Well I am guessing the reason they speak like that is so TRP masses can understand the language as well. True the mannerisms and dialect were different in the 1940s.

The second bold, if a king of politician did something like that today. They would be GREATLY frowned upon and called corrupt, malicious and chauvinistic. They have to make Ranaji a character that would be considered likable for the modern audience.

The rest I agree they clearly haven't done their research as well as the projected in the promos. You made some valid points.

I don't doubt DD's acting abilities because I really loved her in Madhubala but yes, she does tend to stick to one acting style, no matter how different her character is. There are some actors who becomye & look very different with a different character. But DD's quite the opposite. She seems the same no matter how different the character & that is why in all her shows there has always been comparisons with her previous characters.

I don't know about drag fest. Its too early to say. But I am not at all impressed. Probably only the plane they used for Siddharth's entry impressed me.

But yes after a few months, you can expect all the grandeur to have vanished with the real palace replaced by a film city set.

Sorry to Quote you. I understand that you are entitled to your opinion about the show. I for one is surely liking the look and feel of the show.

I don't find any problem with the language used in the show. If you look at characterization and the class from where they are coming from you will notice that pre-independence india did have lot many families with forward thinking. Considering that Gayatri's family is open and well to do i find the language pretty appealing.

Missing Something ?? I guess the language question may be because we compare period drama with mythological or village backdrop scheme.

Coming to actress playing Gayatri's role. i saw all her serials and found that she is an actor par excellence when it comes to making the character her own. Gayatri is a 3 episode old char but, the transition you see from 1st episode to the latest one i bet are very different. If i have to imagine anyone looking and playing this role then i feel she fits the bill any day.

I am happy that i let the char progress from 1st episode and didn't make comparisons because i wouldn't have enjoyed as much i do now watching Gayatri's role.

Comparisons are bound to happen i heard similar comparisons in all her shows but at the end of the show there are articles about "No one can play this role other than Drashti".

Today's one scene - when she talks to her mom and consoles her .. check the similar consolation scene in geet and madhubala and watch this one .. very different (i am not talking about dialogues but, expressions of the actor)

If the original post was creating for greater purpose then please ignore my Quote for your post.

@prc_fan, But I saw candles in Gayatri's house instead of electricity lights. 😕

I agree about DD's one style acting especially in the beginning of the the episodes in the show, but people complained similar when MB started. However, as the show went on, no one did and everyone found her very different from Geet. She also puts on weight in the beginning after coming from a huge break which she again loses in few months in the show. I guess she takes time to be in the character.

So I am hoping the same here. I am already finding her different in acting. The first episode especially the scene in the library with the kids did remind me of bit about geet, but since then she has been very different and I am not remembering her previous character. I hope everyone feels the same in few episodes or in month, and of course, she improves too.

I am not bashing you here.. You def have a point but there is the factor that Gayatri has been labeled as a manglik.. Their was a regressive mindset in the 1940s and still in some parts of rural India today.. That if a girl can't get married she has no future, no dignity, and is basically no good at all. That is how her bhabis view Gayatri.. As a loser who will probably get no where.. . She might belong to rich parents... But in those time the paretns 's money and property were inherited mostly to sons and not daughters.. You have heard of the saying that women being women's enemy..While I agree with the topic maker about the setting not being realistic.. I even agree about DD's OTT acting which some what gives her limitations.. Their is a way to depict a chirpy character in a subtle way for an example Kashaf's sister in ZGH.. was bubbly happy but not OTT.. very realistic and relatable.. I disagree about the bhabi angle being unrealistic.. for me its very much relatable.. Just my POV not bashing you
