No , I think it's definitely love , not lust. I've stated the reason in this post , in other replies and also the main post. Let's agree to disagree here. 😳 Viewers's perspective.
In any case , if it's lust , then we've to agree that DS is also lusting after him. ( Even then I won't blame her , because young age and hot blood and hormones... 😉 )
Secondly with regards to DS's actions re trying to kill JD i have another point of view- how could she not? Besides the fact that it was her queen who was giving the order the circumstances of the first meeting, barring the instant attraction/soul connection, were hardly fortunate! From DS's pov, this random young guy burst into her room, saw her effectively half nude, took out a knife and hurled it at her, and the proceeded to put his hands on her while fashioning her a new dress. In ancient times royalty was akin to being gods for the people, and besides being sacrosanct, DS has probably been told all her life how does special she is, how she has been Hahumas chosen. In light of this thinking, what JD did was sacrilegious and DS going to kill him is an ill thought decision, but not a character flaw.
I never said they were supposed to let go of Shiva after saying, " It's ok dude , no big deal. " But what they showed is totally unforgivably barbaric and unjust , even going by the standards of those days ( I do always keep in mind the time frame , social structure etc. as context , before judging a situation or action. ) They didn't let him utter a single word in his defense , let alone hear his side of the story . It's like, their way or high way.
And what is this obsession with capital punishment at the drop of a hat ??
Is there no other punishments ?? He could've been given 100 whiplashes or sent to captivity for an year or two , for entering the room of the princess and touching her.
As for making a dress for her , it was nothing wrong , he did that to protect her modesty.
Yes , I understand and agree with you on the bold part, and that's just so obvious that she thinks she's so high and above others , it really very much off putting . It came out clear as daylight during her swayambhar as well . This holier than thou attitude is totally repulsive . Point to be noted , both Mahisha and JD are her equals in terms of warrior skills , yet none of them walks with an air of such obvious vanity.
If this is not a character flaw for a future queen , I don't know what is !
IMO , unless this changes and she becomes as humble and down to earth as... well as KN is in real life for e.g 😆 , Akhandya Bharat including Dravidagam is better off without a queen like this.
I think if we need to look for DD's hidden compassion- and it has to be hidden, she has been trained and raised by a twisted, ruthless woman who is trying to make DS her image, we have to look at two instances- one when she defends Mahisha and then thanks her mother for saving him, and the second is the flinch on her face and the question in her eyes when her mother summarily executes someone whose only crime was a map found on him, without a trial.
@Bold, err.. no , it's absolutely not our job to go for a treasure hunt of her hidden compassion. And the mass won't. It's the duty of the writer to show us her compassion. We shouldn't be searching for it with a magnifying glass in our hands in bits and glimpses.
@Blue , I agree there. But to be honest , if Bijjaldev had not been poisoning the mind and heart of his son Bhallaldev against Amarendra and Shivagami , Bhalla may not have been so out and out evil.
But does that mean , viewers are supposed to forgive or overlook Bhalla for his evil deeds ?? Hell no !
We're all , irrespective of situations , the product of our upbringing but that doesn't mean we can thrust the responsibility of our actions onto our upbringing.
I think DS's journey is about becoming a queen and also figuring out who she is without her mothers teachings. And that is gonna be hard until her mom is exposed as Mirror Mom. But she is different from her mother- it's just hard to see because right now she is very much under her mother and Hahumas thrall.
Yes , I agree with you. She's in no way ready or fit to be a queen right now. She's a very long way to traverse as a character before she's befitting of a good queen , let alone a great queen.
Also with regards to the love between DS and JD- I think besides the obvious it's going to be an interesting journey for another reason- VD might have reincarnated for the purpose of fulfilling his incomplete love but DS reincarnated for her incomplete love AND her incomplete dreams. She wanted Varun Dev's love in her next life, she wanted a life with him, but she also wanted to fulfill her and her parents dream. So it will be interesting how that plays out- I remember how VD was so eager to die, so unable to live a life without DS that he stabbed himself using her hands- she didn't really do it. So JD's interactions once he falls in love will be very interesting to see.
VD stabbed DS first , and then he waited for DS to stab him , so that her promise of revenge can be fulfilled , but DS couldn't do it . VD realised that DS won't ever be able to kill him , she can slash him across the body a few times , but it's impossible for her to strike the death blow to her lover. So he stabbed himself. She sort of surrendered herself to the decision VD took for them both.
Also did anyone find that slow realization on JD's once he figured out he should have killed her instead of providing a dresss for her funny? I love RDX's expressiveness! He and KN are super well matched with amazing amazing chemistry in every scene!
Agree with you on the chemistry part. Flawless chemistry that sparkles through every freaking scene.
But then RDX can create chemistry with a poll and romance it convincingly.
