Dear Suja di, The night we got to read your OS, there was some commotion in my head... I wondered how are they going to talk, they will talk, that is a must... but how? what sequences can be used? How will Dev meet Soha? What will his reaction be? Will he get angry at Sonakshi? Or is he going to be shattered seeing what he lost while he thought it is fine to move on? Lots of things in my mind and mostly-How it may be presented to us...?😕
Your OS came to me like the answers to those questions, mostly like a fresh respite... Thankfully...👏
Now coming step by step into your story:
I don't understand, should I be blaming this guy for all the lost years, because he could not stand up in the moment of need, or I should be sympathetically standing by his side like always because this guy is suffering again and long from years, with little to huge faults of his, and sometimes no fault of his...
I am not saying that Dev wasn't at fault, my sole reason for the sympathies is the backing family that Sonakshi got, and Dev never had... A support, a reason to live is a way easier means to survive... Sonakshi had her family, plus her daughter... Who did Dev have? Golu? Is that it for being able to survive the hugest losses of your life?
Him showing a facade of a rude, mannerless, and a jerk guy is a but obvious for me, and thus, the opening of your OS was a more reality to imagine than to say that man was sprawled insolently on a chair in front of the policeman... The arrogance is a must in his demeanor, and he is justifying it...
Him turning towards the hotel as a ball of fire, well, he wasn't actually interfering into her privacy, and the words Obhodro and Mumma's boy had triggered the same pain in him... The point where Sonakshi broke the thread of their strained love with her bare hands and had moved out... The wounds are still fresh... A confrontation was a must...
But whoa! What did he see or rather whom did he meet inside?
The moment he came to know it must be him, who is the father of that beautiful little girl; in the back of my mind, there came a visual of ice cold water splashing on a red hot furnace... "Beti wo hawa hai, jo mere gusse ko hawa kar deti hai..." ie. Daughter is the breeze that vanishes my anger into thin air... Same was the case with Dev... Who came like a ball of fire walked out as a statue of ice... Cold and frigid...
THEN COMES THE CONFRONTATION NO.1: Dev and Sonakshi's first conversation!
Honestly, I had thought a lot about their first confrontation, but trust me when I say, that I could not conjure up even 10% of the intensity what you have given to their conversation...
What dialogues, what setting and what effects...
I had so wanted Dev to get really angry with Sonakshi for hiding the truth about their daughter... Because as much as I thought again and again, for me nothing justifies the fact that Soha wasn't only her own daughter, she was Dev's as well... They separated for their individual self-respect "MY" was their issue... But Soha wasn't a property/commodity to be possessed by just a mother or a father... She should have been loved by her parents...
Comes the justification from Sonakshi's side as well: You didn't want to have any responsibility of any child in case of divorce as you stated in the prenup... FAIR ENOUGH!
But, was that guy anywhere at fault? Did he even know about such a clause? He hadn't even heard all this from his lawyer back then... Okay, it was all Ishwari's fault... But, should that guy be punished so lethally for believing on people, to suffer the loss of his own child's childhood? I don't think so, nature, fate or whatever cannot be so repeatedly cruel to a guy, who had no fault to the limit of seeing all this...
And here, it calls for a further part in this story, to justify the partiality of fate done to this poor guy, who lost everything in providing for everyone's happiness, you can't do this to us!😭
NOW COMES CONFRONTATION NO.:2-- Dev and Ishwari face to face!
Honestly speaking, Ishwari has lost the entire charm for me, she has become as good as a background Junior Artist that nobody notices... Now even if Dev breaks the entire relationship with her, or puts the entire blame for his failed marriage to her, or leaves the house forever, or anything that pleases the sore eyes; I don't give a damn, or care two hoots about Ishwari's character... A woman who repents none in the right time; is long forgotten... Seven years and no introspection-- Forget it lady, not your forte... Please shut yourself in that damn room forever... You can never change... A hopeless character.
AND ON THE CLOSING NOTE: Can we Talk?
Frankly, this should have ideally been done on the separation night only... Both of you wouldn't have missed the blissful period both of these went through in solitude and gloominess...
Now it sounds more like the daughter is the reason for the talk... Shouldn't have it been the love for each other, the sparks that are still smoldering under the ashes of your separation?
Don't these two love each other anymore? Is it only a compromise that is laid on the foundation of giving a better life to that kid and nothing more?
My questions need an answer di, can we have a continution to this to see why he wants to talk?
Can I be proved wrong, pretty please?
please? please? please?
I hope I didn't make you yawn at this ajeeb o gareeb review of mine... If I did, Gareeb ki beti ko maaf kar deejiye Jeeji...
PS: Right since the breakup and separation happened, I am not able to justify any one of the two leads, Dev and Sonakshi... If Sonakshi had to bear all the brunt and had to keep on sacrificing and adjusting, Dev was not partying either... I cannot understand why sometimes he is shown in a light of being a total loafer, drunkard, and a loose charactered bas***d. Just because a person has a false facade, doesn't mean that person was wrong all the way wrong... I have been equally blaming and equally defending both of them, NO MATTER WHAT... (This was my thoughts from the show)
