I mean, people who have done the testosterone — not so much here in the last few years — but people [who] have vacillated back and forth, and all of a sudden they don’t want to do it anymore. ..'Oh, I screwed up, I didn’t mean to do this, the doctors should have been more thorough in their tests, they should have stopped me from doing this....' That’s bullshit. I spent ten years trying to figure out if this is what I was going to do or not."

𝒟𝒜ℛ𝒦 𝒮ℐ𝒟ℰ 𝒪ℱ 𝒟ℰ𝒱𝒜 𝒩𝒜𝒦𝒮ℋ𝒜𝒯ℛ𝒜𝒮?

Hey y’all(whoever may care to see this🙈)! I don’t typically do post like this but sometimes I like to jot down my thoughts related to spiritual themes! Anyway this post is sort of kinda going to relate to astrology, specifically Vedic, and is just a theory of mine that I’ve sort of observed—both within my life and others within texts���historical, religious, fictional, and so on. I’m not a professional AT ALL so please don’t come for me🫶🏼…but without further discussion imma get to it~

So the two figures above that are on the right hand side of the spirituality/religiously prominent figures (Rama and Christ) are Kaikeyi (image 1) and Judas Iscariot (image 2).

Kaikeyi was a princess of Kekaya (her home-kingdom) and radnyi or queen of Kosala (due to her being married off to the ruler of that kingdom, Dasharath, becoming his third wife) mentioned in the Ramayana. This place was also where Rama (the blue person in image 1) was born who also happened to be the deity Vishnu’s seventh incarnation in human flesh. Kaikeyi also happened to be the cause for Rama’s ten year exile which was of great spiritual significance for various reasons.

Moreover, Judas, who was a disciple of Christ, eventually betrayed him and that led to the event of the Cruxifixction and so on. This event, for known reasons, was too a very spiritual event that in a way needed to happen.

In all, these two figures, who have by the way been “demonized” in many instances in today’s world, were also catalyst and played key roles in major spiritual tasks executed in this world according to scriptures. *DISCLAMER* Although I saw some similarities with the point I’m trying to make within Judas’s story as well, I must say I don’t view them as strong as I would like them to be. Therefore, I will make a separate post with those points aside from this one. Thank uuu*

Getting to my point, this goes back to deva nakshatras for reasons I’m about to get into~

1 - 𝒦𝒶𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓎𝒾

Okay, so I’ve been familiar with both the scripture of the Ramayana and happened to recently read the thoughts or story of an author who gave a retelling of it from the perspective of Kaikeyi, the apparently “jealous/evil queen” who exiled Rama.

Not to say that the retelling in the book I read (by Vaishnavi Patel, btw) is of more importance than the actual mythological account because that is not what I’m getting at. I’m entertaining such things as a matter of theory—not dogma. The author herself even shared, “This book does not strive to be an exact retelling of any version of the Ramayana—it is Kaikeyi’s story, and thus it is its own story.”

Though, I must say, it is true that texts of old do tend to be messed with or altered for various reasons by certain people 👀 (if yk yk)—but of course, there is a lesson to be learned in all that is shared because it is certainly there for a reason.

Anyway, in the book by the author mentioned above, she starts from Kaikeyi’s POV stating, “I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions—much good it did me” (Vaishnavi 3).

After some calculations and contemplating based on Vedic astrology, the nakshatras therein, specifically those considered auspicious, and theoretically around the time that Kaikeyi was supposedly born, I came to the conclusion that it would make sense for Kaikeyi to have been born under the Pushya nakshatra.

Especially considering it is considered the “King of Nakshatras” due to how highly auspicious it is and its correlation to Jupiter (or Brihaspati) being the Guru (teacher) of the gods (or Devas) and themes of royalty and dharma.

Such things apparently stuck out to me in relation to Kaikeyi and her life situation. Not to mention, this nakshatra resides in the sign of Cancer, and Kaikeyi is the older twin of her brother Yudhajit 🤭.

Anyway, based on what I was working with, I also figured it fitting that she’d be born under Shravana as her moon nakshatra. Mainly due to the fact that Shravana resides in Capricorn (which has karmic themes—something that could have played a role in Kaikeyi’s main duty of being a catalyst for Rama’s exile) and the fact that Vishnu is the ruling deity of it. Vishnu happened to be what Rama, who Kaikeyi in a way was a mother figure to, was the incarnation of.

To me, it all just sort of “made sense,” but hear me out. In the book, and even in history, Kaikeyi was considered “god-forsaken” (mainly due to her nature and actions) or, as the author Patel put it, “gods-touched.” In essence, all her life, her relationship with divinity has, in a way, been strained because (as Kaikeyi in the book eventually finds out) due to her purpose and nature, they cannot interact with or affect her as they can other mortals.

With all such things considered, hypothetically, she was born under DEVA nakshatras (Deva, as in relating to the divine or gods as its nature).

So, considering the above and Kaikeyi’s persona, (hypothetically) being of deva nakshatras and “gods-touched/forsaken,” I must say, being of deva nakshatras (Ashvini being my moon sign, Punarvasu my Ketu, and a few others that are prominent), I totally understand what she means with how she describes her situation in relation to the divine.

Now, I won’t say that my position with the public is as hers was (since she was demonized) or is destined to be (considering my Venus is domicile in Taurus in the 10th house, without malefic influence), yet, in an inner and spiritual sense, my relationship with the divine has been ever-present and complicated.

The feelings of betrayal, bitterness, disgust at times, and so on that Kaikeyi describes when speaking in relation to the gods that are involved heavily in the lives of those around her are honestly things I can heavily relate to.

But at the same time, I convince myself it’s not at all that bad 🙂🙊—like, it’s REALLY something I’m sure I came here to figure out.

My situation is not necessarily terrible (as I would feel Kaikeyi’s to have been), but it is interesting, due to a variety of factors I’m sure (but that could just be my Chiron in Pisces at 0 degrees opposite my ascendant and square my Sun—🙈).

I’m not 100% sure, of course, it’s just an observation or something like that—nothing I’ve said is law 🌚… but let me know, of course, if anyone else sort of gets what I’m saying! Thank you for reading to the end!!!

Direction

Rosshan Andrrews directed this picture. This is his first Hindi movie. He has previously directed a Tamil and many malayalam movies. His first debut directorial Malayalam film, Udayananu Tharam (2005), was released. He did an excellent job directing it, but the script lacks any unique elements. He has handled the picture quite well. The director was effective in keeping the film's suspense till the end. He filmed certain situations quite effectively.

Story-Screenplay

The story and screenplay for the film were written by Bobby-Sanjay, Abbas Dalal, Hussain Dalal, Arshad Syed, and Sumit Arora. Bobby Sanjay writes for Malayalam films. This might be considered a remake of his film, Mumbai Police (2013). He has been working with the film's director, Rosshan Andrrews, since 2005. Its story is without merit, and the screenplay is lacking.

Dialogues

Abbas Dalal and Hussain Dalal wrote good dialogue that fits the film's theme and tone.

Action

Editing

A.Sreekar Prasad's editing is a little loose; 10-15 minutes of the film should have been trimmed. The first 30 to 35 minutes of the film move slowly. The first half is long, and the film begins just after the interval.

Cinematography

Amit Roy's cinematography can be described as superb. The gorgeous locations of Mumbai have been depicted quite beautifully. The aerial views were well shot.

Background Score.

Jakes Bejoy's background score is excellent, blending well with each scene.

Choreography

Bosco Martis's choreography for the first wedding song, Bhasad Macha, is superb.

Music and Lyrics

The picture did not provide much space for music or lyrics.

Sound Design

Subhash Sahoo's sound design is very satisfactory.

Production Design

Sandeep Sharad Ravade's production design is very good.

Mumbai is not your father's; it is the Mumbai police's.

Deva Movie Box Office Collection

Deva Movie Budget

Deva's budget is 80 crores.

Flaws

- I don't understand why an intimate scene was added; what was the necessity for it? - Shahid Kapoor playing a detective is beyond comprehension. - Some action scenes were forcibly inserted. - Some scenes have no connection to the story. - The main character in the film freely smokes on screen. - The film is an excellent example of secularism as the main character is Hindu, his brother-in-law is Muslim, and his friend is Christian.

CBFC

- Following the CBFC's advice, filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews was reportedly asked to edit a lip-lock sequence, which resulted in the removal of 6 seconds of the kiss. - Other adjustments included substituting “indecent gestures” and certain offensive words with gentler alternatives in both dialogue and subtitles. - The CBFC also asked the filmmakers for an explanation of a reference to Hutatma Chowk, a historical site in Mumbai's Fort neighborhood.

...I wouldn't have allowed you to be assigned to do that anyways. It isn't our department's job.

As it stands, it seems it's busy...someone put CENSORED into it, so...leave it be, for now.
