Now, why do I get the feeling that Yudi's half-truth on Day 15 might just be transferred to Arjun?

As it is, ⭐️Yudi has already become a willing accomplice in Krishna's chhal. So, Drona might not necessarily trust his words so easily (even if he is a truth teller).

Also, ⭐️Arjun uttering the half-truth to Drona might not be entirely surprising if you look at it, considering that in ⭐️B, Arjun's one constant sentence to Drona has always been,"Kyaa aap ko mujh par vishwaas nahin, Gurudev?"

So, no surprises if this sentence does get uttered by Arjun one final time on Day 15...

In any case, CVs are always looking to invent their own drama where none exists.

So, what better drama and bigger irony than Drona being lied to by his favourite student (of all people) - that too, someone whom Drona himself claims to trust fully?

If Bhishma gets taken down in a 6 v/s 1 manner (Shikhandi shot arrows in today's epi, and as per the precap, all FIVE Pandavas will subsequently shoot arrows on Monday), then can the 7 v/s 1 fight ever be called "unfair" with regards to Abhimanyu?

Salim Khan writes the script. I don't have a problem with the script. The dialogues are good. But whoever is writing the story, or is helping with the storyline.. I am disappointed with that person. I am also irritated with the cast. I started watching mb not because of any actor. I hardly knew anybody except Sayantani Ghosh aka Satyavati. I started watching it only because it was Mahabharat. That's it. But now, after watching it till Kridangan, I was still watching it for the story and because it was MB. But then, the distortions started. And slowly I was forced to watch the show because of its star cast, music, sets, picturisation etc. they ruined the story!!

I always thought that the reason Abhimanyu's death was so tragic and infuriating was due to the fact that he was mercilessly ganged up on by six warriors at the same time and this was one of the first major times in the war that the one-on-one combat rule was broken.

Sorry but your impression of Abhimanyu's death is quite inaccurate, he was never killed the way you are describing it.

Look up my post -- "What really ' happened' inside the chakravyuha"

If the ⭐️Pandavas start shedding tears like soap aunties simply at the prospect of attacking Bhishma on their own, then how on earth will they ever prepare themselves to fight from Day 11 onwards?

Till now, it was their Pitamah who was the Kaurava senapati. Day 11 onwards, it will be their own guru...and how will they then react on Day 15 when Drona gets killed?

Oh, and with regards to Karna, a complete river might just flow out once the Pandavas find out about their connection to him...

Vrish & Ashwini_D, as per Wednesday's epi, the "transformation" will last for a period of 24 hours only...
After which, the "reversion" will take place, and as per Shikhandi's words,"Mujhe samaaj se antardhyaan hona padega" ("I will be isolated from society")

Now what is this "social marginalization / isolation" all about? I honestly don't understand.

As rightly pointed out, Shikhandi even had a family of his own after the transformation was proven. In other words, he actually became a full-fledged man after the transformation, and also participated for the ENTIRE length of the war.

But, in ⭐️B, Shikhandi is NOT a full-fledged man since the transformation is "temporary".
Heck, Draupadi even addressed him/her as "jiji" 🤔
Now, whether you look at it from the perspective of purely following the epic, or that ⭐️B is 21st century MB, making a transgender (who actually became a full-fledged man) undergo social marginalization (for whatever reason) only reflects upon the flawed mindset of the CVs, I suppose...

The worst part is that Shikhandi/ni being accepting of this "social marginalization" is being put forth as a "sacrifice" for the victory of the Pandava cause...🥱

I ask - how many such ⭐️"sacrifices" to go further?
First, Uttar's death (which, in reality, was an "actual" killing), and now Shikhandi/ni being accepting of "social isolation" (when it never really happened)...

It would be quite ironic if Starbharat's portrayal of Shikhandi, a transgender, falls prey to prejudices that have been denounced by educated and sensible society today when they have meticulously tried to portray Draupadi as an equivalent of a '21st century' modern woman, to hell with what the epic says. WHY do they assume, that just because we are dealing with a bygone era, that era would also be plagued by the social evils that we faced (and are still facing to an extent) till recent times? Why not just follow the epic without muddling it with modern day references and 'social messages'?

The constant reminders to significant characters of how they would go down in history also get on my nerves. We, as a readers/audience of an epic that has been passed down for generations have privilege of knowing the fate of the characters. But why do you, as storytellers on screen, have to constantly hint at it and also use it as an argument in casual conversation?
