Don't get me wrong, I love the character of Arjuna ❤️ but I did not like how the new promo showed him as the leader of the Pandavas. 😕 All the other Pandavas seemed insignificant next to him, and it was weird seeing him lead the pack when both Yudhisthira & Bhima were older than him. In the epic, Yudhisthira always led the Pandavas, followed by Bhima, Arjuna, Nakul, and Sahadev in the order of their birth.

It's not necessary to make the other Pandavas insignificant to make Arjuna seem great. What did you all think? If you are Shaheer's fans, please do not be offended or anything. This is not about Shaheer. It's about the characterization of the Pandavas by the CVs.

The same question strikes my mind. These CVs haven't done any research on the pandavas perhaps.

they have not done adequate research at all

Bhim was as mighty a warrior as Arjun , he has killed ALL the sons of Dritharashtra alone except Yuyutsu

Sahdev has killed the infamous Shakuni , he swore to kill him during the vastra haran

Nakula killed Karna's sons

The twins rode well , actually the best , and were skilled in sword fighting , an art NOT shown in Gurukul training

Yudhishtir excelled in spear , not shown

2 tests of Arjun showed utterly wrongly ...he pierced the crocodile with his ARROWS

he practised archery in the dark as Drona ordered the cook to serve him food in the dark

He used the varuna astra NOT to quench Karna's agni astra but to fill a narrow pot ...this test was set up purposefully to convince Ashwathama that Arjun deserved special attention as he was the best archer in the gurukul

dunno WHY they even showed Drona Karna confrontation in FRONT of the other students .

Karna and his confrontation with the princes is at the skills display event , years later .

Actually the CVS of Mahabharat have a most easy job . They have a ready made story . So why r they using their own head and messing it up all the time with inadequate basic research .

I feel that this Mahabharat is telling the story showing Arjun as Leader that is why they keep telling Arjun mahanayak and showed mostly Arjun's chldhood and Karn's not other's that significatly

I completely agreed with you...If they are showing Arjun promo separately they should show other pandavs promo separately too...

maybe bcos each time kunti faced problems it was arjun who helped her.
he was the one who defeated drupada.
he was the one who married draupadi.
he was krishna's best buddy
and most importantly his life is filled with romance and masala to increase TRP.

like with all interpretations...this too is flawed...with Arjun being central and other brothers rallying around him...I guess because Arjun apart from being a great warrior (which he was) he was also the cause of the Shri Krishna reciting the bhagvat...so maybe thats the reason he is being showcased as a central character here-

mahabharat can be interpreted in several different ways ... its not the characters but the essence thats important.

When I saw the promo today I wondered too that how come Arjun became leader of the Padavs as far as I know Yudhishthar being the eldest took all the decisions and without his permission no one used to do anything It should have been Yudhisthar who should be in the center and then Bheem and Arjun on his eiither sides and then Nakul sehdev on each side

but then Star plus is showing their own version 😕

No matter how expert an archer Arjun was but yudhishtar was more wise and more dutyful and would always be their king and leader and senior.
