Hi All-

Happy Deepavali/ Diwali to all! Wishing you all bright days of happiness, peace, and prosperity.

So, I am back with my next thread for week of October 24th. It is week three of the serial and it is already going full steam ahead.

This week had its share of funny moments ... Yes, I liked it very much! 😆

Chandra (or was it Rajat) making fun of his own skirt or

Chandu in Promo 😛

Chandu in his mini skirt😳

Helena tossing over Mohan 2 the Tiger in a way that made you think why Jalal struggled so much ... it is that easy.

May be Helena had tiger biscuits for energy just before the encounter😉

Damn this tiger looks a lot better than CN😆

That being said- some things like the Greeks dropping their accents sometimes in Hindi can be forgiven - after all the audience needs to understand them. Overall, the drama is still a bit high pitched, but there are a few key points they clearly wanted to convey and it was about the dynamics of the characters that was emerging.

1. Guru Shishya: This week I liked Chandra and Chanakya's increased focus on their mission ... there was less talk and more action. Chandra was in disguise and used tact to make sure no one recognized him ... like using the beehive as an escape to beeline from being discovered by the Magadh family. While his lapses of being outspoken seemed off, they did help win the attention and trust of Helena, which may have been more difficult if he had been more discreet. He quickly got promoted from cooking department to army and in the precap he is already working on dividing the army's loyalties.

Yes you are right...It did't strike me at all! 😆

Chanakya, on his part, is working to bring together support for Chandra and shows he is maybe even better a master of disguise than his shishya. I liked the scene where they both tricked the Greek spies behind Chandra and got them out of their way.

I am quite impressed with this actor playing Chanakya👍🏼

2. Saheli bani Sauten (I am surprised there is no movie by this title, there should be) :

Don't worry...Ekta wud do the honours for she is a bollywood producer now!😆

Helena is a quirky character (as Chitti described) obsessed about love (shown with the crazy encounter with both the rabbit and tiger)

Overall, I felt people were foreshadowing the right things, but they weren't going to happen the way they expected. Exactly😆

3. Yeh Rishta Kya Hai (because still unclear where this is going): Another interesting angle was Chandra and Helena. Helena has begun to trust Chandra, for first saving her life, then being the voice of consolation when she was rejected by Malayketu. While Chandra got to tell his signature line of how love makes you weak, this seems to be more his plan to win her trust than a distraction from original mission.

What will be interesting is Helena's reaction to who Chandra really is- will she view his "Dushyant" days as a betrayal to her and take revenge on Chandra or will she be obsessed about Chandra (like the rabbit), which will make her more an adversary to Nandini and Durdhura? Or maybe, she will make all their lives miserable and all of us too?

Obviously option 2 😆 Rabbit scene is just a trailor, main picture after will be released after marrying Chandu😉

4. Hum Tum (why Hum Tum, well cause they keep meeting and whenever they do, something keeps going wrong just like the movie) : Chandra and Nandini's saga continues ... while they both hate each other, Nandini is thinking back about him with a sword fight with his dummy and their paths keep crossing to Chandra's annoyance. I found it funny how Chandra got to already put the paayal on Nandini's foot (this Jodi is very advanced- sword fight, khoon bhari maang, and even paayal already done).

Divi, times have changed...quick results & quick money are today's norm. Chandu does't have time like Jallu to wait for 4 months to put payal...TRP Aunties will change the channel😆

Of course on the other hand, destiny always makes Chandra save Nandini as he himself reflects.

While Nand wants to marry Nandini off to Malayketu to make sure her future is secure and it is Malayketu assuring Nand he will always protect Nandini, it is Chandra who is saving Nandini from the bandits as Malayketu arrives late.

See here...looks like another mission save nandni 😆

5. Love square: The most interesting is likely how these characters will move forward together- Malayketu, Helena, Nandini, and Chandra.

And so these characters are intertwined in more than one way ...

One thing that I like abt CN is its surprise elements... Helena-Malay, Chanakya disguise, Chandu mini skirt & the list goes on😆

You know Chitti and I discussed a potential twist- could it be that Malayketu is behind Nand's death or some other atrocity that Nandini was blaming Chandra for all of it? Wouldn't that be an Ekta-wala twist?

Nothing is impossible in Ekta's world!😆

Regardless, this is going to be quite the roller coaster to untangle ...

Hope you like ... err enjoyed the take.

There is no enjoy button to hit...so, I go for

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Yes of course, but if they really show something like that, I will have no other option than to assume that the CVs came across the novel at the last moment😆</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Remember how sensible Yashodhara was? Firstly, her feet were on ground so she learnt what she learnt... and was prepared to repay in due! Do you see an iota of that regalia or sensibility in Nandni?</font>
