I do not know what a thin plot or storyline looks like, but I am content that this show does not have a a "thick plot storyline". And as for most of our serials, the plot line is usually a mess, so that is nothing new.

Finally, don't worry about our writing essays. We enjoy it, but there is no compulsion for casual visitors like you to join in!😉

Fascinating Post Akka.

I am also catching up with discussions - will come back for more.

Somehow that Nandini Character and the girl's acting is finding more and more low depths. She is digging deep and in a free fall mode . The dialogues written were very lowly standard and the way it was uttered was beyond pathetic. in JA, initial days of marriage etc, even Jodha used to speak softly.

And the girl Swetha is no where close to even 20th Century forget about BC. She screams like a 2016 woman. Most of the others in the show are doing far far better than Sweta, infact have established the characters reasonably well.

Swetha will undergo innumerable sufferings in the next 3 months at the hands of Helena, CGM, CGM Sister and may be even mother. This was my prediction last week and not slowly it will come true.

The hatred will be built to such a level JA will look like a small play.

But the falling in love process and the eventual result will also be that much more drastic. 😆

The bottom-line of the serial will be Nandini is "the only person who caught, catches CGM's imagination, mind and Hriday " 😆 . Even Bindusara is a result of Nandini's curse or insult to him. 😆 This is EKTA's obsession of ONLY one woman emerging super victorious. And everyone else pales in comparison. Helena is now the revenge taker of worst kind. She is going to be a worst form of RUKKAYAH as against a grey RUKS in JA. It is sad she is repeating this yet again.

Recalling Akbar going in circle around Jodha Begum chambers eating Prasad and looking at her pooja etc. leaving the 5000+ inmates of his harem waiting !!!!

The show I heard is not doing well on TRP front. Unless Swetha girl picks up and brings in some subtlety and improvement, it is going to be super taxing on RT to pull off the show into good ratings.

you always comment so fast when i am still typing half way so i am posting my remaining comments whats your idea of what i wrote below two paras. Am i right or am i reading too much in chandra dhurudhara first night

That is why after chankya tells chandra to have first night with dhuradhara, dhuradhara refuses to meet chandras eyes and tries to go off the room. She talks about preparing his warrior dress etc but without looking at him or going too near. Because mentally she is a child like and that first night left her shaken. That chandra also knows thats why he says sorry with folded hands because he removed anger of nandini's namard and purushat nayi hai taunt on innocent Dhurudhara. So hes guilty, and she shocked after the first night. She had expected may be he is her best friend will treat her very nicely on first day but here he was removing nandinis taunt anger on her.

I think chankya also sent him to dhurudhara for same purpose. He understood chandra was angry at nandini taunt on his manly ability and if that anger was not removed chandra may falter in warfield hence he said to spend night with dhurudhara to remove his anger.

Now i have one doubt chandra while leavigng for war was in taxila or punjab may be and told dhurudhara wait for me. On war first night she is in pataliputra with him?

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.

My dear Prem,

This is an absolutely beautiful take on what makes a childhood friendship so special, and how utterly charming the Chandra-Durdhura relationship is, and most of all about Durdhura herself. I agree with you 100%, except that I hate the L word, and would by far prefer desire.

I am very sad that we are going to lose Durdhura soon. Kya karein!

Shyamala Aunty

PS: You keep editing and adding to your posts after you post them, which makes responding to them confusing! I have now read what you have added at the end of the post, and I think you are overdoing things as far as the reactions of both Chandra and Durdhura the next morning is concerned. They, especially she, are just trying to get back to their old best friends footing, that is all.

i think her reaction was perfect and how she handled chandra in the morning a true ardhagani if i say so,shes very understanding and mature yes she has bachpana

I do not think there will be any Justin, who is a fictional character in CAS. Unless of course the CVs want a motive for turning Helena bitter, ie that her son should be denied the throne.

But there is a catch there too. In CAS, Justin was the elder of the two sons. Still, Bindusara was made the heir apparent using the same argument that Chanakya uses here. But here, Durdhara's son, Bindusara, will clearly be the first born, so even if Helena has a son later, which I doubt, he would only be second in line, and she cannot complain that he was not made the heir apparent.

And I am disappointed to see you trotting along with the herd here, young Khushi, parroting the Nandini as the main cause line.

As I wrote to Saraswathi Akka, the whole scenario is not as unidimensional as the folk here make out. Durdhara loves Chandra, though she does not show it. And as for him, I think he himself does not understand what it is that he feels for her. It is surely not only the anger triggered by Nandini's crude outburst. But there is a deep seated aversion in him towards any act of physical intimacy with a woman, which has to do with his bal brahmachari bent of mind, which is still deeply ingrained in him.

This apart, for me, the only important thing was that Rajat's performance during the whole sequence, from the time he approaches Durdhara to the morning after, 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.

Every single bit of it was near perfect. I cannot think of many actors, even those in films,who could have pulled that off.

Durdhara does not show it, because she herselfdoes NOT know it, Aunty...that she loves Chandra, that is😃

@ pink: the aversion to physical intimacy is because of his aversion to the feeling of love, which he thinks renders a person weak & not in control of oneself, but rather in the control of "love"

Given his goals in life, he thinks love will only be a nuisance in his life...

I agree, RT's performance here was truly exceptional...only he could have carried it off...but Nandini calling him "namard" & his mind using that as a catalyst for him to obey his acharya's demand for a progeny from him & Durdhara was too OTT, & hence, almost comical, I thought😆

I think the CVs are clearly trying to establish that Chandra is unable to remain unaffected by Nandini & her words...even during their hate period...hence, I wrote about "credit to Nandini", Aunty😆

(PS: n I thought Justin was for real😃...me n my zero knowledge of history😆)
