If you happened to read any of my earlier analyses in this forum, you would have seen that I have constantly complained not only about the Alexander segments being, on the average, about one fourth of the Paurav Rashtra and Porus segments, but also about the systematic blackening of Alexander's character. It was only the excellent performance by Rohit Purohit that made up, to some extent, for the lack of footage and the deliberate distortions in his character as shown in the serial.

But now, things are even worse, in that Alexander is being reduced to a lovesick poodle trying to woo his disdainful wife.😡

As for the melodrama, I don't agree that it is something specific to Indian TV. There is plenty of melodrama in Western TV as well - like Dynasty, to take just one example. As for the likes of Game of Thrones, lavishly garnished with nudity, perversions of every possible variety, and extreme violence, I would any day vote even for PR style melodrama!

In the old days, the 1980s and 1990s, Hindi TV had excellent serials with solid stories and capable directors and actors. Now it is so commercialised that good sense has gone out of the window.

But they wanted to make the show on porus. No one will ever make a show on foreign king.
Everyone know about Alex but no one knows about porus. Even I came to know about porus through the show only.
And I find porus part more interesting than Alex part.
Kuch Dino se Alex vla jyada interesting lg RHA ta. But otherwise I like PR part more.

The earlier episodes and representation of Alexander's life, characterization or storyline wise used to be really great though the constant need to blacken the character was always present but nevertheless, in those days, Alexander was really pictured gloriously. The actor essaying his role is an impeccable performer so all the more helpful to make the character shine. If some of us are still stuck here, it's mostly due to the nostalgia of that time or thanks to Rohit's performance. Currently, they have reduced him at the level of a doormat, to serve his detestable and vicious wife, who hasn't showcased any ounce of affection and care for him even when he came out unconscious after diving into Jhelum. The real Roxanne attempted to take on Alexander's life multiple times but that was before their wedding and I would have prefer to see that anytime. Alas, here they opted for the tongue unleashing after marriage and frankly speaking I don't know what pisses me off more. The portrayal done by the actress or the way Roxanne is characterized here.

Initially I liked the story of porus. And now also m liking it. I just didn't liked the faras part, wen porus gang went to faras. That was really stupid.
