An average episode IMO

Dhrit-Vidur scene: Would have been better if we could have gotten a glimpse of Vidur neeti in their conversations. Dhrit's fears were well portrayed and very real

Panchali-Abhi-Subhi-Arjun scene: Always a pleasure to see Panchali caring for her loved ones. There was no need of making the bracelet scene so SOAP-ish but I guess that's what will prompt her to ask for peace. Distortion of my favorite character too :( Draupadi was one of the few pro-war persons during Udyog parva but here looks like she would be the one to bargain for peace) Of course, Krishna knows everything but there was no need to spill the beans before the war. What would motivate human beings into karma if they knew everything in advance?

Gandhari-Dury scene: Dury sounded like a modern and logical man today till he started with how he was insulted at the Maya sabha. I agree with his views on the 'mayavi' diyas. If only the writers could have emphasized on karma and not superstitions. I thought they were targeting 21 st century beliefs. I guess, some things never change on Indian SOAPS.

Looking forward to UpaPandavs even if they were born mysteriously after Abhimanyu's birth in IP by niyog/viyog/absentia

curse u bsnl! only because of slow speed I watched half an hour episode in 1 hour 🤢
now abt episode though these type of episode are not my fav cup of tea(I mostly don't like emotional scenes too much) still it was needed to show what was going to mind of parents scared to lose their children! anoop u r awesome man! riya u too rocked! k one thing u guys noticed kunti characterization is of a strong lady having control over her life and her family (which I feel is right correct me if I am wrong) while gandhari is a helpless mother who can't make her son follow her command (btw she wasn't shown ever commanding) rather pleads to her don to come on right path! she doesnot hold the rein unlike kunti! starkunti is one of my fav character in term of taunting! is arpit now a days looking really evil kind of person! I liked him trying to blow diya! "I would have sung "happy birthday " if my video did not take so much time in buffering! do u guys too feel in getup of abhi paras look really much younger than his real age(like his offscrewn pics and onscreen appearance look different) ! today all three arjun-subhi and drau really looked as parents! paras look like shah kid!

Regarding Abhimanyu's age and 'minority' at time of his death, following considerations appear to reconcile both...

# According to Hindu scriptures, the Full life span of human beings is 400 years in Krita (or Satya), 300 years in Treta, 200 years in Dwapara and 100 years in Kali Yuga. In fact, during the Kurukshetra War, most of the military top brass of both Kauravas and Pandavas were more than 100 years old.

# There are four stages in life - Balya, Youvana, Koumara and Vriddhapyam. In Dwaparyug, Balya stage was upto 40 years, Youvana stage upto 120 years, and later Koumara and Vriddhapyam stages. But now in the Kaliyuga, Balya stage is upto 15 years, Youvana upto 45 years, Koumara upto 60 years and Vriddhapyam beyond 60 years.

- From this perspective, maybe, today's minor age at 16 years could be equated with Dwaper yug's 32 years- on 'double scale' Life span...

# In any case, Abhi, even at 32 years, was much younger than the opponents who ganged on him in the battle. He was indeed 'minor/child' comparatively speaking.

Sample ages of the contemporary warriors;

- Duryodhana was 90.

- Karna was 105...

- Drona @ 125...and so on.

Or other contemporary warriors;

Bhishma over 150,

Yudhi 91 years

Arjuna was 89 (more or less) .

Not that it matters.😆

Yeah right.. but dint he want a son to cut Drona's head and present it at his foot? so may be it will be Drona first to die in starbharat..

The friendship still confuses me though. drupad has no reason to be angry at drona except that he is the leader of the enemy .. apart from that StarDrona did everything correctly.

He offered to help Panchaali but Panchaali refused his help. He spoke up numerous times during the VH, he told Karna to shut up.

You might say that Drupad owes Drona one, so by that standard he can forgive Drona for being on the side of the Kauravas ...

One thing I'm looking forward to is how they make Drupad hate Drona again so Drupad can command his son to kill Drona and Drona can kill Drupad 😆

Haven't seen the epi yet.

But yes, the fallen bracelet looked "soapish" thanks to the precap shown on Monday.

And even I was extremely disappointed with the promo - Draupadi pleading with Krishna about not wanting the war. I mean, exactly what is ⭐️Krishna trying to prove by spilling the beans beforehand? As it is, THIS Krishna reveals "too much" even under normal circumstances.

Does the concept of "karma" hold any ground if the results of our actions are known beforehand? Under such circumstances, Arjuna's concerns in Kurukshetra about NOT wanting to fight would be extremely valid if Draupadi ends up warning him about the massive and large-scale destruction that awaits.

Or will Krishna (for some reason) ask Draupadi NOT to reveal anything to the Pandavas about the "future massacre" so that they don't sink away from the war?

If they really gave that much thought, Upapandavs wouldn't have been an afterthought who were apparently born before abhi's birth while they lived in IP but are still younger than Abhimanyu😕

I feel the writers should have some confidence in the audience- we don't need to be spoon fed

Since I started watching ⭐️Bharat, I was BORED for the first time today. All the distortions and all the LOL moments (Panchali's Clint Eastwood impersonation with Dushy comes to mind) did not succeed in making me turn the TV off. Today, I was BORED. When they have very little time left to wrap it all up, WHY WHY WHY a filler episode like this?

I am off to watch the Shishupal episodes tonight. My buddy Shishu is always good for a laugh or two.
