Mahabharat Episode Discussion Thread #1 - Page 96

When Arav & Aham are present in a scene, I don't want to look at anyone else..their presence in one scene makes one whole episode a hit ! Especially, today it was Arav sir's show.. 😃 I simply loved the answers he gave to Arjuna..

Same here.

Karna addressed Arjun as 'Gadha' indirectly...😆
The dialogue writers weren't aware of the term 'Gardhabh'. Sanskrit term for donkey...

😆 😆 The cvs have lost all their senses..the same was the case in Friday's episode when Arjuna called Karna a 'Chuha'..

Agreed. I remember hearing more if Bheeshm in all serials and films in Mahabarat lines. But here they are not giving much to him. I really want to know if Arav's real voice is so majestic and Lion like 😆

I agree today's episode was lot better than previous few days.The best part about today's episode was when karan said you can make your statue on my shoulders and Duryodhan said that isnt possible as he stands by his friends.This was the best part as it reflects true nature of their freindship

The dialogue writer is well versed with Sanskrit terms. But at times while shooting some changes are added or some dialogues are subtracted if the actor can not pronounce the right word.

i have to agree here.Till now i have enjoyed almost all episodes up till the completion of rangbhoomi.After that 3 or 4 epsiodes have been highly illogical and with unnecessary drama.This is the first time they have put in so many filler epsiodes all toghether.Hence it is frustrating,In any case i wont give up on the show becuase i have enjoyed majority of the show till now only last few epsiodes have been dissapointing but hopefully with war with Drupad coming up will put an end to these unnecessary track.I hope i start enjoying the show again

today's epi was better .. i liked the conv between bheesm and Arjun .. it was like preview of things to come .. he made it clear his loyalties are to the throne ... Drona has strong views on who will be the heir

I'm still lagging behind one episode, so cannot say much about it. I have been dissapointed by the episodes after the rangbhoomi, the constant focus on kunti-priyamvada-karna scenes is excruciatingly tiresome and boring to watch, move on already, I can't undestand the purpose of inducing all the add on sentiment or masala drama star plus style which doesn't do much to the story as we know it nor does it add anything more to the personalities because its simply stating how one character reacts to anothers words or actions and the camera attends to wvery single characters facial expression as if we as viewers are so daft that we are unable to decide what they might be feeling without the camera dictating it, or the ever loud n constant musical cues that overwork more than necessary to highlight every moment be it tension, romance, sorrow. subsequently thoughtful dialogue is sacrificed for appeasing the naive viewer with the most basic form via characters outward emotions or drama as the camera resorts to framing each characters face of expression. It's as if all the characters r merely reactionaries . there is somethg very inoriginal, decadent and dull about telling the story via this means without enlightening us to any deeper understanding. This MB merely scratches the outer layer, I have yet to see when it will make the transition beyond basic trivial matters that are concerned purely with the emotional/melodramatic aspect.
moreover the pace of these fictitious fabricated scenes are agonisingly slow. The idea of representation is obvious, one refers to the text without meandering down a entirely different path that uses it on that pretext only to boost commercial success via the prescribed mind numbing methods that SP shows often utilise) as if the original path is seldom alone not richly deep enough, as if theres gt to b more explanations about the idea or image of tension/self-sacrifice/hurt that was experienced within the kuru family. It's degrading to see the epic warped in the manner and style of the everyday tv soap. I hope this doesn't become a regular fill in thing.
