Another excellent post !
I do believe you said everything I was thinking. The entry of one of our titular characters was the embodiment of herogiri as applied to a historical setup. Dare I say that I found this rock-climber saner and more reasonable than the one of Bahubali? 😆
This boy has a goal which he approaches with methodical calculation, undaunted bravery and most importantly, a very cool and clear mind. This sets him apart right away from the others of his age and time. Paradoxically his motives are the opposite of anything logical and everything emotional. A son's love for his mother. This dichotomy, I hope, is explored further in the show.
Nand gets to put on some clothers (finally) although his mooning over Mura creates the same loathing as his naapit getup. I cant help it. I like my villains smart and powerful. How else am I to enjoy the hero's (or heroine's, for that matter) triumph over an insurmountable force? As they say, ladai takkar ki honi chahiye. 😆
Young Chandra's foster mother lays the stage for her son's emotional stunting. This is a time before Christ...around 325 BC I think...everybody had to work and everybody had an assigned role...be it a kshatriya, brahmin, vaishya or shudra. An unemployed drunkard of a husband would shift the economic control to others of his family while the social control remained in his hands. Young Chandra is still a child and so for him it is logical that his mother abandon her abuser post haste.
I blame the mother for giving him a reason that does more harm than good. Did she think that her excuse of love would go over well on a child yet inexperienced in the battles of the heart? however much she loves her useless husband, I believe what binds her feet are guilt and a screwed sense of accountability towards the man. Guilt for not giving him a child and accountability for introducing a baby not of his blood that probably reminded him of his incompetence everyday. It is a weak love, surviving on her guilt alone.
I am not at all surprised that a logical kid like our young stalwart equated such kind of screwed up love with weakness. He has not seen the other kinds of love that can exist neither has he experienced the strength that lies in the core of a heart's vulnerability.
All in all a good premise for a tumultuous future love story. 😆
Nemesis will find us all in the end. Enough said.
I do not grudge Ekta Mata for her penchant of twisting history for a masaledar track. She is a businesswoman and masala ultimately fills her paycheck. I do begrudge illogical tracks being shoved down my throat like the ghost track in JA. 🥱
As long as she keeps it believable and interesting, I will watch.
