Dewmi - Avantha
So the
highlight of this year’s Deweni Inima was the fact that finally Dewmi gave up
on Anuhus and moved on. I mean sometimes I wonder whether she mistook her
sisterly love towards him for the real deal. I have to say that this move had a
very positive effect on me as I always wondered why all the women flocked
around Anuhus when his half brother is hot as hell :P. Also I personally felt
that Anuhus and Dewmi just didn’t match because Dewmi was a bit too playful for
Anuhus. Anuhus really needs someone a little less playful aka in my books I
call that “BORING” and thus Samalka fits the description pretty well. Having
said all that as much as Dewmi’s character is growing I feel she is yet the
immature girl she was 100 episodes ago. She still has her playfulness and she
still believes people will change over time. I feel that Dewmi might be wrong
with the last regard because as far as I can see I don’t believe changing
Avantha will be as easy as she believes it to be.
Avantha does
show that he really cares for Dewmi as he was a bit hurt over the fact that
Dewmi had to get hit by her dad because of his mistake however this doesn’t
mean he is an angel. He simply is the kind of guy who hates to be under the control
of anyone. He wants to do whatever he wants and he wants everyone to approve
what he does. In simple words he wants to be the King. I have a bad feeling
that with Dewmi’s growing feelings towards Avantha she will be taken for
granted. The attraction Avantha had towards her was the fact she resembled the “forbidden
fruit” as she was Anuhus’s sister. However, as soon as he gets hold of Dewmi he
might feel she is not worth the hype, the same way he felt about Samalka. I
personally believe that Dewmi needs to take this fact into account and play it
safe with Avantha. Avantha may simply be using Dewmi to take revenge from
Anuhus and Dewmi needs to take this into account too because she might be
heading towards being another “Udeni”.
The added
suspense in this love story is the fact that both Avantha and Dewmi needs to
hide it from both their parents. I have a feeling that Anuhus has already
suspected something and it won’t be long before Dewmi will get caught. There is
also a chance that Dewmi might break up things between them as Avantha simply
does not seem to change. He simply seems to be playing around with Dewmi’s
feelings and even the “don’t do anything bad for 2 months” challenge is just a
joke for him. Dewmi needs to realize that if she is to have any chance of changing
Avantha that is only if she herself changes. I am saying this because of
something weird I saw in her.
If you look
carefully the feelings Dewmi is having towards Avantha is simply a red hot
crush. It is the kind of thing you have when you are in a reckless mood. To
Dewmi Avantha represents everything bad, everything her family told her to keep
away from. To her the act of getting closer to Avantha is a rebellious deed.
She wants to do it so that everyone will see that she is not the innocent
little sister anymore. To add to this she plainly wants revenge from Samalka.
In Dewmi’s head Samalka took away Anuhus from her aka took something that
clearly belonged to her. Dewmi believes that by having an affair with Avantha
she is taking something away from Samalka aka something that belonged to
Samalka. It simply seems to be a revenge plot. This would explain why she is
always talking about her relationship (with Avantha) with Samalka. She believes that both Anuhus and Samalka
will be jealous about her relationship with Avantha. In a very ironic way it
seems to me that Dewmi just wants Avantha as a trophy boyfriend aka “look I
have a hot boyfriend who used to date Samalka!” In a weird way this makes her
similar to Avantha’s mother Ameesha as she too believes Ravi is her “hot
man…the prime catch”.
So I believe
that the writers should push these two towards a more romantic relationship. As
far as I see this is just an A/L crush towards the hot guy in class. If the
drama is to go further from here then the writers need to give more screen time
to Avantha and Dewmi. I don’t understand why their storyline is just every
other day when Anuhus and Samalka’s story goes every day. Most probably the
writers need to cut down on the Mike scenes and put more of these two.
We need
more drama, more emotion, more passion and I feel all that will come to the
drama from this one relationship. If Avantha can be shown as more sincere and
Dewmi more in love I believe these characters will match up to their
counterparts in One Tree Hill aka Nathan Scott and Haley. If more “Dewantha”
scenes are not added we as an audience will be more bored as the drama
progresses as the Samalka Anuhus relationship is a more mature and boring one unlike Dewantha which is “hot from the oven”.

Let’s just hope the writers listen to us and in the mean time you can always
share this post or voice your concerns on social media. After all it is after
such a long time that a good drama is put up on Sri Lankan TV screens and we need
to ensure that the standards are kept high. So on this note Part 1 of the
review ends…lets meet again in the next part….:) Stay tuned to Drama Queen for
more news from the Sri Lankan drama scene.
