It was like Bhima told Drona,"Ashwi is dead" but Drona didn't believe him.

So, Yudi being the truth teller was asked about Ashwi. Yudi said,"Ashwathama hatha iti...naro va kunjaro va..." - meaning Ashwi is dead, could be man or elephant...but the "elephant" part was uttered softly.

So Drona felt that his son Ashwi had died...

but he said na...thats other thing that the part Drona cud not hear...he he told the truth only

I actually liked today's episode. Although it was a bit melodramatic and a lot of unnecessary "fluff" was added to the story, I liked the message Krishna was delivering to Drona. In the actual story, Drona does flare up after hearing about Ashvatthama's death from Yudhisthira. He does not immediately give up his weapons. In fact, he gets so angry and is ready to destroy the whole battlefield when the sapta rishis appear in front of him and condemn him for all the sins he committed. Reminded of all the adharma he had done in the past, Drona decides to give up his weapons and life in the battlefield. Doing pranayamam, he gives up his life right before Dhristadyumna beheads him, though it seems to everyone else that Dhristadyumna had actually killed him.

Here in Starbharat, it's Krishna who gives "updesh" to Dronacharya instead of the sapta rishis, and instead of criticizing him about his sinful deeds, he criticizes his parenting. So there is distortion, but Krishna's message was good too. The only thing is that it would apply more to Dhritarastra than Drona, since Drona from the epic was not such a bad parent.

actually it was what Bhima says that makes drona ultimately give up his weapons

first Bhima comes and tells him that ashwi is dead which drona doesn't believe and continues fighting

then all the rishis come and tell him that time of his death his near and he should lay aside his weapons

after that drona goes to yudi and yudi utters the half lie due to which drona becomes disheartened

seeing drona getting weak after hearing about ahwi dhridhtdyumna attacks him again

during this duel between the two Bhima says the following

Then Bhima, of great wrath, holding the car of Drona, O monarch, slowly said these words unto him: If wretches amongst Brahmanas, discontented with the avocations of their own order, but well-versed in arms, did not fight, the Kshatriya order then would not have been thus exterminated. Abstention from injury to all creatures hath been said to be the highest of all virtues. The Brahmana is the root of that virtue. As regards thyself, again, thou art the foremost of all persons acquainted with Brahma. Slaying all those Mlecchas and other warriors, who, however, are all engaged in the proper avocations of their order, moved thereto by ignorance and folly, O Brahmana, and by the desire of wealth for benefiting sons and wives; indeed, for the sake of an only son, why dost thou not feel ashamed? He for whom thou hast taken up weapons, and for whom thou livest, he, deprived of life, lieth today on the field of battle, unknown to thee and behind thy back. King Yudhishthira the just hath told thee this. It behoveth thee not to doubt this fact.' Thus addressed by Bhima, Drona laid aside his bow

after that drona gives up his weapons

I dont think there were any, other than fighting for Kauravas & not speaking for Draupadi.. upto the individual to think if these are errors or not

what about eklavya?

as per me that was his biggest mistake nothing but selfishness caused him to do that
