Mahabharat Episode Discussion Thread # 15 - Page 100

I guess Anu was right when she told me i shouldn't be pinning my hopes on the Dushy Vadh track because the CVs can't be trusted with their Modulation of Characters on the show..n that's exactly what happened today!😵

Draupadi turned out to be just any other female Protagonist from mythological or commercial Soaps being aired on TV today🤢...especially SP!!😡 Yes, Draupadi did have qualities of Love, Kindness and Forgiveness👍🏼..but what was so Special about Draupadi was her ability to speak her mind👏👏👏..her Strength n Fearlessness🥳...She was Fire👍🏼...A Woman who never tolerated Injustice👏👏👏...a Woman who could never Forgive her wrong doers unless they were punished for their sins👍🏼..She's a Woman we all can relate to and look up to as well!!👏👏👏 But what have the CV's chosen to do today??😲😕 Completely destroy that!!😡 And for what??😲 To Glorify someone's wrong Doings in the name of "Not Wanting to be Like Them.." Puuuhllleasee!!😵 All we hoped for from the CVs was to keep Draupadi's Fire n Character in tact, at least at the end of the show...but yet again they chose to Disappoint and turn her into a Sobby Dainty Damsel who wanted to give up when it was time for her Pratishod!!😭 Why CVs...Why???😕😭

I was fine to a certain point of it all👏..Firstly, i Loved the fact that we Finally had a 5 Min private Convo being shown between Parth and Panchali!!🤗 We waited for this for so Long!!😳 Glad the CVs fulfilled at least this one wish😃..well, I Absolutely Loved ArDi in the same frame!👏👏👏 Somehow, irrespective of the situation in the scene, ArDi manage to set the screen on Fire when they share screen space!!🥳 I have been missing one Super Convo between ArDi n even if it was a mini Gyan session, it Rocked!!👏 A Little Hug or Rub of her tears would probably be an Icing on the Cake, but i am Happy about this one!😳

Coming back to that ArDi scene we had, like i said i was fine with certain bits there👍🏼..Draupadi watching the dead bodies burn outside on the battlefield in silence...her heart emotionless n mind blank..Her questioning Parth about the purpose of all this bloodshed n what any of them got from this warfare but Loss, Loss of their sons, her father n Guru Drona..the ArDi Convo was Intense! I was alright with the way she questioned Parth if they too had decided to become demons in the process of the war..with their decision to kill Dushy, wash her hair in his blood n Bhim drinking Dushy's blood..those bits came off well!👏 I liked Arjun's determination all thru' that scene n the way he kept justifying why what was going on was right😊..why this "Vidhvans" was needed..why the wrong doers had to die👍🏼..I liked it when Arjun mouthed: "Striyon ka shoshan karne walo ko , aur Striyon ka aadar na karne walo ko, manav hatya se bhi bada dand milna chahiye"..that Rocked for me!!👏 I applaud the CVs for this👍🏼..Arjun spoke his mind about the status of women in Kalyug n why punishing the wrong doers now was Important👏👏👏..This liner was for our present Society that witnesses so many such cases of Disgracing a woman everyday😡🤢😭..all of this will lead to Destruction someday.

The turning point of the scene was when Draupadi spoke about blood, demons & then started shedding tears when she talked of Bhima killing Dushy😲😕..that was the point of disappointment for me..Draupadi feeling bad about the her own Pratishod of wanting to wash her hair with Dushy's Blood, Her feeling bad about Bhim ripping Dushy apart n drinking up his blood😕..No!!😵 Not Happening at all!!😒 This was the moment Draupadi was waiting for all the while, and now when her Revenge is going to be fulfilled, she is depicted as being Emotionally Weak and Unstable??😡😡 Why??😳 Am sure the Epic Draupadi had never forgotten her Pratishod and awaited Dushy's death eagerly, to calm that Burning Fire inside of her😕..But here Draupadi was shown questioning if she needs to do this😲..if such revenge was required n then Sobbing to a lot of convincing from Arjun n Bhim till she decided to go ahead with the Blood Shampoo!! This was pure Butchery of a Fiery Character called Draupadi!🤢😡 It took so much convincing from Bhim n Arjun to stop her from crying😕..To stop her from giving up on her Pratishod??? And what was with repeating of the lines: "Tumhe Yeh Karna Hi Hoga Panchali.."??😲😕 Surely, Draupadi didn't need any such coaxing!🤔

Further, What was the need for Convincing Draupadi thru' an Imagination Uttara's VH?? And a Flash of all those faces from the K-clan, before Draupadi's eyes??😕😲 It made no sense whatsovever🤢...was Panchali's state during the VH not convincing enough?😡 Was the manner in which Draupadi was humiliated, Molested n Disrobed not Grave a Sin enough to remember and get Convinced?😡😕 Was the entire Cheer Haran Episode an act so Small n Forgettable for Draupadi not being able to recall every bit she went thru'??😲😕 CVs failed to convince me with this one!!!👎🏼😔

I'm glad the CVs are trying to stress upon the fact that Panchali is not the cause of the Kurukshetra👏👏👏..but such Character Assassination of Draupadi and Glorifying characters like Dushy is so not acceptable!!🤢😡 Thankfully, the CVs didn't exaggerate that n decide to show Draupadi wipe off those tears n bring on that Fire, Fury n Avenge in those Eyes!👍🏼 That bit Rocked for me👏👏👏...Fiery Eyes Pooja was so Awesome!!🥳 Wish to see the CVs keep this character intact n we have a Great Episode tomorrow!!

The Cremation scene finally saw Ashwi talking of his Brahmaastra n how he intended to take revenge for the death of his father by killing all of the Pandavs..Loved Arjun's retaliation during that bit when he said that it would be the Pandavs who would be destroying all of the K-clan to bring upon Justice and Dharma👏👏👏..Shaheer Rocked here once again!🥳 Also Loved Parth mouthing: "Our one act of Adharm doesn't imply that all your acts have been that of Dharm" to Ashwi👏👏👏...that scene finally had Dushy mouth some lines on taking revenge as well..😉😆

Karna is Senapathi now😊...n did i watch Shakuni praise him in "Jai Ho" slogans?!😉😆..Shalya Rocked with all the Swearing he did to Dury n Karna👏👏...he called them foolish to fight the Pandavs head on n reused to accept Karna as Senapathy because of Karna's caste!😕😆😆...Lols!😆😆😆...So Dury got enraged n decided t make Shalya the Saarthi for Mitr Karna!😆..Boy!! Dury was Seething with Anger!😲😕😆..Shalya's expressions were to be seen!😆😆😉..n Arpit Rocked in that scene with his Emoting!🥳

Dushy beckoning Bhim to war the next day, with swear words n reminders of how the Pandavs spent a shameful life during their 13th year of hiding was Depicted Nicely!!👏👏👏 All that was enough to enrage Bhim even more as he took Dushy hands down n beat him to pulp!🥳 Bhim was spelling Wrath n Fury n there was no stopping him!!🥳 He did what he does best, reminding Dushy how he was fit only to disrobe women n that it was time he paid for daring to touch Panchali👍🏼..the way Bhim was pulling around Dushy's face in the precap, shouting looked scary!😕😲 Was Bhim on Fire👏..he kept getting these images of Panchali's VH that enraged him even more to bring upon Dushy's Vidhvans😭...that bit came off really well!!👏👏👏 Bhim wasn't willing to let Dushy die an easy death👍🏼..because he deserved worse!🥳 Man!!👍🏼 Is Bhim is so Protective about his Panchali!🤗 Saurav n Nirbhay did a Fabulous job with their parts!👏 Great piece of emoting from both..👍🏼

And i am looking forward to tomorrow😊...just hoping that the CVs keep our Panchali's character at its Fiery Best!!🥳

Still that Precap is freaky...torturous. All Pandav there to ensure vengeance in their white armours watching the vadh?! Its disturbing that after all their sanitization they are depicting what appears to be rather barbaric justice. 😲
