Broken love stories

well here are some thoughts.

1. love is an illusion. they are craving for something which they don't have/cannot have/pretend to have.

2. that other goals are given more importance e.g. for the cop, his job, for anita, her job, for politician his power, for mehru her dream of leaving india....but love is still being craved for.

3. that in today's world people are too busy to love even if they crave for it most (ok this is sort of similar to the previous one i guess)

Hi Anwar,

My thoughts were at first that as people nursing broken hearts themselves they (the people of Dholpur) would perhaps empathise with Anwar once they learned his story... but then of course as we later find out, they never do hear about his love for Mehru.
So then I thought this: perhaps it is that none of them can deliver themselves for love, "immerse" themselves in it, as Master Pasha directed. For example, the police officer wants nothing more than to be with his wife and child as his wife lays dying, yet he can't because he has to work. Would work matter that much to an individual if their dearest love was dying?
Or perhaps, it's quite simply this: in spite of their own broken hearts and pain they can not love, in the plainest and simplest way, one another; they can not empathise with one another, can not support one another or recognise sorrow or pain in one another. Perhaps the film is asking if love can exist in such a world? Does it? And if so, does it survive?
