Sorry to sound negative, but another lame episode. If in yesterday's serial they imported Pootna & Shambara's story into this, today they started smuggling stories not from ancient, but mediaeval Indian history. In this case, Mirabai's story was now projected on Parvati 🤢
While I don't appreciate the CVs making Mena to be a female Daksha, one thing I do agree w/ her - it's too early and too young for Parvati to be thinking and talking about marriage. Similarly, the kids in the playground - particularly the boys - talking about marrying their dolls to the dolls of girls - really, even in Satya Yuga, who ever did that? Somehow, I didn't appreciate the boys here being shown as pretty much effeminate - real boys would have taken their dolls and made them fighting action figures, even if they were Brahmanas.
Also, when Tarakasura's soldiers surrounded them, and knew who Parvati was, why did they have to chase them? Just hurling the javelin @ her would have taken her out. Incidentally, when Parvati emerged from the pond, I liked the shoes she was wearing. Although in the promo, she's shown running around barefoot. And what's w/ the white sari - only widows wore that, not maidens. Same question about Meena, although today she wore something colorful as well.
Poor Dadhichi! He must be waiting for the day Indra will come to him and ask him to give up his life so that the vajra can be made out of his bones.
Re: the precap of Shiva saving Markandeya from Yamaraj, this is precisely the sort of stories they should have shown @ the start of the serial, instead of being overly focussed on Daksha and his elaborate establishment of sons-in-law. Instead, they're showing these only in flashback mode.
Bingo, now the cv's are recyling garbage it seems.
as for meena's feeling, well i also said the same, any mother will be scared. Although not so long ago, around 80 years back gouridan used to be quite popular in Bengal, means marrying a girl less than 8 yr old, those girls would be taught about marriage and stuff right from infancy.
why are even boys are girls playing together. ashramas are usually quite strict and boys and girls would have separate playing ground and dorms in general. this is like co education situation.
I don't want to comment on boys playing dolls. Coz i intend to show this epi to my nephew and teach him that how to respect girls and their dolls.
@ bold red: since when are asuras in the soaps smart ass and when has the mytho/ historical shows shown it easier? Forget soaps, when bw movies show all sorts of absurd stuff that villains do, this is verx small stuff. I just hope parvati is shown to protect herself. I am so tired of seeing all these ladies and goddesses potrayed as helpless women who has to wait till prince charming come and defend them.
Btw: I never knoew dadhichi was such a big bhakt of shivji, he always came of as a one off, extremely powerful rishi. WHen exactly did the Brityasura event happen , approximately in what timeline?
In the beginning the show was more or less focussed as a love story, all those moments, alpha male saving heroine type imaginary sequences were indicating. NOw since they cannot show thoese things , they are using some story. Also the romantic stuff helped create the viewership and trps and now the makers can confidently experiment and show other stuff as well.
btw: i finally watched a couple fo december january epis and OMG, chandrama stole santa's reindeers and sledge !!!!!
