But jaldev has been sent by the Aryans to kill Devsena...I mean he has come into an enemy's camp without a definite plan 😕
How does he plan to do it...I think he himself isn't sure...but then why was he sent like this...no homework before entering a place where supposedly everyone is his enemy and he can lose his life anytime 😕

Agree...something was amiss...however I liked that there were some fun moments, since the whole story is pretty grim.

What I felt about the scene when Jaldev Sees Devsena is that he was awestruck with her beauty when seeing her in flesh and blood. Plus the realization that she is the one he has to kill. A conflict of mind over heart is going on, there wont be much of reminiscing into a past, he too does not remember but just comes back to him in flashes.

So that bit was ok for me.

I am a bit confused as to why Devsena said yes to the marriage with her opponent. Does she know he is one of her enemies?

First of all your reply deserves a round of 👏.  I knew that there were writers in this forum who would bring a different perspective to things and that is what makes discussion fun that it is non linear.

Thank you so much for appreciating my comment. 😳

Yes , that's why I love this forum , it's immensely enjoyable to read and discuss different POVs and analyses 😃 Yes , we don't have a big crowd but we do have great members with great outputs ! ⭐️👏

I agree with you that the strategy of story telling has changed and maybe that was what threw me.

Love what you wrote about King Silamban equation with his Queen and by default his daughter Devasena this makes the character D 2.0 even more vulnerable. I like what you wrote about Jal and his interactions too , just in my opinion felt like Chandrima it seemed a little convoluted..just my opinion no offense😉

Yes , this Devasena is vulnerable because every one demands , hopes , expects and uses her or from her . Does any one think or bother what she , as a woman , as an individual , even as a princess wants ?? Even Hahuma always keeps talking about the mission ?? Does Hahuma not know that Varundev is reborn as well ,and nothing can separate the star crosses lovers ?? 

But in preleap , even amidst all chaos of plotting against her , she'd one true well wisher and friend in her father Ardhamundan ( Did I say the name right ?? ).. But in this birth I don't think she's a true friend.

Even Jaladev is alone , with no Abrook or Shivan this time to toe him .

They're essentially alone and odds are stacked against them.

Today was another breath taking episode . Many new plot lines opening and flourishing.

Some of them took us by surprise some didn't. 

Mekhla falling in love with Jaladev was totally predictable ; it's also very significant that Mekhla now have the red cloth that Jaladev had made for Devasena. Is this a sign by destiny that D will sacrifice her love for the happiness of her younger sis ?? I hope not ! 

Liked the playful Jal and the new Devasena and looking forward to a more romantic , playful type of love unlike the intense one of 1.0.

Exactly ! This time we viewers demand a slow burn , no rushing break neck and thank God that's exactly what's happening , D n J are feeling the familiar tug and pull in their heart strings but that's not enough to distract them from their respective missions.

It's not first sight love this time , like it was previously. 

Lastly, your writing seems familiar have we met at another forum..I just used to write in one another?

Now that you're saying , your name is extremely familiar , but I couldn't put my finger on the exact place ! Could it be KRPKAB forum ? Or Star MB forum ?

Well, my previous user name was AnnaPaquinFan, does that ring a bell ?? 

Thanks again for this amazing reply and thoughts

QUOTE=Lady_Macbeth]I think the major reason behind all these confusions is the leap and new set up with new characters. 

We don't know them yet. Their true faces are hidden behind shadow just like the 5th destiny kid. 

Before leap all the characters were out in the open for the viewers. Their real intentions were not left to guess. We almost knew beforehand what to expect from them. 

But I like this strategy of story telling better. Leaving some mystery,  suspended,  element of thrill and puzzles to solve. 

This is in fact the first episode after Varunsena death that I enjoyed , because of this particular style of story telling;  because of the unpredictability of the characters. 

King Silamban doesn't want the lust filled intentions of Queen S to be fulfilled that's why he's doing any thing within his power to thwart her plans. He hates his wife ; and for good reason. 

The way he was forced to sire Devasena is it a wonder he's not emotionally attached to Devasena? ? He hates the mother and hates his own helplessness. Devasena is more influenced by her mother and Hahuma and obsessed over mission. So there's no such warm father - daughter bond as was there in the preleap. 

When Devasena come to King S with request of sparing Mahisha's life it was natural for King S to think that Devasena wants to marry him and finds him her worthy match and likes him therefore S felt nothing wrong in declaring their marriage when he caught his wife and Mahisha together. But when Devasena protested vehemently against this decision and declared that she wouldn't marry Mahisha under any circumstances,  Silamban realised that D was only asking to spare him for humanity. 

Now coming to Queen S,  she's evil and lusty,  with absolutely no morality so no surprise over her lusting over Mahisha and hurting her own daughter when D opposed her. She has her own motives and her agendas. A mother who ruthlessly kills her own newborn sons,  one couldn't and shouldn't have any expectations of her being a great mother to her daughters either. Everything and everyone including Devasena is a means to an end for her. 

Mekhla;  the other princess ; she always tries to find out what is going on through D's mind . She's another unpredictable character and I love that fact about her.

Hahuma - well. . She was quite cryptic about her hints today and that's fine. In fact she shouldn't be giving D any hint or more help altogether. It's high time. If H provides all help and hints then what so great about D ? Does she have any individual capability or not?  Done with her running to Hahuma all the time. She needs to find out the rest herself. 

Jaladev - He's a man on a mission and that mission is - to kill Devasena,  as simple as that. Like any young man of his age he felt a whiff of attraction towards the beautiful princess but that didn't distract or deter him from his mission and nor it should. I'd lose all respect for him if he forgets his mission just by seeing D and falls for her. It'll all happen in due time in due course and it'll happen with both at the same time,  just like previous birth. 

He was quick to recognise that it's the same lady as that of the stone statue in the cave but even when she was fighting with Mahisha;  JD was fantasising about killing her brutally. 

This is all good because don't we want them to fall for each other over their innate good qualities,  integrity,  morality,  character and good heart? We don't want to see a love between these soul mates that's based on previous birth flash backs and physical good looks ! That'll be too superficial and not justifying two grand characters like this. 

Mahisha hates Queen S but wants to marry D because he likes D plus it gives him power , access and ample opportunities to destroy S. 

Other 3 destiny kids will soon make their entry too and the convolution will only increase.

To be honest this is the best episode after Varunsena death one. It has all the elements in right balance. I really loved the funny parts since the light hearted moments,  if not too silly or too stretched are much needed and refreshing in a story as grimly set as Aarambh.
