I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but there are so many Devdas references and connections in Kasautii this time. Firstly, the whole show began with a Durga Ma pandal and everyone in really traditional Bengali attire and really showcasing the culture. Then every time Prerna runs dramatically from the first floor downstairs to go to Anurag, always in distress, they play the tune from the movie that they played whenever Paro ran toward Devdas. They also play that tune with the cracking whip sound during key moments of the show where Anurag is getting separated from Prerna like today at the wedding scene. Also the public humiliation of Prerna and her subsequently cursing him and separation of the male and female leads is VERY similar to what happened in Devdas. Also they played Hamesha Tumko Chaha when Anurag was getting Prerna dressed for her wedding which is an exact copy of the scene from the movie too. The only sad part about the connection is that we all know Devdas is about the two leads never being together, a class difference just like AnuPre has and they even have a second woman who loves the male lead so much but who never gets his love in return and the movie ends in the male lead's death. I so so hope that Ekta's inspiration from Devdas ends at whatever few references she's made so far because I don't want to see our beloved AnuPre end like that. For me it's beautiful to see because Devdas is one of my favourite films and I love Kasautii so much too and love drawing parallels between the two, but the similarities should end here. However, I wouldn't object to them using more music from that film and style inspiration because it really was such an artistic masterpiece
