The speech started of as Ishwari's own experience and the sense of fulfillment that motherhood gives. Very true.. and I could emotionally connect to the dialogues to some extent but it soon drifted of to generalizing everything about each and every mother. I specially did not like the Vanvaas analogy, her saying, maa piche reh jati hai, asal zindagi me kaushalya vanwaas jati hai.
I felt she was trying to convey that when a child is punished /suffers the mothers suffers as well .When Lord Rama was asked to go to Vanwaas , a mother suffered by staying away from her son.In a way she was saying how for a mother her children are her universe .
She never meant Dev left her .
..You know this is the reality of many sects in the society, but this coming from Ishwari whose son has given up even his life once to make Ishwari happy.. And the boy did not even complain of it. .He makes sure Ishwari's blessings are always with him..did not make sense to me.
He is made to take guilt trips again and again and this speech, on his birthday need not include the fact that children abandon their moms, when clearly Dev is not of that category, inspite of mom's world being their children and lastly adding the line 'Mera dev aisa nahi hai" was just emotional manipulation further.
She started her speech by sharing her story but later made some generalized statement about how some sons treat their parents and at the last she was proud that her son is different .Like you said Dev has given up his happiness for his mother and she acknowledged it .That's my interpretation .
This is how I saw it, the emotional manipulation may not be intentionally done...but it was done. Plus the Mama's boy line was an indication that she doesn't really care if people look down upon her and Dev's bond and she is proud of it and it is beyond understanding for Sonakshi. And also that they are unique.
Sonakshi was not right either when she made that comment .When Dev was apologizing , there was no need to bring that up .She sounded bitter and she could have avoided this taunting at least on his birthday
For Ishwari , her relationship with Dev is natural and she does not realize her insecurities .It looked more like a hurt mother speaking rather than a taunt .
Yyy, you said Ishwari is not a bad mother just insecure. I say Ishwari is a good mother if you take out the insecurities. Whatever she has done knowingly or unknowingly, in the name of her insecurities, does not fall in the category of a good mother.
Bijoy was a little too much, I won't deny, by openly insulting the dixits like this but I felt this was much needed for Dev to wake up a little to handle the situation immediately and bring in practice what he corrected in his mind. Bijoy has always been impulsive and later all this was brushed aside as a joke. And Bijoy was hurt that his wife was hurt. I liked how, even if his way was wrong, he did not take it silently.
That's the problem i have with Bijoy. His approach is totally wrong even if his intentions are right and what makes it worse is his double standards .He has different set of rules for his family and others .He encourages his daughter to change his SIL but cannot handle if his daughter wants to change for her husband .He cannot stop praising his daughter but cannot appreciate his son's genuine effort .
In this whole situation , Dev came across as a sensible person to me than Bijoy .He could have got offended with Bijoy and could have just brushed it off as a joke instead of apologizing but he realized his mistake .Dev handled the situation better than Bijoy here (for me)
I would support Bijoy if tomorrow he supports others if they follow the same approach to correct his daughter's mistake.š³
This speech would have a different impact had it been from Asha or even from Dev for ish, because for him his mother is the best.
Now even a genuine gesture from Dev towards Ish will not be accepted easily and will be considered as something against Sona.
I am sure if the speech was from Asha then people would have accepted it with open mind š³
Ishwari's speech had no impact on me as a viewer, it did not have real emotions just words.
