Sriram and Naku - Is there a commonality?

We have only gotten a glimpse into Sriram Patil, the type of person he was. I can't say I know that much about him, except that he cared for his family and tried to do the right things in his life, including caring for Dutta's well-being as well as that of others.

Sriram, given the way he was, was probably very indulgent (loving) towards his brother, tried to show him the right way to think and act. Sriram was probably also very realistic--you can't always change everyone, but perhaps he tried with his brother. But DP was selfish, limited, and in his own world. You know where I'm going with this, right?

I wonder how much Naku is like Sriram...I doubt they were similar in many ways, but I think there was probably that inherent goodness that both had in common. And with Dutta, you have history repeating itself. He has someone good is trying to guide him (as Sriram probably tried with DP) to be better. It's an opportunity that DP forfeited under very tragic circumstances, where he killed his brother, the person that loved him, albeit in an accident. He had rejected Sriram in life, Sriram's values--and perhaps, he came to change. I'm sure later in life, DP would have given ANYTHING to undo the damage he had done, how he had destroyed Sriram's, his family's, and his own chance at being a good person by rejecting others, because of anger or stubborness.

Perhaps this is the lesson Dutta needs to learn, before he too loses someone that loves him.

1) Dutta is a very honest and straightforward person, but his father dint seem to be that way.

2) Dutta is a gangster but he had his own principles and he always did things which fell within the limits of goodness and welfare for the society (in most cases). Thats why many people considers him 'devta'. So this shows Dutta is a very selfless person in most cases (who can risk his life for the welfare of others), but his father was a totally selfish and self-centered person. So I would say Dutta is a very good human being unlike his father who never even cared for his family, including his own blood son! DP has been an extremely self-centered man who only lived for himself, but Dutta is living for others - not only for his family but also for the society. Dutta fulfills his 'dharma' and 'karma' properly, like he takes very good care of his family members, be it his mom, his sisters, even his sister's husbands! Forget about family members, when Nakku and family came home as servants, he took very good care of them aswell, and gave them all basic amenities of life (including a secure life). He even sent Nakku's bro to school.

Even you have mentioned about DP's selfish nature, so this is one aspect where Dutta and DP cannot even be compared, as on one had DP doesnt even care about his blood relations (he accidently killed his bro and tried to sell off his son) and here Dutta is taking care of people who are not even directly related to him (with most of them not even having any blood relation with him).

The only thing Dutta is particular about is his 'personal life' which he doesnt like anyone to interfere. So I dont think he can be called 'self-centered' from any angle 😕.

3) Dutta was not blind to goodness and he is not a bad human being or an animal like how he thinks about himself. He has trust issues but the moment he trusts someone, he can blindly follow them through the path they take. He has his virtues. He is a man who very well understands the difference between right & wrong and good & bad. And a person who understands this difference and lives accordingly is DEFINITELY a good human being 👍🏼. But DP was totally different in this respect too.

4) Dutta's main problem is internal issues relating to his behaviour, attitude, emotions and stubburness which makes him think he is a 'bad guy'. Like how Nakku said long time back - Dutta's heart is like children's, he just goes around with a thick and hard exterior to protect his emotions basically and to beware people that they dare not try to hurt or cheat him . Like how I mentioned before, he is like a COCONUT who is hard from outside and soft from inside 😳. Even I felt during the jungle scenes that his 'ego' and 'akkad' was like small boys 😆. Thats why I found it cute the way Jagtap was treating him, and his face always looked like a stubborn kid who has been grounded and scolded by his parents 😆. But DP's problems and character was not this simple.

5) Dutta has pure emotions about love though his definition of love is somewhat flawed, but DP never even had a basic definition or understanding of love.

In that case I am sorry😛

You are right, DP and Dutta are very different. What I wanted to explore was how in both their lives, there was someone good, who loved them, wanted to help them, etc. And, yet, both for different or similar reasons, rejected those people. And we know DP came to regret it, and changed as a result. Now it's Dutta's turn.
