Mishal Raheja
as Dutta
in
Blue Blood
Foreword: Throughout LTL. It had been the character of Dutta that had held my interest the most. He always stood out imposingly as and when held in comparison with others characters. I often thought was the attached importance to Dutta due to him being a male protagonist? Readily I equated certain stereotyped qualities of valour, honour and hardiness with him. Well those stereotyped attributes were soon enough challenged when to me it emerged as LTL progressed, that Dutta as a character was far from being the strong male figure emotionally. What was revealed that his strength lay in the fact that he was the strong, silent, disaffected young protagonist who was forced to embark on the path of criminality to offer his family a sound and secure life. All his crimes stood justified as a means to an end. Hence to me personally, it was his anti- hero qualities that loomed up and attracted me to him as a character. Frightening thought, but it was his erratic negativity that captivated me. In one word his so called rage! his temper tantrums! that created enough ructions that needed no persuasion to grip my attention. This prompted within me an odd longing to learn more about the underlying reasons that caused his rage? Also, as LTL progressed it was the interesting convergence of Dutta's few rude awakenings that amalgamated and become his one big weakness that contributed to the erosion of his personality, that fascinated me. His, subsequent trail and error; his eventual encounter with a person who supported him in his redemption was a progressive journey which to me seemed to have reached full circle. His bond with Nakusha that culminated in a marriage which was solemnized one too many times, his personality took many painful turns as he unleashed his fury on many close to him. On the contrary, there were moments where he made judgmental errors, became a victim of guile at the hands of close family, and yes his wrath surfaced eminently. This final section of the Dutta trilogy, is thus directed on Dutta's fatal flaw. The falling in itself is left ambiguous so that readers can draw their own conclusions.. regarding the defect that sets him and perhaps others around him ablaze!
#just saw the promo for " love's colour is pale" you know what I mean?.. missed my Dutta.. the actor was one with whom I personally could not relate yet.. Dutta has left deep imprints on my soul.. sigh! Why do I feel within myself this piece of writing may be for me .. and Dutta a swan song??
Nakusha I read your comment regarding Mishal in a new , fresh role that vouches for his versatility as an actor.. but I have to see the show, feel his new character ,to write about him.. till then it's Dutta.This trilogy is about Dutta and it will end on Dutta too...
Prologue
This story too like my previous writings revolves around an adult Dutta and touches briefly on various stages of his life. The title blue blood suggests, born in aristocracy. On the contrary, Dutta was just plain and simple Dutta nothing before or after his name...an orphan brought up in an abandoned children care centre.The centre came under governmental scrutiny for malpractices in care facilities and was up for closure. The local authority put up an advertisement where childless families were encouraged to adopt orphans with a view to offering them a chance to live with dignity amongst stable families. A Local philanthropist shri Ram Patil settled in Patilvadi, who already had one daughter, was chivvied by his wife Shakuntla devi to adopt an infant male child from the closing care home. he agreed as it came under the umbrella of a godly deed. The infant was named Dutta, and became the son the couple never had. Infant Dutta was the apple of his adopted older sister Kala's eye. As time went by, Shakuntala devi conceived one more time, and was blessed with a son, who was named Baji. By a cruel turn of fate shri Ram Patil died in a road mishap. All his estate was inherited by his next of kin, his wife Shakuntala devi. Nana Tavde was a local philanthropist and a close friend of the deceased Ram Patil. He was a widower and had a daughter called Seema, who grew up with his friend shri Ram Patil's three children. Shakuntla devi always desired that Seema would eventually marry her son Baji ,but Seema from the start was interested in Dutta.. Baji, however fancied a local florist called Roops. Nakusha, her friend was the owner of the small corner flower shop. Working environment was such that both girls formed a steady and sincere friendship with other Hamlet53~ 19th July 2015
NOW I am posting this promo when there are many Mishal die hard fans who are new to me as I am to them.. but I share Laagi thread's glory with them .. so for me here's to Dutta whom loyal fans loved! and to current fans who still write about the iconic character in FF's SS,and OS.. Shall we narrow it down to Mishal loyalty.. ?
