Well, where do i get started for today's Episode..?😳 We sure had some Distortions yet again😕..the logic behind which wasn't clear enough to me..
So...I'll start off on a positive note, by mentioning what i liked Best in the Episode👍🏼...n that would be My 3 Heroes for the Day!!🥳 The very strongly connected Besties: Draupadi-Krishna-Arjun👏...This Awesome Threesome had me Applauding n the Superb actors playing them had me in whistles for the Wonderful Emoting!!🥳
Draupadi: Man!!🥳 Did our Fiery Yagnaseni Rock or What!!👏 The bit where she comes running to see her dead Father in the tent😒..i thought she would be shown all teary n sobby to no end!!😭 But i really Loved that controlled expression she held on to her face🤗...the pain n emotion still intact!!👏 As she came n sat down, next to her Father saying "Pitashri"..stroking his face...the pain so evident in her eyes😭😭...yet those tear drops hung there on the edge of her eyelashes👏👏👏..didn't roll down to even her cheeks👏👏👏..that's the strength Draupadi displayed today!!🥳 Drisht mouthing "Cry Panchali! Cry all u want but don't let this come to u as a shocker...this is Yudh"😭...was enough for her muster up all the strength from within n stop those tears👏..with the pain still intact, Panchali reminisced the death of her 2 Putr - Abhi n Ghato👍🏼...I so Loved this bit👏...Applauds to the CVs for making Draupadi mouth that it was two of her sons that she lost👍🏼...Ghato getting recognition for all his sacrifice n bravery like Abhi👏👏👏...n also being acknowledged by Panchali as her son!🤗 Am elated😃...just wish we had got to witness some Awesome Cute moments between Draupadi n Ghato before his death scene though..even a small talk😳..that would have Rocked!!🥳 Getting back, i Absolutely Loved the way Draupadi told Drisht that after losing her two sons - Abhi n Ghato, tears will not be able to calm or soothe her👏...n this time it was her father..yet again i Loved the Fiery Princess turn More Fiery in angst n pain as she asked who was responsible for this🥳...n when Drusht told her that Guru Drona had killed her father..Panchali's eyes were enough to burn down the entire K-clan on hearing that!!👏👏🥳 She spelled wrath n fury as she mouthed "Guru Drona will have to Die..u should return to the battlefield Brother.."🥳 I have Longed to see this Strong n Fearless Draupadi🥳..She is Back n How!!🤗..n yet with just as much sensitivity for her Loved Ones!!😳 Pooja Sharma is an actor Par excellence!!👏 She does so much with those Eyes😳...she Amazes you every time!!🤗 She Rocked it today n How!!🥳...n do i even need to say she Looked Drop Dead Gorgeous!?😳
Arjun: I Loved the fact that Panchali's Fav Arya was equally on Fire today!!🥳 That intensity was evident right from the start👏👏👏..he meant action (Finally!!😆)..n would do everything he could to defeat his Guru🥳...Those eyes spelled wrath as he invited Guru Drona to warfare with him👍🏼..not willing to listen to any of his Guru's warning or plea to let him go to son Ashwi for protection or otherwise👏..also it was Great that we got to see some good time of action between Parth n Drona👏...they were actually fighting n Parth just wouldn't let go!👍🏼 The rope-astra back again🥳...so all those who missed it😉...take a glimpse!😊 Shaheer Nailed it Completely!!👏 Loved him in action n all the intensity!!🤗 Yet again he was Amazing with the Eye-Talk n the Vice Modulation!🥳
Krishna: With Sakhi in action n Bestie Parth too👍🏼...Krishna's Fiery presence was the order of the Day!!👏 I Loved the immense Depth n Intensity with which Govind handled the Arjun-Drona fight n the half-truth Revelation from Yudhi🥳..those Eyes could Kill!! Krishna spelled Power, Knowledge, Truth🥳..that Killer of a Smile n disbelief on how a person of Guru Drona's caliber n strength could be blinded by "Putr Moha" to this extent was Superb!!👏 Krishna was the Strategist n Executor of today's battle n He got Yudhi to reveal the half-truth to Drona with much ease!!🥳 Yes...it was time for another round of Gita Gyan...after Parth n Bhishma Pitahmah, this time it was Guru Drona!👍🏼 What i Loved about this Drona Gyan scene was the way Krishna got enraged at Drona, watching him being blinded for is son👏..so much so that he was willing to use all his powers n destroy everything n everyone else around him😕..it was time for Krishna to enlighten Drona about the path of Righteousness too!🤗🥳 I actually Liked the Gyan imparted to Guru Drona😳..though late, it came to Drona as a realization of how he did go wrong under the name of obligation n duty!🤔...i Liked the scene for Krishna!👏 However, i least expected that Govind would reveal to Drona about the death of Ashwathama the elephant😕..n not Drona's son!😲 Haven't read about this revelation in the epic n don't know if any other version of the MB mentions this😳...although i have heard that Krishna did give some Gita Gyan to the other Important characters in MB..so not sure on the revelation bit!😕😕 SRJ...Man!!👏 Did he Rock or what!?🥳🤗 I Loved all the talking he did with those Eyes today!!😃 And the voice modulation yet again from the Clever Strategist to Task Master to playing Guru during the Gyan👍🏼...was Fantabulous!!👏 Those expressions n emoting were a class apart!🥳
Coming to bits on the Episode:
Draupadi regards Ghato to be her son even though she has never met him or interacted with him😳...but am glad they kept that intact👏👏👏...Pancahli was also mother to Ghato n she recognized his sacrifice in line with Abhi's🥳..so well done CVs for that!!👍🏼
Karna - the Epitome of Sacrifice on the show😕..remembers his promise to Kunti😕 (Oh Dear!😲 Not Again!!)..Thankfully, it wasn't the Illusion this time, talking to him😆...it was a flashback! And as expected, Karna decides to lose him self in "Mata Lok" n goes lose on the sword as well, only to let Sahdev injure his Jyesth Bhrata..🤔...some people never learn, do they??😵
The UPaPandavs😲😕...didn't get their role in the battlefield today!! I mean they could've stayed back in their tents with nothing better to do!!😕 They turned messengers n drum beaters for the Half Truth😲🤪😆..giving bits of the Ashathama Killing every 2 Mins!!😆😆😆 "Breaking News" types..🤣Didn't know the Kurukshetra war gave people so much time to take on tasks like this, keeping the "Doothas" resting!!😆😆😆..this took it to another level after the Pandavs' on field Time out Strategy Plans n discussions!!😆
Drona had a "Kavach" too??😲😕 Bright white n electric blue-silver😛...looked more like his armor had been rinsed in "Ujala Liquid Blue"🤣🤣..."Kapadon ko Chamakta Damakta rakhein..LOLS!!😆😆😆 When n How did he get that!? Waise he looked weird flashing it to Parth!!😕😆 And what was with reciting those lines to Krishna n Arjun n the "Tirchi Nazar" side posing!!...had me Laughing!!🤣..Those lines he mouthed sounded so memorized🤢...more like he was reading it out from a banner👎🏼🤔...n with Drona screeching like his Best Buddy Drupad half the time, most of those liners went unheard!!🤢 The eyes looked like they'd pop out any time!!🤓 LOLS!!😆😆😆 Quite a bit of the Drona scenes looked HAM to me!!🤢 Drona was way too Loud n In your face today😡..to a point of getting Irky!!😡 Even the Pandavs had this weird look on their faces watching him😕..Completely OTT!!🤢😡
Although they showed us a Glimpse of Ashwi when Bhima n Yudhi were on their horses in search for Ashwathama, i'm glad the CVs stuck to the Epic here n didn't use their Manipulations!!👏👏👏 Yudhi n Bhim went in search of the elephant n Whoa!!😊 That was a real elephant too!!😲👏 Grateful the CVs didn't show a Digitally Created n Transformed, Animated Elephant!😛 The editing was better but we did get glimpses of CGIs during the Karna-Sahdev bits n Drona bits!! CVs need to get that right😕..n what solace to see that just like the Epic, "Naro va Kunjaro va" actually turned up!!👏 Yudhi managed the revelation of the half truth to some Awesome Eye Control from Govind👏...Hehehe😆😆..n the murmur on the Naro Va Kunjaro bit was done up nicely..👏
No sight of Dushy or Mamashri yet again😕...Mamashri wasn't even around his Bachcha Dury today..looks like they both are off on their Last Holiday😛..LOLS!!😆😆😆 Afterall, Dushy will turn into a mere Shampoo for Panchali very soon!🤣
Who was Ashwathama fighting by the way??😆 Just shooting random arrows into the sky!!😕😆 And Dury was just enjoying the sights on the battlefield with wind blowing into his hair😆😆😆..it was break day for him i guess🤣..he just stood there chit chatting with Ashwi😕...n of course he stepped into Mamashri's shoes later, figuring out Krishna's plan so easily!!😲😕😆 Looks like Dury knows the various ways Guru Drona shouts out or cries😛..because he was Bang On with the guess!!😉😆
And then..Krishna gives Drona the Gita Gyan this time on "Good parenting"...on the Sanskars n Gyan on the Path of Righteousness that Drona didn't impart to Ashwi! Not sure Ahwi was only a shade of black as depicted here😕..he probably had shades of grey that could've been highlighted upon instead!😳 And the bit where Krishna tells Drona about the dead Ashwathama being an elephant n not his son😲😕..i don't know how far that aspect of the depiction is acceptable...justifiable rather..😳..will have to find out if any other version of MB has that aspect of the revelation!!😕
But what are the CVs trying to portray here? That it was not the Half-Truth that made Drona give up his weapons in emotion n pain...as planned by Krishna?😲😕 Are they trying to show that eventually, it was the Gyan imparted by Krishna that enlightened Drona to sacrifice his life for the cause of Dharma n finally give up on his weapons? In that case, what was the need for Bhima to kill the elephant? What was the need for Yudhi's half truth?🤔 What was the need of this Strategy in the first place?😕 The CVs could have shown Govind giving Drona Gita Gyan after the Parth-Drona battle itself, that day😳...just like it was shown in the case of Bhishma..n Drona would have given up on his weapons anyways! And if it was Krishna who made Drona give up his weapons n prepare for death, then why is there a need to show a Heroic attempt by Drisht to behead Drona?😔 Draupadi's Fiery "Lalkar" to Drisht to go back n ensure Drona's death seemed futile here because Drisht didn't even have to make an effort to fight Drona! His job was done by Govind n all Drisht had to do was cut off Drona's head while he was already in position, eyes closed n waiting to die!!😒
Not convinced with the CVs POV here😕...with what i discussed in the last para...if Govind's Gyan alone could do the trick, there wouldn't be any need for the MB war in the first place😒..the VH wouldn't have taken place either..isn't it?😕 Everyone would have been enlightened n the two Brother Clans would have Lived Happily Ever after!!👍🏼
Although i Liked the Gita Gyan given by Madhav to Drona👏...n the manner n tone with which it was presented to him..👍🏼, i didn't quite get the Logic of the CVs behind such depiction..😕😕
Finally, Drona will be done with n gone tomorrow..😳
