I liked the episode…
It has always amazed me how differently people perceive things…...So here is how I perceive certain aspects of the episode today….and the love between Dev and Radhika
First, I liked how the "passage of time" was shown….moving through the time with voice over and at the same time, showing Dev's anguish looking for Radhika, and Barkha's failed attempts to get close to Dev…to show how Barkha is manipulating various members of the family---was effectively done.
Kanha returns to help his bhakth…..Why now? Why not before?...To me, Kanha waited to see if Barkha will repent, and also to test Dev (does he really love Radhika, is he capable of being an RP) and when Kanha realizes that "adharma" is getting out of hand, he returns to rectify the situation…
Kanha returns in the avatar of Radhika…Arjun needed kanha to guide him and Dev needs Radhika (kanha) to guide him, show him the way, make him realize the truth and fight for the right things...Kanha will get Dev to his destination and will help him to find Radhika..
The part about Kanha picking up Radhika's locket, gave me the goosebumps… beautifully done to show us (the audience) that it is Kanha himself, coming to help his bhakth, to clear her name, to render justice for his bhakth, for all the injustices that were thrown her way…
The story is that,... Dev and Radhika's love is eternal…and will not be broken…Radhika loves Dev unconditionally---it does not matter how he treats her. Yes, that is love. Radhika is pure and divine, and so is her love...Dev is more human with human flaws. He does love Radhika and she is the only one for him; It does not mean that one ignores the faults of those we love and may even get angry at that person...sometimes love is unreasonable and is blind...Dev is all that...but yet his is love too...so to me this journey of love still continues…..
