I have been one of the staunchest critics of Kaajal, but oday i'm glad i saw the show. The last part was a piece of consummate acting by Apu.
For those who missed it, Dev is lying dead drunk on the floor. Kaajal comes to revive him. Suddenly he rises as if he has seen an apparition, gazes hungrily at Kaajal, and whispers, "Where were you all this while...i love you...only you.....and hugs her!"
From what i can infer, he was seeing not Kaajal but the ghost of his lost love before him. Seems things are getting interesting...i would love to know about Dev's past, provided it is played by some decent actress who can carry off that role. I might just start watching regularly then.....
What stood out today was Apu's awesome performance. The desolation on his face was somthing i had not even seen in Armaan's most hopeless phase....except maybe for the scene where he attempts to destroy himself after Jassi leaves him, and Mallika brings him home. Someone once said here that Apu in Kaajal seems to be staring at something that is not there in front of him. Today, he used that look to full effect. It was so beautifully evident that he was looking right through Kaajal to someone who haunted him still. For the first time, i felt for Dev. Hats off Apu!đ
