Aunty
I am afraid you did nt get my point... I am here trying to say that right from beginning cvs always are forcing chandra nandini scenes... It looks somewhat artificial. ... it does not get mix up well with story...like cgm kidnapping nandini ,etc ...lots of scenes fall into those category...i sometimes feel that they are so desperate to make show popular among masses by indulging in those tactics...

This is my honest view.. nowdays roopa does that job awfully... have you forgotten that horrible snan chandra did with nandini during wedding ... was it worth aunty,...thats what makes me think...
I dont want to make you feel bad aunty...

Hope my explanation is correct..
As I myself being a sanskrit student,I would expect Chanakya and Chnadra to be like how it was described in MUDRARAKSHASAS..
aTLEAST Some jain works can be consulted when trying to recreate an historical play..
This Roopa killing Nand (I assume he survives) is a biggest insult to one of the finest emperor of India...

Well, my dear Pratiksha, my fingers are reasonably functional now thanks to painkillers n- which I avoid as much as I can- but as I do not know how soon the effect will wear off, let me hurry up with this response.

My comments are in blue.

QUOTE=loveislife1991]Shaymala Aunty
Your thoughts please on what I thought , as and when convenient to you, without giving any trouble to your fingers.😊

I liked today's episode quite a bit. Editing needed bit of work coz just before Nand stabs Nandini, a female hand is seen on his shoulder , most probably being Rupa's, which should not be there, as Rupa stabs and hurts Nand's shoulder after all his men have left, but during stabbing Nandini all are there. Somehow, I feel production values of Chandra Nandini lacks the sense of ironing out small issues.
I must go back and look at that again. If it was as you have described it, I would not be surprised. They are quite sloppy in matters of detail which could have been ironed out so easily. Just like the Urdu words scattered broadcast throughout a 4th century BC serial.😡

But I must say, my dear, that you are sharp!

In any case, the episode was impactful and provided the chills and thrills. The hits were at the right moment. The guy playing Nand acts well and looks positively villainous. Today he brought out that horror of having committed the biggest blunder of his life in his eyes quite effectively.

Arpit Ranka, who was Duryodhana in the Mahabharata of 3 years ago, was equally effective as doting father in the earlier episodes.

Certain observations-

Now while my prediction of Nandini misunderstanding Chandra did come out to be true only for half an episode😆 , good thing is now she knows all about her father s ill-doings and been a literal victim of him, the only course of action left is doing away with all misgivings at all in her life about pratishodh from Chandra. So once she gets well, all is sorted for these two.😃

Yes, my dear, but Shailaja is threatening us all, herself included, with an awful fate: amnesia for Nandini because of the fall down the hill last night!😆It was also very slipshod of Chandra to leave that scroll with Nand's location lying around openly in his room!

But one thing is hinted at in what Chandra says to himself - more as a hope than as an assertion - when he is riding to Nand's cave. That from now on there would be nothing hidden between them and no reservations or misunderstanding- though I must check out the exact words. Which is a broad indication that it is exactly the opposite that will happen!😉

How Nand got to know about Rupa - I think Helena and Apama play a role here, this is what they were planning in the last episode about getting Rupa killed.

This is definitely one possibility, but then the question that arises is : how did they get to know of Nand's location? Unless Helena had also sauntered into Chandra's room and found the same scroll, but that seems to be too much of a stretch even for these CVs!😉

My guess would be that Amatya Rakshas' spies in the Pataliputra palace would have conveyed the accurate news of Nandini's trial and her walling in to him. Chanakya's unexpected readiness to hand over Nandini within a week would have come just after this.. No wonder Rakshas, and then Nand, concluded that with Nandini dead, Chanakya's offer was based on their having laid hold of her lookalike twin ,and that they were planning to palm her off on Nand as Nandini.

That her name is Roopa would have got to Rakshas thru the latest reports from the palace, about the impostor. Of course, the reports would have stated that Roopa had been walled in, but Nand & Co would not have believed that, for why would Roopa have allowed that to happen without protesting vigorously and revealing the truth? Whereas with Nandini, this passive acceptance was understandable, as she had no idea of the existence of her double.

This is a simpler and more plausible explanation than the Helena-Aapama, which is not to say that it will turn out to be the correct one. Let us see what the CVs offer us in due course!

What happens to Rupa - We will know in the next episode. But either she fled, or killed by Nand/Chandra.

I would bet that everyone whom Chandra would have wanted killed would have fled: Roopa, Nand, Vakranaas and Rakshas as well! I suppose Chandra will eventually kill Nand, but God knows when! Now that Nandini knows the truth about her father, his demise at Chandra's hands should not jar her so much.

All in all, a turning point in C&N s love life comparable to Zeher episode of JA as mentioned earlier by you Aunty.'

Probably a turning point, but not quite in the Jodha Akbar sense. There would be no guilt here on Chandra's part, nor any overwhelming gratitude to Nandini for having saved his life. He should be able to explain why he did not tell her that Roopa was her sister. Unless of course she loses her memory!😉 Or chooses the coma option, to keep Chhaya company!

Nandini - Get well soon 😊 otherwise Chandra will be😭😭
Yes, yes, I am sure they are getting all the largest water containers in the palace ready for collecting his ashru!😆

Look,my dear Avantika, I am afraid this is not the idea that came thru from your post. That had only one possible connotation, which was clear even to someone like me, and it put me off. Anyone who knows me would have realised that would happen, and in fact, so did you!

Also, I do not quite understand what you mean by forcing Chandra Nandini scenes. This is a Chandra-Nandini love story, and naturally there will be lots of scenes between them. It was the same in Jodha Akbar once they had got married, only in the opposite sense, he was running after her and she was standoffish. Here, most of their scenes are exceptionally good, at Pataalgram and even now. In fact I wrote this post only to highlight them.

Moreover, if they add a lot of scenes between them in the hope of raising the TRPs, what is wrong with that? It is any day better than saas-bahu fights between Mura and Helena or Mura and Nandini. Not that it has been working to any notable extent. And to my mind there is too much, not of Chandra-Nandini, but of Durdhara and her kaleja!

The snan sequence was unnecessary and totally stupid, but it had no element of physical attraction or desire at all, however crass that idea might have been as a form of punishment for Nandini for her assassination attempt. Your post was was unmistakably about a physical relationship scene between the lead pair being played for TRPs. But here, the cardinal point here is the one Anne has made so well: that there is next to no sensual element in these Chandra-Nandini scenes at all. Which is really the opposite of what you are now suggesting. Roopa might be all over him, but she is the vamp, and that is how a vamp is expected to behave.

To revert, I might be very old fashioned and exasperating to someone of your generation, for whom expressions like the ones in the post might be commonplace, but that is the way I am, and I am afraid I have no intention of adapting to the new mores.

As I had noted in an earlier post, this is a free forum, and I cannot compel anyone to abide by my norms of what is appropriate. I can only make a request. I would thus appreciate it a lot it you could bear with me, and keep this in mind for the future!

Let us forget this little contretemps, my dear Avantika, and move on, shall we? I am glad you liked my comments on Pratiksha's post. Let us see what really happens.

One more point that I had wanted to add in my post above (which I have edited somewhat), but which got left out. As for Mudrarakshasa, I am afraid there is no point expecting anything like that in a TV serial, especially one of Ekta's , though most of the rest are just as bad.

I am told that the 2012 Chandragupta Maurya was very good, but then that was cashiered after little more than a 100 episodes when the channel suddenly folded up. The 1990 Chanakya was superb, but it was very dry and demanding, and it would not have lasted 2 months today. See the very good Peshwa Bajirao - TRPs are below 1!

It is interesting to know that you are a student of Sanskrit. I did study it to some extent with my mother, and mastered it sufficiently to be able to read the Panchatantra, but I am afraid I did not keep it up. I regret that a lot, for it is perhaps the most elegant language there is, with almost infinite flexibility in expressing nuances of meaning.

Avantika,

Do see my response a page or two back to Amina.Nand seems to be almost as good as new, and I am sure he will have to be disposed off finally by Chandragupta.

But historically, the Magadha Samrat that Chandragupta overthrew was not Padmanand but his eldest son Dhananand, and he was not killed at al, l but allowed to retire to the forest with his wives.Chandragupta married his daughter. That was also the way it was shown in the 1990 Chanakya. If you have the time for 47 one hour episodes, you might like to try and watch it.

Happy Woman's Day, Shyamala Aunty, Saraswati Aunty & all the charming ladies here 😃
3 cheers to the FEMALE brain (Sri, I hope you're reading this 😉 )

On the occasion of Woman's Day, I'd like to share an inspiring quote by Oprah Winfrey...

"On my own I will just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn't, I'll create something else. I don't have any limitations on what I think I could do or be." " Oprah Winfrey

While on CN, I think apna Satyavan will bring back his Savitri from Yamaraj here...😆
He's done it once before too...😉...

He will cry n cry so much ...So much ...that before Yamaraj could react, Chitragupt will order Nandini to be ousted from Yamlok back to prithvilok lest Yamlok be drowned in floods😃
