My dear Debastuti,
I am glad you enjoyed this post so much. I too enjoyed your comments, which are all to the point. But somehow this Nandini irritates me. Maybe it is her nearly non-existent nose!😉 I am sure the adult Nandini will be much better, and in any case, by the end of the Monday episode, the grown up, at least 18 year old Chandragupta will also be there. Not the grown up Nandini, seeing the age difference of 8 years between them, Let us see.

I loved this review so much Aunty!! 🤗 You're awesome. 😳
I liked the episode quite a lot too, unlike the bogus starting episode and the following two... Besides giving us a clearer view on little Chandra's character and Nandni's innocent love and dependence to her father, the episode introduces 3 important characters- Amatya Rakkshas, Alexander and the most awaited one-Chanakya...Amartya Rakhshas looks like a rakhshas literally! 🤣 🤣 I was first full confused after seeing his one glance. Who was the bald old peculiar man with peculiar expressions accompanying him? 😆 His first meeting with Chandra is fascinating where Chandra successfully catches his admiration.The choice of Alexander is very much apt for the role I feel. But I agree with you to-to about the Hindi dialogues in English pronunciation. It sounds funny and irritating at times as well. When they are providing subtitles why can't they go for Greek co-locals (if Greek is tough for Hindi TV show, they can try English...at least sounds better than Hinglish 😆 )I never watched CAS so no chance of getting disappointed with the choice of Chanakya with the experience of CAS; In DKDM he was quite good, but what I felt then that he is very soft and affectionate one, too much to be a persona like Chanakya (May be for I was constantly comparing him with the Chanakya of 2012's ChandraGupta Maurya who was the most apt fit for the role I think). But after watching his entry I hope I will like him afterwards with the story development... Chanakya's entry was neat and perfect, waiting for his confrontation with Nand and the famous oath and the most awaited meeting with Chandragupta. I loved the significance of the last scene just like you, and your review made the feelings more saturated. 😳Chandra's never-bending, determined nature, regal attitude, majestic authority along with a blend of measured arrogance in it is very much clearer in this particular episode. Chandra's hatred towards love seemed a bit forceful to me at 3rd episode, but here I can feel the insecurity towards love that he feels... Any boy of his age must feel the same devastated and angry in this kind of family structure where father beats mother and him for not giving money to drink and mother continuously tries to compromise with all the domestic violence and torture in a conventional belief of love and lecturing her son to do the same. These incidences will remain a like a scar in his whole life making him apathetic to love itself, and his mother will be the only responsible for this. 😡Nandni is just as cute, adorable and innocent as any girl of her age. She is too small to see the evil side of her father; in her age it is impossible for her to believe that her father can be an evil man, just like any girl, and her love, dependency and bond with her father is very much real and realistic... Nandni is ignorant of the dirty world in which she is born; for her all the evilness are captured inside the demons and monsters of fairy-tales, she cannot place his father in the place of those monsters as like every daughter her father is the superhero for her too... The contrast between the childhood of Chandra and Nandni is very intriguing. One has to struggle with reality in every moment, another is unknown to the word struggle itself...The story has pace and it is taking form very swiftly. Waiting for today's episode eagerly and also for your review on that of-coarse. 😃
