Hey mango.... I completely agree that the ONS was completely about control and frankly a bit of dom under current going on here .. if I maybe so bold... And also the challenging, not backing down mentality of both the characters....
Viaan as a character, even though being very innocent when it comes to women, has a very dominating personality from the start....We saw that in his various encounters with Katha and others in the beginning....
But his confidence, his identity, his control and all his characterstics both good and bad comes from the fact that he NEVER makes a mistake EVER!!! And he can judge a person better than most of the people....
When he did a mistake that messed up his core ideology, when he judged a person so so wrongly, it shook him to the core that he wanted to die....He simply lost all his identity and his confidence, and he was unsure how to proceed in this world anymore with the guilt that he feels so deeply.....
But also, he is a survivor.... He survived once before when he was destroyed to the core by his father's actions by surrounding his heart with these deep prejudices that protected his broken heart from the world till now.....
But he was destroyed again this time by his own actions, there is no one to blame but himself and he needs to live with it for all his life. So in order to survive this time he chose love and hope ....
All his identity, all his confidence, all his guilt and his broken heart is in his love for Katha.... She need not reciprocate it, she never has to feel any kind of feelings for him... He is just loving her for his own life, for his survival... Hence, his actions...
But for a broken person finding peace and happiness is not easy .... He is going to be destroyed one final time by Katha herself in whom all his hopes lie to survive himself..... I don't know how he is going to survive himself this time...

see broken people choosing love and hope does not sound believable at all to me. I have only seen that happening when people go through a spiritual phase and find some sort of inner peace. but falling in love as a way to attain peace? -- I really don't buy it. I think the makers are trying to sell a fantasy of how love is beautiful etc etc but the truth is if you are not content yourself, then you will destroy who you love or those around them. that is what happens in the real world.
plus him holding on like this is actually unhealthy -- the way he phrases it is what leads to criminal behaviour. I watch too much crime shows (running joke in DT was my mention of crime patrol) but many crimes/hurts are committed when people hold on to someone because they claim they have to love for their own life, for their survival.
years back in office, a girl broke up with her boyfriend because she found him too much. he then emailed everyone on her team (he somehow had their email addresses because she had once included him in a joke forward along with the team) with all sorts of details of their relationship and cursed her. at the same time, he said she was his life and he was fighting for his survival etc and how they all need to scold her to come back to him or some nonsense. the girl was bawling, the manager told her to go home and then held a team meeting and told them not to discuss it further. however, this was too strange incident and news spread to other teams including mine. so the whole office ended up chatting about it.
since he is ML, he won't be criminal and so he comes across as someone with no sense of respect and self-dignity. when he felt guilty about the ONS, he was constantly on tip toes around her making sure she wasn't uncomfortable. now it is like he does not care what she feels because he is only focused on his own feelings and does not care what it looks like to others. it is not fun to watch such selfishness. that is creepy second lead/villain behaviour.
if he wants to love her from a distance, then he can but he should not be telling her that he will not change his mind for his whole life etc -- thats emotional pressure and blackmail. that is what many of us feel uncomfortable with. she has rejected him 3 times now; he needs to back off and stop with the love declarations.
as for him, getting destroyed by katha -- I want it to happen!
