I wasn't exactly following the show regularly but now I am back after watching all the episodes online. And I myself am more of silent member in this forum and visit to enlighten myself. But decided to write after watching all the episodes at one go... non stop😊.

It's been made on a colossal scale and the effort to recreate the history of Mahabharata is commendable. I agree Saubhaya, its the story that pulls me in above every thing else, its a story people like u n me r attach to and love.
I'm impressed by most of the acting so far esp. the likes of Gandhari, Shakuni, Bheeshma, Rajmata, Dhritarashtra,who respectively have really zoned well into their roles. Shakuni brings forth his own style away from the mold that was set up via the Br chopra Shakuni, Dhritarashtra arrogance is more pronounced, his bitter side takes the extreme such that all his fury consummates as flames erupt out of nowhere and although tending to the theatrical, a good imagery/analogy pointing out the origins of destruction, like a ever present existent entity, ominous like a shadow of things to come. Bheeshma is all grand and great, powerfully spoken, discreetly mimicking the image of Bheeshma as previously established by Mukesh Khanna but not too much that it abstracts from it. Naturally we will be comparing the 2 versions which cant be avoided even if one tried.

Can't agree more...the effort to revive the magic is praise worthy in itself. In the past Ekta Kapoor failed miserably because her experimentation was beyond any creative liberties.
And yes, so even you noticed that the new Bhishma does mimic the older one at times😆 .

I like this show because it is showing the good and bad nature and character of each individual...They are showing that noone is perfectly good and noone is totally bad...They are all having their own justifications for their actions...For this reason we cannot say who is the villain and who is the hero in the show, and that is what the beauty of this show is...

Starting from shantanu - he was in love with satyawati as well as his son and was confused in decision making...He was a Raja but he was captured in his confused state of mind.

Satyawati : She was an over ambitious lady, she had her aim and goal which is not bad, and rather it was ahead of time in those days where ladies had ambitions...But the fault was that her eyes and heart only fought for her ambitions and she did not paid attention to her path which leads to ultimate destruction...

Bhishma : Carried away with emotions in love with his father taking a terrible oath which in time will come back to him and he will suffer for the same...

Dhritarashtra : Fought with his inferiority complex...always thought that people are thinking low of him, his ambitions were high, more than his ambition he was blind in the thought that people are trying to snatch his everything...poor soul, he needed a good counselling...but alas captured by the thought of shakuni...

Shakuni : He was the villain...but in this show they showed the actual cause of being so vindictive in nature...He was burning with the thought of his sister's faith...He loved his sister alot...He was wronged by Hastinapur and pledged to take revenge...poor soul again...needed to control his senses...he destroyed all ultimately even his sisters happiness in the end...




A very well written and apt post👍🏼 and you have explained it all😊. The beauty of this show is that after a certain time you do feel for these characters...as my heart went out to Dhritarashtra the other day, poor thing was so helpless😒.

Haven't seen the old one to compare... I remember the title song though and it was amazing and impactful.

About the new Mahabharat, I like how the story and the circumstances are still applicable to the real life scenarios and can be related to even today. Plus, the dialogues for every twist has been justified and delivered well. Kudos to the dialogue writer.👏

The reason that Mahabharat is called the greatest of epic of all times lies here in the reason that the characters are so relatable even in this hi-tech 21st century. You can relate to these characters as if you are seeing a mirror and its amazing.
I would definitely like to give credit to the full team as a whole for making the story so impactful😊

What can I say to about these allegation buddy😕 . But then where have you read or watched that princess Amba was so impatient and ruthless that she would even burn the paddy fields to reach a certain destination or that Gandhari was really so afraid of darkness. These are the so called creative liberties that the CVs are bound to take.

And this happens in every other historical show but I am not complaining as they only add some masala to the story and give a better understanding of the character .
Aur phir TRPs ke baare mein bhi toh sochna hai😉.



yeh at the end of it only trps matter nothing else 😆😆

me too was unhappy that these CVs did not give any space to Shantanu -Ganga story...neither they detailed the birth sequences of Dhrit, pandu and vidur...may be they wanted to pace up the political plots and all quicker...but i would have loved if they had detailed all the background.
amba story was detailed but was twisted a bit...so i was not sure that I would continue to watch the show...what kept me hooked to MB was Geeta gyan given by Krishna...SRJ has made Krishna so believable in just few of minutes of screen presence in an episode👏👏👏

but Gandhari onwards they have character build up with sufficient pace and details...and m liking it

yes...the Kunti's selection of Pandu in Swayamvar was well presented ...I liked her question and Pandu's answer too👍🏼...

i feel the very reason why DKDM worked so well was because they went in much details of Shiv-Sati katha...and we enjoyed every bit of it...and having same team handling MB i expect same work from them here as well

The story of Mahabharat is based on emotional struggles of many of its characters...that is what makes it more appealing...and its good that this team is paying attention to it...lets hope it continues...😊😊
