good review, Harshu...
abt the promo...the game begins...where we get to see Baji winning the first battle against the Mugals...don't know what game they will show, but I think he will win the Royal elephant , and will take it for his personal use...
though the truth is , Bajirao I , used elephant only when he won the war, and came back to Pune and was taken to his palace by procession ...else his horse was his fav and most trusted and used...coz most of his life , after becoming Peshva was spent on warfield, and he preffered to sit on horse than elephant..
another fact is that he didn't lose a single battle in his life, so is said...so I think they will start showing it like this, the battle of winning the elephant...
anyway, episode was nice...except the part of practicing Tarabai...Pallavi is very natural, and graceful, but that practice session was something totally unpractical...coz in that era, though her enemies won't think twice while using weapon against her, and no doubt, she was one of the best warriors, still , a minor soldier in her army, will never hurt their employer , specially a queen ...may be somebody will not agree with it, but this is the truth...
she was brave, much better soldier that many male soldiers, still she was their queen, and a minor soldier will never fight with her with full brutality in practice session...this was the truth of that era...and no, I m not questioning her ability, but yes, that scene was totally unpractical...
anyway, abt her son Shiva II, then he can be called useless, compared to his mother...hope to see less of him in future...
so coming back to our Peshvas...Rudra is good as Baji, same way Ayan is perfect as Chima...so next episode the battle btw Baji and Nizam, and Balaji Vishwanath's journey towards becoming The Peshva...
