He was not training for battle there. Did they show him doing any such thing before the two earlier battles? No.

He was exorcising, thru that terrific physical stress, all the guilt an d grief he was feeling for not having been there for his mother when she was so tormented. That is why they kept cutting to scenes of Mura talking about her son. It was a form of catharsis.

As for the war sequence, this is not the Mahabharata, that they should show it for 18 days. But the very first battle sequence was really good, better than this one, and it had no VFX at all.

Plus, I do not at all want bloody battles on prime time TV. Those who want Game of Thrones style stuff can always go and see the real thing, in all its gory violence and crudity of all kinds

Yes it's not game of thrones but war scenes are done well on indian television too like in mahabharat and maharana pratap. The promos of chandra nandini are spectacular so expecting a better sequence is not too much to ask for cause they have done a great job in the promos.

Lol I swear it was funny how the brothers were stopping nandini instead of saving their dad and nandini is chilling with her daasis in the center of the war zone. I wish chandra killed her 1st.

you must understand MB and MP,also PRC etc were not ekta shows. Specially Sagars have a vast experience with historicals so the battle sequences were excellent.

I myself hate what was going on in JA and CN. But I have to say that they have shown vast improvement from what they were showing in the starting episodes. If you rememember,a lot

of vfx was being used. Its reduced massively now. With an exception of the last scene yesterday.

My dear Disha,

In Maharana Pratap, at one point, they showed the 14 year old Kunwar Pratap defeating a gigantic Bairam Khan (who, in history, never came face to face with him) in hand to hand combat! It was so ludicrous that I did not know whether to laugh or to weep in frustration.

But I must say that they showed the battle for Chittor, with the Afghans, very well, but that was quite a different battle, within the fort, in a constrained space, not in the open as here,

In the Mahabharatha, they used VFX liberally for the astras, and battles like that of Bhishma and Parasurama were pure VFX. There was next to no swordfighting anywhere, including in the last battle, and that is Rajat's speciality. But that was a mythological, so that was OK.

In the Ramayana made 4 years ago by the next generation of the Sagars, the same kind of battles, with two astras meeting each other like guided missiles and exploding, was used in such a dull manner that it was enough to drive anyone away, I think the expertise you are referring to disappeared with Ramanand Sagar's generation. He could perhaps use large numbers of actual fighting men for the battle scenes in PRC - which I have not seen - because costs must have been lower a decade ago. Nowadays, with economy a prime concern, VFX has become both a short cut and an exercise in escapism.

But as for Jodha Akbar, it had several excellent swordfighting scenes with Rajat in top form,and one with Adham Khan in particular stands out. He is a ruddy marvel when he is allowed to cut loose. There has been no scope for that sort of thing in this show so far. Chandragupta Maurya was a very great warrior, so may be we might get to see some one on one bouts in the future.

As for the promos. the last but one, with Nandini in black armour, what on earth did that mean? There was no such sequence shown in the end. And Padmanand dies too easily. Just to be stabbed to death as revenge for decades of atrocities? And in the latest promo, what is this woman babbling about Magadha ka vinash? Did she go out and see what Magadha was like under her pitamaharaj?

Better than what we were being shown before 😆 But yes,I would have liked some gut and blood. But this isn't Game of Thrones people😆
I guess Indian audience doesn't like gory stuff that much either.

The way Nandini screamed,I thought Nand's head got decapitated and it went flying in the air,but all he got was a small cut on his bicep 😆

Nevertheless,this was much better than that shitty spear vfx thing they did in Rajat's first episode. That was...meh.

Im a bit confused about what you're referring to over here aunty

I think what most of us want is Rajat in all his swordsmanship glory. 😆 With this I mean actual fights,where both him and his opponent are attacking aggressively and not just giving angry expressions and yelling. Plus the stuntmen in the background need to seem like real soldiers who are fighting and not just playing around. PRC was good at this aspect.

I think the mods will give me a nice beating if I post videos etc of other shows,but I can pm you some links if you like.

I've been spoilt by it you can say 😆

Mahabharata had VFX i agree,but it was tastefully used and since it was Lord Krishna's era,a little magical fiction didn't seem that odd as it was a mythological😛 Maharana Pratap,I dont remember watching this scene with Bairam aunty.

I stopped watching JA after the vishkanya track I believe,so I don't know if things became better post that,but until then,believe me aunty,he wasn't allowed to use his full potential. All I saw were clowns doing dandiya dance while fighting against him and there is only so much he could do to make it seem atleast decently good. He seemed over-qualified for the job given to him,while everyone around him seemed below average...I forgot that prince's name..Jodha's initial fiance? He fought a battle with him and that image is stuck in my head. It was horrible.

What I didn't like is the excessive VFX with Rajnikanth-ish action scenes,with everyone flying around. This has been reduced off late in CN,as opposed to that awful spear scene in Rajat's introductory episode.🤢

I personally liked the promos. But the actual scenes in the episodes can be better. And I feel CHetan and Arpit since they were already trained with the swords,they are comparitively better than others. Rajat ofcourse excels in each of these scenes,no doubt. Infact when he is having these one on one combats with Chetan and Arpit,they almost seem real. Infact Tanu Khan,the lady playing Helena seemed quite good yesterday. Because I've rarely seen a woman with a firm hand attacking in a hindi tv show, without wobbling. Great effort.

What I didn't like in JA,is how bad the others were and with CN,it is the excessive VFX.

However,VFX is also being used to multiply the number of soldiers in the army,this portion of VFX is relatively good. But yes,they need to make it brighter,the scenes are too dark.

What Im trying to say,is whatever little they show,they must seem authentic. Combats must not be restricted to screaming and flying.

Other than that I must say,they have improved a lot,definitely not the best,but they have learnt a thing or two 😆
