The way Raghav described their family, it seemed very idyllic. His mother seemed like she was a great mother (but maybe she wasn't after all?). I can't imagine a good mother like that doing that to her son, especially when he wasn't the one who even physically killed his dad/bro.
I get being angry at Raghav and holding onto the resentment but the whole abandoning thing never made sense to me. Esp how she wasn't even willing to hear his side of the story. She was his mother, shouldn't she know what her son would be capable of?
She was also a very loving wife. Grief does put on a different kind of filter to our senses.
I think Raghav choosing the way of violence somehow led to the two deaths. Maybe amma had just estranged him originally, but he chose to keep at it, thinking it was necessary. And finally it got to a point where she asked him to choose, be a don or be my son. He chose the former.
Initially I always used to think, if gaining amma's approval is that important to him, why doesn't he ever consider dropping the violent life? Amma didn't seem to have a problem with him being a businessman, she was even proud of him for getting that award. She just hated that he was a guy who used threats and violence on people. It was like his family's deaths didn't teach him anything at all. She was so put off by violence, but Raghav chose to embrace it.
It's why she was happy seeing him at the wedding functions. Behaving like a normal person.
I know I'm just theorising at this point, but it's how the stort had built up in my mind, you know? 🤷
