Hola guys!! Everything said and done I will maintain my stand that the story is the hero in any show and if it's not done properly then it can become the villain as well.
The writer have given us several enjoyable scenes in this show prior to the current phase.I really hope that they get back on track soon.I do not deny that Porus is indeed far better than the usual saas bahu dramas on TV.
Speaking of history then almost every historical show on the planet is a historical fiction which has more of fiction than history.But fiction when presented in a proper way can do wonders.For Prithviraj Chauhan,it's golden phase was it's pre leap phase when PRC was a kid and when Rajat Tokas and Mugdha Chapekar were the leads.95% of that entire phase was fictional yet it was during that phase that the show became a hit thanks to the presentation and acting.
Compared to that post leap when they showed actual historical stuff like Sanyogita's swayamvar,Mohd Ghori,etc was a huge borefeast.It was because the leads who replaced RT and MC were massive disappointments.Therefore it's not always history which would impress the audience.
As far as Alexander's importance to the story is concerned then then the first look of the show and the promos were enough to state what Alexander means for the story.He and Puru were always tied together by the CVs for a reason.
Since the show is from Puru's perspective,it was obvious that Alexander who is his mortal enemy would have darker shade coz for Puru he is a villain.
It was the same case with the American show Reign which was based on the life of Mary,Queen of Scots.Queen Elizabeth I was presented as Mary's archrival and she too was shown to be negative to an extent.Though even in that series we were given a glimpse into Elizabeth's feelings.
The problem here is how they dumbed down Alexander and over blackwashed him.Hadh se zyada kuch bhi accha nahi hota.
And I don't think that this entire Faras Yatra and Gladiator track glorified Puru in any way.This track proved to be detrimental for both Puru and Alexander.
Ultimately I am not asking to show Alexander's story in detail coz yes this is a show on Porus.But atleast show what is necessary and try to do justice to the characters.The recent tracks have discredited both the central characters IMO.
I would like to consider that this is a badly written track.I hope the writers do improvise and revive it.
Coz these people had done well initially and if they want then they can do better.
Atlast I would say that show dekho if it makes you happy or entertains you.Treat it like any other show.Do not let it affect your mind in any manner😆
