Thanks for this post dear.
I guess i have been whining, grumbling, complaining n irritating everyone with this one point that the CVs have cleverly shifted the whole blame on Draupadi. Maybe the CVs thought that, anyway, she is believed to be the 'root cause for Kurukshetra'.
So, her image is already maligned in the minds of the general public...so then y destroy the saintly image of the Pandavas, especially Yudisthir by breaking that misconception? Let not the truth come out, that the war took place for land n throne...n let the age-old misconception of women being the cause for wars be re-established. 🤢

I so hate the CVs.

This is how the CVs are promoting 'Women Empowerment'... 🤢


their concept of 'Women Empowerment' is where a woman sacrifices everything for anyone, takes all the blames, keeps crying, endure insults, etc. just like other SP bahus... unfortunately they forgot that Draupadi is not some fictional character of their daily soap... these people are scared of showing the reality of this war.. as it will hurt the age old sentiments of people who believe that the war was actually for some Dharma Sthapna that's why they put it as a revenge of Draupadi... when in reality except for Bheem none of her husband actually cared for her agony...

Since start they have White Washed Kunti and Pandavas... so they continued it in the end as well..

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

Sabhayata, something made me a shock. Kunti and Draupadi came to console Gandhari. Firstly Kunti approached her and requested not to grieve over his sons' death. Gandhari was furious. She went back to somewhere and grabbed sword. She was attempting to kill Kunti. Kunti's throat was bleeding.😲

Why did she drew sword at her? How can CV be sure like that ?

How did Gandhari know where sword is kept somewhere while she was blindfolded?🤣

I wish the final fight would have been a mace fight, but that was too much to expect. They had to bring Draupadi at the scene of the final battle, how else could they have resolved the the final conflict? But that fits in with the spirit in which they have shown Draupadi so far. Stardraupadi has always been at the forefront, calling all the shots.
Curious to know how they end this.

P.S: Please don't tell me the Upapanadavas are slaughtered as a consequence of Gandhari's starcurse to Draupadi. There are parallels between the two women, but there are other ways of showing them as well.

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😭



Really !I m damn sure ,i m going to feel the same ,i m missing this weeks episodes ,will have to catch them later on star utsav😭

blue -??🤣

The Episode Rocked for me in a couple of places👏👏👏..especially the first half with Panchali & Govind & with Govind & Daau Balaram!🥳 Those were just the kind of scenes i'd wished to see before Dury's Vadh and i'm glad the CVs gave it to us!👏👏👏 Yes, but there were bits in the Episode that i couldn't get myself to agree upon & had me thinking..😕


Krishna🤗..the Mastermind behind everything😳..and the "Sutradhar" of the Mahabharat telling Draupadi that He was "Vivash"!?😲😕 Couldn't quite get the stress on that Promise to Balaram here😕..Krishna has an answer to Everything..and by Everything, i mean Everything!!👏👏👏 There's isn't a single problem He doesn't have the Solution to..bound by Promises?😳 Well, there's always a way out & Krishna knows exactly how to help out, without making it seem like He did everything👍🏼..but there's one thing i completely agree with from waht Govind said..Man must ensure his Victory through his own Effort!👏👏👏 That's the only way Pandavs could ensure a win in their last battle..👍🏼

The Sakha-Sakhi Convo Rocked as it always does!!🥳 Trust Fiery Draupadi to help Hubby Bhim out thru' this🤗..the Strength, Determination & Fearlessness all so Evident in those Eyes!👏🥳 Loved the way she said: "Pati aur Patni toh Ek Hi Aatma Maane Jaate Hain Govind, Aur Main apne Pati ki Sahayata Avashya Karungi.."👏👏👏 Only Panchali could stand against all odds when the going got tough!👍🏼 Loved Sakha's smile when he said: "Avashya..Vastav Mein Main Tumhari Pratiksha Hi Kar Raha Tha Sakhi..Yeh Yudh, Tumahara Bhi Hai.." even Krishna knew that with Him deciding to stay mum, Sakhi Krishnaa was the only one who could help the Pandavs solve the mystery of defeating Dury😳👏🥳..wasn't Sakha so proud of His Sakhi..

And i'm so glad that Krishna actually mouthed that bit to Panchali: "Yeh Yudh Tumhara Bhi Hai.."👏👏👏yes, it was also Draupadi's fight against all the Humiliation, Adharm, Insult, & Wrong Doings..but it wasn't only her fight👍🏼..it wasn't only for her or because of her that the battle of the Kurukshetra took place..like many perceive it to be & continue to blame Draupadi till this very day!!😕😡 And i'm so glad the CVs drove home a message here thru' Krishna himself!!👏👏👏 When Draupadi determined, tells Krishna that she was going to help her husbands no matter what, Krishna doesn't tell her "Avashya..Yeh Yudh Tumhara Hi hai.." (This battle is yours & so you must help..), instead He tells his Sakhi that this battle is also for justice to be brought unto Draupadi👏👏👏..And yes, Krishna was also right in saying that this battle couldn't have been won without Draupadi's help..that says a lot in itself!!🥳 Kudos to the CVs for that clarification!👏 This was needed & will hopefully change people's misconceptions about Panchali!👍🏼

And then..the moment we all wished happened at least once during the battle😉..a Lash Out to the Aryaputron from Panchali!👏👏👏 Woot! Woot! Loved it when Panchali told all of them "The pledge for this battle was taken by all of you brothers together..then why is it that only Bhim is seen fighting?"😕👏..the Pandavs deserved some more Lashing from her🥳..and Govind would've supported His Sakhi here for sure!!😉😳 But Sleepdev decided to intervene just then with his "Poorvabhas" on the mystery to Dury's defeat🤔..guess i better leave Sahdev at that!!😔 I mean..Seriously, nothing much had changed since the DS..😕 The Pandavs watched Draupadi helplessly back then n they did the same even now, when Bhima was battling Dury all alone!👎🏼 Tired, Beaten & Bleeding!!😲 Dharm or Adharm, didn't all of them work as a team to kill Mamashri Shakuni?😳..whereas that wasn't even necessary then, considering Shakuni's fighting skills!!😆😆 Did the Pandavs forget how all of them had insulted Draupadi & later jointly attacked a weaponless Abhimanyu in the CV!?😡😕

Panchali was all Powerful & Determined to help Bhim & she was Glowing like Fire!👏👏👏 Loved her Lash Out to Dury!🥳 Again something i wanted to see, for all the "words of appreciation" he had used for her - "Mayavi" "Kulnashini" and the likes!!😡😡 Loved how Panchali called out to Dury & said that Man's Sins will eventually become his weakness👏..irrespective of how much good deeds his / her parents have done!👍🏼The Biggest Sin of Dury's life would definitely turn out to be his biggest weakness!!

That takes us to the Guessing Game that the Pandavs started😛..And Yudhi - "Avashya Hi Tumhara Hruday Hi Tumhari Nirbalta Hai.." trust the Samrat for coming up with weird Logics!!🤢🤔 "Hruday Par Prahaar Karo"😕..didn't he even see how Bhim kept making attacks on Dury's chest earlier to no avail?🤔 Even Dury gave it back to Yudhi for his intelligence!😆 And then..Nakul🤔.."Aap Ka Mastak Aap Ki Nirbalta Hai.." Hahaha..!!😆😆

Loved Krishna's expressions when YN took their guesses on Dury's weak parts😆😆..it was like Govind was thinking: "Gosh! Trust these Bird Brains to find a solution..what logic they come up with!! Why did Balaram take a promise from me..i have to let this in their hands now!?"😉 LOLS!!🤣 Sakha should've let His Sakhi take a guess at Dury's weak spot😳👏..Dury's defeat would've been ensured way long back!!🥳

It was then Govind's Sakha & Panchali's preferred Arya who eventually managed to take the right guess!👏👏 Loved the way Parth went: "You've shamed your Ancestors Duryodhan..you didn't have the confidence to go completely bare before your own mother..because one needs a clean heart for that..you asked the wife of your Brothers to sit on your thighs during the DS..that was your biggest sin & your biggest weakness.."👏👏👏 Loved Panchali's eyes when Parth made that guess😳..she was on Fire!🥳 If only eyes could kill..Dury would've burnt to ashes right there!👏 Was Govind so proud of Sakha Arjun for guessing this right!!

And as has been since the commencement of the battle, it was Bhim who recalled every bit of humiliation, pain & insult that Panchali went thru'👏👏👏..every "Apshabd" that Dury mouthed against her...every bit of instructions he had given Dushy..every bit of his Vow👍🏼..& then Bhim beat the pulp out of Dury's thigh to defeat him!🥳 Loved how Bhim had that Eye-Talk with Govind before thrashing Dury😳..it was like he got consent from the Supreme Lord himself about the mystery to Dury's defeat👏👏👏..and Govind's smile was Awesome!!🤗 That Winning smile when flashed assures you that Krishna is around & Victory is sure!!👏 Also Loved Panchali's expression when she was assured that Bhim had hit Dury at the right spot😳..Bhim Loved Panchali more than anything in the world..he could do anything for her☺️..and sparing her wrong doers is something one couldn't expect from Bhim!🥳 So proud of him!👏👏👏

And i absolutely LOVED the Virat Roop of Govind they showed in line with Bhim breaking Dury's thigh..👏..the timing of that scene was so perfect!🥳..Dury just got that flash before his eyes & it now dawned upon him as to why those Govind flashes had ever crossed him then..👍🏼

Balaram's entry with rage & anger against Bhim & Bhim's surrender to his Guru was another Awesome bit from the Episode!👏👏👏 Saurav & actor playing Balaram struck some Superb chemistry here!!👏 Boy!! Was Balaram really angry on Bhim😕..he actually scared me with that "I'll Destroy You" look😲..only & only Krishna could stop him!!😉😃 Trust our Mastermind Govind to find just the right ideas Bang on time!!🥳 All he needed to tell Daau was that Jyesth himself used Adharm for the restoration of Dharm!👏👏👏 Like Balaram said, no one beats Krishna when it comes to weaving a web of words!!😳 And Govind being naughty with His Daau😉..and mouthing: "Agar Main Aap se Chhal Nahin Karunga Toh Aur Kisse karunga.." was all that was needed to bring a smile on Daau's face & get pacified😳😊..Don't we just Love that Killer Smile from Govind?? 🤗His Wisdom is truly Incomparable..👏👏👏

Felt sorry for Dhrit & Gandhari..they did everything to save their Adharmi son, but as destiny had it those who sinned were bound to be punished & Dury too met his downfall😕..but parents' grief always pinches you from within😭😭..especially when Dhrit was nearly begging that at least one of his son's survive😲..the poor soul couldn't even balance on his feet!😒

Kunti & Draupadi meet Gandhari😳..was Gandhari seething with rage & pain at the loss of her sons😕..she nearly slashed Kunti's head off!!😳 I really Loved Draupadi in this bit👏👏👏..when Kunti approached Gandhari willing to be killed at her hands, Draupadi stopped her with a surprised & stern expression like she was saying: "Are you out of your mind? What are you doing Mata?"👍🏼 Gandhari was in pain & sister Kunti was trying to pacify her😕..but doesn't Kunti understand that Gandhari has just lost her last hope..her son & she needed time?🤔 What was with all that "Bless my Sons" & "I'll be you Daasi for life?"🤔 Kunti deserved that Lashing from Gandhari!👏👏👏

But i thought it was Govind who went to pacify Gandhari😕..here the CVs let Kunti & Draupadi handle all the calming..Draupadi telling Gandhari that the "Pratishod Ki Aag" began from her & so Gandhari could put all her anger & pain on Draupadi's head😲😕..The CVs better not show Gandhari cursing Draupadi next!!😲 I'll be really disappointed if that happens😡..because Gandhari is a woman first, before being a wife & a mother..& what Draupadi went thru' in the DS was humiliating & painful..no woman would be able to bear with such treatment or even forgive her wrong doers..Gandhari needs to understand what her "Kul Vadhu" went thru' because of the Adharm of her own sons & back off with harsh words for Draupadi..😭😕

Dury wanting Ahi to show him the Pandavs' blood on his sword before Dury died😳..well, the massacre of the UPs is coming up😲..its time for more shock, pain & tears for Panchali!😵 I so won't be able to see Draupadi in pain again!!😭😭😭

The actors though had to put up with so much water being sprayed on them for major portion of the scenes..not sure if the heavy rain was a necessity😕..the Poor Souls looked uncomfy & they couldn't even keep their eyes open for long without fluttering😲..Pooja looked like she was shivering with cold..😒

Couldn't end without a Huge shout out to all the Amazing Actors!!👏 What a Fab job they've all done!!🤗 Vin Rana has grown so much as an actor!👏 Really like what he did with his liners👍🏼..the expressions & voice tone down all intact!👏😊
Shaheer..yet again he Rocked it!👏 The Eyes expressed all of Arjun's rage towards Dury👍🏼..the Voice Modulation & Expressions Bang On!!🥳 The Emoting was just perfect!👏👏👏
Arpit..though he had a lot of shouting to do, did a neat job with the Emoting & Expressions!👏 Dury's Ego & Attitude all coming right thru' so Perfectly!!👍🏼 RIP Duryodhan..Arpit will surely be Missed!😭😭
Pooja😳..Aww..She's my Rockstar!!🤗 I am at a Loss for words to describe how Wonderfully she emoted her scenes👏..The determination & Strength of Fiery Draupadi played to Perfection here by Pooja!!🥳 For me, Pooja's become synonymous with Draupadi😳..the Eye-Talk, the Body Language, the Voice Modulation & Dialogue Delivery, the Expressions..Pooja Nailed it Completely!!👏 Love her to Bits!!🤗
And the Magnificent Govind played just as Magnificently by SRJ👏..do i even need to say how Superb he was?🤗 I so Love his Eye-Talk..he just doesn't need words to express himself, & can still send across the right message about what Govind could be thinking & feeling at the moment!🥳 Superb dialogue delivery👍🏼..& that Smile..that Killed Me!!😳..So Love SRJ!!🤗

My take on episode. - I missed starting part of it. I saw only from part when Arjun gives hint to bheem. - Dury is finally killed. Saurav and Arpit did a good job in fight sequence. It must be tough shooting in rain like this.. Their battle looked effective and atleast it was a battle...unlike other chat fights...😆
- Dau is angry at Bheem.. and his anger looked justified to me.. but then even Krishna's argument too. I loved how Krishna brought the argument of how dau is doing same as what Bheem did...
- A small mention in dau scene- I loved Bheem's reaction to it.😊
-Drit's outburst - Well Anoop could have done better job there i felt ..Somehow it looked too forced and not with flow.. I felt they could have overall done better with drit's scene ..
- Gandhari's outburst- ria is fine actress and I love her voice modulation when she is angry.. She gives it back to Kunti.. well honestly it was insensitive of both kunti n draupadi to come to her at this stage..when she just lost her only left child too...I mean they could have send someone else... Kunti Maata was too daring to go near wounded mother..Why did Gandhari stop ..😆.. oops I mean .. that brought Gandhari back to her real self..She withdrew sword and cries.. Kunti maata tells her oh you lost your kids..😡 and I have devoid myself of all relations.. Oh Man.. was she trying to gain sympathy here.. Honestly this scene could have been better if it was done in HP after whole thing is over... not just after dury's death..
- Draupadi comes over next - Again a wrong move .. she calls herself the root.. and reminds gandhari who considers her too as root.. so do we have curse coming to draupadi...? As someone said there can be other ways to depict parallels between these two mothers who lost all their children. Please CVs show some sensibilities here and not show this curse.I would rather see Gandhari's outburst with Krishna as in epic.
Precap- UpaPandavas 😔

well i going to confess one thing here

Dury hasbeen negative character of MB,I never liked this character from the beggining ,but found actor attractive 😆 and his voice only when he talks and laughs 😆but later on forum itself i read that on different shades of dury character ,like on friendship,as brother ,that it wasnt totally black rather it was a grey character.

Then the episode when krishna comes to hastinapur to make deal instead of war.Thats episode i actually could feel the hatred which was seeded by shakuni grew into hugely that he rather became of victim of hatredhood ,i would appluad arpit for giving his best performance 👏krishna even said i m angry at him ,just pity him .Later ,i got to see different side of dury like when bhishna was shown sleeping on arrows ,dury broke down ,before this i had never seen any emotions from dury towards anyone in family .Later on how he broke down on 99 bro s death,karna ,he kept breaking ,only aswatama being there for him and shakuni,later shakuni also died.Shakuni is someone who dint have any feelings for anyone but dury wasnt like that.Nways i m definatelty going to feel upset seeing dury s death.But i m happy for pandavas victory.But i dont understand why does death means victory ,coudnt they just plan to capture the person just like bhishma was planning to do with pandavas ?

Nways i missing forum these days!
