This is my first proper comment on this show, so decided to begin the way this show has. Very quickly a word of thanks to Sbagun, Shruti, Manasi, and my very dear Tai saheb for propagating this show, and drawing my attention towards it.
I am yet to watch today's episode, and my understanding of Marathi history after Shivaji Maharaj, doesn't go beyond Abhay's posts! So here's just a list of the things I have liked about this show so far...
1. The actors... All the actors introduced so far have fulfilled their needs effectively and with remarkable precision - be it Shivaji or Balaji Vishwanath, long roles or comparatively brief cameos - there's a realistic streak in their acting! Manish Wadha has always been my favourite since Chandragupta Maurya days, and he proves his worth here - wit, shrewdness, grief and joy, every nuance of his steals the show, Anuja as his wife and mother of a future warrior show conviction and strength!
2. Though some forms of VFX cannot be totally avoided, the fight sequences so far were absolute treat.
3. The Mughals and Marathi - the stark contrast in the two cultures, conflicting ideologies and politics, dress, food and language - the depictions are impressive! The young Baji is as convincing as the vile Nasir! The accent of the actors - old and young are flawless and amazing! Kudos tk the, team 👏
4. Dialogues so far are extremely well penned and strong, one can just go on and on listening to them! Jo hathhi nahi, woh Marathi nahi... happens to be the tagline, and very assertive of what's to come in the garb of an apparently simple Marathi Bramhin lad. Some more of my favourites happen to be, aankhon mein kajal sajaye na sajaye, sapne zaroor sajayenge... and bacche patang hai toh, aayi uski dor... from Balaji Bhatt.
5. The background scores of Balaji and Aurangzeb, and the Har har mahadev chant goes well with the characters. And even myself, like most other Banjaras was thrilled at the sight of Aurangzeb 😉
6. The show has so far etched Balaji, Baji and the rest as very strong characters but not superheroes - Balaji, however able warrior he may be fumbles with the stirrups and reins of a horse for the first, seems like though a skilled sipahi he hasn't been much on the war front, me thinks🤔. Though Baji's leap in the air was an insult to the gravitation forces, young Rudra soni's agility is something to look out for ⭐️
7. Of course, I haven't watched Pallavi Joshi before, she's stunning as the kuch ke liye achha, kuch ke liye bura, par sab ke liye ek misaal... Tara rani saheb, and so is Dhanaji Jadhav as her trusted aide!
Waiting for upcoming twists, and thanking Tai saheb once again...
Adwitiya😉
