Agreed with the rest of your points

Happy mother's Day dear to you and to your mother. 🤗

This is my first mother's Day although no gift from my son😭

Thanks for the good words and greetings.⭐️

Your son's presence itself is a gift to you dear.🤗❤️ Even if he gives something, is it more precious than the smile on your face whenever you recollect his cute face?🤗

Thanks for the good words and greetings.⭐️

That's true dear. He is about to be one in a few days and his smile and love for me it's more than enough

Drona's death - I was prepared for it, yet it still managed to unsettle me. The lie and the way Drona was killed always make me uncomfortable. Although I am the farthest from a Drona fan.😔

Even though Dushasan deserved to die, I always flinch when his death is actually shown. Even knowing it's gory details, it's a little hard to watch.😳

Duryodhana finally getting personally affected. Puneet Issar was really good in that scene where he proclaimed Dushasan as the definition of his Rashtra

Karna and Arjuna's battle - God, it was intense.👏

I am sure the part where Karna stops his attack on Arjuna due to sunset is not in the authentic texts, but the scene entertained this Karna fan.😆

The three deaths that disturb me the most are Abhimanyu, Drona and Vrihsena. The first and last for the barbarism they exhibited while killing and the second because of the way he was stopped. He might have died thousands of deaths before actually dying.

Drona is one of the few most innocent characters. He was wronged by his best friend. He could have got Drupad killed when Pandavas defeated him, but instead he returned him half of his territory to become eligible for his friendship. Despite being sure that Dhristdhyumn is aiming to kill him, he became his tutor. He always treated Draupadi with fatherly love (excluding Dyut Sabha when actually no one could have done much)

The only silver lining about his death to me is that he killed Drupad before dying and Drupad wasn't able to get the feel of overpowering Drona.

That Kunti Karna scene , though made up, was so sweet 😳

Parshurama telling Karna that it is better for him to die than win which is absolutely true. He would not have got anything even if he had survived the war. The death gave him glory

Poor Dury though. He was right in asking Karna why he let Arjuna go.

Poor Bhisma. He had to see all of his grandsons deaths.😔

Arjuna-Nakula scene was sweet too😳

Arjuna sort of praising Karna and Karna asking Kunti to keep the long life blessings for his "younger brother" Arjun made this Kaju fan happy😃😆

Karna sparing Nakul and Yudhisthir 🤔 well a promise is a promise I guess.

The final battle between Arjuna and Karna was spectacular

And then finally Karna's death.💔🥺

Very good episode 👍🏼

Acha I just noticed, why did Abhi call Shakuni Mama sri, shouldn't he be Dada sri for him?

Obviously..

But then that is hereditary. Remember as a kid Arjun used to call Bheeshm as TatSri instead of calling him Pitamah

My son will turn 4 in Aug.. 😳

People I am slightly confused did Karna actually defeat Yudhishtir and Nakul or is this a distortion?

I thought he had only defeated Bheem among the Pandavas on day 14 when he spared his life rest all the Pandavas including Nakul and Sahdev had defeated him decisively although didn't get a chance to kill him

If he had actually defeated Yudhishtir (I don't think he did), then instead of leaving him at least he should have tried to arrest him. He had promised Kunti the lives of her five sons not their non arrest. Or did he think that once arrested, Duryodhan will kill Yudhishtir! Didn't he have even a slight trust on his best friend that he would spare the life of Yudhishtir on Karna's request especially when the latter is giving the win to Duryodhan?
