First of all what Jakkala did can't be justified, and Mrinal advising Jakkala was on point because Mrinal is the princess of Manyakhet. Hence she is responsible for whatever is happening in her kingdom. For some personal feud of Jakkala she can't be excused for killing innocent women. Mrinal has nothing to do with Malwa vasis. It's the responsibility of Malwa's ruler to protect Malwa from any kind of threats.
I agree. But for the pain Mrinal has gone through, she must think of those innocent people with empathy.
Coming to what Mrinal did with Malwa. It can't be justified either. Because there is a difference between fighting a war keeping in mind the "war rules" against a king n his army n entering someones kingdom in disguise n killing innocent people during a festival in the name of taking revenge. What Mrinal did to many Malwa vasis was exactly equivalent to what Singhdant did to Mrinal's family.
But can mrinal be blamed for this? No ! Because of the circumstances which forced her to adopt such policies.
If u recall the first episode she fights war against the Panchal King with war rules but he tries to deceive her by bringing in African goons. Which makes her kill of the entire panchal army in the night.
Agreed again. But she could have better with Malwa. That's it.
We have seen her softer side with Vilas though the relationship is based on politics but her love towards vilas is genuine. Also she doesn't want power for herself but for her brother, she doesn't even want material happiness for herself. So yeah she is kind of selfless as well. Bottom line is she can't be called negative as she has these positive shades as well
Now I totally agree. She's totally grey and not out to out negative. But not positive. Prithvi is flawed, more towards positive.
Coming to comparing this show with other historical shows or this king Prithvi Vallabh with other kings. There's a huge difference between Alexander, Akbar, Ashoka (the great) and Prithvi Vallabh. The show's basic theme is "There are many kings who have their names inscribed in the pages of history , but there is one such King who is not even mentioned in our history books but his "thinking" is what flows through the veins of Indians or India. That's Prithvi Vallabh.
A king who doesn't fight to expand his kingdom to register his name in the pages of history , who believes in preserving art n culture but when it comes to defense he doesn't take a back seat either n gives back to his enemies.
Wherever it's possible, he tries to avoid wars, but if the other party doesn't listen, he fights with all his might.
Like he decided to give the throne to Sindhu because it's Sindhu's birth right. But if Sindhu fails to be a king, Prithvi will definitely come back...
N yeah it's kind of not wrong as well. India has been invaded by Turks, Afghans, Mughals, Britain, yet it has been able to preserve it's culture, art , music, heritage. So this idea of defense is what runs through India. N thats how the makers have woven the character of Prithvi Vallabh as the forebearer of this ideology n Mrinal as other King's of that era.
I like none of those kings. 🤢 But Mrinal is definitely not like them entirely. She's a lot better. And Prithvi's character is really amazing. 😊
