And so it begins. Tune in to page 3.

Anyway coming to the episode,it was certainly a delight to watch.

The storyline,the execution and the VFX was brilliant.👏👏And the actors did a mindblowing job as well.

Detailed review will be after the episode airs.

But your points are valid ones. The execution is awesome. Hope it continues.

So finally the day for which we all were waiting with bated breath arrived.Aarambh which is a magnum opus in every sense came on our screens.

The most important factor about any series is its story.A story is the founding stone of any movie or series.Without a proper story a series is nothing.Usually in daily soaps it's the story which is ignored which is an extremely sad fact.But in this matter Aarambh stands apart.Because the USP of this show is its story.Its the story which is the actual hero.The fact that the show was promoted as 'From the writer of Bahubali' proves this.

The story of Aarambh is about two clans or to be more precise two ideologies which are as different as chalk and cheese.They differ from each other on all accounts.Be it lifestyle,customs or thought processes.These two have nothing in common.A clash between these two is inevitable.And it's the law of nature that a clash often leads to the creation of something new.For example,hydrogen and oxygen combine in order to form water which has different properties from its parent elements.The Tudor dynasty was born from the War of Roses between the Houses Lancaster and York.

On one hand we have the Aryans who are a group of men united for a single cause.They are used to the rough terrains and the harshness of life.They crave for water to quench their prolonged thirst.They also wish to find a place which they can call home.And they believe that their promised land lies beyond the Sapt Sindhu.A point to be noted is that these men are not barbarians.They live by a code of honour.Yet they seek domination over a land which has been occupied by other people for a long period of time.On what basis do they lay claim on the land of the Dravidians??

Now on the other hand we have the land beyond the Sapt Sindhu which is home to another race known as the Dravidians.They are blessed with prosperity and happiness.The position of highest authority is held by a woman.Women are revered and worshipped.Their Queen is their mother and guardian.I would like to consider this an example of the belief that prosperity dwells where women are respected.However it has its share of imperfections too in the form of internal strife and politics which threatens their unity.

Then we are introduced to these two individuals named Devsena and Varundev.The values and beliefs of their respective clans are firmly inculcated in these two.It can also be said that these two represent their respective ideologies or they are the Aryan-Dravidian ideologies personnified.Devsena is free spirited.She is not bound by any constraints.She is destined for a great responsibility for she has to lead her people one day.She is a like a river whose flow cannot be stopped.A river symbolises nourishment.Civilisations are built on the bank of rivers.But if the flow of a river is disrupted then it leads to flood.The same logic applies with Devsena.
Then there is Varundev.He is firmly devoted to his clan and cause.He also seeks to restore his father's honour.He is righteous in own manner and lives to uphold the Aryan tradition.He has integrity,dedication and firmness.Just like an ocean.
Strangely enough a river ultimately meets the ocean.

Devsena and Varundev are two people entangled in the great universal game of clash.These two are the chief pawns on the board in which the players are the two contrasting ideologies.

All the actors delivered a power packed performance.The stars of the episode were undoubtedly Rajniesh and Karthika.
Following them are Tej Sapru and Tanuja Mam.Special mention goes to Tarun Khanna who shone in his brief appearance.How I wish that his character was around for more time.
Looking forward to the next episode!!

I actually find Devsena's society great!!!!😊 😊 😊 😊

And Devsena is a fantastic queen, brave, strong and humble!!!!👏 👏 👏 👏

Sadly Dravidians will decline!!!!

I am already not liking the ending!!!!

Frankly even I can't see the Dravidians declining and matriarchy getting replaced by patriarchy.

I don't wanna think about the ending now.

But I understand the Dravidians' cause.They are not at fault here.It's one thing if the Aryans want a place to settle down.But they wish to overthrow the Dravidians and take over their home which I find unacceptable.By what right do they claim their authority over a land on which the Dravidians already reside??

When they can't justify by logic, they put it on the gods!!!!

Same thing the Aryans are doing!!!!

@chandrima02: Very nicely written.

Karthikeya's wife was devayani and she was the daughter of Indradev.

As I mentioned in another thread, I hope to see Madurai Meenakshi story shades.
