Ashwathama going with a message to Shakuni is another contrived thing , Ashwathama had RESPECT , he was not a messenger and what was the message , would he go for such a faaltu message ?😆

Its exactly the same as Drona yelling like Tarzan .

The CVs seem hell bent on turning it into an Ekta Kapoor serial .

The scenario Suvika was this ...

Yudhistir walked ahead , then Bheem ,then Arjun , then Nakul Sahdev .They respected Yushishtir that much . They never even spoke till he spoke first .

Only Bheem contradicted him sometimes , that too with proper deference .

In the Mahabharat often it is said 'Bheemarjun' ...and when encounters with Karna are there 'Karnarjun'.

u see Mahabharat is not about a single hero at all .

The other thing that was laughable was Parshuram saying if u had told me the truth i would have sent u to some guru ...which guru ? When only training brahmins and kshatriyas was the norm ? Why is it shown as an injustice when it was a rule of society which was based on Varna ashrama ? Parshuram was a strict follower of rules , he was known for this strictness , so why put unbelievable dialogues in his mouth ...just anger at being lied to was enough .

Mahabharat is a readymade story , throbbing with drama that will raise TRPs on its own , no need for these contrived serial gimmicks .

i guess the cv's r more concentrating on KRISHNARJUN part...lyk showing d whole mahabharath is a very huge task...so they might have chosen one part of it be shown perfectly...but even i felt yudhishtir should have led the team...😊

and its not going to stop there if we go by the promo. Now Ashwathama is going to talk to Drona and tell him not to interfere..a true EK serial material if i had ever seen one!!

very correct. even during the keechak episode no matter how furious Bheema had been, he didn't move until Yudhistir gave his go ahead.

Parashuram feeling sad because he was lied to!! The story i knew was that he saw Karn silently enduring the pain and realizes that he could not be a brahmin. That only a kshatriya has that kind of ability. He gets angry and curses.

Mahabharat is a readymade story , throbbing with drama that will raise TRPs on its own , no need for these contrived serial gimmicks .

Would love to meet the CV team. Sure would like to know which version they are following or if they have started writing their own version.

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 .

Totally agree with u...not only for this part rather till now whatever they have shown, each character is modified, some scenes added which i never read while some important part deleted.

Come on guys its not as simple as just read Mahabharart and show it.Its not that simple to show an epic onscreen.Years of research and understanding goes into it.Not only to understand the essence of story but also the characters and their relation with other charcters and the underlying dynamics.So its not as easy as you are saying that its a ready made story which they have to show so its simple.You take any novel or book to present it on screen is a very difficult task that is why no film or tv series based on novel is as good as the book becuase it becomes very difficult to show the essence of the novel on screen so its not as simple as it seems

Regarding Arjun lets wait and watch till the actual epsiode is shown even i have my reservations but before claiming that CV's know nothing and havent done correct research and all give them a chance first see the epsiode and then comment.Till now they have given equal imprtnace to all pandavas and their stories lets see what they do now

For those who say its not simple to make serial on epic

we r talking of the basics .

i am not saying anything of scenes like Bheem falling in quicksand or Karna burning the woodblock although they r contrived we can accept , as is drama serial

but

Ashwathama promised to be made king ? Huh ? Again yesterday he was talking to Shakuni about it ! This my dears is BASIC knowledge , no great research is required , we heard these stories since childhood !

Drona yelling that way when he gave up his body by silently meditating after hearing of son's death ? Next is what , Drona doing haa hoo karate ? Drona was a great rishi , never ever remoreseful at his decisions , they were taken firmly ...he felt no remorse about refusing Karna or Eklavya , he abided by the rules . He was a teacher . He , Parshuram , Kripacharchya had the job to abide by rules of society in Varna dharma .

I agree about Krishnarjun . But Krishnarjun comes later , not now dear .

i suppose the CV's have just taken some creative liberty.

in this Mahabharat is not like the old one, where even the smallest aspect and bonding were shown. i dont think they are trying to show how the got there. but only the big incidents that defined the path to the great war.

Yudhisthir led by protocal because he was the eldest. Arjun led in war. he was the best and finest wariour. besides lord Krisha himself picked Arjun, Now why did he do that? he could have offered to be yudhisthrs sariti. but he chose to be Arjuns, Lord Krishna was closets to Arjun. hanuman blessed the pandavas and declared that he would ride on the chatri of Arjuns chariot. whild this blessing he gave to bheema. and hanuma and bheema are half brother right both are the sons of vaayu.

and even though each brother was highly competent and the best of his field, the archers were considered very highly skilled. and divine weapons of highly destructible powers were attached to these skills of the Archery.

but anyway it was the pandavas that won the war so the hero is all the pandavs right.

But its NOT a story of heroes , its an epic , a chronicle of HAPPENINGS ...Right from Satyavati to Parikshit being saved . One cannot overlook the others .

Have they shown Ashwathama becoming a king not yet?When they do we can say they have changed the basics until then we have to wait and watch.

There are no basics they have chnaged relating to Drona as well

In any case if you thing they are changing basics then its your POV i dont agree with but i respect it.To each his own

About CV's overlooking other pandavas i will again say let the episode air then we can really know if they have overlooked other pandavas or not

They did justice to all pandavas during their childhood now lets wait and watch what they do

No its not my POV

I can have no POV here

the epic is already written and though there can be many versions basics r same so u see i have no POV

neither do i have to wait and see if Ashwathama becomes king and THEN say they changed Mahabharat coz till now the distortions shown r unbelievable

even in promo they r showing Ashwathama planning to bring stones on Arjun's head while Ashwathama was neutral and broke up Bheem Duruodhan's fight .

The POVs r only in liking a character not in basic facts of epics .
