Chandra Nandini 8: The game advances - Page 4

Aunty I have unreserved my post on Page 2. I too wasn't giggly when I was in college or university before the boys. I wasn't a tomboy but I was a firebrand, and that too a bit of feminist one at that, and all the boys in our class used to run scared or helter skelter from me. I remember many girls of our class used to display the same kind of giggling irritating behavior. I could hardly relate to them. I found many of them and their concerns like what to do to get rid of a pimple on your face, etc really vapid and frivolous. I also could never fit into those groups. Having fun is a different thing from leading an aimless and meandering life to no purpose. These young ladies fell into that category.

My dear Gemini,

Welcome to my threads! And thank you for an unusual and graceful compliment.

It might, however, be a good idea to watch the show, beginning with Episode 4. One can never fully replace the visual with mere words!

Your writing reads like a novel. I feel like I am reading a chapter a day and look forward to the next. The funny part I am yet to watch the show

Thank you, my dear Manasi, but actually I am feeling very cross after being stuck with my far less interesting Option B (did you read the revised version, also on page 1, of part of the original post?), which I did not like at all. Anyway, I suppose I should be gratified at having got at least that right, for usually my scores in the matter of predicting what is going to happen are dismal. 😆

Your Mura guess came true, but it was not too melodramatic, and then she was needed for his escape. I realised, after I had outlined my Option B, that they could not let him find out about her being his mother so soon. That is reserved for Episode 150!

As I wrote above to Shreya, I loved Chandragupta today in the court scene with Padmanand.He triumphed effortlessly, and the look on his face when the real Raja Parvatak turns up, thru sheer bad luck for our hero, was unbelievably cool. He actually smiled broadly,saying Nissandeh!, even though he knew what was going to happen to him, and I was almost clapping at the bravura insouciance of it all.

I find that Nandini still irritates me. Like today when she was sitting in the court, bobbing her head up and down like a silly cheerleader for her Dhan Bhaiyya, and grinning intermittently. I loved the shellshocked look on her face when Chandragupta floors her Dhan Bhaiyya and could have easily killed him.

Now I hope he takes her along a hostage part of the way, slung across his saddle like a sack of potatoes, and once he is far enough away to feel safe, dumps her unceremoniously by the roadside, preferably in a nice puddle of mud. A free mudpack!. 😉

Hello Aunty...😃

Lovely Analysis as usual...👏👏👏

Thanks for pm .

That idea of deliberate plan you have put here is interesting , chandra is way more smart & he must be having his own plans but since last two episodes were moora free...who knows there might be some moora angle waiting for us...😛

Aha the pleasure of you dissecting a new show. Let me admit that i have not watched all episodes but briefly tried to catch up on 10/19 show on you tube while watching the debate. 😲. (Democracy getting ?ed ).

Loved the title. KBM

I caught JA a little late probably when both primary actors were seasoned in that role. I was not that enamoured with Rajat (have not watched his entry episode yet) and did not get his inner resolve yet probably because I myself as yet have not taken in by CGM yet.

I found Nandini very irritating (more so than Jodha with her bhashan baji), childish and completely unlike a princess of those times. Do not know much about how emancipated females were than probably more so than the dark ages that befell us with Sati and all.

Gautami as a comic relief also seems very artificial to me..(probably a short role hence no time wasted on building a character).

Hope i can put my critical mind aside while watching the show but looking forward to enjoy your writing sans the show.

Lovely post! I presume women were not so backward and uninitiated during those dark ages as you put it. Female emancipation of those times was a wide and varied mix. Sati, child marriage were later day evils that crept up into the Indian society after Muslim invasions. Sati existed since time immemorial, but it was not actually forced upon the women. In the Middle Ages, it became a tactic the relatives of the dead man used for the sake of property. In earlier times, women had the freedom to choose their course of life after their husband's death. Though the majority might not have had or felt the benefits of female freedom, there were some exceptional ladies and women of substance in every era. It depended a lot on their level of education, financial position and family support and backing. We have had female poets and writers, women who practically ruled kingdoms as regents on behalf of their sons, some who even functioned in the cabinets of ruling kings in key administrative positions.

Oh I meant women were probably more emancipated before the dark ages befell on us with art and beauty enjoying prominence. The doubt comes bcoz Chandra refuses to fight a woman..probably out of respect or divided roles??

Looks like a fast paced and good episode. I am yet to watch it. Just a small doubt. You were telling that Chandra met Moora. Does he know his real identity then? Does he know what Padmanand did to his father and mother? It would be really interesting if he gets to know at this point. It will intensify his hatred for Padmanand and give him one more reason to overthrow him. A lot of self-righteous anger and feeling of revenge you know!

Aunty,if u don't mind,can I write my analysis of today's episode here?😳By the time u will write ur analysis,I will forget what I have to write.😆

Today's episode was a better one.

Today we saw the hard as well as soft side of Chandra.

As I said yesterday,I am happy that they didn't drag the 'Nandini pretending to bea daasi' for a long time.When Chandra saw Nandini as a princess,he was surprised for a second butother than that,there was no other feeling.😃I am glad his focus is still on his mission than Nandini.

WhenPadmanand challenged Chandra to take part in the sword fight,I liked the smile that he gave as is he is all ready for the challenge.😃Even after getting exposed as a 'behroopiya' by Padmanand and Malayketu's father(whose getup was more like a sage than a king),there was no worry or nervousness or fear on Chandra's face.So far,Ekta is giving full justice to Chandra's character.

I am not happy with the actor who was cast as Dhananand.Dhananand was an evil man and this guy doesn't look like evilfrom any angle.He is not even half as evil as his father.

I enjoyed the fightscene and then Chandra refusing to marry Nandini.Nandini's ego hurt for a second that someone rejected her and she felt insulted.

The scene where Padmanand was thrashing Chandra showedChandra's strong side.

In the scene with Moora,they showed his soft side.No matter how muchhard training he got from Chanakya but he is still a little boy who needs his Maa after getting hurt badly.I loved that scene too.

By now,Avantika is in full on hate mode for Padmanand and she wants her daughter tosee the real face of her father.But I feel that was not the right time to say the truth to her.I want Avantika to show Nandini her father's evil actions first then make her believe he is not a great human as she thinks.Only Avantika can show Nandini Padmanand's evil actions.

Coming to performances,Rajat was as usual rocking.

Arpit needs to do something on his dialogue delivery.He speaks dialogues so fast that sometimes I can't get what he is talking.

Swetha is a good actress but she doesn't show the grace that a rajkumari has.I have noticed in promos as well as in today's episode,when she was walking to the darbar,that grace in her walk was missing.She was walking so fast as if she has to catch a train.She doesn't have that adaof a princess.

Anyways,I always enjoy reading ur posts.😊

I was never like that, for I was always individualistic and would not have known what to do in such company. When I was growing up, I was a tomboy.

Okay, I get the kind of groups you are referring to.


There are no boys in my school since it isn't a co-ed one. 😆


I don't think I ever was or ever will be one of the giggly and drama types. Though yes, I do spend a lot of my day simply laughing off...😆


@shailusri1983... Yeah I know those 'tense for pimple' girlies you are referring to...But such kinds are nothing more than laughing stocks...🤣
