Ok I've seen this too many times to have to question it.
Everyone is calling Ghatotkach's mother / Bhim's first wife: Hidimba... but I thought that was her brother's name? (Hidimbi is the sister of Hidimba / wife of Bhim / mother of Ghatotkach).

I'm sure there's something I don't know, so had to raise the question 😃

The brother was Hidimba. Don't pronounce it as Hidimbaaa. Don't stretch the "ba" too much. Just "ba"

The sister i.e Mrs Bhima was Hidimbaaa, also referred to as Hidimbi.

One more distortion that the CVs, in their excitement over writing Drupada's speeches, overlooked.

Drupada only wanted a son who could kill Drona. He said nothing about Drona's head being offered @ his feet.

Out here, he did say that he wants that from his son. Only problem: Drupada was killed hours before Drona was, by Drona himself. So would Dhristadyumna have put Drona's head @ the feet of Drupada's corpse?

CVs may kill Drupada after Drona...to save the honor of this trash dialogue.

How would it be if they show some sort of dark love angle between Draupadi and Karna?😈 Devdutt Patnaik hints at something like that in his book, so do few of the spin-off authors like Chitra Bannerjee in The Palace of Illusions. Personally I find the idea fascinating if it can be executed properly.

Drupad was not this bad at all. 🥱 He was arrogant and proud of his wealth, and his rejection of Drona was about the only sin he committed. No where in books does it write that he tortured sages and hated females. They've made Drupad seem like some sexist Ravan. Drupad in fact loved Draupadi. He performed the yagna for a son, but not because he hated females. He just wanted a son who'd be able to kill Drona. When Draupadi also came, he loved her too, and he secretly cherished a wish that he could marry her off to Arjuna.

Btw, in the book, Shikhandini turns into a male before the birth of Dhrishtadyumna and Draupadi right?

The actress chosen for Draupadi truly makes for a striking beauty. Well done on the casting part. 👏 She may not seem breathtaking at first glance, but her eyes are expressive and exudes strength and tranquility at the same time.

Now the Pandavas look unfit in comparison to her. 😆 None of the actors amongst the Pandavas have impressed me so far. Maybe it has got to do with glorification of Arjun's character and others as his mere sidekicks.

The timelines are not captured anywhere.. But something to think of is that, in Draupadi swayamvar it was Drishtyadumna the one who declared the competition open.. this is confusing remembering the fact that Sikhandin was her eldest brother. If not Drupad it should have been Sikhandin to get the honour of leading his sister's swayamvar..
