Now I understand the whole Devdas act and that song. Though honestly why that song is still a bit of mystery but I think I'm getting pretty close to finding out the big secret.
Anyways the whole Devdas act which we thought was absurd was because we were taking it into literal sense. The song talked about love and betrayal but it wasn't about the usual boy-girl love. Here the love had other shades. The song and Abhays strange behavior depicted his pain over his so called lost love Aarti. For a few seconds he imagines her to be there. Perhaps he really did love her or so he thought. The fact is Abhay and Aarti did have a relationship so definitely he must have had strong feelings for her. Yes not strong enough but still they were there so it's natural to miss her I guess. As long as she does not enter as a vamp later on, I have no problems. So Abhay was getting all worked up and melancholic for Aarti. I guess he was hurt over the fact that Phulwa turned Aarti against him and later on married him. Moreover in the eyes of the world she seems to be the perfect wife. So yes he is deeply hurt.
Moving to Phulwa even she did not miss a chance to hum a few lines. She clearly was hung over Abhays betrayal as Shatru. The flashbacks proved it. 'Chah pal bhar ka thi...' Her first love left unfinished...First heartbreak- never easy.
And later on near the song end Abhay singing 'margaya woh jawan' with FB of Chote Thakur dying syncing perfectly with the lyrics showed that the real reason for this pain, betrayal and revenge was Chote Thakurs death.
'Kisi ne jaan li, kisi ne jaan di.' This line said by Abhay in the starting clearly points to Chote Thakurs death at the hands of Phulwa. 'Pyaar tu sirf bahana tha...' Abhay said it, loving Phulwa was an act. He was reminding her of the fact that whatever he did was because she killed his brother. It was his duty to avenge his death and punish Phulwa for it.
And then Bade Thakur hugged Abhay because even he understood the reason for Abhays act.
So the song talked about lost love and broken trusts, revenge and pain.
Well conceived but a bit complicated for an array of emotions were thrown together.
