@ladymcbeth:As per spoilers no fighting will happen.Karna will refuse to fight arjun saying that arjun has won on the basis of his valour hence he wont fight him.So i dont see any fighting happening

why isnt anyone commenting on today's episode

i enjoyed today's episode a lot .Best things were

1)Krishna ji convinvcing arjun to take part in swyambar indirectly and very smartly.Thank god arjun took Yudi and Bheem's permission before going.I am glad they showed this

2)Arjun finally winning the swyambar was done well (where was the fish actually) in any case when flowers fell on him after he had hit it looked beautiful

3)Karna's silent expressions that spoke volumes about his grief

True Balram and Krishna always went together - pretty much like Ram-Laxman. I suppose everyone here knows the story of how after Ramayan ended, Sheshnaag requested Vishnu to be his elder brother in his next birth and Vishnu granted him his wish... so although he was the Mahanayak of this tale, Krishna always bowed his head to Balram and sought his blessings.

Besides that, Bheem should've been seething with rage when he saw Duryodhan for the first time in Draupadi's swayamvar. But here he seemed completely oblivious. Saving grace was they gave him a dialogue to convince Arjun to lift the Shiv Dhanush. And hopefully the makers show that he helps Arjun stop the fight that breaks out after Yudhisthir escorts Nakul and Sahedev out of the arena.

It's because he was hungry (if you remember, they were seeking alms, and then half way decided to carry the old man to Panchala). Poor Kunti .. it's probably been days and no words of her sons, but I'm sure the Pandavas made it to Panchala in a few minutes.

Serious question - you know that area right above where Drupad, Krishna, and the royal family sit... it's sort of an arch with the left and right side resembling wings. Now in the center -- is that a horse's head or a bird's head?

I wanted to say bird when I first saw it, but it looked like a horse's head ...

EDIT: Oh wait, it can't be days ... unless the swayamvar was spread out ... but wow, Pandavas must have been running and jumping and flying. Wouldn't it have been easier to just call Ghatotkacha, have him drop off the old man in Panchal, and the Pandavas could look for more alms ... see this way they won't get recognized.

the fish, it seems was in another dimension. Shit the technology they had back then compared to now is amazing. compare doing this as a birthday game versus pinning the tail on the donkey or hitting a pinata with a stick.

I agree wholeheartedly on points 1 & 3. The makers did a good job of showing it.

On point number 2, while Arjun winning the swayamvar and nice his and Draupadi's expressions were spot on, the CG was - well CG after all! Where was the fish? In the universe?

so the main question after this episode is where the hell was the fish?And how did that arrow defy all laws of gravity?

keeping logic aside after a long time i enjoyed an arjun centric episode.This moment truly belonged to arjun and shaheer did well to potray it

But, for the flowers the audience wouldn't even know whether Arjun hit the whale from another universe or not

Today StarJUNA lived up to its name and for once I have no issues with the screen time allotted to Arjun. Shaheer needs to work on his dialogue delivery though - his "naman" justification dialogues sounded depressed - like a boy trying to be a man! Look and acting was good.

Glad Bheem n Yudhi got some dialogues. And Karna retained his dignity by not taunting Arjun unlike the other "warriors"

Krishna's gyaan made sense, but not sure why none of the princes and kings were suspicious of his encouragement/challenge to the brahmins?

Karna's flashback to the cart and then realizing that the Brahmin Yuvan is Arjun was also odd. The makers need to line up the dots better

Loved today's episode. Yesterday was Karna all along and today it was only Arjun and Krishna.

Liked oversmart, funny Batukeshwar. Loved how Krishna quipped Rukmi and Krishna Arjun dialogue.

Yes the whole hitting fish sequence was well executed.

Draupadi swayamvar is my favorite part of mahabharat so I was curious about it and StarBharat did not disappoint. 👏⭐️
