Oh goody another opportunity to break down Starjuna's genius plot.

Quick Legend:

D = Drupad

DI = Draupadi

A = Arjun

Here is what we know:

1) Drupad (D) wants to marry Draupadi (DI) to a king

2) D wants marry DI to Arjun (A)

3) Drona (DR) became friends D

4) DR's son Ashwathama (AA) is now the ruler of half of Panchala

It's analyzing time!!

Actually there is only one logical reason to all this. But here are my theories:

Theory 1: The way Starjuna confuses Yuvraaj and Rajkumar ... I think they have confused King with Prince.

Theory 2: D is thinking/hoping that only A survived the Lakshagrih so A could marry DI. Since A would be alone and is a super warrior, chances are to uphold kshatriya dharma, A would conquer land and become a king, thus making DI a queen.

Theory 3: D has hidden his evil, emotionless, nature in front of Krishna to avoid some more bhaashans, and is secretly hoping DI will get married to Yuddhi (Y) too, thus making her queen

Theory 4: D wants Y to make A the Yuvraaj and not Bhim (B). So when/if Y retires/dies, A will be there to be king and DI will be his queen

Theory 5: D doesn't know what he's talking about ... drank a bit too much madira?

Yesterday's Episode Stuff:

Some things I never understood in yesterday's episode:

1) If Bhim can lift a column, smash it onto the ground and break the center of the stadium, does this mean that his feet don't have the same power as in his hands (thinking back to the Lakshagrih track)

2) Right before Shaki told the kshatriyas to raise their weapons, Arjuna and Draupadi were shown about to exit. However, after the other kings and Duri, etc. stopped/left we see Drupad coming down to bless his daughter and as such both Arjun and Draupadi pay their respects by touching his feet. So does this mean that if Shaki hadn't said anything then Arjun and Draupadi would have both left and the entire emotional scene that followed wouldn't have happened?

3) While they are adding random characters, I wish they would bring back Rukmini. Pallavi has great talent and I liked her ... so as long as they are going to distort the story, they could have included Rukmini. It would even make sense, since Draupadi's mom is never shown, so Rukmini could instruct Draupadi about marriage life, etc.

On to today's episode:

1) Ok I have to ask... How did Sahadev fall behind. I understand that he was caught up in all those bad signs, but when he tripped and fell (haha), he laid there as if someone had stabbed him multiple times and he didn't have the strength to get up. He just laid there looking at the sky, as if his final moment was about to come (and he even closed his eyes too 😆)

2) Yuddhi was the first one to say "Bhim" ... so either he was really confident in Arjun (seeing as he takes advice from Arjun, I guess he knows him pretty well) or he made a boo-boo 😆

3) So why did Bhatukeshwar stop after getting the jewelry... i mean he knew the Pandavas secret, and they didn't request him to keep it a secret .. wouldn't it have been safer to carry him along ... i mean that was the initial plan.

4) Arjun interrupted his mother's prayers ... doesn't he know better than to do that?

5) Why didn't Draupadi touch Shikandini's feet (like she did for Dhristi) ... she just hugged her. It would have been nicer to show her start to touch her feet and then stopped half way (since Shikandini would have stopped her) and then hugged... it would have added 5 seconds to the show ...

6) Where is Drupad's wife?? Shouldn't she at least be in this, you know, to bid her daughter farewell!!! see this is where Rukmini would have been a perfect addition ... Krishna is Draupadi's friend, and Rukmini would be Draupadi's mom-like friend!!! Or perhaps Starjuna is trying to tell us that Drupad's wife died, and Drupad in his grief went into an all rage mode (hence his constant yelling and extreme hatred of women), and only when Krishna came did he cool down.

7) If Bhisma's intentions were to bring the Pandavas back, then why did he allow the yuvraaj abhisheik? (speaking of which, it's an earlier episode, but when Duri comes to pay his respects to his mother, Dussala chirps "Pranipath Jyesth Brahta" ... and she was ignored 😆)

8) kya baakhwas episode tha... especially that last part ... the promo seems to be just as crazy

EDIT: oh one more thing -- my prediction for the next episode. the stones Krishna gave Draupadi will fly out of wherever she is keeping it... and will fall near each of the Pandavas who are standing in a wide circle around her (just like the Arjun and Drupad scene)

Oh another question --- this is from wayyy back. But I thought Drupad wanted to kill Arjun (revenge), so a) what made him change his mind (IIRC after Krishna came, he had an instand change of heart, but curious if there are other answers) and b) Arjun didn't know that Drupad changed his mind, but he did know that Drupad wanted revenge ...so why would he enter the contest??

EDIT 3: Oh and I'm growing on Yuddhi too! yay yuddhi 👏

@Spatel - I have decided not to take this StarBharat seriously varna I will be disappointed at every step. Now I try 2 see the humour in it.

Am watching the BRC version which I fortunately have on CD - Yudhi and Bhim had more dialogues in it. Watching the Pandavs squabble about who got to be Bakasur's lunch.

in the old MB, Krishna comes and cools the tense climate lol; basically saying that Draupadi had asked for a husband like all of them. I hope they dont drag it! the precap looked like major drama!!!
