ME - Absolutely not a ME ... Mismatching every other thing. I want to take a hammer to the writer.
I don't want to grumble about the track (as it will possibly take a long scream), so I will instead write my op on the performances - as there were some good ones in the ME :
Mahadev - Since long MR has been looking jaded (sometimes even ill !!); but yesterday that one scene where he has that look of a proud and pleased Papa - was really good. It was so real.⭐️
Parvati3 - Unfortunately, I find that she seemed more like an invested spectator than a mother, that proud Mama look was not there, except maybe very fleetingly and then she snapped out of it ... Someone said compassionate - but ... I did not find that anywhere, although I was looking for it.
This actress is unable to get into the skin of the character. Many actors need to be convinced of each scene to actually perform well. The so called "thinking actor" syndrome! At least I hope that's the reason her performance as Parvati is so below par. Although in my opinion it is an actors job to give their all to the role, whether personally convinced or not
Ganesha - The actor is no doubt very good - I mean with prosthetics covering his face, he still manages to convey so much with his eyes and voice. ⭐️
Indra - This actor is really good. You can actually see his thoughts on his face, the change. Its beautiful to watch him⭐️
Nandi - Kumar Hegde, I absolutely respect this actor. He without any dialouge, just expressions in face and eyes - really gets across the feelings of Nandi.⭐️
Lohithang - MR kya ho gaya hain aapko!!!😭 😭

Yeah, Dhumavathi means ' smokey one' which is indirectly a widow in puranas. And that mantra would suit only her roop in Dhumavathi, as the words mean ugly, unsteady, dark, impure and angry!! In Durga swaroop, they just used the mantra and killed my swami or made parvati swallow my swami again and made her what she is not!!

Why on earth did they commit such a grave mistake !.. as much as I loved that song , I did not expect this to happen....we all have come to accept the fact that DKDM ends its tracks with no logic & ruins the legends ( they always did without any exception whatsoever).. BUT THIS ?!.. Dhumavati's mantra is not a matter of joke, it has to be taken seriously, there is a time and place for everything.. may be the makers were going for a "grand effect" since everybody loved that song when it was played during "Dhumavati track", if that be the case, they have clearly lost their marbles !..🤢

@rsnarula.. Parvati compassionate.. well yes atleast when Bhanda was dying she did not have sullen indifferent face like the one i saw wen Jalandhar died.. so compassionate in tht reference.. yes..
MR.. the PH ppl have sucked the breath out of him.. the role of Shiva has now got nothing to perform.. and with UN chipping in.. it is more like "Shiv Shakti ke SAATH bhi Shav hi lagte hain.." if the story has no life then hw can actors bring tht charm??

as far as Lohitaang is concerned..well we both share the grief.. but still there were moments aftr Shiv's arrival.. wen he realises the shadow nd the statue man to be mahadev.. his astonishment is clearly visible.. and his frightened expressions wen (by the Grce of Shri Utkarsh Naithani) Mahadev opens his 3rd eye

UN.. he has been a perpetual sore fr DKDM since Arunasur.. No one in their right minds wud have called him back to the show again (this explains a lot i suppose)

@Quixie well PH thinks tht Sanskrit hai toh audience can be fooled easily..however "Vidhva" was very much audible..and Parvati was very much suhagan at tht time

Re compassionate : Well truthfully that is one emotion that none of the female leads, Sati or the three Parvati's have got right. Whereas, MR has that down to an art form (is my bias showing...😉) Surprising really, as you would think that the females should be able to go there better ... okay that's my feminine bias clearly showing😆
Here's a thought maybe Parvati3 was totally befuddled due to the incorrect shlok😆 ...
Lohithang - yes agree with you that he got those expressions right, but the thing is that the overwhelming feeling I get is that MR is not even 1/4th there😭 and I want him to be all there. Again I am sure I am biased, but I really expect MR to be the show stopper in any episode - but the other actors are way ahead ... Yeah Yeah, I know its good that at least some of the supporting actors are doing a great job, but I want MR to be head and shoulders above the rest ... and instead he is below par, so😭 and thanks for sharing my grief
UN😡 - I better not comment, my thoughts here are getting more and more unprintable ...

fr the compassion thing..! P3 was better than her predecessor.. the most compassionate face as of now is Mahadev Prithvi Devi and Lakshmi.. (Mahadev has even beaten the females in cradling a baby.. so cute Mahadev and Baby scenes are..)

well i remember wen MR entered a Jalandhar he hit the right cords from his first scene.. whereas as Lohitang MR seems so woe begone.. so tired as if the character is not providing him enough floor to perform.. since MR has given class performance overshadowing almost evryone in the frame (unless it is MR and MR😳😳) so naturally the expectations rise.. but still a crazy fan tht I am when I get to Lohitaang give subtle expressions then i forget all my complains.. (me a hopeless case😃😃😃)

the problem is tht MR as Mahadev is stunning.. bt as Lohitaang he seems tired..

now i strongly feel tht UN has a strong lethargic aura that affects everyone

The main difference in writing style among UN & other writers of DKDM is, others were telling a story without being preachy. A lot was left for the viewers to understand & interprete. That made DKDM an exceptional show, viewers loved it.
UN doesn't tell a story, he loves to preach. That's why Mahadev & Ganesh are shown lecturing, which gets boring. He starts & does miserable job, ruining excellent stories, thinking people are compeletely unaware of them.
Ganesh tell Bhandasur, now you leave Kameshwarastra. At that time viewers know what astra it was. For Ambika, it is actually Lalitambika, the actual name is not mentioned, why? Forget it...
Everything has a remarkable effect when it's attempted for the 1st time. MR's double role left impact because of his good performance during Jalandhar's time. Now it's boring.
It's disappointing to see what DKDM was earlier & what it is now.

in a very reent interaction of mine with UN, i raised the same issue of long lectures and boring commentries and he gave me a reason tht in the research conducted by the team the audience want stuffs like Navjot Siddhu type commentries and lectures (although i wondered tht why this reserch never increased viwership of the show)

well watever b the case, excellent dissection of UN's problem DT sahiba.. DKDM was one show that turned many into thinking audience now with UN's forced spoon feeding writing style the show is about to go to drains in its last track
