Why is Arjuna shown as leader of the Pandavas? - Page 9

thats just it na..she didn't do that and kept the secret to herself even when all 5 brothers were fighting against Karna in the final war. Hence Yudhishtir's curse to all women that they would never hold a secret from then on.

But why did the promo show Kunti discussing Karn with someone else?? Or were two separate scenes clubbed??

I have been watching this new Mahabharata since its first episode and I must say, the makers have done quite a decent job of it.

However there is one thing that I fail to understand. I know there are various versions of the epic and I myself have read a few but I haven't, anywhere, seen the character of Arjuna getting so much footage. Agreed he was a great warrior and in many ways, the ideal man, but what they are showing is a little too much

The makers have to understand that they are showing the story of Mahabharata and not the story of Arjuna. Every character in this epic has positive and negative shades. The so called negative characters too have some positive aspects attached to them. So, it cannot be shown as the story of bravery and heroism of just one individual out of so many. Arjuna too had his weaknesses.

What is most surprising is showing him in front of even Yudhistira, who was the eldest and in more ways ways than one, the center of unity of the pandavas. Arjuna was not and cannot be shown as the leader of the pandavas, period. 😊
