Great post. Thank you for penning down the thoughts that must be in the mind of many in the forum regarding Dev and whole Dev-Sona-Ishwari angle.Dev is like , "chilling " , he's got this laid back attitude right now because he knows Sona isn't going any where , now that her engagement has broken and he also knows that after such an incident the possibility of another man entering Sona's life in near future is pretty much non-existent . So why the hurry ??
He is not a grown up adult man emotionally , he's this tendency of looking at the world and people around him , with a "me and my mom" glass. Unless he takes it off , he can't deeply fathom that he needs to do some thing , actually a lot of things , to redeem himself in the eyes of Sona and her family. Her family was never any of his concerns any way, so there's nothing new there.
Moreover , he doesn't even realize that he needs to redeem himself for his own self , to be free of guilt and have a clean conscience, simply because he isn't feeling guilty at all n nor is his sleeping conscience giving him any trouble , for all the shits he pulled ever since the moment of break up including the break up.
Yeah he does mouth dialogs like " I know I've done so many wrongs. " but when Sona points out those very wrong actions of his on his face , he always have that confused clueless and surprized shocked look on his face as if he doesn't know that he did some thing wrong !! Plus , he believes that neither he nor his mom really needs to do anything even if they were wrong , as simple sorry , that sounds as superficial and as shallow as they...well..as they really are, and a stupid bouquet of flowers are all that is needed , n even that sorry is always added as an after thought , only when he sees that Sona is in a fighting mood.
He knows and is confident that Sona is not going to reject him for long , since not so long ago the girl herself assured him, without him taking any steps at that time too , that she'll marry him in an instant , to hell with any one n her family ( self respect ??? Er.. what is that ?? ). Yes I know she meant it only if he goes against or with out his mom's approval n take a stand for their relationship , but Dev conveniently didn't realize that. Both mom and son are expert in conveniently ignoring bits of fact that makes them uncomfortable , ostrich strategy you see.
so in all this I'll blame Sona only, her pain is her own doing. She's this streak of masochism in her. She keeps going to him , when the conversation can be done as well over phone. Dev is not doing any thing to woo her back, but a part of her refuses to admit this and wants to convince herself that Dev is desperately wanting to get her back n so he's taking help of Ishwari. Poor girl !
Dev did say , " She's so angry with me that probably she won't ever forgive me. " but deep down he knows that's not the case.
He just looked tired and defeated in the office scene , almost as if he needs a long good sleep ( or may be Shaheer needs that ! ) and has reached a point of passivity n inertia becoz he doesn't know from where to begin.
He's ok with his mom going to Sonakshi to coax her , but he's not going to do so himself unless and until he sees his mother is getting rejected again n again by Sona n her family, only then he'll take action becoz can't see mom failing in some thing she's determined to get.
It's all about his mom being disappointed , which is some thing he can't bear.
It's fine if he disappoints Sona n Bose family a thousand times over.
That's Dev for you. Take it or leave it.
Had I been at Sona's place , I'd have definitely left it.
