I do not want to care or comment but unable to stop myself.
I just got back from watching a late night film and against my better judgement caught today's episode.
What is going on in the minds of the makers? Why are they showing the hero so weak? She said no and all he does is look defeated and moisten his eyes. Even if he does not introspect on the reasons why is he not even determined to win her over?
His mother seems to be more determined and willing to romance Sona!!
And just to shift sympathy to the Dixit camp they made Sona suddenly callous in her engagement (inviting him, staring at him, dropping him home when he was drunk as though it was a calamity even though people get drunk every friday night, dumping Ritwik so badly etc. ) and Bijoy so crude in his behaviour with a composed Ish today. To add to that why does Sona who is rejecting the alliance have to visit Dev to tell him she is rejecting him???
It's like she is visiting him with some hope that he will stop her and woo her but all he does is look defeated, listen to her taunts and moisten his eyes...
I've given up on trying to make sense of this show now. Dev fell in my eyes in day before yesterday's episode. Happily skipping to Sonakshi's office without an iota of guilt or introspection was totally not expected. Just 10 mins back he was feeling ashamed of his behavior and as soon as Mommy said yes, everything vanished. It was as if he forgot what conspired the previous night.
Then comes yesterday. His totally giving up on trying to woo Sonakshi, forget about introspection or redemption. He doesn't even want to try to win her back. All of this makes me come to one conclusion. He doesn't mind being apart from Sonakshi, as long as she doesn't move on. The moment someone else comes into the picture, all hell breaks lose again.
I somehow don't even blame Ishwari after this. She is right in thinking of Dev's love as a zidd for a toy. Coz that's exactly what Sonakshi is to him. A toy. As long as the toy is sitting in the corner, untouched by anyone else, he is ok. As soon as another child expresses a desire in the toy, he loses his shit and throws tantrums, screams, cries, yells, breaks things till the other child gives up on the toy. Sonakshi is his property. "You are mine" were the words he used. He actually means them. He doesn't give two hoots about her feelings, her guilt, her emotions. Her family is not even a part of the equation according to him. Talk about butchering a character. I remember in the initial episodes, Dev used to hurt Sonakshi, but he immediately realized his mistakes, mostly without Ishwari's proding, and would apologize or make it up to her. With flowers, heart felt notes, trips to her house and what not. Where is that Dev Dixit?
The CVs are taking Sonakshi's character for a ride as well. Her total and utter confusion about what she wants is baffling. I thought she was quite clear that she wants to marry Dev, the man and not Dev, Ishwari's son. But now, even I have my doubts as to what she wants. If Bijoy is ok with their alliance, will she forget everything else and rush back into Dev's waiting arms?
I don't feel Ishwari is wrong now. If Dev can't fight for his love and keeps behaving in this manner, she isn't wrong to assume that his wanting Sonakshi is akin to wanting a toy.
They are trying to make the audience sympathize with Dev and Ishwari by making Bijoy and Sona shout on them. Wow. What a way to redemption.
Dev's defeated "Toh fir maan kyu nai jaati tum?" extinguished all my hopes of a redemption.
Sorry for the long-ass reply. I have not been commenting on any posts and seeing your reply, I just couldn't stop myself.
