Abhay I am not happy with Halfighat coming so soon.
I wish they had show Maharana's rule for sometime, his administration etc. atleast a small track on it.

Kaana,
I also wanted to see the administration and reconstruction of Mewar by Maharana.

Let us see what happens.I guess Haldighati is not going to come soon.
CVs have used that name just to create hype.

Even Chittor war started after around a month when it was announced in the show.

Hopefully, we will see some tracks. :)

Those waiting for Maharana's wives post.
It is here :

hi guys,

I was reading this post, & noticed some of the points mentioned that CV's are not portraying the characters properly, & twisting historic facts. Well guys this is not the first time.

For eg: When they showed the second battle of Panipat between Akbar & Hemraj VIkramaditya in which Mughals emerges victorious, Its true Mughals win the battle, but they showed Akbar killing Hemraj personally, where as the fact is, it is Bairam Khan who kills Hemraj in front of Akbar, who at that time was just 11yrs old.

Then they showed Akbar Meeting Pratap & both becoming thick friends even without knowing each others identity. I don't remember reading any History book which says Akbar meets Pratap. Yes both were enemies & both dream of killing other. But the fact is both Pratap & Akbar never met each other in person even once. There is no record which backs that.

Then they show Akbar meeting a Fakeer who tells Akbar that if he ever fought Pratap in person in a battle filed then Pratap will kill him. They even showed Pratap daring Akbar for a one on one fight during siege of Chithod & Akbar not responding because he was afraid of getting killed by Pratap. Its true that Akbar never led his Army in person to battle. Yes he used to come to battlefield & camp at a distance to coordinate the operations but never took active part. Not only Akbar but none of the mughal emperors did it. Yes Jehangir, Shah Jehan & Aurangzeb they all led armies when they were princes. but none of them led armies during their respective terms as Emperors.

The CV's have twisted facts & in some cases even shuffled times according to there convenience.

Now a days it is trend to dramatize every thing, the central character is shown like avatar of god on earth & other side characters as nothing & negative characters as demons. In this case CV's have to know it is not fiction but History & they have to stick to facts.

Now lets see how they show Coronation of Maharana Pratap, Battle of Haldi Ghati etc.

Shrinath,

I can understand you. The points are very much valid. Though, I would like to add a few points.

Always, historicals have been the same. Take any show. I remember many friends of mine gave me example of an old show - Prithviraj Chauhan, the one enacted by Rajat Tokas - as an authentic show. Even they had taken liberty at many many places.

For ex : Bhima Dev was not killed by PRC but there, they had shown it.!!! And, PRC's father died in a different manner as shown in that show. So, such things are done everywhere. I think these days, we all "scrutinize" each and every aspect of the show more than we did earlier. This also helps in knowing more about the reality. :)

I won't comment on the reason of Akbar not fighting with Pratap.

Yes, I also don't remember about Jahangir and Shah Jahan, leading forces "personally" when they became Kings but Aurangzeb always led his forces. Even at the age of 82, he mounted a horse and commanded his forces in the battle - field!
