Just read in an article about the show.

This show will show, many struggles Parvati experienced while accepting her fate as
merciless Maa Kaali & Dash Mahvidhyas.
Her husband Mahadev will help her in this journey.
In his Shankar avatar, he'll be Parvati's biggest support system and guide as she discovers
her destiny as, Aadi Para Shakti, which makes her even Superior then the Trinity, Brhma, Vishnu, Mahadev.


So the story line seems promising. 😊

promising, but, doesn't shiva himself turnes into 10 bhairavas to acompany each mahavidyas? as in mahakala bhairava for kali, sadyotjaata bhairava for tara, kameshwara for shodashi or lalita tripurasundari.

Yeah the storyline is interesting but Utkarsh is known for messing up myths..
I Don't have any hopes from this show.
But still will be watching only for Pooja and nothing else.

Same thoughts. Utkarsh will show his own Devi Bhagawat.
By the way who is above whom is undecided since Vyasa himself contradicted his own stands accordingly. While Shiv Puran shows Shiva as the almighty,Vishnu Puran hails Vishnu as the supreme God. Devi Bhagawat upholds Shakti as the all powerful above the trinity.

Due to these contradictions in medevial period there were many disputes among Saivas,Vaishnavas and Sakteyas.

As per my observation we can see Vishnu worship Shiva in many situations like Srirama worshipping Rameswara Saikata linga Krishna doing penance to please Siva for progeny.

Still Vishnu Puran tells a different story.

I wonder how could discovering AdiParasakti identity happen after Kali?

Sakti is half of Siva and that to me is the biggest truth. Parvati's penance enlightened her of her reality and then only she was able to marry Mahadev.

Siva did not do any thing in this regard. Parvati herself got realisation and that too before marriage.

I feel Utkarsh is once again distorting the facts so that they can explore the chemistry between Saurabh and Puja.

I feel SIDT's grave mistake is naming the serial Mahakali. Instead he should have named it Adi Sakti.ki apaar mahima.

Still Puja is the only reason for me to watch the show.

They are different forms of Shiva only taken to match each Mahavidya. Bhairavs are different.
Lord Shiva is MahaBhairav.

Each Purana, glorifies their main Deity.
Apart from Puranas, different Aagamas are associated with different forms of Devi. These shastras explain glory of each form of Devi in detail.

Even during DKDM, story was narrated as per DKDM Puran. All Mytho makers will come up with their own modern version as a combo pack.
As a viewer, just appreciate what you like & forget about the rest. That's a peaceful way of watching these shows. As far as UN's version of story is concerned, they will be discussed max. 😆
The word, "Distortion", will be used max. 😆
Their variation, can not change our faith & belief system. We'll pick up only good pts from the show.

They will be showing that same Shiv-Sati romance that we saw in the early parts of DKDM placing Parvati in place of Sati.
Maybe they'll be showing Parvati being disowned by Himavat for choosing to marry Shiva and that's why he'll do a tandav.
To show his anger on being not approved of by his sasur.. 😆
This one is gonna be the worst mytho show EVER on Indian TV.
@Bold:
Utkarsh won't really get much out of it.
Half people already know the same story from DKDM.
And that was not too long ago.
And If Sid T and Colors TV thinks that Pooja -SRJ chemistry can give them ratings, then they're probably mistaken.
Shiv-Sati romance was well known so DKDM makers had the opportunity to glamorize that track.
But the romance element in shiva-parvati romance was much more subdued.
It was more about Parvati 'S determination to get Lord Shiva.
She had to face so many obstacles in her path to get married to Lord Shiva, even Mahadev came to discourage her but she continued her penance so ultimately, Lord Shiva consented to get married to her.
Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati both was represented as Strong spines individuals.
I've seen that clip that Saas Bahu Aur Saazish claimed was from Mahakali's epi 1.
It didn't look mytho show at all.
Utkarsh babu was busy preaching Woman empowerment as Parvati was complaining to her hubby Mahadev that demons are attacking the heaven and Mahadev advised her to face the demons herself because women should face dangers themselves instead of relying on men
In this clip, both Parvati and Mahadev sounded like regular soap opera characters rather than Gods.
Both of them sounded so spineless.
Each character has an essence.
What Utkarsh did in Mahakali that he avoided in both Mahabharata and Shani, is that he played with the essence of both the Gods.
Shiva and Parvati both are known for their strong personalities as well as their parenting instincts.
But in this particular clip I'm talking about, Parvati and Mahadev both of them behaved like Sandhya and Sooraj, respectively from the blockbuster serial Diya Aur Bati Hum.
Especially the way Mahadev urged Parvati to go to the battlefield.
If UN and Sid had the intentions of making Parvati a TV bahu and Shiva her spineless Pati , they could've better made a saas bahu serial instead.
In fact, Sid T and Colors TV has chosen a wrong or rather than, a confusing concept in itself when it comes to this show.
Well, I know that DKDM also made a lot of changes to the myths, but they didn't create their own mythology.
Nikhil Sinha had an extremely efficient research team who used to find out every single story associated with Lord Shiva to supply him fodder for the show.
He knew that there is a crowd who uses the Internet and can catch him red handed if he fictionalizes the serial too much.
Moreover, DKDM started from the very beginning.
Nikhil had a lot of time to establish his story And characters that when he started to show bakwas, certain section of the crowd was already hooked to Shiva's long list of adventures.
Also the producers were very sure about their intentions and time and again made it certain that Mohit is the star of the show .And that it'll be Mohit who will run the show, and not Mohit -Mouni's chemistry.
The catch is to give a mytho show a proper start .
Most mytho characters have a well defined origin stories and most mytho stories have a beautiful starting, so it's advisable for makers of this type of show to stick to the books in the start till the audience gets hooked to the show and then add tasteful changes later.
But it is again advisable to the writers of mythos (special mention for Utkarsh Babu) to not indulge in too much fiction.
DKDM'S ship sanked slowly not because of constant replacement of female lead (well, it was definitely a factor) , but because near the end of the show, they were making too many mytho stories on their own.
But in Mahakali, it seems like UN and Sid T are making up their own mythology with centering on Gods and Demons (who BTW, dressed up like Katappa from Bahubali).
Oh, and the casting.
Why rave so much about Mahadev-Parvati chemistry when the guy chosen to play Lord Shiva is himself a wrong choice for the role he is playing
As I've reiterated earlier, couples don't work in Mythos.
Here the catch is to cast actors who perfectly fit the image mass audience have about Gods so the wider audience could relate to them.
As for romance, People aleady have some ideas about the relation between Shiva and Parvati, be it from Mytho books or from DKDM.
And sorry to say, I'm not feeling a bit chemistry between Pooja and Saurabh .
Hey, I'm not even relating a bit to SRJ as Lord Shiva , so how I can relate to his chemistry with Pooja?
Anyways, there was a previous show on Colors which was also concerned about Goddess AdiShakti called Jai Jag Janani Durga It also started with a non-mythological event about Goddess Durga killing a demon called Kalkeya.
And they messed this track up and the show ultimately shut shop within 4months.
In fact, this show was also broadcasted in the 7pm slot and received low trps.
So you can easily imagine what might happen to Mahakali also., given how abruptly the show's storyline is commencing.

I understand we can not expect hundred percent perfection as far as mytho shows are concerned. Too much involvement causes mental stress,this I learnt from Surya Putr Karn.
Like Minakshi said we can enjoy what is good and leave the rest. Star Bharat and Shani to some extent are enjoyable though distorted

But sometimes our patience will be tested as in the case of Surya Putr . You see every scene manipulated and changed to elevate their purpose. Utkarsh crossed all the limits and presented a false version of the original in the name of Mahabharat. That is the limit.

DKDM also modernised and presented the story. But they did not change the soul of Siva's story. His Charecter remained true to what we heard from our elders and what we studied in Epics and literature. Their Sati and Parvati are relatable.We find wide difference in charecterisation,performance and body language between Sati and Parvati.

Like I said earlier. Parvati is complete manifestation of Adi Sakti by the time she married Siva.Both Shiv and Parvati know their duties. There is no need of one goading the other to fulfill the purpose. If Shiv killed Tripurasur,Parvati killed Raktabij,Mahishasur etc.

Like Luna said it sounded more like woman empowerment drama rather than a mytho serial. It really is debatable. When the casting is not perfect atleast the presentation should be honest and captivating. I mean Saurabh here who hardly looks like Shiva . He who made us believe he must be Vishnu himself may meet with disappointment since his presentation and interpretation both looked faulty.

The biggest challenge for SIDT this time is to meet up the standards set by DKDM. He did not face such problem with MBH. BR's classical version of Mahabharat happened many years back. So the present generation connected with SIDT's version. But it won't be the case with Mahakali. DKDM is still fresh in our memory and there lies the challenge for the makers.

Jag Janani Maa Durga, was a good show, except Kalakeya part & rushed up killing of Mahishasur towards the end.
They started with how Aadi Shakti took a form from being formless in the beginning. Ashta Matrukas in her court added authentic feel.
It was comparatively a low budget show. 7 pm time slot during week days got low trp.
When I heard about this show for the first time, had told someone, the hero & heroin of this show is Mahakaali. 😃
