Angie thanks for the analysis. I have not watched yesterday's episode so I can't comment on that but in day before yesterday's episode Mahadev was reminding me of my father. I mean the way Mahadev insured that Parvati is kept busy visiting baby hanuman so that he can watch Ram-Sita romance is very similar to how my father insures that my mother is kept busy doing something that she likes so that she is not around to disturb him when he sits in peace and watchs his important football matches on TV.😉

😆 Misti, your father is so wise. I was also very amused by that scene. First he discourages Parvati of them going for visit to sons and DILs. Then he happily sends them to Kishkindha while he stays back to enjoy Ram-Sita romance. Yesterday too, he was looking indulgently at their meeting in the market place.

I liked the whirlwind called Urmila. Anyway, I have always liked Urmila in Ramayan and have always considered her to be the most neglected character in Ramayan. I am actually missing the hot tempered Laxman. Wonder when will they show that Lakshman to us. But I am completely disliking their one dimensional caricatured Ravan.

I too liked how they are portraying Urmila. She was probably never given the importance because she stayed back instead of going with Lakshman the way Sita did. But she suffered so much too for 14 years.

I don't know why Lakshman is being ignored so much. I want to see hot-tempered Laxman. Raavan and now even Meghnad are getting on my nerves. I start losing interest whenever they show Raavan. I had watched few episodes last year when they had shown Raavan. That Raavan was complex - his ego, insecurity combined with his devotion to Shiv was really shown well. So I was anticipating seeing Manish Wadwa's Raavan and his clashes with Rubina's Sita. Hope they improve the script. Otherwise the second part of Ramayan will not be interesting.

Sita has partially got a new dress. I think that she is still wearing the same blouse. So Ram is trying to convince himself that the dhanush is more important than Sita. 😉. The market scene was very amusing with all the wind chimes and everything and I liked it. Rubina had a priceless expression on her face when Ram's expression changed from that of smiling to one of seriousness.

Misti, yes to everything you have written here. But I was happy that at least they gave her a new lehnga. I too liked the market scene. I was getting a memory of another character from another show at this scene and was imagining him in place of Piyush.

Here is why I think Valmiki Ramayan mostly ignores Urmila. Valmiki Ramayan entirely focusses on the purpose of Ram incarnation. In that story, Urmila's feelings do not matter much.

Akhl, the web link does not work. I don't know of any version where Urmila has been given much importance.

actually there was a poem written on Urmilla's feelings for her husband it was in the text book when I was studying beautiful poem in hindi I don't remember who was the writer of that poem.

Apart from this I have never read or heard any thing about Urmilla's feelings when Laxman left her to be with Shri Ram and Shri Sitaji

I am not watching DKDM but I had no idea that it is full of so many flaws
hmmm they are twisting the whole stories of Puran and it seems their chronology of things that happened is seriously misguided. The writer of DKDm is in dire need of a good panditji to give him the right information 😲
He is so misguided that he is misguiding the whole world with his crap 🤢😡

Rasya, I have mixed feelings about this version of Ramayan. But then I had mixed feelings even when I watched some episodes of Mahadev on and off last year and this year too. I have just started watching Mahadev from the beginning. The script was definitely much tighter in the first couple of months with a lot of attention paid to even minor characters. Now this is not the case as is usual with most daily soaps that have been running for a while. I do hope that they tighten up the script for Ramayan as some characterizations have interested me.

I am somewhat confused about the baby Hanuman part. But I think they are showing all of this stuff in flashback either through Anjani or through Mahadev. So more than likely, it is grown up Hanuman at this time who is similar in age to Ram.

As far as all these stories are concerned, I look at interpretations and watch an episode if it is interesting. In Mahadev, I have liked some and do not like others. So far I have liked Urmila and Sita's characterization, interpretation of relationship between Janak and Sita, interaction of Manthra and Naarad, and connection between Ram and Sita. I am also liking relationship between Anjani and Hanuman with stories of little Hanuman. But I have major problems with how they have shown Raavan and Meghnad. The minor irritations I can ignore in the name of melodrama and artistic license.

Very funny analysis Angie!

BTW< WHy does Mahadev need to send Parvati and sons to Kishkindha? DOesn't he have Recording? Or he wants to just enjoy the live TV alone?😆
