Very emotional but somehow dissatisfying episode
Positives are many
1) The juxtaposition of Pandav and Kaurav camps
2) Virat and Sudeshna - no melodrama, just pure shock and misery
3) Uttara. Could not have been easy holding her own with an actress like Pooja, but she did. The anxiety, the relief followed by shock😭👏
4) UPs. The excitement of war is gone and reality has set in. Abhi too. But the UPs showed it better in the split second shot
5) Rohit, beginning to end. Yudhi is not my fav character but I can actually imagine epic Yudhi reacting like this
6) Pooja, needless to say
7) Panchali remembering vansh ka naash and gaze landing on Dhrisht while holding Uttara😭👏
8) Pitamah with wounded soldiers in the tent while DDSK are celebrating. True senapathi that👏
9) Shalya's guilt
Negatives
1) The lighting. I understand it is supposed to be night. But it is also a show and I dont want to squint to see. The sepia tone was annoying enough!
2) Vijay aur parajay eeshwar par chod deejiye?! I am glad he didnt already forget the Gita but senapathi is talking about the morale of the rank and file soldiers who need a pep talk. Ding ding, wrong answer!
3) Pandavs except for Yudhi. Poor emoting
4) I am going to be in a minority of one here. Did not like Sakha Sakhi eyelocks. Panchali - Sad and accusatory? Govind - Sad and looking away?😕 After the 2 weeks of the emotional battery called Krishna Leela they should have shown a softly fiery but determined Panchali with a tranquil and equally determined Krishna. No words needed, just a different vibe to eyelocks. Instead they are keeping on beating the same horse. This duo has tremendous talent and amazing timing; SP used them well in the beginning. But now, ?????
