After so many days watched PV on TV today. The two things I liked the most in the episode was first the human feelings of Prithvi towards Mrinal. His anger for her and his dialogue with hatred you get back only hatred, then the way he painted and he realizing once again the pain in those eyes and telling the answer to hatred cannot be hatred but love.
Singadut has put Prithvi in a difficult position. He wants him end the enemity of Malwa and Manyakhet and is willing to sacrifice himself.But he doesnt understand neither his wife nor Sindhu likes that idea. And his insistence is going to create trouble for Prithvi only. As Prithvi is torn between the vachan to his father as well as the protection to his father and Malwa against a hurricane called Mrinal who just wants to destroy it.His love is not understood and as expected Mahakai manipulates Sindhu to get the throne once again.
But the most important aspect is Mahakai fails with Bhoj. Once again this boy interested me. He is not easily influenced. He has independant thoughts. He looks around, listens and makes his own opinions. On one hand he told the praja before questioning the king they have to know rajadharm and parampara. Exactly. True praja can question king, but do they know what it means to be a king. Do they know what all a king has to understand, deal with and take decision. Yes many women became widows and children became orphans, but if the war continued many more will suffer the same fate. It's the responsiblity of the king to try to bring lasting peace which might be a long journey.Again traditions. Culture and tradition of kingdoms vary and a king has to ensure he practices the same. His decisions has to be the fine balance of all this. To understand his decision you need to know on what basis he takes the decision just throwing egg and tomatoes based on your perception is not right.
If Bhoj defended Prithvi in public, in private he told him he is not happy with the things. He had felt everything happens as per rule. But that was not the case. I felt Bhoj understood the under currents of his fathers and Mahakai's thought process and it affected him. When Bhoj said he wanted to go back to gurukul in him I found a confused youngster in the cross roads of being a teenager and man. But I do see a bright future for him as he has a very understanding and emphatheic mother in Savithri.
If Prithvi's biggest advantage is the future of Malwa believes in him, but is one step ahead of him in the thought process of setting up an ideal kingdom, whereas the revenge of Mrinal is putting the present of Manyakhet in fire.
The scene where Kosha looks at Jakkala from behind Tailap was something.Jakkala was the queen, but the power was with Kosha, the power which she has no intention of letting go. Actually that scene reminded me of Saanjh hanging on to Arjun's arms with an arrogant smile in front of Maya. Kosha doesnt smile arrogantly but her eyes do have a sense of victory over Jakkala.
