Chandra Nandini 3: Moonrise - Page 8

My dearest Ashwinee,

I am glad that you liked all the first 3 posts. Now to see what you make of No.4. The first 2 episodes were lousy, but now the quality is slowly improving. I also have high hopes that this Nandini will not revive any old memories!

As for your question, maybe she liked bodybuilders😆. She saw him when he came to cut her husband the Maharaja's hair, and fell for him with a thud - some women have a taste for lowlife - and then got him to cut off the head instead.

Or it could be a simple "inspiration" from the Grimm's fairy tales, where it is often a tailor or woodcutter who ends up marrying the princess and becoming the king😉. But those were innocuous chaps, not like this Kans clone.

Dearest Shymala aunty,

Loved all 3 of your posts (and have hit like too😃) but I must say that your writing is the saving grace of Ek's take on GGM's origins and these episodes, no matter whether researched or not, woven around RT or not. The rushed coverage of this part perhaps shows how eager Ek is to reach adult CGM, and I for one absolutely do not mind that she is since the quality of performances and content is as 'apparent' as any beauty 😉

Keeping firmly in mind both your mandates, this much should suffice! 😉

Just one question -

Why a napit and why this particular one? Where would the queen meet him in the first place to fall (figuratively and metaphorically 😛 ) for him? ( I hope I am not giving EK any ideas for flashback tracks!)

Warmest Regards

Ashwinee

Thank you for all the rest of your comments, my darling girl, with almost all of which I agree, but especially for this one. I was VERY pleased with the title - I first thought of Chandroday - but no one else, bar you, even noticed it!😭

So a special and extra big hug for you!🤗

As for the crack about needing an online dictionary, I am used to that by now, and it simply rolls off me like water off a duck's back!😉

I quickly watched the last 3 epis today morning in ff mode...my take:

1)the Mura delivery scene was too crude & could have been done a lot more aesthetically , I thought...🤢...I understand the tough circumstances, yet it could have been a lot more effective...the actress is horrendous, I think...this is a clear cut case of "like poles" attract 😆...the horrendous Nand lusting after the equally horrendous Mura 😆(I'm surprised at myself that I don't feel any empathy at all for Mura 🤢)

Mura looks and acts crudely in almost every scene so far.🤢 Sh reminds me of an Aukhli (The au se aukhli wala) more than a queen. Teapot was much better. If Avantika's taste was horrible, Nand's is worse.🤢

2)I thought that the young CGM scenes were good in terms of content, but poor in terms of execution, primarily because of the sub-par acting & poor dialogue delivery...but a good build up of RT''s CGM has definitely happened...the mountain climbing scene was truly symbolic in many ways, which you have described so well...

Also, CGM hating "love" was well coceptualised, but poorly executed, i thought...also, the fast pace of the story of cgm''s childhood is not helping the execution...

(I hope CGM likes to bathe at least twice a day 😉😆)

Now that we have had logical sequences as to why Chandru thinks Prem is a weakening agent, we also need the build up to why he thinks snan is very important in life.😉😆

Here I am, wearing my fingers out till past midnight last night to get to page 4 of the comments, and getting up before 6 am to do the next post, and this is all the appreciation I get! you kids have got much worse in the last 2 years plus. Quite out of hand, in fact.

You need to be solidly disciplined and weaned off all this amateur blackmailing. Leave that to the professionals, my pets!
