Ever since the show has become a daily, the storyline and quality has taken a hit ... apart from the incessant dhan dhan dhan music, they have been stretching the Bhimya track like a rubber band. I miss the tight editing and pace of the show when it used to air on just Fridays and Saturdays.
Moreso, do they have to show Soyra gawking like a jealous shrew wife every-time Shivaji and Sai have a tender moment or Sai is showered some attention? It is ridiculous, especially since they show Sai on one hand going above and beyond to make Soyra feel included in everything...the kitchen politics is so not needed. Indeed, not much is known about their interaction and chemistry on a day-to-day basis. For a daily, the makers are left with no choice but to add these unnecessary elements to stretch the show. But for me personally, somehow that kills the authenticity of the show.
In a separate thread someone was outraged about Sai-Soyra's relation being shown in a manner that was distorting history. Initially I was okay with some creative liberties taken by the makers. But now it is getting more and more in-your-face.
Historical fact about Soyrabai: Soyra's prominence grew during Sambhaji's time. Sai died when Sambhaji was 2 years old and Jijabai died a few years later. Soyra couldn't shower her love on the motherless child, Sambhaji and was in fact instrumental in creating a rift between a father and his son. Her ulterior motive was, to see her son appointed as the next heir throne after Shivaji's death, instead of Sambhaji - pretty much like Kaikeyi, from Ramayan. And Rajaram (her son) like Bharat was extremely fond of Sambhaji and knew that he was much more capable of ruling the kingdom rather than himself.
This is truly a nice show. I enjoy watching it. Makers - if you can read this, please pull up your socks now and don't let such a nice show lose its grip by tweaking the facts and needlessly stretching it.
Thoughts?
