I can connect Abhimanyu's character with two male leads in two films- One is Kabir Singh (Kabir Singh) and other is VC(Kaatruveliyidai). All three of them fall in the same category in the name of love.
All the three characters love their partners and it goes overboard sometimes. Anything excess is not at all good for anything.
While Kabir is clouded with his over obsessive nature towards Preethi, VC with his misogynist ideas on Leela here Abhimanyu is clouded with his anger and his nature of controlling in Akshara's life.
Kabir slapped Preethi. VC treated Leela like a doormat in front of his airforce colleagues, Abhimanyu has destroyed the things in his room infront of Akshara who was already suffering from miscarriage.
Whereas people only consider Kabir slapping as abuse but for me all the things three characters have done come under abuse- where the first one is termed physical, second and third are mental and emotional abuse.
I'm not saying the female leads as the right ones in these dramas. They've their own share of mistakes but a human is bound to do mistakes.
Coming to their seperation part,Preeti left Kabir when he didn't turn up, Leela left VC due to his nature of not taking up the responsibility during the Kargil war, here Abhimanyu left Akshara without giving her a chance to speak.
I donno how makers have planned Abhimanyu's redemption, but in case of Kabir he realised his mistakes and United with Preeti. VC was captured and prisoned in Pakistan jail as POW in Kargil War.There he got his redemption by thinking where he went wrong and realised his mistakes. At the end he became a man whom Leela wished to be like.
In terms of blaming, Kabir always the situations which led to Preeti's marriage with other person whereas VC blamed himself for everything. Abhimanyu on the other hand has thrown everything on Akshara's head.
They say loving a person actually changes something in your life-either it might be a good one or bad.
Kabir got himself into alcohol and drugs. VC started to feel for Leela and didn't let go of her like his past relationships. Whereas in Abhimanyu I'm unable to see any change.
Sorry for my long rant...
In case you don't know about the Kaatruveliyidai, it's a movie directed by Maniratnam. It revolves around a squadron leader in Airforce Varun chakrapani. He gets prisoned in Rawalpindi jail( Pakistan) during Kargil war. There he actually reminisces about his love for a doctor named Leela
