My dear new young friends, including Orchid25, shubh_aarambh and the others of the same mind,

Don't bother about all these naysayers and doubters. What I felt about Gautam as Saras is there in the post, and I quote:

"One bit of inspired casting in Mahakumbh is that of Gautam Rode as a splendid adult Rudra.

I still remember my first look at him in the introductory scene in Saraswatichandra, with Saras standing in a lake performing the obsequies for his dead mother. He looked for all the world like a young rishi, a being not quite of this world, with eyes so remote that it was scary to look into their depths. If I had wanted to find the best parallel in our mythology, I would have said the young Rishyasaringa, who was so pure of soul that as soon as he set foot in a barren desert, the rains would come.

Here, with a role of an entirely different kind, and one tailormade for him, I am sure Gautam will be a treat for the viewers."

I am pretty sure that most of the doubters here will come around to sharing my viewpoint once they have seen him in action.

This apart, even if they don't, there is no need for us to fret. We will surely be in the majority and then to each his own! Moreover, I can assure you that they are very nice young people, and as some of them have explained, they do not mean to hurt anyone with their views.

Meanwhile, please do read my post in full and let me have your comments on it.

First of all Thanks aunty for replying.. 😊 I feel no one here is thrusting upon their views on another nor we are compelling others to like what we like.. Its just our way of replying to those who got doubts about his talent as many people might not have seen him and since we have seen we are explaining.. If I say Rajat tokas is not suitable for Akbar's role without watching him, will it be fair? So that's what we are indeed trying to say.. Thank you once again for your patience to reply 😊

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 That's the simple logic 😆 😉

Blue - there is an option to discontinue also... 🤣 🤣 🤣

That keep watching thing is for those who want to watch and are confused regarding the actor's ability.. If they don't like they will automatically stop watching.. 😆😆

Dear Shyamala, since this genre is one of my favorites I do understand the 'call of the chosen one' - you forget I am as much Potter mad as Sandhya and add to that I am Hobbit mad and Jedi mad as well !!! But as I said till last week the story was the hero but yesterday there was a clear shift - I can now bet on it that we shall see the sdult Rudra next week - being character oriented is one thing and being actor oriented is another - and the latter is the trend in our cinema today which is exactly what I see here - though Harry was the Chosen one he was never made to walk on water which is character orientation - when the character is blown out of proportion it becomes actor orientation. Good for cinema but death for story.

after all, he tied with our Jalal/Rajat for the best actor award!

Exactly. And whatever happened at that "tie" moment on stage was enough to differentiate 😆

Nice analysis. I started watching it from this week only and read written updates. This post did help me to get an insight of the story.

Actually for me it resembles quite a lot with Harry Potter. What with the chosen mark, some secret society, mantras everything everything reminds me of Harry Potter and that is the first reason I have decided to give a chance to the show.

Shyamala Akka,
