I do not understand this fixation with the Hrithik-Kangana controversy, which no one was discussing. In any case, Hrithik was a blithering idiot, but his personal morals are not my concern. As for Kangana, the sort of things she said about poor Shahid Kapoor wrt Rangoon would make anyone take anything she says with a ladleful of salt. But no one skewers her for the nasty things she says about her co-stars, and that seems to include just about everybody. And when Rangoon crashed, she was blaming the director for allegedly editing out her best scenes, as if with them it would have ovetaken Bahubali 2!😉😉

Y'day N was fighting with C in his bedroom and jumping up and down doing some Rajnikant style steps or even Jackie Chan,
I decided not to watch any more historicals.

A ONE OFF TAKE ON THE MONDAY EPISODE NO.146

My dearest friends,

I am doing it now to get her off my back, 😆

Omg... Periyamma...

Apart from the Chandragupta-Chanakya scene, the rest was a total bore. In the swordfight scene, Nandini's CGI jumps and somersaults were so comic - like a performing monkey - that one could focus on nothing else, and Rajat's face was covered.

😆

What I really liked there was not his expressions, or as much of them as one could see, during the bout, but the very ambiguous look on his face as he leaves, saying that he has never seen her being ready to give up her life for anyone. There was a hidden bitterness behind the sneer and the sarcasm that came thru very well.

This paragraph again reminded me why I'm missing your reviews/analysis..

As for the guru-shishya scene, it must have come primarily a huge relief, I expect, and the general reaction would naturally have been conditioned by that fact.

This element apart, it was very well done - for all that the whole scheme seems too roundabout and unduly complicated for me - and Chandra's samarpan was touching. I liked Rajat the best at the very end there too, his face looking much better in that common man's costume than in the ridiculous new haircut, mukut and stubble they have given him now. His eyes literally glowed.

But even so, this is still not Rajat at his best. He can do much, much more, and he has done it again and again in this show as well. The micrometer shifts of expression, what I used to call his MS PPT presentations. There was no scope for any of that in this episode.

The script is so bad now, especially in the Chandra-Nandini scenes, and with this new look, which does nothing for him. It is as if they had set out to make a very handsome young man look unappealing.They do not succeed because his bone structure is so good, like a piece of Greek statuary, but what possessed them to clip his lovely, wavy locks and reduce them to this thatch? 😡

>>>😭

Let us see if the script improves and Rajat gets the chance to get back fully to his old self. I am sure he will, the CVs willing.

All this said, this episode reconfirmed the wisdom of my quitting when I did, for Mura and Dadi set my teeth on edge even more than they used to in the old days. Helena's coiffure, even without the corkscrew curls, looked way too large for the Mukhya Maharani's mukut, which was perched on top like an undersized small hat.😆Apama continues to look like a badly tied sack of potatoes.

>>🤣

The question is not of which samrat had which kind of hair. In most cases, we have only the coins to go by. In general, maharajas had long hair, as can be seen even from Raja Ravi Varma's 19th century paintings. But that is not the point.

The point, for me at least, is that Rajat had beautiful flowing locks, which made him look exactly llike a Greek statue. They framed his face and made the elegant planes of his facial bones stand out. Now, this looks like a modern haircut,and it has ruined the beauty of his hair, and diminished his overall looks.

I agree!😭

Not many men can carry off the long locks look like he can...

firstly, he has the advantage of having the right kind of waves that would suit the shoulder length locks required for this kind of historical... imagine if he had dead straight hair, he would end up looking like Abul Mali from JA... or if he had very very curly hair... he would look like Satyaraj who's forgotten his way to the hair saloon!

Moreover, his locks had a natural double, rather triple shade in them!

In different lighting, they would look either black, dark brown or chestnut!

His locks, sharp features and his complexion were a magnificent trio. One of it's gone!

Even in modern get up, I preferred his long lock Nevla look to the short hair Robindo look!

If he was not so strikingly handsome per se, he would look ordinary because of this haircut. There was a shot of the old Chandra during the flashback to Durdhara's death scene, and the contrast was stark.

You young people can accept and admire this new thatch if you like. I do NOT like it, nor could I see any reason for it. Do they think the TRPs are gong to shoot up because of this? It only shows that the director had no idea what to do, so they thrashed about and came up with this.

On the other hand, I liked Chandra's new costume, like that of a Roman consul, without that 9 yard bedsheet.😉 If only they could have left the hair intact, it would have looked wonderful.

Btw, Periyamma... I don't enquire very often, so you wouldn't have to type a separate reply... but I regularly check-in on your threads... so I am aware of the the soreness in your eye after the visit to the ophthalmologist and also of the flare-up in your wrist.

I hope the issues have settled down a bit 🤗

I like the Vishkanya, Sarika. She looks sleek, sinewy, and gorgeous. A very good choice considering it was the same PH which came up with the great Benazir for JA. But I hardly think I am going to watch the show for her or the Snankaksh scenes which I expect and predict are going to be liberally used all over the place. If Aapma or Helu Baby are going to be exposed or Chandra and Nandini Punarmilan is happening or if the C&C combine are finally going to nab and kill MPN please inform me. I will watch those episodes.
