Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (BVS) have always been an integral and inherent part in the day-to-day affairs of almost every Hindu living in the planet sans the atheists. Whether they had really lived or not is an iron strong bone of contention that is entirely dependent on the conviction of faith of an individual. Every person is unique as does every situation. So, as how I see it, the absence of evidence for any event, place or person does not mean it did not happen. Likewise, the presence of evidence is no concrete proof that the event had actually happened. In the current world of photoshop and other advanced softwares in the market, it can make and take even a laity to quickly sift through the 'Help' to create artificial yet ostensibly genuine morphs according to their own whims and fancies. However, what is not indisputable, as per the Vedas, Sastras and Puranas, is the fact that Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva had their roles clearly defined as the Creator, Protector and Destroyer of the world. The three men knew exactly what they need to accomplish for the benefit of mankind and executed their objectives to perfection by overlooking their own self-interests in the process. How does the Hindu Holy Trinity fit in the context of an Mototainment Show?
Just like BVS, Clarkson, May and Hammond proves to be perfect foil for each other by continuing in their complementary and rock solid skillsets from The Top Gear into the GT as well. Take for example. The Beach Buggy adventure where they had to traverse the harsh desert terrains of Namibia which was akin to their Patagonian exploits in the Top Gear but only on a much more lively, spirited, dashing in terms of narrative and exciting piece of action in the GT. The show also had its elements of 'cheap thrills' like placing 'crocodile zone' boards in one of the episodes when basic common sense mandated that the 3 fine gentlemen wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to cut across the winch in their cars with the scaly and terrifying crocs floating below silently.
Also, the presence of beautiful cars as Bugatti Chiron, Bentley, Rolls Royce etc. were captured splendidly in the 4K format. It was such an eye-candy that certain picturesque sceneries like the German landscape deserved to be IMAXed! The drifts, donuts, special ops training, battleship game to name a few made me wonder as to how many takes and retakes would have gone into making the film to its immense fruition.
Not to mention the barrage of information during their chinwags in the "Conversation Street" was an eye-opener especially the segment concerning the Ford-Ferrari partnership. Ever since it was highlighted by the trio in their roomy tent, I wondered what might have probably happened had the Prancing Pony agreed to Ford's terms. It would have been a different matter altogether and History may have been rewritten in some other way. Any way, one important thing that caught my eye was that there was always a good-looking woman just behind Clarkson's shoulders whenever the camera focussed him during their friendly banter and plenty of repartees in the "Conversation Street"!
You know when "Celebrity Brain Crash" segment fluidly slips into the programme that the mentioned icon will somehow fail to reach the destination place and the hosts had to resort to their Plan B which was utterly humorous like the way Hammond played a sensor. In a nutshell, The Grand Tour was a complete package replete with action, fun, entertainment and informative courtesy the drei performers who I am pretty much certain would have been insured lump sum by Amazon for their calculated daring escapades.
As May rightly points out every time "Does it mean he will not be coming over" whenever a celebrity meets a ghastly end, I bid adieu to a wonderful Season 1 with a heavy heart now but wait with intense anticipation of how great the next season will be when it airs later in the year.
