Both these people were given too much unnecessary footage and prominence.Many have the view that the script is biased towards Puru.But what substantial scenes have they shown for Puru till now?Most of the time he is either into action or bhashanbaazi.The only man with strategies in PR as @inlieu mentioned in her previous post was Shivdutt.90% of this entire series was wasted away on Darius,his faayda,his vyapaar,his dreams to conquer Bharat,his daughter,Shivdutt,his hatred,his conspiracies,his planning-plotting,etc.Bache kuche 10% main se 7% was given away to Puru jisse inn CVs ne sirf meaningless heropanti karwayi.Aur baaki ka 3% daya karke Alex ko de daala.I just want to ask them one thing.Why the hell were they so obsessed with Darius?How the hell is he related to Porus?Darius is a part of Alexander's story.Not Puru's.And Darius along with Barsine should have been a cameo only when Alexander conquered Faras.The amount of importance which Darius and Shivdutt received is unbelievable.Moreover they could kill off a brilliant character like Ripudaman but kept Shivdutt alive till now.For what?? For god's sake,no one is a bit interested in Shivdutt and his nautanki.Just imagine how brilliant this show could have been without the Shivdutt-Darius drama.1.They could have shown more character development for AnuBamni and how their relationship developed.2.They could have devoted some more episodes to the childhood of Puru and Alex where we could have seen the iconic scene of Alex taming Bucephalus.In a parallel of that they could have shown Puru taming a wild elephant thus marking the foreshadowing of his famous elephant corps.The parallel is there since the CVs are so much in love with the Niyati connection between Alex and Puru.3.Love stories could have been shown properly.As @Priya correctly said,these people couldn't do justice to any love story.Be it Puru-Laachi,Alex-Roxane or Anu-Bamni.Puru and Laachi will have a fast forward wedding and AlexAna ka toh we all know.Bechara Bamni bhi parlok sidhaar jayega😭So in short no love story in this show ever got any justice.4.They could have shown some scenes where Puru is learning the art of politics and warfare from his two fathers-Bamni and Ripudaman.@Deepika wrote a beautiful OS on Puru-Bamni-Ripu long ago.Usise kuch seekh lete yeh gadhe CVsParallel to that they could have shown Alexander learning from Leonidas and Aristotle.5 For part time villaingiri they could have shown Kanishk and a bit of the sibling rivalry between him and Puru.Basically the CVs could have divided the screentime 50-50 between Puru and Alex.Chalo 50-50 nahi hota then 60% for Puru coz he is the titular character and 40% for Alex bhi chalta.My point is the show would have been more interesting and the audience would have been satisfied.Now everything they show looks so forced and rushed.They ate up the Battle of Gaugamela and now I am worried for the Battle of Hydaspes.
