Most important thing is the makers have understood the epic from various povs. The final version shot & edited shows their efforts.
Shanta's story teaches an important lesson. Do not form opinion on fave value. Accept the challange life gives you. It may be for one's bright future.
Shanta accepted the challenge of fulfilling Dashrath's wish to get son, by adopting very unconventional way. She found true happiness in form of a husband, who respects her. She is learning to live a life without attachment & wishes, which are root cause of many problems in life. She changed her life to bring positive change for her father. The satisfaction on her face after meeting her mother & brothers, showed, she wasnt wrong.

Your post puts very powerful thoughts and questions across.. I look forward to reading it everyday even if I am unable to comment. Great going👏

Kousalya finally smiled😃 The actress looks pretty when she is smiling and I loved how her dynamics with her husband took a U-Turn when she was finally able to assuage her guilt. Sumitra's small but smiling presence was powerful for me.. Sumitra never took sides, did not have an ounce of greed or malice and stood always to the right. The person playing her character has been selected well and her smile is very beautiful.

Dasharath's wait to hear from Kousalya and his sons was gratifying to see and I am glad he is shown as affected by Shanta's decision as Kousalya is.. just little less emotive. Ram's insight into his parents plight truly brings out the sensitive and just side of him. Kudos to the makers on handliing this plotline👏

It is said that one should listen to those who provide the right guidance and advice beside you. While Kaikeyi had total disregard for Mantara's words until now, the poison is slowly seeping in through slight cracks that are opening up.
It is interesting to see what obsessive love can do.. Dasharath is obsessively in love with his sons especially Ram and Kaikeyi is in love with Dasharath. Both leads to distress in the end.

Liked the story telling part from Janak to the girls😊 Sita gets to hear first hand about the Raghu Vansh and she has a question ready.. Are they still the same? And then she hears of Ram!! Liked the way Janak looked amused seeing the other girls sleep by the time he reached Ajja😆 Sita is eager to hear more and that kinda suits her characterization.

The mithila scenes seem to however have a pattern now. Something happens and Sita gets to throw out a very deep question. It is time to change this and make it more like they are showing in Ayodhya.
While I appreciate the fact that she is questioning, I still find it hard to digest that she is shown doing her questioning in front of a all the courtiers and the defeated king.. 😕 Why is it that the makers have to overdo the sita independence and boldness thing? The question would have had equal impact if we saw Sita questioning her father in private.

We are next week going to go on the problem solvers mode I guess.. Ram gets close to his citizens and Sita gives the way out for Ahalya to RIshi Gautam's son removing their Peeda

Nice take Arshics. But did you notice the parallel. One wound closed. Another opened. Kausalya strained relation with king ensured the possessive kaikeyi got kings attention. But now when relation is mending kaikeyi possessive nature will suffer. As you said moti breaking was symbolic. It is not shanta the problem but change of relations dynamics poses the problem
