Thanks Leesan!
Frankly I fail to understand why are some ppl refusing to look at the gravity of the life altering situation Addu faced. Its unimaginable what the boy must have gone thru. Also, he is not who he is at the moment just coz he spent better part of his life with hard core criminals who did not leave him a choice but to do what he did. But the boy also is under this huge misconception that his family forgot and abandoned him. Its not that he is a feeling less robot...the very fact that he is hell bent on hurting his own family so badly shows how deep his sense of betrayal is. He is hurting and wants to give it back in kind. Of course, his sense of betrayal is misplaced and he has misjudged the entire situation...but the guy does not know that at the moment imo. I am not justifying his wrong ways or condoning anything he has done (frankly CVs have gone a bit too far to create drama element here) but one needs to understand the 'whys and hows' also behind what he is doing and not be completely blind towards the same.
And Mohan - whatever the poor guy does, he finds no endorsements, does he?. When he slapped Addu, there were many who said he shld not have salpped...it was too extreme etc. Why...wld they have said the same if Mohan was Addu's real father? Ironically, if he had not slapped/punished Addu for his wrong doing...same or another set of ppl wld have said...see since he is a step father he does not care enough to set his son right. That he is only concerend abt creating a good image of him self in his son's eyes even though it is at the cost of his son's well being! I mean, its a lose-lose for him no mater what he does imo
Even in this situation, if he had been unrelentingly tough on Addu...ppl wld have said, he is not fit to be a father...that he is not acting maturely...that instead of being tough he shld have tried to reach out to Addu by showing him that he cares, that his family cares...that this is what his real father wld have done to turn him around!
And frankly it really bothers me to see that despite knowing what happened to Addu, the kind of hellish life he led and on top of that the kind of misunderstandings he had with regards to his family and Mohan...why can't ppl cut him some slack and not begrudge him having a second chance in life. And I am talking abt the character here regardless of the actor's emoting abilities.
Frankly, I feel, at this point in time - we need to cut all 3 of them some slack. Many are criticizing Megha too for behaving the way she did with Addu. But in my view she did not get enough time to think thru stuff. She reacted impulsively and had no time to process all the info that was suddenly downloaded on her. Hope she will be shown later wanting to understand why Addu became this way and trying to help him with his redemption. Outright rejection is not the solution here imo. And frankly, I don't know of a single mother in real life who wld give up on a lost & found child like this, knowing very well what he may have gone thru and what made him turn into what he is. She wld cry and begrudge her fate but wld still want a chance to show her child the right path...a chance to heal and lead a happy life.
Finally, according to me, all 3 of them - Mohan Megha and Addu are victims of circumstances here - grappling and struggling desperately to make sense of what life has cruelly dealt them and doing their best to deal with the same in their own way. Addu is no doubt handling it all the extreme wrong way...but then he too is human and is making a mistake or rather a blunder...but for God's sake why have an issue with Mohan, as a father, wanting to help him out and set him on the right path or why snatch that one chance away from Addu!
Just wish we all cld look at things in a bit more sensitized way and not in a black and white, simpleton way and be so harshly judgmental based on the same
Sorry, for pouring it all out here like this😊. Actually I was resisting saying anything on this subject even though I felt strongly abt certain things being said but guess today it crossed my threshold limit and hence the rant lol
