I know a lot of us are rightly furious with Raghu and his tirades against Antara and it does get a little bit repetitive. But we do have to appreciate the character development, a character like Raghu does not change overnight, just because he likes someone(I am not going to say hes in love because hes yet to realise what his feelings for Antara are) like Gagan pointed.
Raghu is treading a path of feeling something for Antara where he's worried about her and on the other hand, these emotions are something he's unable to control. What I have understood from Raghu's character so far is that one incident in his childhood where he loses his mother was the last time he felt helpless and not in control of the situation, otherwise hes honed himself into this ruthless gangster who's always in control of himself.
But when it comes to Antara, all logic, control everything goes out of the window and he has no clue how to stop it. He vents out all his frustrations on her. I mean come to think of it, theres no need for him to be so furious about the sound of the ghunghroo but right now thats the one excuse he can hang onto to explain all his bewildered feelings.
Even the beautiful scene with the harmonica in the church, hes rightly uncomfortable hearing all this praise from Antara. He's unsure of how to react, I definitely did not expect him to tell her because that would be against his character because , for him it will be like admitting to a sort of weakness to Antara. The scene was beautifully staged, with the backdrop of the beautiful lit candles and Antara admitting that she gets peace from him.
Thoughts?
