Was Dron proficient only in archery? Did he teach only archery? Why didn't we see him teaching other war forms like mace , sword , spear, duel fighting , horse , elephant riding , army formations ( vyuhas ) ? Whole focus is teaching archery and that too on Arjun. It would have been great if other forms of warfare were covered too because Dronacharya was not just an archer. He got knowledge of all the weapons from Parashuram.

Even i felt that the childhood track was winded up too quickly . They could have shown it for one more week .

They have not shown the training of other weapons . Yudhishtir excelled in throwing the spear , and Bheem and Duryodhan excelled in wielding the mace ...Duryodhan later learnt the fimer skillls of mace wielding from Balarama .

They could have shown races between the princes in horse riding ...Nakul had supremacy in this .

They could have shown Drona teaching the theoretical lessons more too ...his job was to train the princes to rule a kingdom , so administrative training was a MUST .

They could have shown sword fighting ...they didn't .

It must be noted that ALL the princes knew EVERYTHING.Archery was even known by Bheem , Yudhishtir etc but what they specialized in was their expertise and their interest . Its like an MD doctor specializes after general medicine .

4 tests by Drona

illusory crocodile which Arjun pierced with his arrows

bird test

filling water in the earthen pots where Arjun used the mystical varunastra

asking his cook to serve Arjun his food in the dark , where Arjun figured out that if the hand goes to the mouth exactly with the food , so can it hit the exact target in the dark and THAT led to him practising archery in the dark , NOT the Bheema falling in the quicksand thing , it was contrived

various jobs done by students at gurukul ...right from bringing firewood , to helping the Guru patni and the cook in cooking , to setting leaf plates for lunch or dinner , to pressing the tired Guru's feet

learning spiritual discipline at early dawn ...learning meditation .

Only 2 tests were shown , dunno if i have missed the other 2

but the childhood track should not have been winded up so fast . It would have been thoroughly enjoyable . Bheem played pranks on the Kauravas . They did show it but very little.

Yes you've said it right ! Anoop singh had also twitted 4 days back that the senior group will make their massive entries on 22nd of november..I really wish they show Karna's education by this week otherwise that would be unfair 😳

I think they might show who choses what weapon after Dron makes it clear that Archery is for Arjun only...

Only Arjun is the hero of this Mahabharat and I have a feeling that only through Archery and I guess compettition between Karn and Arjun, this battle would be fought. Hence what's the use of showing useless stuff
