OS - Being Shakuni (pg 142) Duryodhana's killing (pg 139) - Page 4

😆😆 Thank god finally Hidimba is shown smitten by Bheem.Arjun/Subhadra love scenes were cute but the scenes between Bheem and Hidimba are a crude caricature and again overemphasis on Bheem's gluttony and mandatory lame jokes on his food habits and ensuing forced laughter. Bheem/ Hidimba are blessed with great metabolism to digest all those fruits but I did reach for ENO.

Hey but again beggars cant be choosers.

Today I promised naivadyam to God if Hidimba does not fall in love with Arjun.

Damn.. This serial is not only costly for producers but turning out rather expensive for me..

"That's non-sense. We have so many great, interesting characters.. Arjun's arch enemies like Karna. Arjun's Grandsire and favorite teacher Drona.. and who can forget Arjun's love interests.. enigmatic Draupadi and bubbly Subhadra. So obviously they have their own identity and we have attempted to show it."

"Then why do you have Arjun in every frame of yours ?"
"That's a gross exaggeration. He is hardly given 90% of screen time."
"The remaining 10% screen time belongs to episodes prior to his birth."
"We assure you that everything we show is fully backed up either by profound research or cinematic liberty."

"How do you explain Drupad's intense hatred towards Draupadi ? Vyaasa never mentions any of this."
"I think Vyaasa is highly over-rated. I concede that he was a great sage, poet, historian of his age but except for couple of forced, reluctant indiscretions, he had absolutely no knowledge of women.

My script writer is 5 times divorcee and has a teenage step-daughter from recent marriage. All Drupad-Draupadi track is inspired from his first hand feelings for his step daughter. He is also a woman beater and molester and renowned authority on woman's sufferings. We are confident he will do wonders in Vastraharan scene."

"We heard that you are obsessed with Arjun character and it's affecting your personal life."
"Rubbish."
"You recently painted your brand new grey Hyundai all white, changed expensive sofas with white ones so you can call your car ShwetVahan ?"
"Utter nonsense. I was forced to repaint it to match my driver's uniform. Please get your facts straight."

"You filed a petition to make Arjun award the highest civilian award."
"It's a judicial matter."

"But Sir, you insist that all your staff use "Gaandivdhari.." as a ringtone and greet each other as "Jai Arjun" instead of "Jai Srikrishna. You changed all Yes/No/Cancel buttons in the computer to Arjun/Karna and Bheem. Your clerk was promoted to the Managing Director post simply because he can write with both hands."
"No comments.. It's a strictly confidential,internal office affair."

"Did you not tattoo Virat battle, Khandavprastha scenes all over your body ? I heard you are planning a chest surgery to remove hmmm...and.. Your wife is also seen in public wearing five bindis on forehead, on your insistence."
"I would appreciate if we stick to Mahabharat a.k.a. Arjun's heroics."

"Is it true that you give a preferential treatment to Shaheer ? He is given a presidential suite in Taj while rest 4 actors were asked to share a single room in a lodge."
"Well it was my understanding that Shaheer had a cold so had to give him a separate room."
"But he has no cold..I just talked to him..He has headed for daily swimming exercise"
"As I mentioned, it was my understanding.. Looks like It was wrong.."

"Is it true that you were so smitten by Shaheer's Brihannala look that you offered him a role of Draupadi as well."
"Hmmm, its true.. but producers were concerned that Draupadi will look more like Arjun's lost twin sister and will make their marriage awkward. Great loss for viewers, that's all I can say."

"Why Arjun is seen taking all key decisions ? The rest pandavas are hardly visible."
"Our script writers initially forgot to include Nakul and Sahadev characters. The music composer could come up with only a single hummable background score - Gaandivdhari Arjun. That has forced our hand to use Arjun in all key events so we can play matching music.
But be assured.. the composer has promised to turn up a tune for every Pandav by the Swargarohan episode so each Pandav will fall off the cliff to his own tune."

"Thanks for your time Sir and all the best !!"
"Likewise. I hope I managed to convince that there is absolutely no Arjun-bias. I dont give interviews often but could not resist when I saw your card. Nice name by the way."

mr . Ashok to Arjuna: my honeybunch he insulted me so much won't u do this lil' thing for me ... I promise u 21 minutes of screen space in every episode ...

bg : Gandivadhari Arjuna aa aa aa aa ...

Then why do you have Arjun in every frame of yours ?"
"That's a gross exaggeration. He is hardly given 90% of screen time."🤣
"The remaining 10% screen time belongs to episodes prior to his birth."
"We assure you that everything we show is fully backed up either by profound research or cinematic liberty."
