KESAR AND TALLI
Kesar was in for a rude shock when Talli mentioned about losing Gulaal forever. He was hurt that even Talli misunderstood his true intentions. He narrated how much he tried to prevent her from leaving to the extent of begging her. He knew her happiness lies in this house. So he tried his own method of implementation. According to him, he did what he did having been left with no option.
Kesar wants to see Gulaal happy, wants to give her the happiness that she lost in her life. Each time Talli hears Kesar declaring his love for Gulaal, she seemed to be going into a fit (a mild one of course).
I remember the Holi scene where Chotu Kesar asks Gulaal who smeared color on her. She replies "Maine Khud" for which he says " Nahi, mere sivaay, koi aur tumpe rang nahi daal sakta". The guy seems too sincere in keeping his promises to Gulaal. The "Mei tera kavach hoon kavach" was another such childhood promise which he recollects during his half-wedding with Talli.
KESAR AT THE TEMPLE
This was a really impressive scene. In a way, the several questions that has been on our minds who hasd been introduced to this story was voiced out through Kesar himself as he found refuge in Goddess Ashapura Maa of Talsagra.
There was an unusual serene poise even as Kesar stood in front of the goddess to outpour his grief. He did feel a sense of despair that he has become lonely and no one seems to understand him and hence he was left with no option but to seek divine grace. Kesar tries to reason out that it's wrong of Gulaal to be judging his love based on her own set standards, and his helplessness showed when he said Gulaal has confined herself with a safe security blanket she has erected as barriers in Vasant ba's name.
Kesar seems genuine in his approach even in front of God's idol. He sought answers from her as though he was having a one-to-one talk with a living person. That is Kesar, always sincere and true in his feelings. He shared his anguish with her about society's issue about the age factor. But actually none other than Gulaal herself seem to have an issue with it now. The village panchayat did not raise the age factor. But when he said he does not want to differentiate right from wrong through other's viewpoint, it was a pick at Gulaal, Motaba,Pannba, Revjibhai, Dushyant and the entire clan because everyone is lecturing him about what is right and wrong, the latest inclusion being Talli.
He has surrendered himself before the goddess to bless him that Gulaal for once is able to realize his true love.
At last, Kesar had to take refuge in God. It is spiritually satisfying when you let out your emotions in front of God. For all the rejection and being misunderstood, he required this therapy. It leads to emotional healing.
Precap
Wonder what has happened to Kesar after his brief conversation with goddess.
