The villain is always depicted to be capable of utmost heinous crimes. That way , when the hero vanquishes the villain, the greatness of the hero gets magnified. The love of the two warring clans is depicted to the zenith.
However, the love that is the under current of the movie is not carnal but that of the heart. The love that is sustained in heart never has a defeat. The world for the bodies may end... But the effect of the love transforms the world....
In a more mundane terminology, the bomb may blast itself... But the path is made in the heart of the mountain for the safe passage of the millaenium afterwards.
Fate plays a vital role in creating 'misfortunes' that bring out the best in the people for eons to emulate. In Romeo and Juliet, the fate of the lovers was not to spend a life of togetherness. But, what happened after that? No message... In Indian backdrop, the message is crystal clear. The love has no defeat. It has a goal that has a far reach than what meets the eye.
Come to think of it, how many of us are treated by fate to its choicest dish of 'sufferings'? Not all. We assume more than what is doled out to us. Only those who can bear the pain, the wound is caused by fate. Those who endure, have a place in the drama called life! They are the chosen ones to spread the message of love!
Their life had no 'joys' as we perceive. But, they had joys that sustained their grit. Even when the decision is doled out to annihilate the opposite clan, the lovers believe in the goodness of each other and can not bear to see the hatred triumph. Fate Goaded them on to live a life of meaning, not for posterity..but, for themselves. They believed in the concept of love and have not deterred inspite of the vagaries that abound around them. A lesser mortal would have succumbed to the ordinary pattern deemed life.
To see a pattern where there is none, it takes a visionary, nay, a lover!, for, he believes that the world was made in love and not of hatred. If so, how can, then, there be anything but love in this world?
Behind every admonishing that we receive by fate, there is an anguished lord pining for us to see HIS love and love the situation and through that, The Lord and HIS ways.
