It really was hilarious to see him as Bheeshma😆
Word on Krishna's narration in that scene....it was very well done. And if you see the whole build up to the scene, you will be even more impressed by Pooja....she did everything very well....Draupadi's poise and pride as Samraagi, the regal posture of a Queen that she tried to hold in the face of humiliation....then her despair and disappointment in her husbands and all the men there.
Her disappointment in all the great men in that hall was done very nicely, that was the most saddening part of Vastraharan, silence from all sides:(
There are really powerful scenes in MB that stand the test of time in repeated viewings, especially if they are well acted and directed. This is ofcourse one of those scenes even as the PH reboots them with slightly different interpretations. In the SP one, Krishna played the role of a narrator.....in the RK one, they just made RK some kind of screaming commentators doing running commentary on the whole scene which kinda was disconnecting.
In SP MB , I really loved the way they shot Gita gyaan scene, the way they shot Virat swaroop was superb. In Vastraharan scene it is mainly acting of Pooja and SRJ that lifted the scene. Where as in RK , it was the screaming and live commentary really dumbed down the impact. It is really one of my pet peeve if people scream to show anger or intensity of situation, it just seems unnatural and ruins everything.
I think many times that a show should be made primarily on Draupadi rather than bringing her in as a secondary character in the course of showing Mahabharat. There is so much that can be shown to her perspective rather than a few epis here and there. The SP MB also messed this up in the long run....all this build up with the Vastraharan and Draupadi's despair and disgust after that....but she again ultimately forgives the spineless Pandavas.....then that makes you wonder what was Krishna's grand lecture for? LOL it gets rendered moot within the next 2 epis because Draupadi as a woman is again expected to swallow injustice and move on for the sake of "peace". In the SP MB, they also showed that even though she accepted all 5 as her husbands, she had a softer corner for Arjun and felt betrayed when he married Subhadra.....but again, within an epi, she moves on from that feeling of "betrayal" also....lol so it just makes you wonder if these are human beings or just going through the motions for the larger purpose of "dharam sthaapna".....it does ring hollow in some bits despite Krishna's grand speeches.😆
Sadly even if they make a show on Draupadi, they would mainly go for preachy, savage woman, and then dumb her down in the name of dharma, kartavya, etc. Because Indian audience cannot accept a woman who has a mind of her own, who doesn’t worship her husband no matter what. She has to be docile, sanskaari, suppressed , kind of underdog and after years of suppression she overnight gets all preachy and fights for her rights. 😆 People can only love Anupama but not Aastha, thats progressive:))
