As much as I like Dilsher's character, there are times I feel like giving him memory plus capsules. What's with this whole shoving down of YRF and Sooraj Barjatya films through Rudra's throat? Now, that you have grown old, calmed down with age and experience, now, that you have seen Paro and how she is under Rudra's skin , you are dreaming of their fairytale and grandkids. FAIR ENOUGH. But what about all the damage, the psychological and emotional cruelty that you have done to Rudra since his childhood? The very you who replaced the blood in his veins with misogynist poison day and night till he turned into a full grown man , now that you wants Rudra to love, marry and respect a woman? Oh boy! How layered human-beings can be? They sow opium and expect mangoes to grow out of them as they mature.
Rudra's hateful speech to his father when Dilsher tells him to get married reflects and forewarns of the gall that will come raining on Paro in the future. I don't know why Maya ran away , I don't know what to make of Dilsher's pain and agony - but what i do see is a ruined and empty man who was fed poison , and now, he only understands the impact of that poison. The way Rudra sends the message across to his father, you can see that Rudra sees himself as someone incapable of loving a woman - and that is the reason he refuses to get married. When he looks at women, he only remembers his mother and the daily misogynous dose of venom for 15 years. He hates his life because its filled with hatred that came from his own parents.
The worst part is that its not Dilsher or Maya who will bear the brunt of their handiwork on Rudra. All the damage that they have done to Rudra will come crashing down on Paro. Paro, who has done nothing to harm Rudra , will stand in the line of fire and suffer the impact of the opium that Dilsher and Maya have sown.
And when you look at it in expanse, Rudra's parents destroyed him and after 15 years , their commendable work on Rudra , will put Paro into suffering.
Dilsher has no right to think of Rudra's happiness or to think of Paro as "Retirement Roti" (Serial Junkie) because he didn't even once think of all this when he gave a small boy a PhD in Misogyny.
