A lot of fans of the show have been underwhelmed by the episodes after the Leap and the new cast.I think it's early days yet.But the show certainly has room for improvement.What do you think needs to be done to improve CAS? Here are a few of my suggestions

1. Make Chund truly Chund. Remember pre-leap Ashok smearing honey on a corrupt Adhikari and leaving him for the bees.That's what I'm talking about.Not angry Hulk smashing buildings on his way.Or as Krystal said in the EDT, don't make him a Mills & Boon romance hero with a dark-disturbed-past.

2. Don't portray Ashok as a 70s masala superhero.Don't make him commit superhuman heroics like jumping over a cliff or handling 100 men all by himself.We don't want another Bahubali.

3.Give him some dignity please.I don't care what SRK's Ashok did.But making THE Ashok dance on tabletops is a bit too much.

4.I know that you have to have some romance.But don't make the mistake of thinking that this is another Bollywood movie. Enough with the diya nonsense.Don't make Bollywood's mistake of thinking that there's only one-and-only-one true love for the hero.Don't underestimate the Indian viewers.We can take a polygamistic hero.Don't make Devi into another Shubrasi.Give due importance to all the wives.

5.Make Ashok do something about amassing a mercenary army instead of twiddling his thumbs at home quarreling with his mother and waiting for something to happen.Make him pro-active.

6.And DON'T bring back Sid to the show as Ashok's son.The viewers will then have a hard time accepting Mohit as Ashok then.

1.i am fine with the dance part now.ashoka hd a concubine n he loved her deeply as he was impressed by her dancing skills.I dont think dancing is any was non decent infact its an art...n ashoka before converting into Buddhism was a shiv bhakt n as v all knw natraja form of shiv is A God of dance
If ashoka cn keep concubine I dont think showing alcohol is any issue just dat they shldnt make him look like DEVDAS
2.i m not liking this too much importance given to ashwaki...or even ashok-Devi love angle...i want to know how hes gonna plant revenge on sushim
But as v all knw romance nowadays is d new TRP
3.TOO MUCH STRECH ON TAANTRIK N SUPERNATURAL POWERS SHOULD B AVOIDED
THOUGH MANY PPL DID ENJOY IT BT I DON'T SUPPORT THIS KINDA NEGATIVE FICTION
4.Most important I want ashoka the strategist n nt ashoka d love struck devdaas
5.too much Chand Giri ll definitely I doubt d typical indian audience might accept as v all live in a country where GOPI BAHU IN SNS HS THE NO.1 TRPS
6.I WANT THE REVENGE STORY N NT D LOVE STORY B IT KAURWAKI OR DEVI OR WATEVER

@Nikitap94 Nothing wrong with Ashok taking a drink now and then.😆We can understand his frustration.Dharma is an overprotective mother holding her chicks close.She has to back down and let Ashok take risks.For such an active person like Ashok, being forced to remain at home with a humdrum middle class life is worse than death.

I guess we are all waiting for the EPIC Ashok-Sushim meeting.The superstitious tantrik nonsense should definitely be toned down.Instead Sushim should use his brains to discredit Ashok.And Ashok should make plans instead of constantly being on the defense.In the pre-leap portion he was always forced to defend himself.He never made any plans to discredit Sushim in the Samrat's eyes.That has to change.He certainly needs to work on his strategies.For eg: Ashok is in Avantipur in Ujjain now.He should definitely be contacting Ahankara who has the huge Ujjain army at her disposal.

U said just what I wanted to say. Completely agree, can't even say anything more than quoting ur post. And Sushim... They do need to tone the black magic down a bit, becoming a big nuisance now

Stop calling him chand and show him as chand😵 end his mahanta, make him forget kaurwaki for sometime🤢 stop making kaurwaki "in ur face" warrior princess, stop potraying the whole world except ashoka as negative🥱 put an end to the supernatural elements

I don't mind Kaurwaki being shown as a Warrior Princess.Much better than her jalta diya nonsense.She needs to have a life other than mooning over Ashok all the time.Just don't focus all the attention on her.

Asoka had not been the quint essential bad guy and he isn't Sushim to act all evil. The transition will be there for sure when he will become a ruthless emperor in pursuit of Akhand Bharat assuming conquering the world and enslaving it will fulfill his dream.
As for him indulging in pleasure, he is a young prince and back then I am sure there was no such rule binding them to restrain themselves 😆

One major complaint most of them seem to have is that Mohit looks old. And also since he put on a lot of weight and looks bulky he looks older than his age. True he isn't young but Asoka is a larger than life character and u needed an actor of his calibre. For that matter I didn't see many forum members complaining for other shows like Mahabharat where the kids look older than their parents 😆 Did Shaheer really look like Abhimanyu's father? or did the actor playing Bheem and Duryodhan look like they could be Kunti and Gandhari's son? But at least in Mahabharata they made some of the characters appear old whereas here that is not there. I agree actors have a problem with grey hairs but give them a more mature look at least. Dharma looks like Devi's friend and not an aunt 😆

I know its too early but I wish they replace Soumya Seth 😵 Such a big letdown she is 😵 and I am not interested to see AshWaki epic love story and as per history it was not Kaurvaki who helped Asoka transform, it was his own conscience that guided him but I can see the show heading that route now 🤢 For a king like Asoka romance wasn't exactly the top of his priorities and he loved his other queens too though Kaurvaki might have been his favorite. But here am sure they will make it appear as if he obliged his other queens by accepting them and his one true eternal love will remain Kaurvaki 😵

Do something for Ashok's costume.. that brown harness stuff on his shoulders is bothering me... Simple dhoti and a patta in front would have been sufficient
make Dharma look old... for God's sake she has gone 10 yrs back

Bring in some clarity into the characterization of Ashoka

Ashok's love life can remain at periphery.. frst and foremost importance shd be given to his struggle to attain the throne

Most Important.. get a good story writer on board Plzz
