Very Well put by Everyone! its always a pleasure to read so many different perspectives abt a Character..
I for on reason finding this whole Gloominess around LTL intriguing! May be because i find such dark stories more pleasant by living in such gloominess for years.. life cannot be simple! its not that easy like how mostly its represented ..EVery character has a grey side .. its depends upon a person himself ho he/ she handles in a phase of crises and not to let him/herself barry in shadows, here the biggest role which affects a person are external forces .. the prejudices made by the same person ..Same was in the case of Dutta.. His life started with gloominess .. but AS came into his life as a light ..drew him away .. gave him a simple life .. he grew up with simple ideology of life, surrounded by happiness dreams... then a gal came into his life who fits in his small dream world.. He has tasted the beauty of being in love, there he explored what LOVE means to him ... it was the most beautiful feeling for him .. which he canot afford to lose!! which soon shattered all his believes...The pain Of betrayal took over the feeling of love ... and made him chose a path which will only take him towards self destruction ... He knew it back then ... he WANTED to stay in shadows.. as it gave him energy to fight with the pain growing in side him of losing someone he loved dearly... .it safe to say that his bitter childhood and the pain e went through in that early phase of life revisited him .... wh kehtay hain na ki bachpan ki talkh yaadain Zehen per aik gehri chaap chhor jaati hain ... he made his weaknesses his strength .. and closed himself from the world..Now this gal comes from nowhere.. be it the game of fortune or just a mere coincidence .. she MADE him come out of his shell...it was so difficult but she made it so easy for him!! he tried to fight back .. convinced himself not to fall again! but no.. he was drawn towards her the day they met! they shared a connection from day one .. which only became stronger with each passing day . in the end .. realization of his love for her grew in him ... the best thing happend to him was this gal has accepted him for what he is... knowing him from upside down ..it was certainly a happiness of a life time for him the day he got married to her with all his and her will...But... This whole happiness was abt to be shattered again ??? The instant knowledge of it was unbelievable to him .... he wanted not to believe anything around him!!! for him to "ponder" and hear her side of story at that point of time was just not happening! What a joke his life has become.. anyone can come and play with his feelings.. It wouldn't have been that a big deal if this was done by someone else.. but the gal .. with whom he shared every thing abt himself has done that to him ..... who claimed to KNOW him .. was betraying him all the time??so a person whose heart is so fragile who has been going through a a lot since his childhood ... who is beaten badly by all the external forces around him ...and by the people he loved in the end become responsible for his pain .. its CERTAINLY not easy for him to THINK and UNDERSTAND other's prospective at this stage .. when there is a war going inside his mind and heart! let him deal with it himself!pehlay woh khud ko tu samajh le.. phir kissi aur ko samajh paye ga.. he admits he was a fool till now .. and needs to see things with a different prospective .. harsh he will be on others now.. he will distance himself from everyone! only to get a Cure in a true sense....Its only when he will be able to see Nakusha's point! And her unconditional love for him .. and how much that gal went through form him .. after that her mistakes wil look smaller to him in front of what he did to her and to himself'Im really delighted to get to know a Character so deep and complex like Dutta.s.Patil. the real life treatment given to him adds more to its Charm.I was listening to "Aye kaash k ab hosh main hum" and it reminded me the song seq from LTL where Dutta Was young and was breathing love, unaware of what life has in store for him .. *sigh* It was a terrible feeling!So as Make-believe and Anu have put it.. I too am Very much enjoying this tragic and depressive feel track to the CORE! the best part is .. dutta's character doesn't give an OTT feel to it unlike other shows where makers try hard to Capture the DEVDAS kind feel to give to their Characters...Hats off to MR and the team for that..😊
