Its not about PRC. Its about the feel a historical show is expected to deliver. CN fails miserably at it.

There is no common sense even in the script

When you criticize a show and its character some say why are you criticizing it or why are you watching it ? But I think it's time that people voice their disliking. If we won't say anything, people like Ekta and Gul will show us the same crap again and again. 🤢

There is nothing to like about the show. Not even the chemistry of the leads. 😆 Still we are crazy enough to watch the show like besharams. 😆

Ekta is ekta. Sagars are Sagars. Sagars were iconic in this genre.

Ekta's shows have basically the same storyline everytime.hate turning into love. Why can't she stick to her saas bahus? Picking up random emperors are turning them into cartoons.

I had learnt my lesson with JA. And I had told myself not to expect much,but this is just too much of nonsense.

JA was much better than this during its initial days. Atleast the script was better. Even if there was a lot of fiction.

But CN is sheer madness. It's become almost comical now.

Idk why am I even complaining. Couldn't help it today I guess.



Yaaa I m saying same thing dear .
PRC and DV action was much better than ekta's serials . arreee sagar's shows was also fiction mix history but they were much much much better than ekta's stupid historical fiction serials 😡
And yaaa you r right even jodha Akbar much better than this CN.
Why are they using in very scenes this poor VFX 😡
I think they have not proper land to shoot this type of horse riding scenes.
😆

What I want to say dear. If we will not say anything about these type of idiot things then we can't get anything good and at least decent shows or films for us.
😭

When I said these things ,some people on this forum was opposite on my words.
I am not against of characters or anything because I know it is fictional historical show.
But u can't destroy a reputation of a historical legend warrior. 😡
I think ekta showed jalal more decently and interestingly than Chandra Gupta Maurya.

I know ekta is created fictional historical saga but pahale jaisa feel to las sakati hain.
Arre environment to create kar sakati hain history jaisa .
⭐️

And jis ne PRC nahi dekha hain then go to hotstar and please see old episodes of PRC.
Tum kuch accha lage na lage action to bahut pasand aayega 😉

Exactly we have so many ways to express what we like and dislike nowadays: FB, Twitter, Forums.

Even I want to watch the show and appreciate it. Rajat, CGM, Chanakya are the reasons. But if they are not improving then I don't know if I can continue to take the crap.

The title of this post is CN, a tale of strategic intelligence or outright stupidity.so,i thought u wud have written abt both positive & negative aspects of CN.its really disappointing to see u talking only abt negative aspects.there are lot of good things in the serial.wish u had touched upon those aspects too.
anyways, ppl only see what they want to see.

It's sheer talent on the part of Ekta and her team of 'creatives' that an emperor who was known for his sense of political strategy has been reduced to an idiotic motor mouth who vomits everything he supposedly 'plans' to the enemy. I may or may not have been threatened by my ma that she would not allow me to watch TV. Apparently, a 20 year old yelling "Contradiction number I have lost count" does not amuse her. But the sheer stupidity of him giving Daasi! Nandini an overview of his masterplan made me question his commonsense. Like I know Chanakya made him into a weapon to be wielded for the greater good but surely that didn't reduce him to a toddler who can't keep things in his stomach.

A good leader does have confidence,but over confidence reeks of weakness and stupidity.

Here we have Chandragupta,who has been taught to follow the Chanakya Neeti by Chanakya himself fooling around in the palaces and tents of the enemy doing comical scenes about his skirt. That was a painful thing to watch

I'm not against comedy, but when it comes at the cost of establishing the strength of logic in one of India's biggest emperors,it does leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Picture me crying because you feel what i feel.

These 'creatives' have so creatively written scenes after scenes displaying nothing but idiocy. Yes. This.

Chanakya Neeti spoke of strategies and logic and how everything you do must have a purpose. I haven't cracked open the book yet but yes.

Now here,what exactly is Chandra doing? And what is Chanakya teaching him? First he sent him off to the palace,this atleast started off well,it looked like an educational exploration of the palace for a future plan for an attack maybe? But that idea too was soon forgotten and it failed miserably to deliver when he confessed it to the daasi. When he got caught,I was expecting some smart thinking on his part to get out of the situation It's like he had an accident with his mouth the way kids do with their bladders when they are very young. Like word vomit thanks to his excitement of sorts. He doesn't really seem the I'm fulfilling my destiny peppy YA protag. So why?

But no,he had to go the filmy way.

Now the same is being repeated with Sikander. I fail to understand why the 'firangi' are not speaking in their native language. Even if they say,chalo its a hindi daily, so we'll make them talk in hindi. But even the hindi dialect is confused on its own. They have have mixed urdu with it. The eyeroll is strong with this one. So is the laughter. Like. Aristotle would be ashamed to admit he knew Sikandar. Also,they talk to each other in that hybrid Urindi and to Porous he talked in English. Like, what is the logic behind that? Are these Greeks some sort of Urdu-Hindi Weeabos who can't talk to a native?

But I must say,these firangi have such great hold of the language. They are even saying proverbs in hindi and urdu.😆They get better lines than the leads here! I had to ask ma about some of the things they said.

Also,why were there desi soldiers? Maybe they work for them,Im not sure. In any case,there were only desi soldiers,lack of funds to get safed chamdi eh Ekta? *Giggle*

This reminds me,I feel the Vfx team has been given a hefty amount,as these people have possibly done everything they could do. Every other scene has cgi now. And it doesn't help with things.

On the other hand,the stuntmen seem to be on a hartaal. Such poorly choreographed scenes. Like. Um. Bad.

Worst of all though, are the cameramen. What the hell are these guys smoking? Does every scene needs to have a jerky camera? Ha! I had a huge discussion with ma about this and she said I'm overanalyzing.

While Chandra's horse riding was so poorly shot ( Seriously? You needed a dummy horse ride to show his close up? this guy out of all?
I suggest you guys watch a few episodes of Prithviraj Chauhan and one of his signature moves were on the horse. What style! It was so well captured) And then look at CN. Ridiculous! My thoughts to a T.

Can't they take front view shots as opposed to top view? Pointing and screaming

However,today's episode which had Nandini's sword fighting scene was shot decently well. Better than what was done so far.

This show has no spark. Its stale and tasteless. Nothing excites me. Its not growing on me at all. There should be some USP atleast. 🥱 Yesterday's epi was a waste .

The Indian television has been taking its audience for granted and has been producing bad products one after the other forcing it down our throats. This is what gets the trps they say. Why? Are we stupid that we need to watch stupid shows? Maybe there is an audience which does enjoy this kind of storyline,but tv is meant for anyone. What kind of shows are people who enjoy a bit of logic in the script and some sanity going to watch? Oh man you get me . you get me. that's all I have to say.
