Hi Deboleena, I read your post in the WU of yesterdays epi, but thought I will post here. Agree with you re the total rewriting of the story
But, DKDM right from the beginning never actually followed the known stories - even the first Sati track was 70pct fictionalised, but it was so beautifully done that I love watching it again and again. 😛 Until they stepped into Treta Yug, they were at the top of the game in all departments - maybe because the PH had only one show on air until about then. 😒
Personally I have given up actually expecting them to follow the actual stories - they just use it as a base and go their own way. My only consistent grouse has always been with the protrayal of Adi Shakti. 😭 Lekin phir bhi, hum sab toh DKDM addict hain, I think. Kuch bhi ho, chhod nahi sakte😊 Even with all my complaints, I have to admit it is far better than even the glitzy mb on star
I admire good casting. And the casting of Kratika Sengar as Mansa was a master-stroke, which I think really lifted up the track and the track has a good pace.
Good casting is half the battle won.
