Even I loved Bhima today- he's kept his promises so far

Drupada was killed by Drona on the 15th day of the War.

For Today...well, where do i start?😕
Day 12 of the Kurukshetra n the CVs ruined it for me completely!! Especially between Karna & Abhimanyu😔...the entire face-off was more imaginary than realistic🤔...at least it was presented that way!!👎🏼 Fine...it started off well, with both Karna n Abhimanyu mouthing few, but very powerful lines👏...their confidence levels overflowing..yes, the fight started off great too, with each one shooting arrows at one another without any break for exchange of looks or words..👍🏼

But then..Kunti arrives on the battlefield...at first i went "What??"😲 How can a woman step into the battlefield while the war is in full swing?? Later, it was shown as an illusion appearing before Karna's eyes😕..Right...so what does Kunti say with some weird expressions?🥱 Just that Karna cannot be insensitive as to shoot a young boy of his own blood!!??😵 Lols😆...Kunti ji...did u forget that this is the war for Dharma?? And its already begun between brothers & own family..weren't the Kauravas responsible for it in the first place?😡 If truth & victory should prevail, someone ought to win while other lose & even sacrifice their lives!!🤓

Whoa!🤪 What's more...Karna in tears n hands trembling to shoot Abhimanyu post that Kunti Gyan??😒 Then the visual effects of Kunti's disappearance😕..n Karna's search for her😛..Abhimanyu's call out to Karna, to kill him as instructed by Dury!!😔 And finally, the sun setting down😳...Gosh!! Did we need all this melodrama?🤢 This is not a Commercial Soap CVs!!😡 Why ruin the crux of MB for us??🤢😡 They might as well have shown the sun set when Abhimanyu was disarmed😕..because of which Karna was unable to kill Abhimanyu..

I Don't even wanna go further on this one!!!🤔

I liked the first bit where Abhimanyu shields Dury to stop him from attacking Bhim👏...Bhim of course was in full swing today😛...killing another 50 Kauravas...but despite that i am surprised that the Kauravas still have 7 Akshouhini senas left n the Pandavas still 2😆😆😆...Lols (As indicated in the Precap)!!🤣...wonder how that's possible?

The Karna-Arjun face off with Madhav looking on was Nice!!👏👏 Dury...yet another day to mourn for his dead Bros n a good job by Arpit with the emoting!👏👏 Shakuni...surprisingly silent n out of picture today😕..the transition of scenes from the Cremation centre to Gandhari mourning amongst blown away diyas was good👏👏...Drith looked desperate but one doesn't feel sorry for him..🤢

Good to see Draupadi n Subhadra post battle😊...showing concern for Abhi baby's wounds😳...n thankfully, Draupadi wasn't shedding tears!! She seemed concerned yet stayed strong n was Contemplating on her Sakha Madhav's words on the death of all her sons during the war..👍🏼..Short one from Pooja but she Rocked it!🤗

Hoping for a better Episode tomorrow n No..or at least fewer distortions from the CVs during the Chakravyuha!!🤔

I don't know why Abhimanyu is shown as an incompetent kid, protected only by opponent's mercy and some silly raksha kavach..Why do they even need a bunch of warriors and a whole grand scheme to do him in.

Such a lame episode. I guess Kunti will apparate into the battlefield once more before Karna slays Ghatotkach and Karna will release the spear only after seeking forgiveness from her hallucination.

It was worth watching just for the AbhiRa scene😃
Otherwise -
Karna looked like a proud Papa. I almost expected him to start handing out cigars, he looked that proud of putr Abhi😆. Aham does well with subtelty, just like SS. Melodramas are not his forte
Arya Bheem again. Saurav manages to looks like he is thoroughly enoying dismembering the Kaurav brothers. I want to see a scene where he relates it all to Patni😳
For some reason, after going through the EDT, I thought Kunti either magically appeared to Karna or he had a flashback. TG, it was only Karna's imagination. I thought it was nicely done.
Subhi is back, thats one mystery solved
Drau was good in the small scene. TG, no rona-dhona
I started watching the show for Krishna and then Panchali. Neither of them is showing up much these days and definitely not in any solid scenes. War it may be, but they could have shown quite a bit of them. Hopefully in the Abhi track they will show up.
Some seemed to think Abhi is being portrayed as brash and rude. Name one 16 year old who did not think (s)he knew it all! Abhi had better reason than most to behave that way. Still, he was good, but not better than the rest. They are called sarvshresht at some point or the other; they cant all be the best.

even. I thought so! really it seems like our cvs have drau image of a "touch me not girl"! no wonder her son magically appeared! coming to episode I liked few tid bits and was cursing for most of time with commentary on distortions and character assassination! my father was looking at me and listening my rant! abhi karn duel started off gr8 and then it fell back on ground with a bang! kunti mata really? are these cvs nuts! starkarna has no clear view abt his duty? he is the most disloyal person to stardury! he gave a promise but didn't even fulfill it! I don't like this hesitating karna. he is weak! so easily emotionally swayed like wind! paras is really a gr8 actor. his attitude doesn't look fake.(though many times I don't like abhi characterization as some arrogant kid).atleast his mommy is back alongwith badi mummy! concern showed by them was nice! uttara abhi scene was cute! both looked so yummy!

That Kunti scene was perhaps the most epic thing I've seen in this serial ... the way they showed it made it look like Kunti herself came to the battlefield (she emerged near an empty chariot).
Though, there is one thing I didn't get - she said that it would be called rakt ka pyaas for Karna to kill Abhi since Abhi is a ballak -- but didn't Bhim declare that those first 20 Kauravas weren't yodhas, but ballaks ... so ... does Bhim have a rakt ka pyaas or something, because if Bhim can have it, I don't see what's bad in having Karna have it.

The Abhi-Uttara scene was pretty sweet ... filmy, but sweet I guess.

Drupad v. Duryodhan:
Victor: Duryodhan ... which actually makes sense because Dury was always able to defeat Drupad. He only got caught back during the guru dakshina because Drupad played the duplicates card. A fairer match would have been Duryodhan vs. Dhristadyumn (I hope we can see this one day).

Arjun v. Drona
They didn't show any part of this except Drona throwing his sword, Arjun whipping out his own sword and blocking the incoming sword which magically winds up back in Drona's hand... I think the lesson here is that when a person throws his weapon at you, a person should either a) try to catch it or b) push it further away from the enemy, not send it flying back to the wielder...

Finally, there has been one thing bugging me ever since Bhishma was taken down -
Does anyone else feel sympathetic for Duryodhan? I mean, the poor guy is constantly made a "prisoner" in one of Abhi's elemental traps, while Bhim slaughters his brothers in the most gruesome ways right before him. Sure Duryodhan sort of did the same thing during the VH by making the Pandavas slaves and then attempted to disrobe Panchaali, but Duryodhan is making a genuine attempt to save his brothers whereas the Pandavas did nothing but look down in shame and look on helplessly like lambs in a field.

Maybe this is WW the Pandavas even more, but at this point, I don't get the point. What is keeping the CVs from showing Duryodhan actually stepping in to save his brothers and having a fair fight with Bhim, ultimately resulting in his loss and humiliation because Bhim spares him saying that his time hasn't come yet. As Bhim and Duryodhan fight, some of the Kaurava bros can attack Bhim, who easily kills them. It's the same result - death of # of Kauravas, except in a more likeable and less humiliating way.

I've never been a fan of Duryodhan, and definitely never liked StarDuryodhan (what with all his crazy nature)-- but they keep showing him unable to do anything when faced against an archer. Back in the rangbhoomi - Dury couldn't move because Arjun froze him. Yesterday's battle shows Abhi creating a ring of fire, and today's epi showed a water bubble. Duryodhan is probably the strongest among the Kaurava brothers, but the helplessness we see in this serial reminds me of nothing but a damsel in distress. He constantly needs saving and can never think on his own.

Instead of being a warrior and exacting his revenge on the fictional shastraharan, he contemplates suicide by burning himself, but Karna talks him out of it
He gets captured by Jarasandh and is saved by none other than Karna
Karan unfroze him during the Rangbhoomi, and again Karna saved him from the water bubble today.

With all the character distortions, this isn't surprising, but if you want to create an evil character such as StarDury - make him evil to the max and not a helpless old lady who can do nothing but watch. Make him face challenges and go against odds. If this was StarBhim trapped inside StarKarna's water bubble, StarBhim would have no trouble breaking out of it, so why this difference. At this point, I have no clue why StarBhim is wasting time killing a certain number of people since there isn't anyone on the battlefield that can face him - except StarDrona or StarKarna (neither of which have challenged StarBhim yet).

Sorry for the rant. Just watching Duryodhan made helpless again just annoyed me.

I get your pain for Dury
But like you, I was reminded of DS and VH on seeing Dury watching helplessly. Unlike ⭐️Dury, ⭐️Pandavs were ready to beg (and did, if memory serves) to stop Drau's assault. I dont see ⭐️Dury even uttering a 'will you please?' I dont see him negotiating. I dont see him compromising. In fact, I didnt see epic Dury doing any of those either

I dont feel much empathy, I am afraid
