But if we go by this show then wouldn't Porus' sister (if he has one) and Ambhik be cousins since their parents are siblings?

Was marriage between cousins permitted in that era?

^Yeah, correct. Guys let's not get troubled over cultures much cause it's anyways difficult to portray the scenes of Paurav rashtra as very minimal information is available about them.

Darius is the king of Persian empire so I believe there's a mix in cultures shown. And he speaks with a bit of Islamic tone inspite of being a Farsi.😆

That exactly is my problem. Zoroastrians never had veils for their women and they didn't believe in the day of judgement so why making him a Muslim (and I am ok to ignore the language as probably they are trying to show a foreigner so using Urdu)

I wouldn't be surprised if after the war with Dairius, Porus asks the soldiers to be burried to show honour and that would be a blunder sibce Zoroastrians don't burry the bodies

So here are my views on the 1^st episode finally

It started off with a beautiful voiceover that many recognized as Pooja Sharma's. The way she spoke about this battle was a mixture of sadness and pride perfectly portrayed by her tone. I enjoyed it and looks like in tomorrow's episode she will give a voiceover for Olympias too.

Rati's entry and acting was fab as expected. Ambhiraj is my purana Sujal from Kahin toh Hoga and I have always adored him. However he suits romantic roles more, this rough and tough warrior King type roles ke liye he's too subtle that's what I feel.

Coming to the dance sequences, I don't enjoy them as much as you guys do so it was cut short uske upar I have no complaints. But yes the set and area was beautifully made.⭐️

Shivdutt's role is of an aggressive and frustrated eunuch royal who couldn't become King but on the contrary he had tears in his eyes when he thought his brother was eaten up by a croc was something worth applauding.👏

Guys I know Aditya is a fav of many here but as a King he failed to impress me. I have watched him in Laado season 1 but this role requires a person to be assertive which I didn't see with him although I am hoping he improves.😳

Coming to Praneet and his sidekick. Ohh man the entry scene of Darius gave me goosebumps,😲 and his dialogues are both well written and well said. 10/10 from me for this guy, I have always been a fan of his unique acting and way of delivering a dialogue. That has not changed since MB to Razia Sultan days. His sidekick has a good accent.😆

The fight sequence, the VFX , sets everything was great. My prime highlight was Anusuya yelling a NO to Bamini and as clich as it sounds, he heard, he looked at her, he fell in love and stopped. I LOVED IT, I LOVED IT👏

Overall first episode mein hii itna hila diya, I am so looking forward to more. Sidd Tewary did an amazing job. I really hope it remains this way kyunki Swastik ki purani pratha hai, starting looks all gold gold, uske baad they don't care about. He did this with Razia Sultan but not MB. But he has spent so much on this project calling it his dream project' I hope he keeps this level up.⭐️

The precap has made my eyes pop out when it comes to Sameksha. 😲😲Honestly I didn't expect this level of good acting from her. Her promos made me laugh. Mujhe tumhari aulaad chahiye Zeus, tumhari aulaad' Woaaah ! What a dialogue delivery was that ! I cant wait for today's episode to see the Greek intro.😳

And regarding Anusuya, I am confused as to what kind of revenge she wants and from whom and why or is this all a plot against Darius ? Lets wait n watch tonight yo⭐️

Porus fought Darius??😲I never heard about it

I had only read about Alexander defeating Darius and marrying his daughter afterwards.
