PRABHAS & PRITHVIRAJ SUKUMARAN in SALAAR: PART 1 - CEASEFIRE (2023)

[eenadu-varthalu]

Deva: *wrecks absolute havoc in Khansaar*

Also Deva: “sorry 🥺”

deva: a weapon.

the movie does everything to show us that deva holds no agency over himself or his actions and that he has no ambition whatsoever.

his main trait is loyalty, and this is emphasized again and again.

• he is enraged at the mistreatment of aadhya, but where an actual 'hero' would save her, disregarding any rules or conditions – he remains bound by his mother's words.

• he is a weapon in the hands of anybody he gives his loyalty to, and throughout the movie, all of his actions aren't really credited to him, but to the person he commits these acts for/with permission of:

1. in the first scene, we see both deva and varadha, without hesitation, understand that deva has to complete the task for varadha's honor

2. it's evident, when bilal tells aadhya, that the only person who can keep her safe is 'amma' (because it is true, only deva's mother can allow deva to help)

3. when we are first introduced to deva, it is through his mother describing him as a "blood-shedding weapon"

4. when varadha comes to ask deva to accompany him, the narration doesn't feel accurate. varadha has barely voiced his request for deva to go with him – it is actually deva who wants to protect him after seeing his condition, but the narration is: "on one hand varadha had decided to take deva, no matter what, and on the other hand, his mother would not allow him to go" further emphasizing that deva is comparable to an object between the only two people who 'own' him

5. in the first action sequence, after his mother releases him from the promise he made to her, we have this shot:

framing deva's mother as if it is her who is responsible for that first blow

6. even after she has given him agency over himself, he still follows his mother's orders, not bothering to put any energy into what he thinks is the correct thing to do

7. we also see this when radha rama blames varadha for vishnu's death and has to be reminded that – no. it was the new guy who dealt the blow.

8. and again, when naarang heads in varadha's direction, completely disregarding deva and all of deva's attempts to provoke him, even though deva is the one who killed vishnu

it's an interesting way of depicting his personality – the movie equates him to a weapon at every turn, either metaphorically or though dialogue

which also makes it extremely significant, that the ONLY TIME deva has ever acted on his own (according to what we know) is when he: 1. went against his mother: to make a promise to varadha instead 2. did not follow varadha's explicit instructions: and pleaded with naarang to leave varadha alone

deva only breaks free from the narrative for varadha – which really speaks about varadha's importance and the power that varadha holds over deva.

love when south indian directors and actors make blatantly gay movies but still try to pass them off as “ macho macho straight as a rod ” like lmao the only thing straight in those movies is bae's dick dicking down their euphoric bae periodt

also looking at our latest queer addition : salaar — vardha is a fucking simp for deva and deva is straight up possessive devoted boyfriend that's obedient to his word like a guard dog is submissive but that won't matter if vardha is in trouble

both their priorities go like : vardha / deva >>>> amma / baachi >>> everything else

also prashanth neel i don't need to be in your walls because i kNOW they're gonna reunite / make up in the end one way or another — they love each other too much to ACTUALLY kill each other . the only way that can successfully happen is if they pull a hannigram and jump off a cliff together .

ALSO they were totally flirting in the rabid men final fight scene like vardha's face when deva said he had a lot of friends and that they were a lot more beautiful than him ??? the confusion , the anxiety , the offence taken in his eyes ?????????? just fucking kiss already trauma be damned y'all bonded for life

dusting off my blog @tuloblurbs to write some stuff bc i am inspired again so keep an eye out or send any requests if you've got any. also, check out @desipyar if you wanna rp aha ✨

-The sultan, however big the problem was, wouldn't deploy his formidable army. Instead, he would go to only one man. Whatever the sultan wished for, he would bring it to him. Whatever the sultan rejected, he would destroy...Khansaar changed the fate of a lot of people. But what changed the fate of Khansaar was when two best friends became arch enemies.

@salaarfanindia's historic tribal varadeva au inspired me to do this.

[sada-siva-sanyaasi]

deva’s mother: my son is an angel

deva: *kills men*

deva’s mother: he won’t hurt a fly

deva: *kills more men*

varadha: *appears*

deva’s mother: YOU ARE WHY MY SON BECAME A DEVIL—

[spookypeacephantom]

There is no deva without varadha ❤️

[rambheem-is-real]

so uh

i didn’t realize salaar was toxic yaoi???

[eenadu-varthalu]

[magicaldragons]

"i used to call him, salaar"

i think it means so much that the movie is NAMED off of varadha's nickname for his childhood friend...like??? we know the movie centers around their relationship, but wow, it really centers around their relationship.

it's been years of being apart from each other, and they know each other like it hasn't been a day since their last meeting.

+ my roman empire:

varadha sacrificed his honor for deva when he let him get away, all those years ago. and he's swallowed humiliation. countless times. for years on end. and would continue to do so for deva, a boy who showed him love when probably even his family hated his existence.

and deva would sacrifice his life and pride for varadha's safety. would do anything varadha asked for – even at cost to himself.

AND,

we've ended the movie with all of the shouryangaa clan, ready to devote their life to the rightful king, deva.

but deva? he's ready to devote his life to his king, whom he's promised the throne to.

[astraswades]

who next???
