I thought strike meant less production. But, here, it seems to be in abundance with a lot of creativity. 😆😆😆

Ha ha ha I like that................
I just watched today's episode. And as Vibs pointed out, after all that drama of getting things ready and even telling the musicians that "Kalaavati is Ram's favourite raaga", Kaikeyee has her doors closed? She wanted the musicians to sing Kalaavati but she herself sang a "Mukhaari" raaga.
And then this episode was centered on Kaikeyee fully.
Why did Mandavi, Urmila, Shrutkirti not come with RBLS & Sita to worship Lord Shiva?
Also I felt too much imp. is being given to Hanuman. As per Valmiki, Hanuman, Jambavan, Vegadarshi & Rishaba bring water from 500 rivers in all directions, Sushen brings water from eastern sea, Rishaba(dont know if its the same as the one who brings water from rivers) from southern sea, Gavaya from western and Nal from northern sea. Not to hurt anyone but then there are various instances that are wrongly portrayed in this serial.

I too wondered why the other wives were not there but didn't want to criticize much.
And yes many went across the land to bring the water from the seas and rivers of note.

A nice episode today. The emotions of the scenes were brought out very well. Excellent acting by all. Shathrugan looked really mature - it was realistically shown - after the 14 years, the youngest son was more mature than he had been. He too had his share of work and experience.

I am confused with one thing though - are they trying to show Kaikeyi as good or bad?
Did Kaikeyi knowingly send Ram to the forest? And did she knowingly let Sita be kidnapped by Ravan? After knowing that fact did Sita go and hug her in appreciation? 😕
And after waiting so eagerly for Ram, did Kaikeyi send off the maids and musicians so soon. And why did Ram had to open the door to her chambers? Shouldn't it have been open till Ram came to see her? I thought it would have been better if Ram did not have to face a closed door to mother Kaikeyi's chamber.
I wish there would be more scenes between the family members. I had hoped Ram, Sita and Lakshman spending time with each and every one of his family members and some time with Gurudev Vashishta and Gurumata Arundati and spending some time with Sumantra and all would be shown.
Anyway, this serial is evolving into a new version of Ramayan. I had always appreciated all the efforts and hard work put into it and looked upon the serial as a new work of art. Though my views may have been different from the scenes shown in the episodes, it is nevertheless good to watch the serial at all times.

Good analysis👏

This will perplex any viewer.
Closing doors knowing that somebody is sure to come is disregard. Kaikeyi isn't sure that Ram will visit her( in this serial) but even then doors shouldn't have been closed What should we call it ?? Bad direction?!
Kaikeyi instructing musicians and maids might have been shown as a passing thoughts , for us viewers to visualize (?)

Adhyatma Ramayana says that Kaikeyi was good . The provocation of the QueenKaikeyi by Manthara was not an evil act of her choice as presented in the Valmiki's version Ramayana, but mastered by the goddess Saraswati... may be the serial wants to show on these lines and have supported with a different story shown today.
Agree Shatrughna has grown as an actor😊 , looked quite matured, in fact it is he who is responsible for prosperity of Ayodhya when Rama was in exile and Bharat went to Nandigram.

So, these stories of Kaikeyi being good is from Adhyatama Ramayan. I have never read it but was planning to do so very soon. Now I am eagerly wating for a chance to get the translation of that book in my hands.
Thanks ananyacool for the inforamation. Would soon read another version of the Ramayan - just thinking about it makes me so ecstatic. 😍😍😍

Maybe time constraint is playing a part, if they show all these things, the serial will be again accused of being a drag
Remember, the vanvas episode was fast forwarded but they dragged in between and then again they showed many incidents about Ravan ,just before Ram-Ravan yudh which viewers felt a lil drag so then ........ We should only hope that , even if certain things are not shown , its Ok but they shouldn't be bloopers any more.

Btw, after seeing the precap to tomm. episode, I was wondering if the Rajyabhishek will happen tomm....

With Ram visiting Manthara, and now that Hanuman is going to fly to bring water from all sides, I feel they may drag the episode will these incidents, adding to it a couple of family scenes between the others.

So probably Rajyabhishek is set for Monday then................. (I can hear some of you already cursing me for saying this😉)

Sorry just my view...........
