Hi everyone! I am sorry I could not like or present my thoughts. It is my graduation year and last couple weeks are extremely hectic. I still am ghost reading without logging on, as my phone is ancient and IF does not work really work logging on. So please take this as a 10^(infinity) like from me for everyone writing here.
I am absolutely in love with Dev Dixit character since day 1 as it models my character. From the not believing in god to the emotional guilt manipulation I can relate with him as a character extremely well. Today's episode was superb in terms of everything, and as a slightly GM point ( I am still 17) I want the same drooling of Sona with Dev so I can drool as well. 😳
But I had a different perspective, as much as people are celebrating the change in Devrath Dixit I loved how he stayed constant. I loved how he still thought about people, and stayed true to his character of thinking people above himself. I loved how he equips people rather than awards them. With the whole "memsaahab" fiasco, I feel more people would have gotten them settled and offered them money rather than offering a job or an opportunity to prove themselves. The thank you gift as a dinner also reiterates that, versus a valuable gift. His small gestures, like picking up Sonakshi's skirt or helping Asha with tea, highlights his attitude.
For sometime now a lot of y'all have discussed the aspect of Dev's divinity. I personally don't really believe in any deity, for me, what epics or stories or chants say can be adopted without affirming a god's existence. Like Dev, events in my life have also caused me to lose belief in god as well. I believe my family's belief should be respected so I don't disregard any religious things but I don't really believe. For a guy to break down completly and only hope in something he does not believe in, is tough. When my mother had a serious accident was the only time I broke down in front of a deity, and believe me it was hard telling myself that god will take care not you.
Today Sonakshi also said something that was talked about in this thread and even something I said as well (writers are watching!). Devakshi believed their relationship was enough to sustain all turbulence and forgot the fundamental aspect of their relationship in hopes to join other relationships. Before their relationship got footing, they ignored it and went to other relationships.
This flaw is what broke their relationship. I feel any relationship/ responsibility is like clay, it first has to be prepped and modeled ( which was done for Devakshi) but it must settle and dry as well (which was not done). Since the clay was not dry, the slightest push crumpled the clay completely.
I think the flaws of the characters are key. During the camp scene when Devakshi got hurt, their injuries were their flaws. Sonakshi was more self inflicted, she did not trust others if she was not exposed to the decision making and doubted the way Dev said to go, as she had no idea. Her injury caused collapsing pain, but was internal not something easily visible. If someone is doubting, most people do not see that as a weakness but it can cripple them. Contrastingly, Dev's injury happened because of an unfair external force (Destiny). But his crippling injury happened in his hands, he voluntarily went and expanded his flaw to cripple him in an already vulnerable state. He lost though he was leading. Because of his hands, his flaw became visible to the world and people can show his flaw.
Wow, I did not expect this to be this long, I am sorry for the essay I am putting here. Instead of Hamlet or Oedipus literary analysis I should do a Dev character analysis, I would ace English 4 AP then, sigh I can only hope...
