Couldn't they get a better actress for Vrushali too .. I'm so unhappy with her performance.. Aham is a star performer , an absolute stunning when it comes emoting , dialogue delivery n acting . I wonder what this girl will do with him . I'm scared she'll end up ruining the whole scene ..
i must say i was enjoying the acting of everyone from the beginning till kunti entered and the subsequently the level dropped, since then there have been some acting of mediocre type, unoriginal and uninspired amongst the major characters including kunti and minus the odd one or two, like Krishna, and yudhisthira n others who have grown nicely into their role. vrushalis role is comparatively lesser but yet as we all are intrigued with everything Karna, we expect way more from her. direction is partly to blame for the way they are representing these characters in a one dimensional view. also getting annoyed by Karnas representation through his apparent adoration for the pandavs and cynicism of his friends choices when really he was the one egging on Duryodhan, urging for the cause of defeating the pandava through battle and battle alone, any other way equates to cowardice because the true warrior doesnt cower from the chance to act via battle
Adi Parva (Book 1) Section: CCIV Viduragramana parva
'...The sons of Kunti, O thou of firm resolution, cannot now be injured by any subtle contrivances of thine. This is my opinion. As they are aided by the very Fates, and as they are desirous of regaining their ancestral kingdom, we can never succeed in injuring them by any means in our power. It is impossible to create disunion amongst them. They can never be disunited who have all taken to a common wife. Nor can we succeed in estranging Krishna from the Pandavas by any spies of ours. She chose them as her lords when they were in adversity. Will she abandon them now that they are in prosperity? Besides women always like to have many husbands, Krishna hath obtained her wish. She can never be estranged from the Pandavas. The king of Panchala is honest and virtuous; he is not avaricious. Even if we offer him our whole kingdom he will not abandon the Pandavas. Drupada's son also possesseth every accomplishment, and is attached to the Pandavas. Therefore, I do not think that the Pandavas can now be injured by any subtle means in thy power. But, O bull amongst men, this is what is good and advisable for us now, viz., to attack and smite them till they are exterminated. Let this course recommend itself to thee As long as our party is strong and that of the king of the Panchalas is weak, so long strike them without any scruple. O son of Gandhari, as long as their innumerable vehicles and animals, friends, and friendly tribes are not mustered together, continue, O king, to exhibit thy prowess. As long as the king of the Panchalas together with his sons gifted with great prowess, setteth not his heart upon fighting with us, so long, O king, exhibit thy prowess. And, O king, exert thy prowess before he of the Vrishni race (Krishna) cometh with the Yadava host into the city of Drupada, carrying everything before him, to restore the Pandavas to their paternal kingdom. Wealth, every article of enjoyment, kingdom, there is nothing that Krishna may not sacrifice for the sake of the Pandavas. The illustrious Bharata had acquired the whole earth by his prowess alone. Indra hath acquired sovereignty of the three worlds by prowess alone. O king, prowess is always applauded by the Kshatriyas. O bull amongst Kshatriyas, prowess is the cardinal virtue of the brave. Let us, therefore, O monarch, with our large army consisting of four kinds of forces, grind Drupada without loss of time, and bring hither the Pandavas. Indeed, the Pandavas are incapable of being discomfited by any policy of conciliation, of gift, of wealth and bribery, or of disunion. Vanquish them, therefore, by thy prowess. And vanquishing them by thy prowess, rule thou this wide earth. O monarch, I see not any other means by which we may accomplish our end.'
