You know, I thought this was going to be the ultimate showdown but I wondering this is just the beginning? They might go to Maami’s house and this will further widen the gap. There might be more Dev-Raavi interactions? And the flashback coming into play. We might see both Shiva & Raavi’s breakdown in the near future.
Just a thought...
I don’t see this track ending so soon but can’t trust the makers fully either.
I am glad he didn’t go through her diary while sober (small mercies).
I'll be honest, @bold, I was a little bit disappointed with how they've built the track as well. I know each version should be unique, but it seems like they rushed it. I wish they reorganized the scenes a little. Have the friend scene, while sober when going to bed, accidentally see the first page of Raavi's diary where she has her and Dev's names in hearts, and then maybe have a scene at the store where he contemplates and wonders whether she would ever think of him as someone other than bhoothnath, and then move into the scene with Kaka.
It's actually quite unique how different versions of Pandian Stores plays out with this scene. This scene was originally supposed to come a within a few days of their marriage, however, due to the pandemic, it played a lot later in the ShiVi relationship. In the original, Mullai never defended Kathir. She just tells her friend she has to go. In the Telugu version, Siri (who is Raavi) straight up defends her friend's words and tells Bharat (who is Shiva) that he ruined her life. In both scenarios, I felt like the drunk scene made perfect sense. Silence can be assumed as implicit acceptance, and verbally telling someone that their life has been 'ruined' hurts.
I'm not doubting that Shiva was affected by the friend's harsh words. However, the CVs and editing department rushed the buildup to the drinking scene. They could've built up to the scene a little better by showing bits and pieces of doubt entering Shiva's heart before the drunk scene.
But, this all makes me realize they might play out this track a little softer than the original (and definitely a lot softer than the Telugu)
