Misti, your comments are funny. I liked Rubina a lot though I too wish they would tone down her make up as she looks more pretty with less makeup. Still during the exile she would be shown with minimal makeup. So I am looking forward to that part.

I am actually liking this version of Ramayan. I was also thinking of Surya of Sita strolling with dhanush as a shopping bag. So Misti, as you said it is a shopping wallet for sure. Though I do have questions as to how she could get apples. Is Mithila in Himachal Pradesh? I thought it was in present day Madhya Pradesh.

Ok that aside, I was thinking of one thing. That Sita is so attached to that dhanush. So shouldn't she get mad at Ram for breaking Pinak before even Parshuram does? 😉

But jokes aside, I did like Janak and Sita conversation and Janak giving Sita the freedom to decide about her marriage. Also I liked Sita questioning that how only fulfilling Janak's requirement of bow will make the guy eligible for her.

All in all, a good introduction to Sita.

So they can get apples.By the way how much did you get for history/geography in School? 😉 A part of Mithila is also in Bihar (northern Bihar just south of the border with Nepal). Maithali is the dialect and it is a major dialect in Bihar.

@Angie, Sita would have not been the way they show her in all the Ramayan. Their must be some strength in her character, not to be confused with power of suffering. Being a princess, she is taught various arts. There must be a lot more to her then normally shown or written. Being incarnation of another form of Shakti, she can definately not be weak. Let's hope future epi. confirms this opinoin formed based on this epi.

@misti, to be frank I was never interested in Ramayan because it's a sad story. That was my opinion. Was actually doubtful about this track. But I like this confident independant Sita. Who questions her father & Janak too gives her time to make up her mind.

The connection shown her & Ram is convincing too. I guess I may like this Ramayan.
