We have grown up listening and watching stories of Mahabharataand Sri Krishna .

Why is Brihanalla introduced now? Sri Krishna went to Vidharbha to win Rukmini with Balaram not Arjun.

Wonder what is the justification of introducing such twist in an epic?

Because This "Mahabharat" is the story of the Mahanayak Arjun! Not of the other important characters.

Also its possible the guy whom they chose for the role of Balram (heard its a cameo here anyway) may have left the show and they didnt know what to do at short notice .. so they looked for inspiration from Dwarkadheesh serial where they eliminated Rukmini's character and put Jambavati in her place and made Krishna solve marital and in-laws related problems of Sudama .. thats why Arjuna is here in place of Balarama and as to why he is cross dressing this early .. only thakurji knows .. sab uski leela hai 😕

I think this is star plus's Mahabharat version. I dont know why these people are ruining our precious epic stories and misleading audience .hope all this will stop soon and the CV's will focus on original mahabharat story.

I guess this is as original as it can get if starplus is concerned. So if someone really wants to see pure mahabharat then it would be better to watch the purana wala mahabharat.

Weirdly, it is in this mahabharat that even the most minor characters are being given so much importance, substance and scenes.

I still havent forgotten how the portrayed Dhritrashtra in the old one ... week and desperate and how many shots did shikhandi have in it anyways?

I guess it is a matter of different perspective and point of view. You would say it is misleading, i would say it is more entertaining and watchable than the old one for me. If someone is interested in knowing Mahabharat than the person will just have to read the original Vyas version to really understand it and know the events as they really were. Even the old one had faults in it.

At least no is falling asleep watching this one, too busy being baffled and dumbfounded by the antics of the makers.😆
