Shani88, that's exactly what I thought. If Panchali is so upset @ bloodshed in a war, how will she make her famous statement to Krishna on the eve of his mission to Hastinapur? When she said that if her husbands didn't want to fight, then her father, brothers & sons would fight that war alone.

since CVs like to investigate in their own 21st century lenses ... I would say that the vastraharan has some psychological impact on her and she will need some therapy sessions ... but she won't be taking her drug medications for some odd reason, so during one of her psychological episodes, she will tell starKrishna what she said.

I have finally figured this out as well - StarArjuna will experience cold feet in Kurukshetra NOT because he has to fight his own family, but actually because he has accepted StarDrau's 'paraamarsh' of "A warrior should be scared of fighting war. War is 'bad' because it causes loss of innocent lives".

Madhav will have to accordingly tailor the content of StarBharat's Gita as well due to THIS particular reasoning of Parth regarding him having second thoughts about fighting the war (said reasoning sourced from StarDrau).

And since StarArjuna accepts THIS particular paraamarsh of StarDrau regarding war, he will be her favourite hubby.

So basically, StarBharat will go as far as distorting the Bhagavad Gita? If that happens, we shall bring on the rage!! 😔

Then we can go on a mega slappage and slap everyone associated with this show silly... then we can go to the houses of people who believe that this show is 100% accurate and slap them some senses. By the time we are done, I figure the entire India will be reformed by the wielders of the mighty slaps šŸ˜†

It's after all a drama serial. Just enjoy it as much as possible.
I mean we all know what the story is, what the Gita says, and the role of each character. So it's ok that they are interpreting the story in their own way (though I don't know what's wrong with interpreting the story the way like everyone else šŸ˜• )
Still it's their show ... They are making it ... Enjoy it ...
Pick your favorite characters (karna ... Ahem ahem 😃 😃 )
And hope for the best for them

Personally I no longer feel any connection with the show. It simply isn't Mahabharat, because they have failed to build the characters or give a direction to the story. The thing that made the *previous* Mahabharat the biggest show of Indian Television was its awesome characterization and the fact that almost every actor looked as though they were born to play the role. The scene where Karna vents out his anger at God after getting to know of his birth was so intense that it equaled or even paled Amitabh Bachhan's 'Aj khush toh bohot honge tum..'. Here Karna is a pussy, crying and sulking and walking out on Duryodhan all the time. He's the most confused and directionless character; perhaps the CVs have still not decided which side to put him - they might well make him join Pandavas in near future. Neither does he have any special friendship with Duryodhan (nor any hint of rivalry with Pandavas) nor does his heart lie with Kauravas. Krishna is so fake and his dialogues are so banal (I have normally been fast forwarding all his scenes right from the beginning). Bhishma, Arjun, Draupadi - all of them are out of character. From a charioteer to a king, everyone lectures on Dharma-Adharma all the time and either you have perfectly humble and righteous good guys or you have evil heartless bad guys. Duryodhan's insecurities or his emotional bond with Karna has so far been ignored. Arjun, Karna and Draupadi lack vigour, pride and arrogance that is characteristic of blue blood. In other words, the characters are strictly one-dimensional. There's no grey or challenging character that one can relate to or be forced to ponder upon. Above all the script is directionless and weeks after weeks are being wasted with useless events.

Overall its an epic fail. If its ever remembered, that will be only as one more lesson why no one should try to remake Mahabharat.

totally true, the characters of the Mahabharat were grey, no one was pure white or pure black (except for Shakuni) but here its so unreal, you cant connect with the characters, and as the plot becomes nothing more than a drama madhouse, your BP goes up (at least for me it did šŸ˜†)

i hope you post your views on starplus's post of Mahabharat on fb, twitter or google plus, they need to hear criticism cuz right now people are blind and loving this Starbharat 😔

In Starbharat, wasn't Khandavprasth completely Draupadi's idea to begin with?? As it is, the Pandavas like to take her "paraamarsh" a lot, so they could've told her,"Madam, yahan aana aap hi ka idea tha. To aap hi "paraamarsh" dijiye ki in snakes se kis prakar deal kiya jaaye..."

Regarding spilling tears over the narsanghar, someone should remind her of it once she gives call for war. In this case, innocent praja, I can understand. But, even in Kurukshetra, her "innocent" betas got killed, no?

Oh wait, this is Starbharat, anything is possible...🤢

Bold 🤣 cant stop laughing
Now regarding Drau and her stand against war.
This is my theory this is another attempt of character sanitization.Let me tell you how
Now alot of people consider Drau as extremely vengeful who caused the whole MB war and because of whom a lot of people died soem one who encouraged the war that led to alot of deaths some what like Helen of Troy.Now what CV's want to show us is that Drau was this innocent young girl who hated war to begin with she isnt vengeful by nature she loved common and innocent people and never wished for their death.It is becuase what happened to her during the whole vastarharan thing that she became vengeful she wasnt like this by nature circumstances forced her to do this other wise she was a sweet innocent girl who hated war.Becuase CV's dont think we can just understand so they are trying to prove this point.
In anycase if Drau makes this comment after the vastraharan CV's have had it.I want to see fierce and vengeful Drau after vastraharan who keeps encouraging her 'aaryas' to wreak havoc on Kauravas no matter what at least in her promo they showed that so atleast there they should be consistent

@rehanism-

Everything u say is absolutely true ...

They said they are making a Mahabharata with their own interpretation of the text.
They OBVIOUSLY are making the interpretations event by event ... Which is why everyone is so different in every damn scene... Except for some people like Arjun or duryodhan who are ALWAYS good or bad.

Karna's character is the most directionless I agree ... I guess I just have a soft corner for the actor and his acting skills.

today's episode was beyond sad ... I can't even classify it as a joke or even stupid or dumb or lame or foolish or crappy or painful or ... you get the point...

1. We have Draupadi lecturing the Pandavas about why they shouldn't go to war ... I refuse to comment

2. We have Arjun running 100s of miles to get to his frickin' bow, whereas the other Pandavas just grabbed their weapons from their chariots!! Ship! Was there no parking near the front? Oh wait, it's an empty desert ... how can there not be parking!!

3. We saw the pre-postMahabharat with everyone walking around the dead bodies and feeling sad ... really CVs .. really. Oh my goodness ... how will the Pandavas justify the war if wifey got upset

3a. ok I have to ask -- how did Yuddhi know that these people weren't dead? He coolly tells Draupadi "babes, there's nothing to cry about. This is all maya. They will recover when the snakes that bit them takes back the poison" (not sure if that's an exact translation or if it is supposed to mean any snake... but if it is the former case - what if they killed the snake that bit a person?)

4. Draupadi freaks out over the death of innocent ... well it's official .. the mahabharata war wasn't fought for Draupadi ... heck I don't even know what role Draupadi is supposed to be playing in the overall serial!!

5. Takshak? I saw Kaliya Naag ... šŸ˜† Only difference is that this isn't the Yamuna, this isn't Vrindavan, and there isn't supposed to be a Takshak!!!

6. All it took was one arrow from Arjun to make Takshak bleed like crazy ... why didn't he just fire 5 arrows ... one for each head and be done with it...

7. Bhim consoling Draupadi was funny. I would have been like "SHUT UP and STOP CRYING" .. ok maybe I wouldn't say those words since it's Pooja and all🤪 ... oh leave me alone...

8. Vrushali holding the snake was funny. wait ... how did she even catch it .. why not just put it on the ground and stomp on it ... or was that too hard...

9. The precap obviously shows Arjun taking on his father Indra.. so what changes between now and MB war... is it because Arjun has more a relationship with Bhishma, Drona, Dury, etc. that he doesn't want to fight?

10. This is another precap question: We see Arjun shooting an arrow at a mountain or large stone or something and he manages to break it into smaller pieces, but it still crushes him (Here is where Draupadi screams "Arya") ... ok ... we saw a similar thing happening when Arjun entered the Rangbhoomi ... except that time he was unaware of what was going to happen ... and as quick as lightening he built a canopy of arrows over his head. So I just don't understand what the chips is going on!!!

Sigh ... CVs are distorting their own story now... can it get any worse?

11. Before I forget - we see flying snakes... so why not just spew the venom ... why do them have to bite ... why not just spew the saliva (think salivary glands). Speaking of which ... if snakes can fly... why not capture a bunch of snakes, de-venomize them, and strap them on to your feet and have them take you places ... a personal jetpack!!

1. We have Draupadi lecturing the Pandavas about why they shouldn't go to war ... I refuse to comment Lets just hope she doenst give this lecture after her vastraharan dont want her to become a yudi 2.0

2. We have Arjun running 100s of miles to get to his frickin' bow, whereas the other Pandavas just grabbed their weapons from their chariots!! Ship! Was there no parking near the front? Oh wait, it's an empty desert ... how can there not be parking!!The sight of Gandivdhari arjuna running around while people around him were dying was a sight to behold but the other pandavas also didnt make me proud since they wernet able to save anyone

6. All it took was one arrow from Arjun to make Takshak bleed like crazy ... why didn't he just fire 5 arrows ... one for each head and be done with it... My question is why was Takshak just standing there or sitting there why didnt he do something seemed like he was just waiting for arjuna to come shoot his arrow pretty weak opponent

8. Vrushali holding the snake was funny. wait ... how did she even catch it .. why not just put it on the ground and stomp on it ... or was that too hard...That scene was 🤣

11. Before I forget - we see flying snakes... so why not just spew the venom ... why do them have to bite ... why not just spew the saliva (think salivary glands). Speaking of which ... if snakes can fly... why not capture a bunch of snakes, de-venomize them, and strap them on to your feet and have them take you places ... a personal jetpack!! (idea patented by Shyam09)Snakes that could fly without any wings.Wingless flying snakes
