Overall, was a little underwhelmed by this episode.
But, first, what I truly liked was :1. SRJ's expressions. In this episode, they were all very well done.This is the first epi where he appeared totally at ease as Mahadevand all expressions were beautiful.In fact he conveyed so much, without speaking. ⭐️2. Bhandasur - Will miss this actor. Insolence and Arrogance, in that order,came across very well..3. Pooja Sharma looked absolutely beautiful as Ma Lalita Tripurasundariand good performance. With each roop and look, she goes totally into newmode. She makes slight personality changes, which makes her adifferent person. Looking forward to all the various roops she will portray.The reason I was underwhelmed was :1. it looked like a bit of an editing goof up. The first shot ofMa Lalita Tripurasundari, it seemed as though Pooja was justgetting into the character and camera rolled before she wascompletely ready. It sort of detracted a little from the rest -especially since Pooja gave a flawless performance.2. Ganga is shown as powerless. No defence. 😔 At least sheshould be shown trying to protect by getting as far away as possible.Here they showed her moving of her own volition towards Bhandasur,as soon as she spotted him on the banks!!! Why?3. Did not like that line about Maa winning over Bhand, which wasa bit petty.By the way, what exactly do they mean by Bhand here. As far asI know a Bhand is something like a court jester or maybe buffoon.But Bhandasur does not fit that. Are they using the word tomean "eunuch" here? Of course that is what makes sense,but I have never heard this usage before😕 If this is the case,then that line is more offensive. Writer needs to be more sensitive.4. My opinion about the other Gods/Goddesses: I do not want to sayanything about this part -as it is so uncomplimentary it is not worthwriting.
Bhandasur did severe penance to please Shiva. Shiva appeared and Bhandasur requested "Whoever fights against me should immediately lose half of his strength and that strength should be added to my strength. None of the weapons of my opponents should be able to bind me
Lord Brahma, who was witnessing all this, grew frustrated and swore "Bhand "Bhand (meaning shame, shame). From then on, he got the name "Bhanda. Because of his qualities he became an Asura (demon) and entered the domain of Asuras. This is how he got the name Bhandasura'.
This was from Brahmanda Puran Lalitopakhyanam. Till then it looks he did not posess that name
PS: As long as you don't know what is written in Sanskrit original you can enjoy the show. Otherwise like me who can not take whatever Utkarsh Nathani throw on us you also can not enjoy the show.
Still if you are interested read what is the story of our Lalitopakhyanam,read my story in the forum.
Bhandasur and Manmatha are different. Devas try to get Manmatha's life back while Bhandasur tries to prevent them. But our writer had a different story to tell as usual.
God save our Epics.

Thank you. I feel gratified even if one person like you show interest to know the real story. I agree with you. They might not be even bothered why Bhandasur is called so. More so the writer of the show would always like to interpret in his own way though it looks ridiculous.Originally posted by: rsnarula67
@ltelidevara.Hi Lakshmi, Thanks for the info. I did not know this part. I love to read such info.Usually if the stories are from the texts, there are some symbolic and deeper meanings to the stories, which is why knowing them is lovely.=========With reference to TV shows, I have given up on them being faithful to the texts.But now I do not get too worked up about it, as in a way because we are watching the show, we also get to know some parts of texts which we are not aware of, due to persons who have the knowledge- like you, who are on the forum.So a silver lining in a very dark cloud😊=========But from the way the word was being used in the show, it certainly does not look like they were using it to mean "shame". It looks more like they were using it with the Hindi meaning (although even there it is ...)I wonder what the writer meant ... with UN it could be anything😆
I guess not many are happy with these distortions...I wish we could let the cvs know...creative liberty is important but changing the basic storyline is not interestingOriginally posted by: ltelidevara

Like when he made Bhandasur say Mai Sarir Nahi bhasm Hun. He did not even think twice before writing that. Jeeta jaagta asura stands and admits he is not Sarir.how absurd it can be.Ved Vyas clearly mentioned how Bhasmasur came to life only due to Shiv .But Utkarsh Nathani wants to prove his creativity...Anyway...nice to know you who understood my anguish regarding distortions.Lakshmi
