WSPMBS (why star plus maha bharat sucked) Part 8.

Admission - I was going to originally go on until the sixty fourth but the problem is that the final episode in this post (number 61) had the most issues and problem's, so that led to this becoming too long, meaning the next post will cover episodes 62 till 65 or 66 (hopefully). I decided to break my own pratigya/vow for the betterment of this blog & my own time.

Episode 55:

Mistake 1 - at the first minute mark raj kumari Dushalah said Subhadra is her sakhi (best friend or mate/companion). She introduced her and claimed that subhadra and her used to practice at a academy for girl's. But the issue here is that subhadra would be way too young, she is still the daughter of Vasudeva (biological brother to Kunti) but of a different wife besides Devaki.

And subhadra is too young to be in the same academy that Dushala was apart of. Especially if she went their after Jarasandha began invading Mathura then its highly unlikely that Dushala would be sent in a academy close to Mathura and if Subhadra was sent to a academy outside of mathura then it would've been easy for Jarasandha to make her a hostage/captive then make a barter trade/bargain with people of mathura for krishna's head or balarama's throat.

Subhadra can't be in the same age bracket of Duhsalah due to her being born nine months after Kamsa died, and Kamsa died around the same year that Pandu was dead according to this TV serial.

Mistake 2 - Introducing Subhadra this early is stupid, this dumb choice made by the scriptwriter's was too risky, as the actress knew her character would become irrelevant or disspear until it gets married to arjuna later on. Cause this episode is one before the chapters where droopad is captured, the yuvraaj position is granted to yudisther, a campaign happens involving arjuna invading other territories while bheem learns from Balaram in dwaraka.

The lakshagriha incident occurs a year after that and then hidimva vadha, after that ghatotkatch is born, the death of vakasoor happen's, right after that another time skip occurs, duryodhan gets married before lakshagriha these are just a tiny amount of things that happened according to the book in between the tournament AND the marriage of droupadi.

Subhadra does not marry arjuna until after the construction of Indraprastha, many years after droupadi married him. So not only does it make no sense in terms of age, but it also is a bad move by the directors and producers as this actor is being hired already for a role/character that will be meaningless until many episodes after this.

Mistake 3 - from 2:27 to 2:42 about fifteen second's passed by. In that time lapse Kunti said the word KRISHNA three times. The first time it's pronounced by her as "krishnuh" the other two times she said the name as "krishnaa" basically altering the way she spoke the name of her nephew.

Mistake 4 - in the four minute forty second mark "shaheer sheikh" (actor that presents arjuna's character) made a stupid & redundant food joke regarding Bheem, which was just annoying to listen too, this trend, trope (whatever u call) it is dumb and not needed in a tv serial of Mahabharat.

Mistake 5 - In the 6 minute 25 second mark till the 6 minute 44 second mark their is a silent scene where character's act and react based on facial expression's only. Here the problem i have is Nakula was described as the most handsomest pandava so why is Subhadra not aroused by his face? Why does she get attracted-too/turned on by arjuna's entry instead? Even in the real book (adi parva) it was arjuna who had a crush on her but subhadra had no prior attraction to him. But in this TV serial it would make more sense if she liked Nakula instead but ended up marrying arjuna.

Mistake 6 - In the 13:16 mark of this episode Bhima's character says to Duryodhan that yesterday (kal) arjuna's arrows bound you. The issue here is that Bhima said yesterday but clearly its only been a few hours since the tournament as its night, so the tournament either occurred at noon or in the morning hours for that day.

And Arjuna immobilized Suyodhana by using astra vidhya not arrows so the statement is completely false. Or this version of Bhima is unintelligent and literally has a learning disability.

Mistake 7 - At the 15 minute mark Duryodhan said a dumb joke "maybe these pandavas will talk so much in war that their enemies will also faint" then 3 kourav brothers began to laugh after this. To me it made no sense cause the joke was not funny in any way so the sense of humor these character's have is pathetic.

One of the people laughing was "Vikarna". Due to inferiority complex this trio does not have any dark skinned male, instead all are fair & handsome or wheat-ish/bronze complexion.

Mistake 8: Obviously when arjuna was being incriminated by Sakuni then a couple witnesses could have chosen to intervene and give statement's like "the king of anga provoked arjuna to take up a weapon so did Duryodhan" and that karna would not attack a nation where his friend Suyodhana's father is ruling.

So their is no real threat of war especially since karna is ignorant in politics, despite being crowned anga's ruler he has not stepped foot in Anga at all. And most importantly the overrated character of "Bhishma" is general to Hastinapur's army, so karna would also not invade hastinapur due to his own fear, ignoring the fact that anga's army would not follow the order's of karna either. So their was not a need to punish arjuna even if it is to set an example to anyone else then the subjects of hastinapur (who were present at the festival/celebration party) would not care at all.

Cause in their eyes arjuna could be considered as not a legitimate member of the royal family (due to not being pandu's blood instead Indra's). So the subjects of hastinapur would view it as king Dhritrashtra punishing a child born out of an affair that his brothers wife had, not a son of his blood line since Arjuna isnt even Dhritrashtra's brothers son.

So arjuna being punished would not be a example to the citizens of the term "all are equal in eyes of law nobody not even a member of royalty has the right to break a law"

Episode 56.

1st) Vidura was a pro pandav character in the real Mahabharata & in TV serial's too. So why would he ever choose to agree that arjuna should be given any form of punishment? Especially washing of angaraja's feet?

Later on even Bhishma admitted that their was no right Dhritrashtra had in this episode to give a political face to the personal conflict between arjuna and karna.

2nd) Interesting that starplus's writing unit had time, resources and energy to spend showing a fake scene like karna's feet being washed by arjuna yet did not have the same supplies to show Eklavya carrying yudisther's shoes, or touching his feet in the rajasuya parva of mahabharat.

3rd) The color differences of the pandavas and kouravas outfit's.

Here we can see clearly that the kouravas (less than ten of the brothers made an appearance in the show) had much greater variety in color for their cloths. But pandava's did not have that variety in color.

Why could they only give cool cloths and multi colors to the kouravas? Why do the kouravas get all the cool clothes but no pandava does?

If this mahabharat TV serial is bias in favor of pandavas and makes the kouravas look eviler than they were in the book (according to kmg/bori the kouravs didnt commit any sin besides the dice game) then why do the kouravas get better clothing despite having the same wealth and status that the pandavas have?

4TH mistake is when Priyamvada & Kunti had a conversation they admitted that karna was the brother of arjuna, they did not care about who overheard them or that even doors have ear's. Shaheer Sheikh (who plays arjuna's role) walks in on their conversation but for some reason (TV Serial BS reason's) he did not hear anything related to the secret of karna being his brother.

5th mistake: The nose of shaheer sheikh is literally a hint proving that he should not have been allowed to play this role as his nose is too big, arjuna's nose wasnt like pinnochio's.

          It would also be disrespectful to droupadi's character in the future if she get's wedded to a man with a nose like that.

Episode 57:

Again a mistake was made by the star plus team. They did not get shaheers wig done right, its clearly visible that this man's hair is fake, this look definitely does not suit mahabharat's best warrior.

But what can be done when starplus's team (worker's directors and actor's) are all so mediocre? An actors looks can be critiqued as they get paid to be stared at or watched by the audience.

2nd Mistake.

Not only is Ashwathama now turned into a drunkard but he is also very anti pandava, this mistake of doing his character assassination is an error that starplus should not ever be forgiven for. Brahmin's are not supposed to drink liquor, alcohol or any such beverages. They dont get intoxicated like this.

Speaking of actors and looks ankit mohan (the one who essayed ashwathama's role) is tall dark handsome he should have been the perfect person to be given the role of Arjuna instead of shaheer sheikh...

3rd mistake - At the 11 minute mark it made no logical sense for their to be fireworks in the sky as those types of items were never mentioned as existing in Mahabharata and if they did even exist in the universe of Mahabharata then they certainly were never used for celebration purposes.

The last part's of this episode were not worth analyzing or watching but i still watched it.

=

EPISODE 58;

In the first part of this episode Bhishma narrated a emotional story which led to a couple of characters crying, shedding tears etc. The problem is that it's a story related to the childhood of pandu, dritrashtra, vidura etc. Obviously a issue is that the youngest those 3 characters had been introduced as were in their adult form. Their childhood had never been shown so this tale that was narrated by Bhishma in my opinion has less of a effect on the audience.

Because the scene where dhritrashtra saved vidura/pandu as a kid was NEVER shown on screen instead only a cross reference was given. And at the 6:57 mark Sakuni again called Bhishma a "bhairav" which is a dumb nickname in my perspective. It was not necessary at all.

2nd mistake - At 8:08 their was a flashback of a scene where king Pandu said he only found one warrior to be infront of him or better than him who never accepted a defeat and that was his brother Dritarashtra. So the problem here is that Bhishma (the guy who according to this TV serial was the best fighter after krishna) is also a warrior superior to pandu or someone pandu respected as better than himself. Surely pandu would try to find himself worthy enough to follow in his footsteps more than the footsteps of the blind warrior Dritarashtra.

Mistake 3: the guru dakshina should not be a paramater for who is best suited for the position of 'Yuvraaj' because that would mean since arjuna is the one that arrested panchal raj then the yuvraaj should have been arjuna not yudisther. Every mahabharat enthusiast should know that droopad's capture was not due to any exertion done by yudisther instead it was arjuna who did all the work.

Mistake four - In the 18;25 mark emperor Dritarashtra claims droopad is a experienced and powerful warrior. But my complaint is that according to Mahabharat (bori ce, kmg etc) theirs not one line mentioning a battle Droopad was involved in his life before the guru dakshina yudh. Unless u count MADHVACHARYAS MAHABHARAT commentary which tells readers that droopad was among the kings that served jarasandha faithfully and was defeated by balram/krishna.

Episode 59 (mistakes).

Mistake 1 - before the 1:13 mark Shaheer Sheikh did poor dialogue delivery with his sloppy facial expression's.

{GIF}

I think i get what people were saying that the man looks like he's always ready to cry and isn't suited for the character of arjuna. I think shaheer sheikh should have played the role of either Ashwathama, Dristhadyumna or maybe Vabruvahana. Cause he was not a good arjuna at all even if we criminalize the script and blame it instead of the actor.

Mistake 2 - At 4;15 mark Droopad calls the servant a "gupture" (that means SPY) then he asks him to tell the message, the gupture said "acharya drone sent a message" logically this'd imply that the servant of Droopad was not really a spy but was actually a messenger, especially since the same person is later (in 5:22) called a DOOT (messenger). So these starplus writer's can not even keep the BS image of their characters up they are in a confusion of not knowing what profession/position a single character has.

3rd mistake - Karna (son of Surya) is giving advice and orders to 2 of the kourava prince's (Vikarn & Duhsasan) telling them basic simple thing's about forging a sword or picking the right arrow. It makes no sense why 2 kshatriya princes, trained by Drona would need advice from karna (who does not have complete education due to being cursed by Parshuram before he could complete his training).

Later in the TV series Duryodhan (during the dyuth-sabha chapter's) claimed that "Vikarn" is an ace archer ('adhbhoot dhanudhar') yet for some reason he needs advice from karna, and the type of advice is just about the weight of an arrow.

4th - Karna told them very basic things that people with common sense already know, like the weight and mass of an arrow and if its a heavier arrow then it wont travel far when released from a bow.

Also its pretty stupid to see black smiths & weapon makers crafting/forging arrows in star bharath BECAUSE u see so many arrows appearing out of thin air so their's no point in showing natural arrows being created or made when they magically come out of thin air in battle scenes even Sakuni was shown being able to do it.

In 19;26 due to my own personal bias i liked the scene where Duryodhana claims that Bhishma being invincible, unbeatable and unkillable are just futile myths/rumors or stories to frighten others. And that now Dritarashtra has 100 adult sons he does not need to fear Bheeshma.

Mistake 5 - of course the list will be INCOMPLETE without mentioning the physique of another proud Kshatriya or arya varth.

Emperor Droopad the man who defeated the one hundred kourava brother's in this tv serial, was trained by brahmin agnivesa, yet he has a pot belly, no muscle mass on his arms. Wow, thats just disrespectful, if they couldn't get a fit actor then they should've at least had the decency to make sure the audience never has to see a shirtless Sudesh Berry ever again in their entire lives.

I mean we can see the mans pot belly and breasts clearly out in the open, it's like, this guy shouldnt be acting here. Especially since droopad as a warrior is poorly handled in this tv show because he actually lost all his battles.

The 99 kouravs get arrested by foot soldier's in panchal instead of king Droopad. While Suyodhana loses due to a magic trick of duplication used by Droopad.

And SPOILER but in the Kurukshetra War all Droopad really got to do was break the chakra vyooh for a moment, get stopped by Jayadratha then before that he wounds guru drona with an arrow (which Drona LET happen) & he gets killed quickly by drona on day 15. So literally he did not get any good brownie points as a warrior in this tv series.

For a character that was hyped up for a long time that guru drona doubted would be captured by even arjuna in this tv show the actor who portrays him doesn't fit the role, either they should have given him armor on all occasions (to hide his belly/chest) or they should have changed the actor to a fitter indian male.

During the conversation Subhadra & Arjuna had then the chakra vyuha was mentioned unnecessarily to foreshadow that Subhadra would fall asleep, not only is that dumb but the fact they showed fountain's existing in the kingdom of hastinapur was another error. They didnt have cable wires or electricity at the time but unfortunately the script writers always failed.

Mistake ? - Arjuna's conversation with subhadra served no real purpose besides giving him the five blue stone rocks that Krishna said would come to his aid in the future. And the sarcastic words arjuna said to subhadra (to flirt with her) should never have happened because that shows that this version of arjuna is either a pervert or a shameless individual as he choose to pursue a relationship with a woman who had not even reached puberty as of yet.

Subhadra's AGE - She can not be 14, 15, 16 or 17/18 at all here cause she remained unmarried for 13 years (one year before the swayamvar of droupadi, twelve years in the personal exile before dice game) so basically if she was even 14 here then she would've been a 27 year old female bachelor and that is not believable in the world of Mahabharat as woman over their always got married before the age of twenty years, this is a huge mistake to introduce her during this time of the story.

60TH EPISODE.

At 1:06 when the pandavas greet Kripa then they call him their "guru dev" its clearly inaccurate and makes no sense cause in this TV show they never went to his academy or learned anything from him, they all had only one teacher that was Drona not Kripa.

The 2nd error in this one is the image below.

[donE]

Comment - if you notice then it should be obvious, excluding karna in that group their are 15 kourava princes and 5 pandava's, that's not how it should be, their needs to be atleast 105 people their. And that's the number only if you discount Karna/Yuyutsu.

So Starplus not only got it wrong on purpose but also could not give us anything near the true source material, this is too tiny of a number.

=

3rd error - Is the fact that karna has his kavach kundala over here yet when he said "prani-paat" to Bhishma then Bhishma blesses him with long life not victory or happiness. If a person had a armor like that (which in this TV serial is the highest quality of protection) then they dont need a long life as a blessing.

4th - Drona mention's that drupada learned from his dad bharadwaja and that whatever bharadwaja taught drona was also taught to all prince's of Hastinapur yet he ignores that he also learned from Angiras, Agastya, Agnivesa & the highly overrated Parshuram. I wonder why not even one mentor besides "Bharadwaja" received a mention by Drona in this scene.

5th - In the 7:45 minute mark Drona said that he has no idea where karna learned his VIDYA (art) from, yet ignores that in the 46th episode of this very serial teenage Karna literally told Drona that hes gonna learn from Parshurama.

6th - Somehow Karna being excluded from the guru dakshina war is being presented as a incident that should be viewed by the audience as another injustice done to Karna's character. On the contrary i'd argue its totally fair for karna to be excluded from this battle.

As Karna is neither a member of the kourav family (he only had a blood connection with the white washed whore kunti) and he has a unfair advantage (kavach kundal) he also isnt a student of drona in this tv serial so their is nothing wrong with karna being excluded, so the audience should not feel bad for him in any sense over here.

7th - The twenty princes (fifteen kouravs, five pandavas) travel to panchal across the same forest where the kourav army roams around during the kurukshetra war (in the episode after jayadratha's death) so since the scene/setting is the same it shows that StarPlus's team lacked a variety of sets to film their fake bharat tv show.

8th - In the 12:05 mark Yudisther made a sarcastic, immature and dishonest comment about Bheem, so he clearly lied the character of dharmaraaj yudisther is not supposed to lie this much. So again bad characterization, poorly handled.

9th mistake - This's a very big and long one compared to the rest. Duryodhan talks about war planning before the actual battle begin's, the kouravas get their unfair advantage with ashwathama giving them intel (private information) on the army of panchal how its general is not able to die no matter what. But its a mistake as Drona earlier mentioned that he and his son will not have a role in this battle they wont be a part of it. So why is Aswathama now an adviser and military strategist/tactician for the Kourava's army then?

While Duryodhana created a imaginary organization of troops called "Shar Vyooh" which does not exist in Mahabharat (kmg, bori) at all. And the way he describes how his brothers should move is nothing like the way they do when the actual battle does eventually happen. He said Duhsasana and Vikarna will head their own private units each unit will have a certain amount of his brother's inside them but in the actual battle that does not happen.

Instead of Duhsasana being a leader of a unknown amount of kourava brothers he ends up just sticking at Duryodhana's side/flank like glue. While Vikarna doesn't even use any arrows in the battle, instead he fights with a halberd or spear type hand-held weapon their was no attempt of using the fake paash astra that was invented in the show.

{GIF}

They also missed yet another opportunity to highlight lesser known kourava brother's like "Vivinsati", "Durmukha", "Chitrasena" etc instead they only give even a small amount of attention to the top three (Suyodhan, Duhsasana, Vikarna). That's a big disservice & is unfair to all 97 other sons of Gandhari.

It was mentioned by Suyodhan that Droopad would be in the centre/middle (MADHYAM) of his army but clearly in the episode of the battle he was not in the center instead he was behind his army away from the chakra vyooha formation.

Bonus - The river where Amba's avtaar (raj kumari sreekandi) takes a bath in looks dirty & green, but i give credit cause all other female characters had bad introduction's (Duhsala, Gandhari, Kunti, Subhadra).

However the first scene of adult Sreekandi was when she was training with a weapon like a warrior would. So good job but everything else just suck's. Other mistakes do exist in this episode indeed but i feel it would be a waste to elaborate on any more, instead i'll just skip forward to the next one doing all readers a favor.

=

Episode 61:

1st] At the 1:20 mark though it's a good thing that a plot hole is adressed (why no kourav brother died in a war they lost in before bheem vowed to kill them) as Droopad tells Sreekandi "not one prince should be killed as we need to lure bhishma here" it still isnt logical cause he also said they have to capture the raj kumars. And how will u do that exactly?

For a guy like Duryodhan who had the physical strength equivalent to Bheem how can he be tied to a tree branch with normal ropes? How can duhsasana, vikarna, other kouravas get restrained by ropes? Not even the gordian knot should be able to restrain those warrior's.

2nd - Clearly it made no sense for the character of Bheem to be so devoted to his brother Yudisther in the sense that Yudisther would later gamble their common wife, kingdom and brothers freedom away too. So why is Bheem so keen on making Yudisther the king/yuvraaj of hastinapur? When in the future he will disagree with most decisions made by Yudisther.

3rd] At the 2:02 mark of this episode theirs two raj kumars (obviously from the kourav side) on-top of horses they are both clearly unfit for the role of warrior's.

Zoomed into the left one.

                                                Just look at those BICEPS.

=

4th] In the 3:54 mark Drona's character told Suyodhana to ask the question to his father Dritarashtra, the obvious problem here is that Dritarashtra lived in Hastinapura so in the time Suyodhan takes to ask him anything then Droopad would've already been defeated or captured by someone else (like the pandavas). Clearly Suyodhan is not in a position to question his father.

5th} In the 6:18 mark arjun (who is younger to himself) was called the word "AAP" by Suyodhana. That clearly makes no sense as "aap" is a title for those that are elder/superior to u in rank and status. While arjun here was not.

6th - In the 7:15 mark Yudisther literally said he wishes for Duryodhans victory in this war, it is a big flaw as that means he doesnt want to be the king of hastinapura himself but would rather have Duryodhan rule over his brothers and himself too.

7th - It was mentioned in episode 58 (where Bhishma told the story of dhritrashtra's childhood) that Droopad's army had two aukshounis. But it seems like the writers of Star Plus MahaBharata do not understand one aukshouni has at least 21,870 elephants. Now i get that Droopad wont have his whole army present just in one place of his kingdom, instead it would be spread out evenly. But come on he should have more than just one elephant in his army, here in the part where kouravas rush only one elephant is shown and it's a elephant that doesnt even fight, most likely it was a CGI generated animal then.

8th - Also why is Droopad not on a chariot? Instead here he is a wooden made tower which is not how his position (in the panchal army) was ever described in any MB text book.

9th - During the 10;46 mark of the video Suyodhana said the names of 2 brothers indicating that he is talking to them only, they are vikarna/duhsasana. Right after that u would expect Vikarna instead of vikarna to do a facial expression/reaction but instead the face of a nameless brother was shown & not Vikarna.

10th - One more thing which makes no sense is a statement of Duryodhana that the panchal army has been defeated by Hastinapur many times (anekho baar) but if that was the case then Drona would not ask for such a easy guru dakshina/fee (the captivity of Drupada).

And in the TV series itself they only show 1 former conflict between panchal rashtra & kuru rashtra (hastinapur). That was where Prishula arrests Vichitravirya & then loses against Bhishma. Thats only 1 defeat not countless defeat's.

11th - All kourava brothers were riding horses instead of being in vehicle's, chariot's, carts, wagons etc. Their is not any elephant in the army of the kouravas, this's a very pathetic and shameful portrayal of a war, if the writing team wanted mahabharat to be made as realistically as possible then they should not have reduced their army to merely being cavalry and nothing else.

12th - the wide long weapons that they use clearly dont suit the type of siege warfare they were instructed to do. That curved double bladed weapon is not a suitable protection against arrows, dart's or spears at all so this's another error. And Suyodhana using a club when he is riding a horse at-the-same-time is also not a sensible move, he's supposed to be all-rounder/proficient-fighter but here in this show he made a amateurish mistake.

13th - Srikandi gave orders but she yelled in a voice that in my opinion was not loud at all so that means her soldier's probably did not hear her voice or command's, so theirs no way they could be organized well or go into their positions.

14th - only four of the kourava prince's were united together fighting close to eachothers proximity, that leaves the other 96 brothers vulnerable, divided, exposed as they cant rely on eachother for back up.

=

Continuation of mistakes BELOW:

15th - In the 12:49 minute mark Duryodhan says that the SHAR VYOOH could navigate or break any vyuha formation in wars. But my problem is if that is the case then why during the later episodes of this series (like when the kurukshetra war is televised) then how come the SHAR VYUHA is forgotten about, never mentioned by any character on either side? If it's a special array which can potentially break any other vyooh?

16th - None of the kourava brother's had any shield's (hand held) on them, they also lacked a storage for their weapon's which they could use to resupply themselves and they did not have any helmets which are a mandate for protection of vulnerable body parts.

17th - The kourava prince's are all clueless as they fall for an obvious trap where Srikandi lets them all come in her labyrinth (chakra vyuha). Now they have limited movement space/interaction, so they can't form plans with eachother or communicate well enough.

Why didn't Suyodhan (duryodhana) learn anything of value from a teacher of Drona's caliber?

NOTE; the proper translation for "chakra vyooh" is Discus formation/circular array (in English). But Star Plus subtitle's erred by translating it as LABYRINTH instead.

18th - Firstly what are flowers (in the left side) doing in a war tower?

19th - Second why is Srikandi in the battle when she doesnt have a glove for her fingers or suitable armor to cover her arm skin from attack's?

20th - Also Srikandi does not look like a warrior, she has no muscle mass. If the writer's wanted to show A FEMALE WARRIOR they could have hired a FBB (female-body-builder) from India to play Srikandi's role so her fight scenes could be much better than. It would also attract/lure a female audience of viewer's to mahabharat (tv serial) then. But script writers in star plus are always making wrong decision's.

=

21st - why couldn't any of the prince's use their bladed weapons to cut against the nets that were used to make them captives?

Duryodhan used a club to push the net off himself, and the club had no sharpness to it, no sharp edge so it makes no real sense for how a net can capture four princes like that.

22nd - The simple fact Duryodhan can escape from the net like this, but then later on gets tied to a wooden pole by Droopad or a soldier of Droopad.

He should have been able to break free from this too then.

23rd - In the 16 minute 42 second mark king Droopad mentioned that 2 raj kumars (princes) are still fighting, but the issue is clear that their were three kumars fighting not only two. So Droopad's dialogue/line did not make any sense, its not realistic.

And since the tower is away from the chakravyuha how is Drupad even able to see what is going on inside the formation carefully enough? Duryodhan (suyodhana), duhsasan & one other un named prince were involved in the last part of the war.

Then literally almost a minute after this it appears that their are three more kumars still fighting the panchal foot soldier's....

Like i said BEFORE "StarPlus Cant even keep up its own BS Image" they contradict the laws of their own universe and statements made by character's!

24th - In the 16:58 mark Drupada said "if i need to use my five ratnas to defeat these children then it will be considered your defeat srikandini" the problem here is that Droopad does not give her any credit for her achievement (capturing 97 or 98 of the kourava brother's) their is nothing wrong if just 3 or 2 percent of the task hasn't been completed. Yet he thinks this makes her incompetent or is a stain in her record.

25th - literally it was pointless to have Srikandi wear a facial covering/mask, not only does it become a handicap in battle but it also limits ur breathing.

She wasn't supposed to be a ninja either, in the actual mahabharat she was a female archer who fought on chariot's not on foot. Except in rare circumstances like against ashwathama in kurukshetra (the only time she took up the role of a infantry soldier).

Her weapon appears to be inspired from a tool that SRK (ShahRukhKhan) used in the 2001 film (Asoka Biopic).

A whip blade which is never described in mahabharat, they would have been better off giving her mini lightweight maces that are easier to wield (due to their low weight) or a scythe instead.

26th mistake; The Suyodhana vs Droopad fight.

Why doesn't droopad try to aim his blade at Suyodhan's fingers that're holding the club? Instead he focuses on trying to out-muscle him and out power him through brute strength by winning a weapon lock/exchange of pushing ur enemy.

{GiF}

When Suyodhana got kicked then he could have deflected the kick by using his own feet as a shield or maybe trying to redirect the attack to his knee so droopad would get hurt instead. Usually older warriors dont go for kicks, at most its a punch or they use real weapons.

Timestamp; In the 19:27 mark instead of doing a smart move (like attacking Duryodhan's shoulders) king droopad went for the chest despite knowing that Duryodhan would protect himself with the club. It seemed as if he was trying to use a technique to cut Duryodhan's mace (other name for club) into pieces but its clear that his intentions were failing. Regardless the main point is that this is not how a MASTER or a experienced warrior would fight someone unless they were joking around.

27th - In the 19:31 mark for a very BRIEF point it can be seen that their are a couple kourava prince's still fighting, right behind droopad infront of Suyodhan. Since the kouravas were adharmic cheaters (in this tv serial) why didnt they just ambush or gang up on king Droopad by doing a group attack then? They could've surrounded him in his own formation (vyooh-rachnah).

28th mistake - Here in the image below Drupad/Suyodhan appear as if they are trying to hit eachother's weapons instead of trying to hit eachother's bodies.

29th - At the 19:49 mark of this episode Duryodhan hit king droopad a total of 5 different times using his physical body & hand's themselves. The issue i have is that Droopad looks like this after the beating Duryodhan gave him;

Notice how theirs no blood loss or drops, yet when Srikandi is hit once only (not more than that) by duryodhan's club then she is knocked out cold, faints until the kingdom is divided (due to the pandavs invasion). And she even was bleeding from that attack.

When Bheem hit Duryodhan 6 times (in the 50th episode) this's what he looked like;

30th mistake:

Another Drupada is on a elephant but he holds a sword in hand instead of a long range weapon. This made no sense because usually if u are a warrior who is a elephant rider then u will hold a bow with arrows and a quiver, or a case of dart's to toss, or javelin's, lances and spears. This Droopad (sudesh-berry) had nothing like that. It is from the 20:49 mark
