Hi there!

For me, the show seems alright but definitely not worth all the hype.

It seems like old wine in a new bottle, honestly.

I actually like Sid's and Rajmata's character and I really do agree with you that Gayatri's boldness/frankness is a bit out-of-sorts with the era they are trying to portray.

The sets and costumes look regal but the mannerisms definitely do not.

There was an episode analysis thread and right after the first episode, i had mentioned how unauthentic and absurd it seems Gayatri prancing around and then talking in that tone to the sipahis. Women those days, especially from middle class families, would never be allowed to interact so freely with the opposite sex.

Rajmaata's photoshoot also seems really unlikely in this regard.

I'm willing to give the actors some time. Drashti is one of my favourites from the current crop and not without reason but i do think she goes a tad bit OTT when she has to portray chirpy/bubbly scenes. I guess it will come to the director or her soon enough that as Gayatri, even those scenes would need to be toned down owing to the time, place and setting. Geet could afford to behave in a certain way but Gayatri cannot, it would be frowned upon by society.

And I also hope that the makers do their research thoroughly before showin anything. One cannot mess with history. They are very ambitious it seems, planning to incorporate the Quit India Movement and the second world War, etc etc and they do have a lot of ammunition, unlike other PHs , so I expect them to pull up their socks and show us something credible.

Otherwise, the show is nice enough for the likes of indian TV. It doesn't do much to have too much expectation, i have realized over the years.

@ SayaneeH.Lecter I agree with u completely here.In looters pakhi was driving a car although she don't know much about driving. I have read and seen many movies like devdas,Parineeta and looters and Sharat Chandras many other writings r there too.Women were very much free from that time only😊

yes i do agree with u

our family friend's mother who is now 90years old,i saw her driving the car when her age was approximately 60 & she was B.A pass & at that time she educated in eng.medium bcs local languages schools were mostly not available for girls

I think the modern aura is due to the British. We are expecting a conservative approach because of the era , but should understand that they are dealing with the niche educated and rich crowd. Her family is richer than the regal crowd itself , and hence they can afford to spoil their sole child . If you see the fact that they have only one child makes them stand out from the rest of the society. 3 episodes is too short a time to judge. We'll have to wait and see the story unfold , hopefully making it a little more traditional and authentic.

The first episode itself was very disappointing,except for drashti there is nothing exciting in the show,the same story 2 evil bhabhis,differing opinions of the hero and heroine,and ofcourse the same home politics where the chacha is conspiring against rana,the show practically has no scope,drashti's previous shows were far better than this

M seeing VD fans has done much research on 1940's than the makers and channel... But surprisingly critics also like the fact that Gayatri is educated
