Hahuma only cares about Dravidagam's continued prosperity but not for its constituents. 'For the greater good' seems to be her motto but history has shown that this motto can often lead people to ignore what is right.
Devsena has been lied to and manipulated by everyone important to her. It's a sad situation to be in. She is truly alone. Yet again, Hahuma has lied to her that Chamundi's demise was the result of an Aryan conspiracy when Hahuma's direct orders actually caused Chamundi's death.
Chamundi seems to have been even more impulsive and emotional than Devsena, because she chose to die rather than sacrifice her love at the altar of her queendom. She had a pure heart which was more suited to loving than the ruthlessness required to rule. Will Devsena ever get to know the truth of her Chamundi Amma's fate?
Did Aravamudan know the truth behind Chamundi's death? Seems likely. However, can someone explain what threat he posed to Devsena according to Hahuma? As far as I know, he has never plotted against her.
Also loved how Devsena and Varundev spent each waking and unconscious moment consumed by thoughts of each other. The contradictions in their relationship are portrayed so beautifully- attraction and repulsion, fascination and horror, desire and the urge to conspire.
Both are highly principled and believe they are in the right. They are actually similar in that they are upstanding citizens of their societies forced to duke it out because of the incompatibility of two powerful civilizations.
What will happen when an unstoppable force like Devsena meets an immovable object like Varundev?
When fire meets ice?
Loved VD's contemplation with his friend about one's destined 'atmasangini' or soulmate. I like the bond he has with him (what's his name, btw?). I find Varundev's character so endearing. The best complement to Devsena's fiery disposition. They are perfect.
Also, that poor artist came up with such a faithful rendition of Devsena's Aryaveer but Devsena slashed it to bits in a moment. Somebody should tell him, 'bade bade deshon mein, aisi chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain, senorita'. 😛
Okay, enough fangirling...for this post. 😆
P.S. Little Devsena is so cute and innocent. 😳
