When you are watching a historical show and that too on Indian TV,you have to prepare yourself for minor and major distortions.No historical show or movie can manage without twisting the facts a bit.I know that this show has deviated a lot from actual history but to be frank I am watching it for the actors who are doing their parts brilliantly and the fine execution by Swastik.
I disagree with your views on Pankhuri's acting.Pankhuri is portraying the character of a girl who grows up to be a matured and responsible woman.Razia was not the stern Sultan from the beginning.The change happened slowly and steadily.She evolved,learnt from the circumstances and eventually became Razia Sultan.The CVs have tried to show both the aspects of Razia's personality and Pankhuri is doing it fabulously.
About the drama and the twists and turns,well,as I have said earlier,drama is necessary for the viewers to enjoy the show.This is a TV show and not a documentary.About the distortions well many historical shows had major distortions.
CGM prolonged Alexander's stay in India and even showed that Chankya's tactics may have been the cause of Alexander's retreat.
JA depicted Ruqaiya Sultan Begum as a vamp which she was not.However,it is Ekta's show and Ekta's shows are never complete without saas-bahu and vamps.They even went to the extent of showing witches and ghosts.
MP depicted Emperor Akbar as a villain and showed a love triangle between MP and his two wives Ajabdeh and Phool.They also showed a brief meeting between MP and Akbar in their childhood and Akbar falling for Phool.This is completely inaccurate.
CAS is the master of distortions.They turned CGM's wife Cornelia/Helena into a vamp,depicted the historically non-existent love between Bindusar and Dharma and gave the show a touch of Game Of Thrones.
Inspite of these distortions,all these shows were successful and liked by a majority of the viewers.Why???? Because they were entertaining and the acting was appreciated.Many viewers have accepted the fact that historicals tend to deviate from history and watched it purely for entertainment.
RS too has distorted the facts but I did not find a single track boring apart from the Yaldoz track.The leads have an awesome chemistry which is the USP of the show.
About Shah Turkan,well,she was a cruel character in history and here there is nothing wrong if she is portrayed as a villain in Razia's life.Sambhavna Seth's acting adds to the charm of the show.
