i am so excited to witness varadeva as enemies! single most attractive deed two people can entertain is being enemies while having the hots for each other!

fury filled eyes ! hands grabbing lapel ! heavy breathing ! close proximity ! raw rage pulsing through veins ! rolling on the floor having molded into one body ! oof ! 😮‍💨

deva’s busting a nut the second varadha starts his striptease in preparation for a physical fight (foreplay)

varadha’s losing the idgaf war and pulling out the bedroom eyes the second he sees deva dripping in blood

[rorapostsbl]

we all know the only thing they would be fighting actually is the urge to be fucked/fuck eachother senseless infront of all of khansaar.

[lillieslotus]

yes!! i respect the complex, well thought-out fan theories for their enmity, but i personally WILL be attributing it to blue balls 😴✋ they are repressed gays in need of getting laid, your honor!

[lillieslotus]

images you can hear 😮‍💨

pls do not do yourself a disservice by skipping out on the telugu version ! prabhas and his voice modulation can move literal mountains and everyone deserves to bask in the glory that is his !deep! !bellowing! !possessive! voice [eargasm, pure liquid sex] 🥵

it’s 6am and im drowning in varadeva thoughts!

prashanth neel really created 2 stalwart hulks w the physical dexterity to turn all of khansaar crimson red, while simultaneously building them to have the SOFTEST heart for each other!

they meet after 25 long years, and require no acclimation WHATSOEVER before displaying physical affection towards each other! not a moment of awkwardness. they melt and shrink w each other without any hesitation. tol big men soo smol 🥺 so attuned to each other’s bodies (!!despite the physical distance that stretched for more than 2 decades!!)

idk man but it’s fr refreshing to see two big men, carrying the capacity for such extreme violence, also embrace each other so intimately and be so vulnerable w each other!

they do not feel any pressure to give in to the macho-man-lacking-emotions persona bc they simply do not give a fuck! they feel a lot and their feelings towards each other are far greater than any possible need to push out an image of a tough, ruthless interior. they missed each other, and everyone will have to endure that!

just boyfriends always caring for each other. varadha looking out to ensure his man has his chili powder (to be loved is to be seen!! bc you remembered that detail for 25 years?) deva making space for him to lay his head, CARESSING him, making sure he’s taken care of in such a vulnerable drunken state, remaining by his side through the night 🥹🥹 he would jump in and fight off the nightmares for varadha if he could!

these are all !!open!! declarations of love, your honor! and my men don’t shy away from it either. they love each other and they will make it everyone’s problem (cue the flashback to narang’s beheading for being audacious enough to touch deva’s varadha in his presence)

“salaar is definitely about prabhas and prithviraj. salaar cannot be without prithviraj…”

hoping prashanth neel continues to feed us varadeva bits in part 2!

i think the hottest look you can give someone after they commit acts of unspeakable violence is approval. like don't get me wrong if there's lust there too that's great, but staring at someone with gore dripping down their chin and coating their hands to the wrists with undisguised appraisal and admiration. maybe giving them a little nod as if to say 'well done'. THAT'S what says "yeah we're gonna fuck nasty later".

[valtsv]

"i could fix him" well i could pat him on the head and tell him he's a good boy

[lunaxx08]

tis the look of admiration and lust and awe.

varadha raja mannar in his head patting deva's head and calling him a good boy for killing vishnu, while thinking of other ways he could show deva this very appreciation. (which certainly does not include running his hands and lips along that blood-covered body, making sure to map every ridge and nook, and having those blood-stained hands tearing off his clothes, leaving red handprints and purple bruises in their wake and ... yeah, that's certainly not what he's thinking of-)

[lillieslotus]

the camera panning to the rest of the gang absolutely sick and tired of deva pulling his gay antics is KILLING me 😭😭 ik bacchi wants to send them to therapy for his own sake

[whimsiquix]

There’s just something that is so so appealing to me about Varadha’s restraint in ways I can’t describe. There’s so much control in the chaos within him, even the way he folds his hands in the Kateramma sequence like he’s physically holding himself back, the way he shuts his eyes like he’s afraid he’ll join Deva in his madness.

The interesting thing is, before Deva arrives at Khansaar, Varadha is quite ready to be violent in defence of his territory, after Deva comes and after the ceasefire has been imposed, most of his energy is toward holding Deva back but what I feel we miss, it’s also toward holding himself back.

He’s been drained and isolated and put on the spot for so long, with Deva he can finally give himself room to just feel his emotions safely again without the weight of responsibility crushing him and it’s like it all just comes out at once and I love it so much.

There’s something to be said about the wild wolf and the untamed but there’s the slow shepherd with the simmering rage barely held back by a glass facade of calmness and sweetness that is just… immaculate.

[lillieslotus]

varadha and his extremely pressing concerns that he decided to vocalize at a very opportune time (not like they’re fighting death rn)

[lillieslotus]

prabhas’ ability to tower over prithviraj and make him look small

when prithviraj himself tends to dwarf those around him?? are we seeing just how broad his shoulders are? he’s MASSIVE !

Salaar Scene Analysis: Velamgadi Trial!

When Varadha and Deva were brought to the trial and Naarang started walking towards them, Varadha was concerned for Deva. While Deva was ready to face all consequences, Varadha was afraid that Naarang would kill Deva. He keeps looking between Deva and Naarang.

Then Naarang started walking towards him and he straightened himself to face him.

But the moment Naarang looked at Varadha, Deva's nonchalance turned into anxiousness. Deva didn't wait for Naarang to come to them, he went forward to beg to spare Varadha.

Watching Deva, who was so proud that he wouldn't even take cover when shot at, beg for him, Varadha got emotional. He tried to stop Deva, but Deva was so far gone in his desperation to save him that he didn't even hear him.

Deva reminded Naarang that he was the one who killed Vishnu and finally Naarang's focus shifted from Varadha to him. When Naarang was going to strike at Deva, Varadha rushed forward to draw Naarang's attention towards himself, saying he was the one who was responsible as Deva killed Vishnu for him only. He even called Naarang Anna, putting himself in a lower position than him. That too after being insulted by him the last time they met.

And then Naarang made the biggest mistake of his life, that would not only cost him his hand, but also his life. He held Varadha's collar and the look in Varadha's eyes said, "you have just dug your own grave." He knew exactly how Deva would react, you can see it in his eyes.

But when Deva actually cut off Naarang's hand and then his head, he was overwhelmed. He couldn't believe Deva would go this far for him, even though he knew it would happen. At the same time he was guilty. He felt he destroyed Deva's chance of a normal life away from Khanshar's violence. Maybe he thought he let Amma down as she didn't like Deva being violent. His gaze was focused on the cut hand, while everyone else stared at Deva in fear and awe. He only shifted his gaze when Naarang's head rolled towards his feet.

When Baachi questioned him about Deva, he was too dazed to react. As if he could listen to Baachi, but couldn't understand what he was saying. He was immersed in his guilt and overflowing emotions.

It was Deva's 'sorry' that pulled him out from that dazed state. And what was his first reaction? He apologized for bringing him back to Khanshar.

And that's why Varadha is different from the conventional hero's best friend, who normally cheers or feels proud of the hero's bold actions. It's not that Varadha isn't proud of Deva. From the way he replied to Baachi in Mahara when he asked him to stop Deva, you can clearly hear the pride in his voice.

But when Deva takes risks for him, Varadha behaves like the 'love interest' who is overwhelmed by the love the hero has for him, who can't believe someone can do such things for him. He's more concerned about how the actions would affect Deva than how he would benefit from them.

This is totally opposite to Ugramm, where Bala intentionally provoked Agastya to fight for him and enjoyed the benefits that came from his actions.

This also contrasts with Aadhya's reaction during the coal mine fight scene, when she sat on that truck and watched the fight with wonder and reverence. Unlike Aadhya, Varadha won't judge Deva for not standing up for him. But he would rather have Deva safe than put himself in danger for him. He brought Deva to Khanshar as a last resort to save Baachi, not himself. He neither expects or wants Deva to fight for him.

Varadha's love for Deva is like a concerned, self sacrificing spouse who puts their husband's interests before him.

This is another proof that Varadha is the real heroine of Salaar.

@ririsasy thanks for letting me use some of your gifs.

scenario in which a captured deva, bound by the promises made to his mother, is incapable of escaping the cruelty of khansaar, only to be rescued by his so-called enemy
