UPDATED THOUGHTS:
Desibubbly's second half had a few words to convey:
- Second Half connects the red put on their cheeks, the red shawl fluttering between them when they married on the dark night in the Temple and the red powder slipped before the statue of DeviMayya, and interprets the red as the goddess herself. Referring to the ArHi Code, Second Half assumes the interpretation to show that the goddess has always led the two lovers and will continue to guide them henceforth.
- Second Half also pointed out that the red of the sindoor had been put on Kushi in the secretive solitude of the marriage night. But now Arnav puts red on her in public thereby acclaiming her as his wife with his family for witness. Her outing it on him is a sign of her silent and gentle acceptance of him as her husband.
- First half contrasted with the colours of yellow and red put on Kushi. In Buaji's eyes, Kushi is always a little girl and hence put the yellow. In Arnav's and Shyam's eyes Kushi is a woman and hence the red.
- Also something I posted in Lovely's post: The interpretation behind Arnav in jeans and vest-less shirt: he is returning back to his unlived childhood, the doors of which would be opened gradually through this track, and holi is the heightened moment of this event. Kushi is the key that opened him to return back to his missed out youth.
