I liked the episode because of two things:


1. Real emotions with no OTT melodrama (except Bhima's crying face)
2. Good dialogues and acting

Loved Panchali, Kunti and Pandav scene: Kartavya sadaiv peedha deta hai, tabhi tho log kartvaya se bhaagte hain. Yeh yudh hamara kartavya hai

Pooja's voice modulation during that scene was really very good.

Arjun-Pitamah scene was wonderful too.

My fav was of course Ganga-Bhishma scene. The actress who plays Ganga is quite good and her performance always exudes mamtaa and maternal affection. However, some of her dialogues were confusing today. Did she say Bhishma didn't have moh (attachment) to anyone and that's why he couldn't empathize with other's weaknesses? I'll have to watch that scene again...if someone understood the gist of that dialogue, please explain.

Dury as the commander who has to motivate his troops was natural but making the whole Drona vs Karna selection dramatic was not needed

All in all, a good episode

SP does a few things good: real emotions and dialogues. Have to give credit to them for these.

I think wat Devi Ganga meant is that, Bhishma was completely pavitra, with no sign of weakness in him.
In order to understand someone else's flaws, one needs to have some flaws in himself. But Bhishma didn't have any. That is y, he always punished people for their flaws, but never tried to teach them in the right manner.

According to Krishna, Bhishma never followed dharma and didn't do his karma and that's why ended up in that situation. Didn't Ganga contradict Krishna's statements then??

Today's episode was decent.

Loved my Parth-Panchali, sitting a little less than 2 feet away from each other. ☺️
And Arjun, for the first time, acted like husband, aka, ordered her to do something, instead of feeling scared of her wrath and saying "Mujhe Shama Kardo". 🤣
He even looked at her, for a moment. 😳
The Bhishm-Ganga scene was great. 👏
I really love the actress, who plays Ganga. Especially, her voice.
It is crystal clear.
Loved the way, she said, "In order to understand someone else's flaws, u need to have some flaws in yourself as well. And Bhishm, u had none." 👏
And I so agree.
But that ending scene was irritating.

I guess, Devi Ganga was talking about his traits, not his actions. Bhishm did not have the usual negative traits like greed, lust, disrespect for elders, being irresponsible, etc.
He did not have the flaws, which others in his clan, had.
Anyway, the CVs have a way of forgetting wat they have shown previously.

Yeah, sometimes the dialogue writers forget what they've said earlier...as far as Bhishma is concerned, I do agree with Ganga's assessment more than Krishna's assessment 😊

I would give due credit to the CVs for today...i actually Loved today's Episode! So many Positives...considering the amount of distortions we witnessed in the last few days..
Firstly, Kudos to the actors..Amazing Performances..Shafaq, Pooja, Shaheer, Arav! You guys completely Rocked it today!! Loved the emoting...the portrayal of emotions...the pain came out so naturally in their eyes n voices..yet there was determination, serenity & calmness..Convincing i would say!

Firstly, i Loved the fact that they finally showed Parth & Panchali together in the same frame...their eye talk was just Bang On!! Loved the way Draupadi has stood strong like a pillar of support to the Pandavas in these tough times..So Fiery...yet so Feminine!

Love the way Arjun is always silently seeking out Draupadi's eyes..her responses..her support to stay strong himself..their Love is so deep & intense! Pooja & Shahher nailed it with the eye talk n convincing emoting..loved their scenes together!!

Panchali convincing Kunti about how Duty comes first & why everyone needs to stay strong...Arjun in complete support of his Panchali..Arjun requesting Panchali to prepare food so he could serve Pitahma..well crafted scenes these were..

Just wish Bhim wouldn't cry so much...he looks like a Kiddo..Lols!! Bhim should leave these intense scenes to the experts!

The other scenes i so Loved today were the Arjun-Bhishm, the Arjun-Ganga and the Ganga-Bhishm scenes! So Touching...both of them...Arjun not being able to bear the pain Pitahma was in...the arrow he shot to fulfill Bhishm's wish to bring Ganga before him..Ganga's appearance n the way she asked Arjun not to worry about her son Bhishm because she would there to aid him..Bhishm asking why he was unpure as against his Mother - the symbol of Purity...n a mother's tearful talk convincing Bhishm that he did nothing but his duty..to name a few! These scenes touched our hearts...truly!!

Thankfully, there was nothing OTT with today's Episode...the last bit where Dury declares Karna as the next Senapathi could have been better though! Drona staging a walk out was avoidable considering the aura Guru Drona wore n the values he held on to...Mamshree was shocked but he sure looked like he had so much to say to Dury..

The Gandhari-Drith scene was nicely done too...if only the CVs gave us at least one Hug scene like that between Ardi...even in a highly emotional scene will do..will just depict how deep Ardi's love n respect, care for each other is..despite the sacrifices they made..

Looking forward to the Parav scene tomorrow...as hunted at in the precap!!

😃After a few days, I thoroughly enjoyed an episode
Kunti-Pandav-Panchali seen was nice
Panchali now started giving mini Gita?😆 And Arya Arjun appeared impressed😆
I thought I heard an undertone of things to come in what Panchali said. After all, ⭐️Panchaali knows none of her kids are going to be around😭
I liked all Pandavs except Bheem today. Too much crying man, stop already😛. You are a soldier!
Loved the Ganga scene. Dont know why, I felt like I was watching a real mother-son convo😭. I even felt his relief after talking to Ganga😊
At the Kaurav shibir - 😲 What just happened?!😲
They did have a 'drumroll, please!' announcement🤣
The look on Karna's face when Dury said all those things about killing Pandavs and sambandh to Pandavs was somethiing 👏 Kudos to Aham. Like Anuj Shaheer, Aham is better at non-verbal emoting
So, its going to be Whos the Hawttest Senapathi contest now?
Pre-cap -
I know Krishna plans for Ghattu to take Shakthi instead of Arjun. But, what was the need for him to talk to Arjun about it?😲. Now it looks as though Arjun conspired to make Bheem's jyesht baby cannon fodder😲😭
Also day 10 is still not done! They are not going to start day 11 till sat/mon, I guess😔
I am going to ask this question till ⭐️Bharat answers it. What happened to Shikhandi(ni)?

AAH! That's exactly what i asked after yesterday's Episode! I mean where did Shikandi vanish once Bhishm fell on the bed of arrows? No sign of him anywhere!!😕

Completely agree with u...
If Dhritarashtra and Gandhari can have hug after hug, if Karna can cry in Vrushali's embrace, if Arjun and Subhadra can have such cute pregnancy moments, then Y CAN'T PARTH-PANCHALI?
The CVs don't have to treat Draupadi like she never touched her husbands, especially Arjun.
We need one hug scene, and a proper, private, long hug scene...between Parth-Panchali...where, they will touch each other like husband-wife, and NOT devar-bhabhi...
