Imagine a class room where teacher tells students for today's assignment write on life of Samrat Ashok. All students do that based on their abilities and teacher grades them. Then selects the worst written barely passing marks story and says we are going to create a drama from it. This is what Contiloe seems to have done.

They cast fabulous actors, good sets, good costumes (ok baring Ashok & Dharma but that is another story!) and then went ahead and gave the responsibility to write to the most sadistic negative inconsistent writers they could find. They go and turn all good characters foolish and ineffective!


Does Colors care about its serials anymore? Isn't this the channel that started with concern about the girl child? Balika Vadhu - Na Aana is Des Ladoo - what are they showing now? Ichhadhari Nagins, Black Magic, Voodoo, chetuk, Mantravidya. I guess as long as TRPs come rest all can go to 🤬 So they proudly show promos of slithering snakes & women turning into witches or whatever. 🤢🤢🤢


Have CAS writers who wrote Prabhari Samrat track actually watched CAS from the start? Did they have idea about how Ashok character was shaped at the start? The spunky sharp intelligent astute brave naughty Samrat Vanraj.
What made them change Ashok into a totally gullible do gooder foolish young man? Maybe inability to write track without turning Ashok foolish? 😡🤢🤢


They killed off Chanakya and destroyed the soul of CAS. Ashok-Chanakya scenes were the BEST part of CAS. What viewers eagerly waited for in every episode. Why viewers suffered thru the torture of Prabhari Samrat track - thinking no wait Chanakya will come back and set things right. Sushim will be punished. What viewers got instead was Ashok almost die by hanging while a Sushim got away with barely audible hostile forced sorry to Ahankara. 😡


I do not buy Manoj Joshi was unprofessional planted stories at all. Actors are the most helpless lot in this industry. The big PHs and big channels, who will go against them to correct if they want to work here? A person who has spent decades in this industry in theater and survive well - does not do that by being unprofessional.

The CVs did nothing to develop Radhagupta's character before Chanakya was killed off. That is indicating to sudden ending of Chanakya not a planned exit.


This is a torture fest such mind numbing horrible negativity where they have a 12 year old so far decent child murder an old man for no plausible reason. Where a Khal gets more lines to say in one episode than an Akramak gets to say in entire month! Why would he want to continue in CAS!

Seeing Khal and Charu faces makes me want to puke nowadays. Viewers KNOW that no punishment will be given to murders of Chanakya, nor will Ashok RG or Bindusaar get an inkling who committed the murder.


The CVs here think draping actors in royal costumes & loads of jewelry means royalty then they get a free reign to write plots around vamps & villains and turn Ashok into bahu of sbs by constantly show him tortured physically and mentally.

There are only 2 positive characters left in CAS - Ashok and Radhagupta.

For a single sensational episode the CVs here think nothing about butchering a character developed over months. So when a Bindusaar gets Ashok almost hanged to death BEFORE EVEN SUSHIM HAS DIED - he turns forever pathetic father and worthy of viewers disgust.

Dharma is the most pathetic character of CAS, how can Pallavi BEAR TO SEE HERSELF in that pathetic costume? She is a stylish elegant well dressed person - and her character does not demand a frumpy costume - ok make that 2 costumes - which are a cross between nine yard sari and sari tucked into waistband when women are doing housework! She was in one costume for almost 3 weeks, we should not even think about hygiene! 🤢🤢🤢
Say Dharma and she has to cry beg shake and faint! 😡🤢

Vamps & Villains get costumes by the dozens but Ashok has one royal pathetic idiotic caped costume and Dharma has two!


Even leaving all that aside, they are not even telling a good story - there is NO Rajkumar Ashok here, only overdose of Charu Khal Sushim 🤢🤢


Killed off Chanakya making him fall into a trap that he would not have fallen for in a million years 😡 I can't put into words the contempt I feel for the writers who have destroyed CAS with their negativity sadism and their limited abilities. 😡


They killed off Chanakya - now next torture track viewers KNOW nobody is coming to right the ugliness there won't be any exposure of vamps or villains - punishment! What a joke - vamps and villains flourish here - the leads are there only so that vamps can torture someone and gloat.

This is not about Samrat Ashok - this is about sbs bahu tortured by the evil everybody and unending negativity and sadism.


I used to watch CAS with such interest for story of Samrat Ashok - now I sincerely wish CAS closes down due to lack of TRPs.

Sid deserves better, he has got all he could out of Ashoka character - now he is developing set mannerisms and seems bored half the time. Who can blame the poor guy when all he has to do is cry or get tortured?!

The only people here who deserve a big kudos are the actors - they are the ONLY reason viewers are still watching CAS - I should say were watching cos TRPs need to be seen after Chanakya exit.


Samrat Ashok deserves his story to be told - but he deserves better than what is shown using his name. If only some other PH makes it the way he deserves to.



PS : who here is STILL watching CAS for the characters or watching only for their favorite actors?

Totally agreed.

Chanakya have been portrayed as wisest person in every case but here he does a foolish thing by trusting Khallatak and going alone to the place. And the notable thing is Most of the Time Chanakya is alone, walking freely here and there. So if it was so easy to kill chanakya why didnt they kill him before ?

It is really painful Maddy... The CAS thatvsparked off with s7ch magnificience and such class turned into such an illogical pathetic show...
I am watching show sometimes in bits and parts only for Sidd... I loved Sumedh and Faizan too... bt their characters have turned coal black and evil that I do not wish to see Sushim and Siamak...

Earlier I used to wait for Sushim and Ashok 's Tashan... they were so good... Sushim 's sharp taunts and Ashok 's witty replies... all the compassionate and sweet conversations between Ashok and Siamak... The tense relationship between Sushim and Siamak... all were very good... and I used to love watching all characters... it was great FUN...
Even Justin and Helena 's scenes were good... Interaction between Shubrasi and Charumitra and Noor... Sushim and Drupad scenes... all were very cute... the characters were grey...
Sushim loathed Ashok and tortured him... bt was soft to his youngest brother... obedient to his mother... and adorable to his lady love (well that holds no importance now... bt Tunisha could have been brought as a heroine for Sidd and a girl fr Sumedh too... dat wud hv been much better)

Charumitra had all evils with her... bt she was soft to Shubrasi... cared about her son..

Helena was also evil... bt she had stains of the injustice she had to face at a tender age... making her the strong and determined woman she now is... her love and care for her son...

Justin... a very human character torn between love for mother and love for his woman... who was weak to say a no to his ambitious mother... striving to fulfill her expectations...bt yet want to keeo his love life...

Siamak... a very intelligent and compassionate Prince who was worthy enough a heir if brought out from the influence of his greedy mother and cunning grandfather... his flaw was his mother 's and grandfather 's wrong advices and him being easily manipulated by them... bt yet was strong enough to stop his grandfather 's soldiers from molesting a woman...

Khallatak... was an obedient disciple of Chanakya and a pretty well Minister... provided his care for the law system and had the balls to stop a Prince from unofficially punishing a stable worker... had traces of hurt jealousy when Chanakya overtakes him.. and even initially tried to forego the Queen 's attempts to make him against Chanakya... though a bit jealous... he had high regard for Bharat 's ultimate political kingmaker... didn't even realize when I started to hate him...

Bindusar... benovelent and strict king with a high regad for Acharya Chanakya and the law system and cared forr his people... A King who fulfilled his promises... his biggest flaw was his blindness to his own family members' atrocities... that his identity was mostly Samrat Chandragupta Maurya 's son and Samrat Ashoka Maurya 's father gives us a hint that he might have been a great warrior bt lacked the X factor that his father and his son possessed... acceptable character was he... bt later... completely turned into a fool whose anger and grief had not much justification... was better still.. bt now totally hopeless...

Dharma... a woman who was brave enough challenge the most praised Brahmin of that time to protect her only child... who used to stand strong with her views... who was hesitant in forgiving the unpardonable sin done to her and believing the same man again... bt now... just a puppet who can be played by anyone... a very silly and terrified woman who just knows to shiver shake go hyper and cry...

Ahankara... brave and fierce Princess who didn't flinch to disobey her own family on realizing their treachery... bt turned into cry baby and a torture toy for her ex boyfriend..bt I think her character has not been much damaged... and probably regained her light now (Thank Almighty)

Radhagupt and Akramak... good potential strong characters... one a smart and obedient disciple and the other a brave warrior and patriot... bt along with time reduced to mere furnitures...

Ashoka... the most smart fierce intelligent and bravest of all of Samrat Bindusar 's sons... an absolutely no nonsense boy... who had the correct sense of right and wrong... his only flaw was his rawness and lack of royality bt was bought to Pataliputra by Chanakya to eliminate his these only flaws... that process of elimination which was the foundation on which this whole show was build up... bt now as Maddy rightly said... the newest bahu in the market... who always cries and begs... a sacrificial lamb and a torture toy for everyone... who got so blinded by the sudden realization of him being a part of a huge Royal family... trying to make up for all the lost years of loneliness... A character who has been butchered the maximum next being Dharma...

CHANAKYA... A character thankfully not butchered... except for the last scene... his exit scene which made all the magnificience of his past glory faded.. a highly disappointing death...

I think Shubrasi and Drupad are the only characters that are remaining neutral... they tried to project Shubrasi as a vamp a bit but thankfully... not much distortions... Drupad still remains the sweet youngest brother and sweetest son... What is left to see is Drupad trying to kill Ashoka on the manipulation of Sushim and Siamak.. which strongly pray does not happen...


Phew... wrote so much... had to vent out my feelings somewhere... thanks Maddy for opening this thread...
