Hemadi, you are as rare as your Apurva...
Today, as I watched the episode, I couldn't find the words to praise him...and now, as I read your post, I can't find the words to praise you.
I think this is your best analysis to date...I have no idea how you so easily saw through your Dev...I didn't even see it, but you saw that he sent Kaajjal away not only b/c he has had enough, but also b/c he promised his mother he'd take care of her...you're absolutley right...I don't know how I missed it...
And I am right there with you - I want Dev to be more ruthless than before as well...he has every right to be...he's been let down twice now in life...and the second time, it was his own love that took away his ray of hope. He has every right to take revenge in any way he wants.
As for Kaajjal - I want her to stay away from my Devu...she doesn't deserve his love...she's not at all worthy of it.
And today, your Apurva baffled me with his performance....but I am in no place to say anything about him b/c I know I can't do him any justice. He's above and beyond it all...
Wonderful post Hemadi...
Love,
