As of now, I found these actors completely doing justice to their roles with their acting prowess.
Aham Sharma( Karn )
Anoop Singh ( Dhritrashtra)
Arun Rana ( Paandu )
Sayantani (Satyawati)

These I found mediocre.
Aarav ( Bheeshm)
Praneet (Shakuni)
Saurav (Bheem)
Rohit (Yudi)
Saurabh Jain (Krishna)
Nisaar (Drona)
Ankur(Ashwatthama)

Rest are OK. I did not mention Shaheer (Arjun), because despite so much focus on his character, he is not able to make it. I am not talking about an actor's good looks but the way he or she has done justice to these roles.

Arjun (Feroz ) in old MB looked every bit of Arjun, not only in mannerisms but by his diction, dialogue delivery,his gait and his attitude.

Here goes my list
Krishna
Drona
Dritharashtra
Duryodhan
Yudhistra
Karna
Beeshma
Shakuni

Some how i am not able to connect with Bheem, Arjun...the worst is vidur and ashwathama.. Vidur comes across as a weak person and ashwathama as a comedian...😕

Good post
I agree on Vidur n Arjun
In my opinion the following have impressed me:
Dhritarashtra has grown into his role, he has a great strength particularly in vocal expression, and his weakness for his son is emerging every min
Bhishma has noble restraint, but he needs more focus on so we get to witness the other angle to him via solitary moments, his sense of overwhelming burden, I feel his attachment to Arjun hasn't yet been set
Satyavati, her dignity and initial power and ambitions that got stampeeded on in the uncertain face of Hastinapurs future heir, and I loved that moment when she glanced at hope in the form of a young Yudhisthir
Gandhari has the right grace and dignity, also feel her role is being overshadowed too much,
Shakuni, he's an animated character but his softer human side is being shown in his correspondance with Gandhari

Then others likes of Drona who has a natural approach, Karna, Bhima are fine, although with Karna I expect more from him considering how truly engrossing the character is supposedly though the actor is trying his best, there's still a real intensity missing. Infact the teenager was great, in the peak of passion, actually all the kid actors were brilliant, so where they left off the grown-up versions haven't quite picked up.
I think the others need improvement some more some less. With Arjuna its a case of acting with a bit more restraint otherwise he's ok.

My list

Great/good

Arav
Sayantani
Ratan
Puneet
Arun
All the kids, except the one who played Yudisthir
Aham
Vin Rana
Nirbhay

Mediocre

Sameer
Anoop
Riya
Praneet (overacts)
Nissar Khan
Ankit Mohan
Shafaq
Kunwar Jinger (Vidura)
Suhani (totally out of character)
Shaheer (overhyped, and does not look the part at all)

Just like Shaheer seems ill suited for Arjun's role, Arpit seems ill suited for Duryodhan's. Duryodhan ought to be a revulsive character, but there is nothing revulsive about Arpit - he makes Duryodhan more sexy, which shouldn't be the objective. By contrast, Nirbhay does a great job playing Dushashan - one is instantly repelled, b4 he's even said a word.

A good example of some great character portrayal would be Raj Shah, who played the kid Dushashan. The kid himself looks cute, but when he spoke, he had such a rudeness about him that was repulsive that he instantly brought out Dushashan's character. That's what Arpit needs to do - bring out the evil nature of Duryodhan to the fore, so that he repels the viewers. But that's not what he's been doing up to now.

If the Vidura in BRC was too outspoken, this one is at the other end - not just subdued, but almost cowed into submission. His only strong performance came when he spoke up for Pandu to become king, but since then, he's gone silent.

Some notable observations - Shakuni's role has accumulated too much masala, maybe from BRC, and everybody who plays his role seems to overact. The CVs could really tone down Shakuni's role - he wasn't the larger than life figure that BRC made him out to be.

Well as per me all actors are decent enough.I dont think i can point out to one actor and say he /she is terrible.Still all arent perfect they need improvement but over all i think all are doing a decent job but if i have to select the best i would say shakuni is the best.Then Bheeshm and Dridhrashtra will get the second place and then Gandhari.Recently i have even started liking shafaq as kunti.Regarding pandavas and kauravas i think they are all decent actors however will have to see more from them to put them in the best category

Ok fine...naming others too.

Dhritrashtra
Karna

Pandu
In case of the kids, Bheem, Dury and Dusshasan in particular.
Sayantani as Satyavati was good too.
Drona


Arav is my favourite, the best and the most suitable actor.

Can't comment about Krishna as he hasn't entered yet.
