to a weeping mother. am i saying too much about the serial? or will i be facing a lawsuit? i say no more! 

26 episodes of HINITHUVELAASHEY KALAA has been completed. but the final 10 episodes of the 32 episodes to be written for the island are turning out to be the hardest to write because the style has gone from comedy to melodrama. maybe am still feeling comic from writing the first 22 episodes. who knows?
