The way I saw Dev - Ishwari scene is this:
Yes. He asked about his mother.
Yes. He went to meet her.
Yes. He talked to her.
Yes. He was affectionate with her.
But there is a HUGE difference between this interaction and the ones we used to dread watching until last week. It is the absolute lack of devotion. We neither saw the Goddess nor the bhakt.
1. RR told him that his maa has turned her room into her prison. He didn't blink
2. He met her but no hyper anxiety about her welfare or health.
3. He talked to her but nothing she said reached him. Not even her talk about his childhood.
4. He gave a one-armed hug. Neither had his head in her lap nor touched her feet while leaving.
Even with the lack of anger and presence of affection, I felt the indifference. And that is what has hit Ishwari the most, I think.
Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches, meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it. - Joan D Vinge.
P.S: If he wants to prove his statement to Ishwari - Hume kya farak padta hain... he should be able to show the same level of indifference to his ex-wife too, at the awards function. And courtesy of the segments and precap, we know how well that's gonna go. 😆
