I am late to this kind of happening day ka Gupshup ...But here is My Rant ratta:
Kabhi kabhi nahin lagta, this forum & rest of the fandom is managing this show ka tracks better than makers+ media +even actors?
Good job Prema catching them!
Ek toh, they bank on our cultural heritage - they call it 'myth' (try calling this to any other cultural heritage & face the horror) then they mix up on even the basics! Not done! Some self-respect & respect for our heritage dear actors & makers!
I am all for Ramleela, it is an integral part of Dushera festivities. Though again makers forget they have placed their show in Somnath- Gujarat.
Before Dashera, is Navratri! One of the MOST celebrated festivals of Gujarat! 9 days long. Each day is alive 24x7 with amazing energy throughout the state.
They better not skip that!
To be honest- yesterday's absolutely random shiny dance party & repeat chandelier drop on Bhabhi with completely tharki Reaction of Gaumbi were easily avoidable! They could have straight-started Navratri.
Coming to Dashera & Ramleela- In Gujarat- Dashera is usually start morning with Fafda-marcha & jalebi + evening city maidan ravan dahan + nightly Ramkatha start by some famous Gujarati kathakars- one is Moraribapu. These ramkathas with small ramleela scenes by locals go on till Diwali.
Hinterland- like kathiwad, Saurashtra, kutchch, smaller towns- these nighly katha -Varta are very much part of basic culture!
Ramleela they play out small scenes in between.
Not sure how PS makers will tackle this, but DO hope they don't make more mess!
ShiVi needs positive progress now, too much negativity has been played out already. Hope their mu get straightened out in Navratri & the next steps start.
Goily-Gaura combo tamasha is going to be too much to digest, though looks like that's what they are going to dish out!
edit:
this is offtrack- but contextual.
Somnath's history has a special place in Gujarat's history. It is one of the 12 Shivaji Jyotirlings. Temple & town was a grand temple & teerth in its original form. History tells you stories of how it was plundered by invaders, many times. How locals faught. How it was rebuilt post-independence with the efforts of Sardar Patel. How then Recently after 3 years of work, the current government has completely transformed the place. the Scene we see in the episode- is the current version post revitalization updates.
Historical plunder- part of Gazawa-e- hind was a prominent war unleashed from parts of gazanwi areas- current Afghanistan. And - just a couple of days backTaliban tweeted about it- from the site of gazani's claiming him hero who looted Somnath.
this is history-not myth. and it is still relevant!
