I don't think I necessarily represent the "now" generation just because I like the look of the serial, because the script bothers me much more than the technology. The script also is geared towards the "now" generation isn't it? For me, the technology is secondary compared to the script. If the script is good, then I will like the show even if the technology is OTT or not impressive enough. For me, the technology of this show is not what bothers me, but how they change some important facts and characterizations of the people. People learn from what they see on television, and if the CVs make an attempt to show the story at least 90% factual, then I could care less about the technology.

Incidentally, I am not the first one to like the grand look of this show, I assure you. 😆 Many of my friends watch it for the technology only, as they are not much impressed by the actors or script.

I agree with JanakiRaghunath ...if the technology impresses me , the script disappoints me often coz the basics r often changed .

For instance in the promos it shown Duryodhan against Arjun

while in reality

it always was Duryodhan against Bheem

Arjun against Karna

these 2 mighty brothers won the war for the Pandavas and their foes were determined by the epic and their fate .

I don't understand why Duryodhan is constantly shown talking about Arjun and telling he is frightened of him

Duryodhan was frightened of NONE . He was too convinced of his right and his beliefs that since the Pandavas were not of Kuru blood they had no right to make any claims . He was ultimately defeated but he never wavered in his stand till the last breath . Till the very end he believed in HIS stand . Right or wrong is for us to decide , many feel he was wrong , some today feel he had a point . But fact is , he was frightened of none , his hatred was his strength and he too died fighting and was killed with unfair means . He lamented about the unfairness and Balaram was so disgusted that he walked away from the fight . But Krishna told him that he was the last person who should talk about unfair means as he did it many many times himself . Very true . Krishna had an explanation for EVERYTHING . If they show Arjun against Duryodhan , Arjun against Karna , Arjun perhaps even against Shakuni i wonder about the script .

Hastinapur was never flanked by hills and mountains contrary to shown in this show. Every time people strode outside of the palace they were seen strolling in the hills 😆.

It was situated in the Ganga-Yamuna plains.

Satywati's father had put that condition before Shantanu that only Satyawati's son would become the king after Shantanu and She had asked bheeshm to break his pratigya and provide an heir, but Bheeshm refused. And Vyas was her son as well as yogi therefore, for Niyog he was the best choice. Not Satyavati's lineage but Shantanu, in those days a king could acquire his heir to the throne by many ways such as Niyog with some yogi or sadhu, by adoption King Bharat adopted Rishi bhardwaj after he got him from yagya and made him kin rather then his own 9 sons, there are several other methods sorry forgot. But that son would be king's son only. Just as Pandav's janam data are some gods but till today we consider Pandu to be their father.

Women's lineage does not matter in patriarchal society.

Absolutely bang on. 👏 You have hit the nail on the head.

Even during the game of dice, after Draupadi was molested, Bhima lost his cool and wanted to burn Yudhishthira's hands. It was Arjuna who restrained him and pointed that they had always given Yudhishthira the respect due to a father.

🤣 🤣 If they did just that I wouldn't be surprised, it certainly would be impressive to watch it not to mention funny oh so funny to watch Shakuni using bow and arrow with his single eye against Arjun as it is most of the time he watches things with single eye.🥱
