Probably all waiting in line with garlands for Puru before he sets out. They will take half an episode to show that. Though the elephants cannot speak, and thus take up more time, they will make up for that in sheer numbers.

Or perhaps the budget has run out and we are going to have no elephants.

Look, it is clear that this is NOT the battle of the Hydaspes, but if it was, no one would be happier than I, to be finally rid of all this nonsense. I have never understood what you mean by saying that the CVs protect the character of Alexander. I see it daily dragged deeper and deeper into the mud. I have had ENOUGH of this.

Aunty, what makes you think it's not the final battle yet? Is it the episode count?

I also don't see that there is much left for them to show other than the final battle itself, so they shouldn't drag this more than 2-3 weeks. But we said that in June and look the show's still going! 😆

Everyone from the cast has been posting stuffs like "Now its time"..makes me really think that this is it! Probably Alexander would return PR to Puru when he comes to know he saved his mother's life! Alexander would leave Bharat praising Porus while Porus would complete his vow of ousting Alexander completely from Bharat. Good can't respect evil Alexander thus no mutual respect but goodness truimphing over ill-mindset of Alexander while reforming his 'soch'.

See, no one even spotted my joke about the elephants, 😭probably because I didn't insert an emoticon, which I did quite deliberately.

No one can save this show or this forum. Both are dead in the water.

Maybe I am wrong, though this seems to be a bizarre build up for a titanic battle. The best solution, Vaishnavi, would be for Alexander to nearly drown, as usual, trying to get across. Porus will fish him out this time, hand him his Mummy dearest, and bid him farewell, probably with the gud in dahi, as they did for Darius

That Alexander won the battle and got as far as the Beas are historical minutiae for which the CVs have no time.

As for the actors, they must all be feeling like boarding school students when the holidays are in sight!

I got it Aunty! Elephants waiting to greet Puru before he leaves! 🤣But the next one is even more hilarious.. Puru fishing out Alexander and bidding him farewell with dahi gud!! 🤣OMG!! I really think Puru being a Dasyu should give Alexander some swimming lessons so that he doesn't always need a life guard on board for himself! 🤣 And actors feeling like boarding school students waiting for vacations! 😆

If they end this show without the actual battle this would be the biggest dhoka of the century.

And if they show Alexander going back just because Porus "saved" his mother, then it's an even bigger dhoka, because Porus is partly the reason for her state. As the king he accepted what Chanakya did. Most importantly, that Chanakya should be asked to leave.

I'm cringing at the thought that Porus will be the one to return Olympias to Alexander.

@Vaishavi, aside from Rohit who else posted about it being time now? They did the same for Alexander going to Bharat and with all the promos we thought it would be the final battle, but look where we are now.

Biggest tragedy ever that Alexander still doesn't get enough screen time and that he is not even a shadow of the same brilliant leader that conquered Faras or who Queen Ada adopted. Rohit himself is looking weary and Aunty you're probably right, they want to just pack up and leave. What a big shame.

Only if Olympias ends up asking him to leave Bharat and he agrees then I would find it acceptable, because as we know he'd do anything for her, especially now that he's experienced the fear of losing her. No other situation would make sense. Oh wait, did I say sense?

Only Mohit apart from Rohit has posted 'time has finally come to face our enemy'..

If this is the final war then it is no less than the Trojan war.. Olympias instead of Helen has been kidnapped and Jhelum maa instead of the wall is protecting them. 😡

You are right! This show is a dhoka to the audiences who wanted to learn about Alexander and Porus.. Alexander the Great hugely admired and respected King Porus for his bravery and therefore had let him retain his kingdom even after he lost.

For this ending, these two had to be shown as two different perspectives who were true to their own code of honour and had the determination to remain undeterred in their respective paths. But Sony Alexander has now deviated from his own principles who also doesn't hold back from mocking Chanakya's religion or killing those traitor Farsis after promising them a safe departure or the newest that a Macedonian stabbed an Indian at the back!

How can they give the show the true ending if they are hell bent on making Alexander a cruel conqueror who just aims for his victory while completely ignoring what all he had preached sometime back.. he is totally a different person now and it is highly contrasting to what he was before.. looks as if his character assassination has only been planned just recently!😡

Don't have any hopes from the show or its storyline as it will only get worse. JUST KEEP CALM AND WATCH ROHIT! 😃😆😆

I bet Alexander will not lose. Thousand times he has been said to be invincible in this show...hell oracle said firmly impossible to defeat him...only external factors will force him to come back...external factors we all know what they were...she could see the future ...

Also I don't think this is battle of hydespass...final war begins means final chapter m sure...relax vaishnavi m sure porus Alex relationship will ultimately calm down... olympias is there for a reason...

The biggest disappointment for me would be no elephants...
