Exactly Neerja! This film, a 50 yr old one at that, is so progressive. But these people in 2011 made Dev such a coward? Why? Do actually people in 2011 object to this kind of marriage?
What makes a Good RPtian? Only the fact that she is an untouched woman, a pure woman? In Dev's nightmare he imagined people saying, that if a RP married such a characterless girl how will he lead the society? Why can't he? Didn't Dev have the guts to explain his stance? Wouldn't it have been better to show Dev as a true leader who brings about some reform?
His character took a decision based on his fear. If seen in a positive manner, whatever they showed did make some justice. But my main glitch -- why make Dev weak and scared? He was scared that now people would insult Rads and he would lose his sole support, Rads, who was against his belief! My main grunt against this track is that they brought down RaDev heavily! They both were given wrong ideas. I am damn sure, if Rads hadn't been so strong in her own belief, then Dev wouldn't have fallen weak either!
Society would keep pointing at every silly thing...but until someone doesn't come up to reform it, how will the society's outlook change? We wanted to see Dev standing strong despite all oppositions and asking if it would be right on his part to leave his wife? Would he be a truthful RP leader? People would scream, throw stones at him and ask him to step down. But can't he for once try to change the society. What are leaders for? Just for sitting and taking advantages of luxuries? In that case, Virat or Rohan can easily handle this post.
A RP needs to be a strong man who can withstand any situation and try to bring reforms in the society, try to preserve the righteousness in the society! Dev unfortunately failed because of his weakness!
Thanks a bunch Neerja for this beautiful song!
