Hey new Friends .
I am Rucha and I have been on IF for a while now, but this is my first topic on this Forum.
I have watched Mahabharat from the beginning, as I knew one of my Sanskrit teachers Dr. Madhavi Narsale was a content advisor. I must say, I was quite impressed by the beginning episodes, I had felt, and still feel, that content wise this is a fine interpretation but as I watched on, that first impression started fading out...
Personally I feel, there is too much glamour added in the new serial, with the help of technology. And to my sensibility, it kills the substancial content of the epic. e.g.
1. The panning shot of complete Hastinapur shown as a golden city flanked by waterfalls. It looks so fake and unreal. Hastinapur was not a celestial city or magic city, it was a real city. And the reality is completely lost.
2. Or the abode and prayer place of Parshuram - the way the stones moved at his will, the way the temple erected itself when he came to temple and then collapsed when he left. 😆😆
3. Or the way Dhritarashtra fights with Elephants, the fight again looks quite unreal.😕
4. Or the way Gods blessed Kunti with Sons. 😆
5. Or the way Pandu and Madri mated and died in a TULIP GARDEN, for God's sake! 🤢
6. Or the way Shakuni prepared a poison potion for Bheem.🤢
7. Even the sets of the Shiva Temple where Gandhari gave birth to the common soul of 100 sons and the abode of Krishna look completely artificial.👎🏼
I believe this should and could have been avoided.
They all look fake. I am not against use of advanced technology in mythological serials, but too much of it MUST be avoided.
Well, that's my opinion. Do share yours! Awaiting comments!!!
