1. He's had to fight Duryodhan and the rest of his clan took the day off, smiled sweetly and said "Arjun aa gaya hai, let's take a break guys, he can manage this surely! Yes Bhim, even you!". And what an entry scene - puts Rajinikant to shame, the way the tear travelled all the way from Kunti to Arjun...
2. He leads the Pandav contingent, be it to meet and greet Dhrit, "saving" mum Kunti from Karna. Yudhistir - where is he? Dushasan got more screen time than Yudi...but not to worry our Mahanaayak is there na, he'll take care...
3. Today's episode takes the cake - lots of nayi soch must have gone into writing what we saw today! Creative licence at its best?
So what next for the Mahanaayak? If you think the CVs will give it a break and let him be for a while and let the actual jesht bhrata Yudi take over leadership, we might all be in for a surprise. Here's what my instincts tell me (and I don't even need to be Sahadev for these inputs, hehe...):
1. Game of dice - Yudi can ask Mahanaayak to play on his behalf - just as Shakuni is Dury's proxy, Arjun can be Yudi's - tit for tat! And guess what. our Mahanaayak will play dice with his gaandeev (didn't anyone tell you he was sarva sresth dhanurdhar?). Naturally, Yudi and co win, Kauravas end up in vanvaas - and there's no way 100 of them can hide during the last year, so they'll naturally end up doing another 12 years in vanvaas - and so it will go...while Pandavas, headed by our very own Mahanaayak live in peace in Hastinapur...how would you like this twist from CVs?
2. Killing Jarashandh, Keechak, Bakasur, Hidimb and the 100 kauravs - All accomplished by none other than - you guessed it, Mahanaayak himself. You see, Bhim (sorry, Vrikodar) was busy at an eat-all-you-can buffet in a neighbouring state. By the time he came back, our hero had already done his bit :-)
3, Vidur's clues on lakshyagrah - Were of course given to our hero, do you think Yudi can ever decipher such things? Needs a Mahanaayak to do that, sirjee...
4. Answering yaksha's questions - Just a slight change errr re-interpretation to the story here - we change the order a bit - Arjun goes last, answers all questions of yaksha and saves all his brothers. Howzzaat?
5. Last but not least, get crowned as samrat of Hastinapur - when he's done all of the above, surely he deserves the crown too?
What do you guys think?
