Which actor will suit the role of Krishna in Mahabharata?? - Page 7

First thing makers shud keep in mind that Krishna was of Arjuna's age. So if Amir is going to be krishna that means three eldest pandavas, duryodhan and Karna are also going to be old people like Amir.

I think South is making a version of Mahabharat but BW should also try one mega budget movie on this epic with commercial BW actors in lead roles.Better than wasting money by launching starkids with epic duds like Mirziyaan

I want to know more about why Krishna never went back to meet Radha at Vrindavan,whether Radha-Rukmini are same person..Why the bias towards Kunti/Panchali(who I really dont consider pious,virtuous or worthy of glory) that he even ended up beseeching a noble Karna..There are many versions of story floating around but need one one unbiased authentic version

Sorry to say but karna was not as noble as people claim him to be.. He had grey shades too.. And second thing is, yes pandavas sinned, but they also bore their punishment by accepting the vanvaas. I think lord krishna said that the day duryodhana and gang insulted draupadi, their death was decided!

Swapnil Joshi was so cute as the teenage Krishna in Shri Krishna

@Bold - There is no such version which is completely unbiased/authentic. In every version of Mahabharata you'll get the feeling the author/version is biased towards Pandavs, Kunti, & Draupadi. Its because Mahabharata itself was written in their favour. VedVyas was biased towards them. All of the sins haven been justified through previous life boon/curse etc by interpolating stuffs. Having said that, I don't know about biased/unbiased but KMG's version is considered authentic. I've read that version as well.

Well, I don't dislike Draupadi. But she was a overglorified character. She gets sympathy & importance is given to her mainly because of the disrobing incident in the Dice hall. But modern day researchers have proved that Draupadi's striping never took place & their claim isn't just for the sake of it, their claim is logical and I truly believe it never happened. This incidence is a blackspot of the entire MB, this was an interpolation to portray Kauravs in the most inhumane way IMO, mainly to shame them! There are plenty of proofs that it never happened & many other things to inside that hall. You can read Satya Chaitanya's article if you'd like to know about this matter in details.

I love Karna too but he wasn't a total white shaded character. He was neither complete white nor total black. He was noble but had some grey shades too. He had done some bad deeds too. But yes he wasn't a villain either, or a whitewashed hero like those sneaky Pandavas. His character was complicated, layered, he had flaws but his great qualities & deeds overshadows some of his misdeeds and he never needed to be a completely whitewashed typical conventional hero, he was a flawed hero, he has always been the most major special attraction of MB & that's what sets his apart from the rest & makes him the best character of MB. ⭐️ His portrayal was more of a Anti-Hero or unsung hero in the original Mahabharat but this is why in the real world he's considered the Real hero of MB and by far the most popular, loved & respected character of MB after Lord Krishna. 😛

PS - Sorry for the long essay 😆

I dont think.any version of mahabharat has glorified pandavas becoz every single of them shows playing them the game and losing everything. Also Idont know how people write the proo f that disrobing didnt happen? It is a fictional mythology. U cant give proof to.counter that. U can write ur version but how can u write about the proof. Also he u go by logic, Pandavas and Kauravs wont exist. A woman cant give birth to 101 children. And u cant have children just by doing tapasya. If u go by logic Pandavas wont be Pandu's kids. 😆

Mahabharat is a beauty, a classic becoz no one is white in this book. Every char has its own shortcomings. Some are more grey. Some are more white. It depends person to person whom they adore. Kauravas? Pandavas? Draupadi? Krishna? Others?

Personally I love Krishna. And to some extent I also respect Shakuni becoz he loved his sister too much that he tried to destroy kuruvansh for what they did to her.

This is kaliyug, now people are sympathising with characters such as duryodhana 😆 and lo abb disrobing incident was false too?? Y not make the whole Mahabharata false then?? All these facts and research depends upon which character u support.. Mostly all the characters had their weaknesses, some more and some less! But the msg was loud and clear, if u disrespect a woman, u cannot be a true Kshatriya, as that is adharma!

No, I'm not trying to make this thread into a debate thread or anything sort of that. Don't assume. I just replied to TM's queries. I don't wanna get into debate but I can show you by posting quotes from other versions how They've been overglorified. Proof doesn't mean in actual proof. Its from the texts of MB. I'm not talking about any particular version I meant that in general VedVyas Mahabharata was obviously written in their favour & pretty much tried to portray them in good light in the most possible way (most of the time).

BTW, that revenging story is not true 😆 Its mostly shown in TV series of MB.

Pikachu, Kindly refrain from taking potshots. Even I too can do the same. Don't say stuffs like Oh wow people are sympathizing with Adharmis lile Duryodhan. I never sympathized with him. & By the way going by previous comment I guess you like Pandavas & Draupadi. Pandavas & Draupadi were Adharmis too. Staking your wife as an object in the dice game, then sharing a woman between 5 men (I know she was destined to be due to previous life curse) is DHARMA? 😆 I can mention tons of incidents such as this. If Duryodhan was shit so was Pandavas & Draupadi. So, you too like Adharmis like them.That's why I wrote in my previous comment that all of their sins have been justified at somehow through some boon or curse.

& why dont you read that article before jumping over my comment. Those who've proved their claim about the disrobing incidence they're researchers, so saying they've claimed this or try to justify this due to their bias towards their favorite is laughable. They've proved this through their logical claim from the text of MB. I never said that Draupadi disrobing iincident or MB is false. I meant that many incidents have been interpolated (which never took place, mostly in the case of Pandavas & Draupadi) to show Kauravas in extreme badlight in the best possible way. It doesn't mean that I'm sympathizing with them. I don't hate him, I don't like him either!

my comment was not directed towards you in general.. But i have seen many people defending dueyodhana. And how can we say that someone is overglorified or not? Orwhich version of story is true or not?? That is y people believe the most popular versions of these mythos and i also do that. And second thing, i never said i liked pandavas, They did mistakes but but they paid for them by acceptong vanvaas.. Yuddhistira said that draupadi's incident was his fault and therefore accepted his guilt, but what happened to the actual culprits? They were spending all those years in their palaces scheming and plotting probably?? And i won't believe that disrobing incident did not happen at all! And btw aise to there is also a version which said that draupadi did not mock duryodhana when he fell? So should i believe that?? And sorry in my eyes draupadi isn't wrong and neither is she an overglorified character.. Draupadi is the supposed to be a representation of a woman standing up against the wrongs that happened to her repeatedly and i respect or like her character for that.. She even scolds and taunts her husbands at times too.. Anyways my point is that MB is a story which signifies that adahrma loses.. Better not insult 21st century glasses into it..😆

It's false in the sense it was not in Veda Vyasa's original Mahabharata...

There is a school of thinking that it was was added later(interpolation) There are other instances of interpolations in Mahabharata too but this one is the most popular

Yes she was disrespected and humiliated bcz of her husband's deeds and only bcz she was a woman 😡

She was dragged to the court where all the kings and other men were assembled, when she was heavily bleeding and in single garment, her clothes stained with blood... Kauravas laughing at her condition... Isn't that humiliation enough?

The events of dice hall is recounted by many characters in Mahabharata later including Draupadi herself... Nobody mentions the disrobing... Even Draupadi while crying to Krishna how nobody protected her says "I have no husband, sons, father, brother, I don't even have you Krishna"

She only mentions being dragged to the court while bleeding, doesn't say a word about disrobing and Krishna protecting her

And wasn't it true that karna mocked her too by calling her a wh*re ? 🤢
