Chandra Nandini 29-30: Samhaar! - Page 10

My dear Amina,

Why do you have to say sorry for a decision to leave or to stay? As and when I decide to leave, I shall surely not feel sorry about it!

As for the episode, my take on it is quite different from the standard issue one here. As for Chanakya's aadesh and Nandini's demented, crude outburst, they hardly need any discussion, for the one is pure politics, no matter how out of place it looks to us from this age of ours, and the other is only an extension of and even worse than her behaviour with Mura.

But what I focussed on was Rajat's performance in the scenes with Durdhara. Right from the time he approaches her, to the morning after, he was quite simply outstanding.

It was a very difficult set of scenes to tackle: the awkwardness, the reluctance amounting to distaste for having any such intimacy with his best friend - whether he is right or wrong here is not the point, the point is that he does so feel - the thinking back to Nandini's mad, hateful tirade, the shamefaced reaction the next morning.

But every single bit of it was near perfect. I cannot think of many actors, even those in films,who could have pulled that off. If you could have thought of all this, as I did, your reaction to the episode might have been very different.

This post is a random ranting for past two episodes.

I'll start with my like for pita-putri scene, where Nandini was tending to her father...she was sweet there.

Yes, finally some(itsy-bitsy) where, I liked Nandini and Shweta...see I'm not biased😛😆😆

Now...back to 😡

All three, Nand, Nandini and Malayketu are cut from same cloth...all three were in action doing "peeth pe vaar". Aunty, there's no need to hide Malay's cowardice act from Nandini, because she also did the same thing to Chandra...she didn't hit his back with some twig but by a khanjar. They're suited for each other. Alas!! this match is not to be be.😕

What was that "Jai Durge" chant???? Was Nandini going to do samhaar of some evil...just because she's a lady with wielding weapon, doesn't earn her that BG score

I'll not grace Nandini's words of wisdom with any comments,👎🏼 taking a leaf from Chandra's reaction.

Chandra-Dhara consummation sequence, I'm afraid it left a sour taste for me, discomfort, unease, guilt in Chandra, was expected, but to an extent, for me it was overdone, especially morning after scene.

Actors did a good job,but the exaggeration defeated the original purpose, and it felt like CVs are reminding, us, viewers that Durdhara is strictly friend-zoned...yes, CVs we know, there's no ajar-amar prem here.😕

On top of that so not "cherry on the cake", CVs showed that, it was Nandini's hateful and hurtful words, which acted as a catalyst in there, to show her deep impact, either positive or negative on Chandra's psyche😡😡😡

We know CVs, even if the character of Nandini is weakly written, however lousy her characterization, she's the one true soulmate of Chandra...we get it🥱

Regarding the execution of Nand's sons, "execution" being the key word here. They were captured while fleeing from battlefield and were executed. Chandra didn't act as a puppet of Chanakya here, as even he'd taken pran of killing them. Also it was done to avoid any future threats from Nand clan...idea of samul vinaash of enemy being the driving force here...I think its one of Chanakya nitis...I may be wrong. Also, just because one of the sons, had "tuntun bhabhi" as wife, didn't mean they were all gullible innocents...though not shown actively, but they were present in court and must have been on one or the other administrative posts, and therefore, not only supporting Nand's vision of rule, but must had some of their own too.

Regarding Nandini-Chandra little show...first of all, who comes to fight decked in gold and fine silk, certainly not a warrior...BTW, she was wearing armour when she eavesdropped on Malay telling Nand's location to Chandra-Helena, where did it go? Was the weather too hot for her to wear it any more? She practices sword fight in simple, practical dress, but comes to real war wearing jewelry and silk clothes...ridiculous

No, Chandra didn't disrespect her, when he removed that dupatta, intent matters, and certainly Chandra's intention was not to disrobe her. Time is of an essence in battle, Chandra took the opening that first came to him. In a battle any weak point is taken advantage of, and certainly Nandini's impractical for a battle clothes gave that opening, her enemy took that and distracted her long enough to snatch the sword from her hand. If she really would've been a soldier, it wouldn't have mattered to her, atleast not as much as to be defeated, when her beloved Pita-maharaja's life was on stake...I can not not remember that when Malay used the same hathkanda, she continued to fight defeated him.

And I'm fed up of Nand's killing being interrupted, sometimes episode ends, then he runs away, then Nandini comes, then Chanakya...then again episode ends...grrr...just be over with him already😡

Why I'm getting this nasty feeling that when Helena becomes vamp, which by the way is inevitable, she'll join hands with Malay...because when he announced his love for her in last episode, of course lying, Helena's face had a momentarily soft look...😲

Phew!!!! long ranting...😛

MDSA, 🤗

How have you been, Aunty?...brilliant write up of not so brilliant epis...RT continues to excel, & Sweta continues to be pathetic...🤢...sorry, but I can't refrain myself from saying that's she has been a terrible faux pas by Balaji...

I almost dread her coming on screen with that same eyes popped out of their sockets look, trying to gulp a huge pebble, n then gritting her teeth......horrendous!!!...I think it might not be a bad idea at all to change the female lead at this stage if the show...I sincerely hope EK does that, else, I'm definitely NOT invested in this love story called Chandra Nandini!...though I continue to remain invested in RT's CGM n MDSA's posts 😉😆

There!!...I've vented n now I'm back to my cheery self 😆...loved your description of the war, Aunty...you're a wizard with words...you truly are!...totally loved your post!😃...n as usual...agree with almost everything...

I particularly loved your description of Helena n Durdhara...esp Durdhara- childlike but not childish ( coz there's already one childish character in the show 😉)

Helena and nandani both were sakhi but both failed to see each others pain nandani did not see helenas pain nor her wound and helena did not see nandnis pain so what is basis of being friends unbelievable

Amina,

The first part is right, that Nandini did not see Helena's pain. But since then, Helena does not see Nandini as a friend, but only as someone she hates almost as much as she hates Malayketu. Where then is there any question, from her side, of mitrata? Just listen to her when she says MITR? to Nandini; her eyes spit fire.

Dear Aunty,

I loved the 1st day of the final war episode a lot. I thought it was a total paisa vasool episode. And I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your detailed take on that episode. It is difficult to capture visuals in words. But you do that flawlessly. I was transported to the battlefield as I read your post!

I loved the intensity of the warrior that Rajat brought out in these episodes. And I think the entire team - Arpit, Chetan, Rajat and Tanu Khan did a wonderful job. How I wish Nandini had heeded to the promise that she had given to her father of not entering the battlefield! The aerial shots showing formations and the limited use of VFX helped capture the ruthlessness and energy of the battlefield. But the best part of the war was the unconstrained ferocity of the warriors which the actors depicted extremely well. I read in one of the posts that Rajat was seriously injured performing these stunts, and that he usually performs these stunts on his own. I hope he recovers well and recovers soon. Else we will be saddled with maximum screen time for Shweta. She really needs to buck up. She hardly holds her expressions and most of the time her expressions are flat. Is she even taking her role seriously? Every actor is doing better than her. If this is going to be a love story, I am quite sure it has already failed if Shweta keeps acting this way.
