Draupadi did raise a valid question today. Why weren't the other husbands helping Bheem in killing Duryodhan?

I just find it really sad that despite having 5 husbands, the only person who always had her back was Krishna.

Yes, Bheema fulfilled all his vows and killed Kauravas, Arjuna also fought bravely in the war. However, their silences during the VH and when the Uppandavas were killed, troubles me.

None of the Pandavas hardly ever stood up for Draupadi. They all blindly followed their elder brother and that was about it. Govind was always there by her side like a true friend.

Also, what was up with Yudi and Nakul giving stupid ideas and Sahdev finally waking up from sleep and talking about the sudden Poorvabhas? Yudi and Nakul's idea were seriously face-palm worthy.

Govind's expressions were spot on when they were blurting out those stupid ideas. I loved his expressions when Paarth finally gave out the right answer!

Did they really need to shoot this sequence in rain? The characters looked a bit uncomfortable while saying their dialogues-was Pooja actually shivering?

Did anyone notice the happiness on Govinda's face when Arjun made the right guess? He must be relieved: at least someone made the right guess...

I loved Krishna's wisdom of words when he stopped Balram and the slight smile on Balram's face when Krishna teased him for doing chal with his older brother.

Kunti, Kunti, Kunti...she chose the worst time to pacify Gandhari. I agree with Gandhari, let them all get back to HP before she starts blessing the Pandavs. Any mom, even if she knew her sons were wrong, would be too distraught to bless the opposition in such a condition

If Kunti's submission wasn't enough, Draupadi invited trouble for herself (as if her life is a bed of roses) when she asked Gandhari to transfer the curses to her and affirmed that the revenge was instigated by her...what's with all these Pandav women. Real Draupadi would've never said that.


Looks like UpaP's will bet slaughtered tomorrow- let's get ready for more tears...




Real Drou wouldnt even near Gandhari ...

Actually she did. They both had the same pain after all. Both lost their children.

Regarding today's episode it was ok

Dury finally dies.However it was more of a 'mal yudh' than 'gadha yudh' between the two.But the fight sequence was decent with Arjuna figuring out the secret of dury's defeat

Balram as usual presenting the other side of the story.I liked how krishna ji pacified Balrama.Basically this is the summary of at least the war that people who use deceit got killed by deceit

But in the epic Balram never gets pacified.He goes to dwarka cursing pandavas

Felt really bad for dhrit and gandhari.Especially dhrit the way he was begging for the life of atleast one son😭.I know he probably deserves it but still this was a father's grief

Just hated ⭐️Kunti and ⭐️Draupadi coming to console Gandhari😡especially with kunti's extra mahan nature

Atleast give some time to gandhari to grieve.How on earth can she find solace in words of the women whose son and husband has killed all her 100 sons'.This was very irrational.In the epic Gandhari does stay with pandvas after the war and Draupadi does take care of her but this was no place or time to show care

⭐️Kunti mata went head asking her to bless panadavs.Is she mad?😡Gandhari is mother please remember

Just loved how Gandhari blasted kunti

In the epic actually its krishna ji who went to pacify Gandhari since Yudhisitr was scared that Gandhari will burn them to ashes.Would have preferred to see that instead i mean Krishna ji pacifying Gandhari

Today i was most impressed with GandharI could totally feel her grief ,anger and rage

I agree with the rest

But what does upapanadavs death have to with pandavas or their silence.How are pandavas responsible for this?

Krishna ji knew what was going to happen .He saved panadavs by asking them not to go to the camp.He could extended the same courtesy to other's

Everybody suddenly seems to be asking why the other Pandavas didn't help Bhima.

I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but in the epic, Bhima HIMSELF asks the others to be "spectators" to his fight.

This is after Krishna blasts Yudi for giving the offer to Dury of "kill any one of us and you win".

Bhima's words are as follows -

"'Bhimasena said, "O slayer of Madhu, do not, O delighter of the Yadus, give way to sorrow! However, difficult to reach it, I shall today reach the end of these hostilities! Without doubt, I shall slay Suyodhana in battle! It appears, O Krishna, that the victory of Yudhishthira the just is certain! This mace of mine is heavier than Duryodhana's by one and a half times! Do not, O Madhava, give way to grief! I dare fight him, selecting the mace as the weapon! Let all of you, O Janardana, stand as spectators of the encounter! What do you say of Suyodhana, I would fight with the three worlds including the very gods, even if they be armed with every kind of weapon!"'

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m09/m09033.htm

Of course, the question can now be raised as to why the other Pandavas chose to listen to Bhima's words about being "spectators" 😆

Finally saw the episode. Mixed bag, I would say


Panchali getting mad at YANS was so appropos.👏. And Govind agreed. His expressions at Y and N's moronic suggestions😆. Werent they watching the same fight?
Sahdev just gets a feeling they will win?😕 Thats why he didnt help?
Arjun won the Q&A session.
I have one question for ⭐️Panchali. Aap spasht uttar kyon nahin deti?😆



Epic Dau and ⭐️Dau really loved Dury. Why?😕
I really thought ⭐️Dau was going to get Freeze Gyan #5


I loved the way they tied the scene into Krishna's Virat Roop👏
But damn, I did feel like hauling Dury off to fix his broken thigh😕
Also did ⭐️Dury develop a Keechak fixation? That neck thing just kept bothering me


Drau's look at Kunti when she walked to Gandhari was 🤣. Almost like, Are you crazy, old lady?😲😆
OK, Gandhari stopped Drau's shraap and now she is going to give one to Drau😕😲



Pre-cap - Drau's babies😭
