Apparently, Randeep suggested that he should wear a scar to bring out the contrast between Veera and Mahabir more.

Imtiaz completely put his foot down at the mention of any kind of scarring. 😆

Just wondering, when Mahabir said he has killed three people - 2 seem to be clear, however, the third person - could that actually be his mom? even though he did mention that his ammaa is in gaon...what if that was a cover up to answer veera...? what if he actually killed his mother, to free her from the emotional and physical torture?

or was he talking abt himself as the third person who died?🤓

ahh the closing shot is just not leaving me as yet...😳

Me loves rockstar music more than highway as a standalone album..but the placement of songs of highway in the movie and the overall effect left by the songs in the movie and the movie on the songs - is way way way way better than rockstar⭐️

He was talking about himself.

That was why he said that - Ek goli se do log marte hain..

I like how that review picked up on it.

He was already a dead man even before the movie started.

This line reminded me of Sonam Kapoor for some reason😆

It was definitely not himself coz he said 3 murder charges..I too thought it was his mum..I wish they'd shown Alia going to his village to meet his mother to clear the air..

Too much story telling going on in my head but this is the version I came up in my head..his dad kills the mum..and he kills the dad..so the charge of both murders fall on him..I like this version a lot even if it is cliched😆

^^ He did not say murder charges though, did he?

He said, "teen khoon kiye hain maine..".

Maybe he actually did kill his mother and that was why his mommy issues were so obvious. Perhaps he wanted to free his mother from the world. And he wants to convince himself that his mother lives. That was why he did not say it out loud. Because as long as he does not say it, it's not true.

He wanted to protect his mother from the world, the same way he was furious when Adoo tries to molest Veera. In his mind, Veera and his mother became interchangeable.

Damn you Imtiaz Ali. 😡 What have you done to me?

Yes..but to me the dialogue conveyed physical deaths..not just the death of a soul..

I think he says he killed her because he couldn't save her..To protect her he could just have killed his father and the bade saab..I still think she was murdered by either of those two and to avenge her death he killed them! or maybe she committed suicide..yeah! that makes more sense

I can not see Mahabir killing her with his hands..will ruin his character for me

Yes, that.

I also don't think he killed his mother. I was just trying to speculate a bit. 😆

This movie screws with your head or what?

Anyway, perhaps his mother was molested by more than one man.Because he explicitly gestures to a collective whole.Not one particular "bade Saab".So, that may also add to the body count.

I also don't mind if he killed his mother.

I understand why he would have done it. But that is not likely, given the fact that he is the protective kind. In his mind, I feel, he convinced himself that he was to blame for his mother's spiritual death, because he could not do anything. The famous, "Onnay je kore aar onnay je sohe.." from Tagore.

I have a feeling that he may also gesture to the spiritual death of his mother. Perhaps, his mother is just alive, but does not really live. That happens to rape victims. He feels that he has contributed to that symbolic death. And it came out of him in anger- he knows that his mother is as good as dead. Yes, he will not speak of his own death, but maybe he is talking about his mother's symbolic death. And as Alia says at the end, " Main jaa chuki ho.." He also knows that his mother has left.

So this is my interpretation-the bade saab is one man and not a group and he extrapolates it to the entire upper strata of the society..There is ONE particular zamindar who would take away his mother to satiate his needs(this BTW is an age old practice🤢)..and his father added to her miseries..

BTW your replies are really thought provoking..I'm just the stubborn types😆
