Angie ... I actually think the show is getting interesting but since a lot of people watch the show for Dev, they have to show us where they are going with this
Dev could be either acting out of extreme self righteousness (very true to his character) ... and what he did today was to ensure that the person he had promised he would look after would be taken care of. Also, I think he has a right to be upset with his family ... how could they suspect his motives and publicly humiliate him when they know what he had to do to get married to Rads ... and that his intentions are pure
Or he could be crafty and be waiting for all this to play out
Either way, I think it will be good to have a stronger and wiser Dev back ... I will give it a few weeks before I panic that this is going the way of other shows
What struck me today was how quickly vish had forgotten that rads had jumped in to rescue her, hid her in the store room even though her reputation was at risk, etc ... she now thinks dev is her savior and forgot abt all the other times when rads helped her out
I am curious as to what Mrin has planned ... and am waiting for it to fail
Rajsri, I agree that Dev can be extremely self righteous and as Misti pointed out the creatives do everything in parallel. So, now Dev is like Radhika and Radhika is not exactly like Dev but is becoming stronger. Also, Dev fought for Radhika last year and now it is Radhika's turn as we all wanted. But, still don't want to see dumb Dev.
Agree that Dadi was wrong in robbing him of his RP duties. Just because he gave asylum to somebody Dadi doesn't like, it doesn't mean that she should take away his rights. But, Dev is also acting very self-centered in expecting everyone to just forgive Vishaka and take care of her.
As far as Vishaka is concerned, she is acting true to her character. She only looks at the current situation. Radhika helping her is no big deal for her as it has been drilled in her by Amma that Radhika's duty is do that in exchange for getting a house with Vishaka's family. So, she will never give credit to Radhika for too long. Dev is the new toy that she wants to have and she will do anything to get him. Radhika alluded to this last year and told Dev that she won't be able to return him back as he is not a toy that was given to her by Vishaka. Dev doesn't understand it, but Radhika does. So, looking forward to Radhika putting Vishaka in her place.
Mrin is becoming interesting and I liked her interactions with everyone today. I prefer this cunning Mrin to the shrill Mrin. Would like to see Vivek finding about her schemes and putting her in her rightful place.
Even though I started watching it for Radhika and still root for her, Dev has become an important character as he was so strong and able to stand up to anyone and everyone. Now, it is hard to see this Dev who can't even see through Mrin. But, maybe he is acting and as Radhika says that he will be back to his normal self after the HM. He can still give shelter to Vishaka but be more reasonable. Also, maybe Mrin actions would result in him almost losing Radhika and that would definitely jolt him out of his blues.
