Sri, I agree with you on the point that here there is a love story in the wings, albeit a bit twisted one, but it is there, unlike JA where I wasn't able to see much of one. The actors are doing very well, Sweta especially in the ones she just speaks with her eyes. All that is brilliant stuff. Moora Mata upgraded herself just like you said. But I expect more intelligence from C&C. And that is precisely lacking. The villains and vamps weave circles and circles around them and they fall for it????? Which King sends out his Queen in the night like that? But then the saving grace was Chandra having second and third thoughts about the hare-brained scheme! Now I definitely want some Jungle Main Mangal scenes between Chandra and Nandini for one full week to compensate for this lack luster week. Can the two just get lost in the jungle?



Shailu - I am always up for these . 😉 But remember the Belan. 😆

The issue is they cannot get complete close at this stage - Nand death MU and may be one more will be played out before trust can be developed. Because once consummation is done, EKTA does not know how to take the serial forward. Bindusara growing up does not have any great history material to rely on. So she will have to milk the chemistry of RT-SBP to get mullah out.

I am ok as long as some chandni moments are given regularly - For historical authenticity, we can always read books. A King who rules from Afgan to Bengal decides to voluntarily give the throne to his son at 42 and embraces Jain religion , Fasts himself to death. To me this is the biggest ingruing and fascinating thing about real CGM.

In the serial, I am only interested in RT and Chandni moments. 😆

VIDYA, I AGREE TO MOST OF THE POINTS THAT YOUVE MENTIONED

SHWETA HAS CERTAINLY IMPROVED. ALL THROUGH THE GURUKUL TRACK SHE WAS GOOD. BUT SEEING HER WITH CONTINUOUS TEARS IS GETTING QUITE STRESSFUL. WONDER WHY EKTA LEADING LADIES NEED TO CRY BUCKETSFULL 😆

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT THIS J TRACK AND HELENA MISLEADING SEEMS SO SO SO REPETITIVE THAT IT IS QUITE UNBEARABLE. AND THE MALAY BDAY GIFT WAS JUST TOO MUCH. EITHER NANDINI AND DURDHARA COULD HAVE CLARIFIED TO MOORA, CHHAYA OR TO CHANDRA THAT NANDINI MADE THE MUKUT ON THEIR BEHALF.

DURDHARA SCENES, TOO, ARE GETTING PAINFUL. BEING CHILD LIKE HAS ITS LIMITS, AFTER ALL

YES, I TOO MENTIONED IN MY LAST POST THAT ITS WONDERFUL TO SEE NANDINI IN LOVE WITH CHANDRA. ITS A WELCOME CHANGE AND VERY REFRESHING TOO. IN JA JALAL WAS CONSTANTLY GETTING SHOOED AWAY FOR ANY (CLOSE TO) ROMANTIC OVERTURES THAT HE MADE 😆

IN ALL THIS J TRACK DRAGGING, RAJAT'S PERFORMANCE SEEMS TO BE GETRING HIT. HE HAS A CONSTANT EXPRESSION THESE DAYS IN ALMOST ALL HIS SCENES. EVEN NANDINI, FOR THE MOST PART, IS ALMOST ALWAYS SHEDDING TEARS

CHANAKYA PERFORMS WELL BUT, AND I REPEAT, TILL NOW I HAVE NOT SEEN EXCEPTIONAL BRAIN POWER IN EVIDENCE. AND THAT CANING SCENE WAS QUITE EXTREME, MORE BECAUSE CHANDRA ACCEPTED IT AND BECAME A ZOMBIED PUPPET SOON AFTER

MOORA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHOWN MAHAAN WHAT WITH HER IMMEDIATE FORGIVENESS OF NAND PARIVAR AND ACCEPTANCE OF NANDINI AND THE OTHER NAND WOMEN

HELENA STOPPED APPEALING TO ME WHEN SHE HURLED STUFF FOR THE FIRST TIME 😆 I WAS BADLY REMINDED OF RUKS IN THE LATTER PART OF JA. BUT SERIOUSLY, HER CONSTANT BADGERING OF CHANDRA AND COMING OUT TOPS IN EACH SCENE IS QUITE IRKSOME

MALAY IS DOING JUST WHATEVER HE WAS DOING IN JA, SO THERES NOT MUCH CHANGE FOR HIM. AND THE OTHERS ARE JUST NOWHERE CLOSE TO A DECENT PERFORMANCE SO NO POINT TALKING OF THEM

I FULLY AGREE THAT SOME SCENES APART FROM KITCHEN AND PALACE POLITICS NEED TO BE INTRODUCED, BUT THATS TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR IN AN EKTA SHOW I GUESS

AND YES, THE ACTUAL LOVE STORY WILL START MUCH MUCH LATER, AND HENCE, WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THESE KIND OF ILLOGICAL HALF BAKED SCENES TILL THEN

QUOTE=jayaks02]Lavanya and all others - My viewpoints on the show is now somewhat different.

Agreed - This jealousy track is very boring and many crass dialogues were shown. I think the serial needs TRP increase and it has also recorded some improvement thanks to this J track and vamp-heroine.

I am recording some points here.

SBP has shown tremendous improvement - But even now, when she has to cry more or openly, she falls flat - Understatedness is her strength and she shines in that brightly. See the scene she is walking out of palace with her blue potli . She begins to look ordinary unless the scenes where she speaks to Chandra in watery eyes.

Chandra and Nandini keep piercing each other's heart with abusive words - Most times it does not have logic. If Chandra says "I do not leave Helena but you" and she says "I do not like Malay but you " , it will be pretty much over for us and Balaji. 😆 So some forced events are happening. But the actors are pulling off well. Especially the Lead pair.

Remember in JA our rants on Lohri, Lep and Lap. Thankfully here the love story is evenly poised and placed. Nandini longs for Chandra and she also feels J. 😉 A great relief.

I loved the scene between Mura and Nandini - When she explained why she came off from party so soon, she was so sincere, naive and a honest sweet girl who could not stand that husband is ignoring her. Sweta shone in that scene. ( By the way, I am upgrading JOKEMATA to MATA as Mura has some good qualities, I discovered last week). 😆

Helena character is highly compromised but the actor is truly fantastic in her scenes. She is very nuanced in her performances.

I would have preferred a MU where someone mis-informs Chandra that Nandini is sending messages to her father through spies and planning something etc. This would have been a bit interesting than Kitchen politics stuff.

My only worry is no politics and no more territory acquisition etc.

Otherwise, compared to the perennial DEVI MA Pooja elsewhere we witnessed, here we are in for a promising love story ; Let's enjoy the good scenes.

SHAILAJA, YOUR JUNGLE MEIN MANGAL THOUGHT IS ONE THAT I COULD HANG ON TO 😆


WHEN THESE TWO ARE ALONE, THE VISUAL APPEAL OF THE SHOWS GOES UP QUITE A BIT


CASE IN POINT IS THE GURUKUL SCENE, WHERE EVEN THOUGH CHANDRA WAS IMMENSELY JEALOUS OF THE MALE ATTENTION NANDINI WAS GETTING, HE STILL DID NOT GET TOO CONSUMED WITH IT, AND EVEN NANDINI MAINTAINED COMPOSURE AND BALANCE. AND HOWEVER SCATTER BRAINED IT MAY SEEM, THE TRACK STILL HAD SOME THREAD OF LOGIC

BOTH THE LEADS HAD A CHANCE TO BRING OUT DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS IN DIFFERENT SCENES AND THE EFFECT WAS A GOOD VISUAL EXPERIENCE FOR US VIEWERS

VIDYA - YES CGM WAS AN ENIGMATIC AND BRILLIANT EMPEROR, BUT THERE IS NO POINT IN EXPECTING ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO HIS REAL LIFE HISTORY FROM EKTA

AS LONG AS I GET TO SEE RAJAT SHINING AND GREAT CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE LEADS, MY TIME WOULD BE WELL SPENT

HAPPY MAKAR SANKRANTI AKA PONGAL!!

Folks,

I have resurfaced - always presuming that you had all noticed that I was not around!😉 - to wish you all a very happy Makar Sankranti today, or as we say down South, an auspicious Pongal! May today herald a year ahead that brings you, and all your loved ones, nothing but good.

I spared you any of my periodic effusions for the past 2 weeks as I was not in a position to do one of them. Even had I been able to cope, the material was most dispiriting, bar a few flashes, and a truly lovely opening between our lead pair was squandered to no purpose. Anyhow, after having survived this last week - in which Rajat's Chandra was slumming for the most part, and Shweta's Nandini moved emphatically in the opposite direction - I am keeping my fingers crossed for something better ahead.

Here is my (hopeful!) prediction for the next week.

Chandra, riddled by guilt, will now go looking for Nandini. The precap itself should have put paid to the hopeful theory that he drives her out deliberately hoping that she will lead him to Nand. It is no such thing.

To revert, Nandini, even though she is not weighed down by anything as substantial as Jodha Begum's bronze Kanha😉, would have collapsed artistically under the load of her grief, somewhere outside the palace, still hugging that potli. I would like to know what is inside it.😉

Aunty good to see you back. Hows your health?

Nandini is carrying her old memories as she told chaya

I think Malay will follow and do something to her(as came in news) and then Chandra may not find her

But already the duplicate will come back and take Nnadini place in palace

Nandini may have tough time to prove that she is Nnadini when she comes back

Chandra will miraculously spot her despite having no idea in which direction she has wandered off.😉He will then lug her back to the palace in his patented style, in his arms. He must be a tad out of practice, not having had to do that for days now, not since the exam days at the gurukul in Takshashila, so it will do him some good to get back into carrying form!😆

Next, he will start hanging around her rooms monitoring her recovery while Helena damages her tooth enamel.😉

OK, folks this is it for now, bar two points.

1) Of course there is a Roopa. She is the one with Sunanda in the secret room. Don't even ask how Sunanda togs her out as a duplicate of Nandini, down to the clothes and the jewellery, on a daily basis! Aise prashna uthana varjit hai!😉

2) Those trying to look into the crystal ball and spot an ultra clever tedi chaal on the part of our C&C are, I fear, doomed to disappointment. Both are, I feel, just as gullible as they appear to be. But if it turns out that I am wrong here, nothing would please me more!

As for Chandra's main aim at present, to make Nandini jealous of Helena, what earthly sense does that make when he also clings to the belief that Nandini loves Malayaketu? If that is so, why would she care whom Chandra hangs around with? It is plain nuts, and it makes Chandra look extra foolish, while poor Rajat seems to be risking a case of lockjaw with all that snarling.

And no, I do not feel Chandra has any notion of Helena's convoluted plotting against Nandini. For one thing, she does it rather well, thru clever insinuations that leave an opening for subsequent denials, as in the case of the room allocation, and she is helped by Durdhara's failure to mention the one key point to Chandra, ie that the whole mukut idea was hers.

As for royals making such gifts for their close relatives, instead of commissioning them, that would have depended on the item, and I would think that for things that could have been made inhouse, so to speak, doing it themselves would have been normal, even if the actual sewing and shaping was done by the daasis!

Like i said before chandra and nandini loving each other and their family approving it is tough

atleast here mura and avantika is fine in real history i doubt they would

And then there is guilt i cannot understand how a son can love a lady whose dad cut off his dad head and made his mom a prisoner and lusted after her

and i can never imagine a daughter loving a man who killed her 8 brothers and father (in future)

Chandra Gupta ruled till south india not till bengal

Chandra did not retire at 42 , he retired at 56 years of age and died at 57 years

Chandra married Helena at age 40

At 42 years bindusara was just a 16 year old kid and ashoka was not even born(CGM was there when he was born)

I doubt all this will be shown in serial
I think the forest princess will fall for chandra and be after nandini life and chandra will save her and love story starts

In every relationship trust faith is needed but cn story is diffirent both are enemies so trusting each other and believe in each other is no no as jayaji said nand angle would have made sesnse than this j track which has no head nor foot



@bold . agree that scene was painful
