And Imagine... I started to write this topic yesterday, but could not find a worthwhile adjective yesterday...and I couldnot have written this one without him...If Mohit Excelled then Saurabh Surf Excelled😆...He not only managed to balance the world again..he just did a mega dhulai of Dakshu's Ahankar...Only Vishnu...Only he can find a way to slip out of the Vardaan he gave to Daksh...Not because he wanted to ..but because he thought that his boon was not worth sticking to when it came to the destruction of the world because of it...
And ofcourse, Mahadev, the one this thread is dedicated to...you can see why he is Bhola Mahadev..his anger...his angst, his heartbreak, his pain, the torments that he was going through, the way his heart was cutting into several pieces each moment, his utter wretchedness at not being able to save Sati, the utter hopelessness the utter loneliness that he was seeing..his bleak future...after being lonely for centuries, his heart had again flowered, accepting happiness as his own and not being happy only with the world's happiness, tried to accept that he too had a right to love, love a person who was made and was there for him, and loved him as him...not as the God who gave boons and was too good for his own good...and suddenly that woman had been taken away from him, by her own father..who had brought her into the World for Mahadev, and the world, He seemed to be cut off from, yet cared so much, had abandoned him and aligned with the man who had just destroyed his world...
Somehow this is doesnot make sense to him, the sense of being wronged, and the injustice of it all..the selfish world who had been jumping up and down to get him married, is not even bothered with the consequences of its own deed, and he suddenly has to bear the fruit of it all,,,
The scorned Lover is now ready to set that world on fire...
The world who let his Sati burn in fire had no right to live.. (I wish they would switch to the word 'Sansar' from' Srushti' ka Vinaash😛 I get a bit jittery then😆)
And on the other Side, Vishnu..who is ready to sacrifice his devotee(Favourite too..😛...Vishnuji ki taang khinchai!) for the world...
The way he tries everything..Saam, Daam, Dand , Bhed!! He tries to convince Daksh...when he does not..he does go out to stop Veerbhadra...
And hats off to Mohit for portraying Veerbhadra..the way he talks to Vishnu...with utter anguish on his face..requesting him not to put him in that dilemma ...and also reprimanding him...not to take the side of Adharma...
And Vishnuji's helplessness as to having to fight with him..the way he almost lovingly binds Veerbhadra...as if apologizing to Mahadev in that very action...
And the way he then gives up when Bhadrakali arrives..
the way he reprimands Daksha and tells him that he was duty bounden to protect him, and not his life...Aha...frankly I didnot understand this logic of his..but still...he is the most wisest of God..for the sake of his Vardaan to an egoist maniac, he would not have risked the welfare of the world..he owed a bigger promise to the world...
The way he leaves Daksha with an only option and warns him about the inevitable..awesome...and then as he goes to manao Mahadev...
You know..I love the chemistry between the two...Both address Brahma as Brahmadev..but each other as Bhagvan...Mahadev or Narayan...something is so intimate about that..the way they have respect for each other and how they justify each other's actions, read each other's mind...it is just too awesome...
This one shot appealed to me so much..as if Vishnujii is reading and feeling his pain..The soft voice he uses with Mahadev, is unique...(And kudos to Saurabh Jain for this)
The way he lets the Devas toil first!! to be punished for their selfishness and make them grovel for apology...Then Brahma with his death wish..(Ok so no offence to Brahmaji...but what would Mahadev with your four heads😕)
and then he almost silently participates in the disgust that Mahadev shows towards the Devtas...
and then calmly, and yet with so much of pain and torment...
He approaches the reason for this destruction.(and I dont mean otherwise..please dont take it like I am blaming Sati for this)..and apparently the forgotten one in this whole mad destruction!
Sati...Sati's body...and thereby ..making Mahadev vent out his feelings..the cry of pain that he gives in the end..was so necessary to take out that hatred and anguish...to stop the destruction!!!
Oh...and the way Mahadev breaks ..only that one word..her name...was enough to break him..to bring him out of that Vengeance mode ..
And boy..the way he realizes...
and completely loses his senses..the man who was ready to burn the world just a second ago..now looks like he has no clue what is going around him..totally helpless, broken😭
Gosh!! What an episode..
To the DKDM creatives...I bow down to you guys...special mention to Surinderji...only you could have made Daksh so possible,..we will miss you!!!
