Hello dear Aunt! I hope you had a good rest and are feeling better. Health comes first.😊
You explained the highlights smashingly so I will only add some tidbits that stood out to me.
Arya Dhan :
Eldest son of a king, heir apparent to a powerful kingdom and amiable husband to an otherwise unattractive wife. I recall the murder of the old man who refused to pay taxes and point out that this son along with his siblings were not just bystanders but active participants in the old man's demise. So Arya Dhan carries the cruel streak of his father but Dhan bhaiya keeps that evil side of him away from his family.
They say that he is unbeatable with a sword but in his interactions with his sister or wife, you would not guess that this dhai pann lifting yoddha could be anything but a gentle brute. But history tells us that Dhananand killed all his brothers to ascend the throne so I am curious about the angle CVs can take this man through. Is he a potential villain left unexplored or a plot twist in the making?
Gautami as Comic relief:
She is obscenely fat, loud and obnoxious. She is also a princess with an uncluttered heart and naive mind. Primarily she is supposed to be a point of hilarity but with the aid of her waddling gait that traverses amidst this palace, she adds humanity to the villain's lair. But alas, she is on the wrong side and has her red string of fate tied to the man who must become a rival to our hero.
This dynasty of Nand is fated to suffer but when we have people like Gautami mixed in the fray, their fortold demise cannot be taken with complete apathy on the part of the viewer.
Nandini as Chandra's counterpart:
A mischievous tinker-bell who is a sly minx in the making. She doesn't stand still in one place for long, does she? A trouble-making mistress of the palace who can bend to her betters but not break. For that is how she has been raised by her father, as an equal to any man. In a time of old, she can declare openly her desire to not marry without fear of grave rebuttal and even if that does not work, her brothers and father do accept her impossible condition for marriage.
She reminds me of flowing water, moving at her own pace, tumbling merrily as a waterfall or meandering around obstacles. As water gives life, she too brings life to a corrupted palace. As water gives succour to the thirsty, she too provides pure love to an unlovable man greedy for love. Does this flowing water also have the power to flood the earth and bring catastrophe?
Chandra, as his guru indirectly pointed out, is a steady, immovable, indestructible mountain. He is Nandini's opposite. Serious and focused. But a mountain is only a pile of accumulating soil if there are no roots to hold that soil together, no activity to solidify its loose earth to stone. Does this lifeless mountain have the ability to birth the green trees that it needs?
Just somethings to think on.
