Just a quick note, my dear Debastuti - I am clearing my arrears!

Chandra's friends, once they caught on the fact that he had been arrested, would have vamoosed and gone back to alert Chanakya.

But they didn't give us any hint about this. They should have to!🤔

As for the back up plan, one cannot provide, in such secret service missions, for every contingency. The agent is supposed to manage as best he can. What I wrote to Lavanya will do just as well for your query:

Look, kid, you are asking for too much. Chanakya made sure that Malayketu did not escape from the gurukul, make his way to Pataliputra and trip Chandragupta up. How on earth could he have provided for the bizarre decision of Raja Parvatak to personally land up in Pataliputra to apologise to Nand? No self-respecting king would have done that. He looked and sounded more like a chamcha of Nand's than anything else. It was just a bit of very bad luck and it floored poor Chandragupta.

You have not thought the situation thru either. Does Chanakya have an army of tried and trusted spies that he can set to shadow Parvathak on the odd chance of his taking it into his head to go to Pataliputra to tender his son's apologies? And then apparate into Pataliputra before Parvathak gets there to warn Chandragupta? Have a heart, my dear.He must be having only a handful of trusted acolytes, of whom Chandra is the best.

If you had watched the 1990 Chanakya, you would have realised with what infinite patience, effort, and untiring, relentless persuasion Chanakya built his coalition against, first the Macedonians left behind by Alexander, and then against the Indian allies of the Macedonians, beginning with Purushottam (aka Porus) - whose daughter, married to Ambhi of Takshashila, was a devotee of Chanakya's - and finally against Magadha. This narrative is like shorthand already, and here you are, wanting Chanakya to be, not one of the greatest strategic thinkers ever, but a ruddy magician!

I got a clear perception about it Aunty when I read this part. Didn't think this way while watching. Thanks for clearing this part...😳

As for the spirit gum, as Saraswathi Akka has suggested very cleverly, if he had retained Nandini's beard, there would have been plenty of spirit gum on it!

Hmmm!!Maybe! But was he carrying that while attending the sayamvar? 😆 Smart guy! 😉

I just watched the Friday's episode.

I didn't see ur analysis on that episode so I am giving it here.Once u write ur analysis in new topic, I will copy everything from here and paste it there.

Friday's episode was a filler episode.I found it really boring.

There was no need for those Chandra Nandini scenes.The strange part was there were 2 scenes where both of them were looking at each other with anger and hatred yet the background music was romantic one.🤣It's as if the director was telling the viewers,"Dekho Dekho,Chandra Nandini ek doosre ko ghoor rahe hain.😉Time for drooling!Chalo shuru ho jao."🤪🤣I found that scenes and background music really odd.🤣

Nandini is supposed to be a trained fighter but all she does to defend herself was Biting.🤣When Chandra stopped near the palace gate, I was thinking she will hit him so hard with her elbow that he will fall from the horse and the soldiers will capture him again. She had got enough time to do that.

Frankly speaking,there was no need for those scenes.

Avantika and Moora told the same things to Padmanand about karma and how his daughter is kidnapped by someone because he kidnapped many women like that.Those scenes and dialogues were repetitive. The only difference was Avantika said all these in pain,worry and anger whereas Moora was laughing and making fun and adding salt to the wounds while saying all these.After so many years,Moora was so happy.

Why was Chanakya pretending that he has nothing to do with Chandra going to Patliputra in front of Malayketu?I didn't like him slapping Chandra unnecessarily.

I feel the reason why in future Nandini will be more close to Chandra and understand him more than even Chanakya is because she will treat him like a human and not a puppet or machine unlike Chanakya.In future,Chandra can openly express himself only in front of Nandini and not Chanakya for whom he has feelings of only respect and nothing else.Chandra-Chanakya relationship is more formal.There are many Gurus who love,care and respect their pupils but I think Chanakya of this show is not like that.He is keeping Chandra only because he has that ability and ambition to dethrone Padmanand, become emperor and fulfill ABN mission.

Hola, Shyamala aunty.

It's good to be back. The first part of my wisdom teeth removal surgery went succesful. Still with a little pain in my mouth but I've taken enough rest and following the doctor's instructions.
Now, coming to the episode, my takes are on brown.
