Mahabharat has been the oldest and most fascinating epic in the history of time and also for many ppl but it hardly caught my attention. I have never seen or read much about the book and like a laymen my knowledge was limited to kayravas, pandavas, druapdi vh, war, draupadi married to 5 pandavas and danveer karna. I am neither too devotional and nor do i have much interest in mytho but then i saw the first promo and it just wowed me. Krishna sitting on a tree with flute and i decided to give it a try for sometime.
I was impressed by the locations, costumes and the grand scale on which the show have been shot.This is indeed the first time i have seen mahabharat in totality and though initially i watched it for time pass but i never realised when i got attached on to it.I have never missed a single episode apart from few times due to some external factors.As i started watching it i enjoyed it coz i couldn't pin point at distortions and in a way that was good too.
The actors of this show have played a great role in me getting attached to the show and even despite distortions and dragging sometimes the performances have kept me hooked .Right from the moment krishna started narrating the story and his seekh in every episode was something i used to literally wait for.
I didn't come to forum earlier and it was during the vh sequence that i started coming here and i regret not being active from before. This forum has many intelligent ppl who have a vast knowledge of epic and i thank all of them from the bottom of my heart as their posts , citations have really enriched my knowledge regarding the epi and also created an interest in me to read about it.i have really enjoyed reading many os and short stories on different characters of mb here from many wonderful writers and i thank them too for their creativity and also the time they have taken out to write.
This show has the best star cast and all the actors have done a brilliant job in playing their characters. It is their hardwork and dedication that ppl have loved all of them so much. I use to watch many shows and have left them in between when i didn't like the story and mb is the only show in recent times that i have watched completely and it despite distortions was far superior to many shows on all the channels.
The music of this show have been a great highlight as i loved all the bg's, songs and instrumentals for the characters.The music director deserves the accolades for a job well done.
for the actors---
SRJ----
He is the face of krishna for me. No one else could have played it better then him.He has brought me closer to krishna and each and every scene of his have been my favourite. The variety of expressions he has brought playing kanha---the naughtiness, playfulness, his smile , the anger and the way he consoled many characters alongwith the tears and pain when he talks about the condition of women were just perfection personified.. The set , the flute , the bg for krishna and swayam vichaar kijiye alongwith all the songs for him were awsum. As sid tiwary rightly said he was born to play krishna! He has been exceptional and i am really gonna miss him a lot. I hope he gets good projects after this coz he deserves it and he is immensely talented.He has lived as krishna!
POOJA----
Firstly thanks to sid tiwary for choosing her to play draupadi. I have said it before and i am gonna say it again it's been a long time i have seen an actress like her on television! she had made me cry many times in this show and i hardly cry watching tv shows coz i seriously feel they lack emotional connect.All the scenes b/w krishna and draupadi are my favourites. She has given many memorable and unforgettable performances and she has actually outdone herself many times in the show. I would never forget her dragging to rajya sabha...it gave me goosebumps.It's hard to believe this is her first show. She looked beautiful as draupadi. Her body language, expressions, dialogue delievery and voice modulation habe been perfect. I am gonna miss her like hell and hope she comes back soon. Love u pooja and she was indeed living draupadi.
PRANEET----
I didn't knew that praneet was so young and portraying such a difficult character at such young age is indeed epic for him too.I have enjoyed watching him as shakuni mama specially the way he used his hands and eyes for his character. He is another shining star in this mb.I would never forget his mere bacche and his samraat prassan ho dialogue which he said in many different ways in dice game sequence be it sarcastic, frustrated, shrewd and anger. His death seq too have been entertaining and his scenes with krishna were thoroughly enjoyable.
SHAHEER----
he was the only one who i thought was a misfit in the show. this is the first show of shaheer which i saw and initially i was okay with him. Gradually as the show progressed i started liking him for the improvement he was showing. shaheer has become a better actor and has improved by leaps and bounds in this show. all his scenes with krishna were amazing right from the first meeting to kurukshetra.I loved him most during geeta gyaan, with abhimanyu and jaydrath seq .He has done justice to the character of arjuna and i am looking forward for his new character.He looked perfect as arjun and it would be hard to imagine him w/o gandiv.
AHAM----
He was outstanding as karna. He too have shown a great improvement during the course of show and for me the most memorable performance of his would be the scene with krishna during time freeze and his finding out truth about kunti.He too has a long way to go.
ARAV-----
i loved him as bheesham. he makes for a hot granfather.He too have been amazing and i wish him all the best too.
ARPIT---
He looked perfect as duryodhan. If there was anyone who coulld have played it ...it was him. He was awsum as dury.
SAURAV---
He was fab as bheema and he too have shown tremendous progress in the show. i have enjoyed watching his scenes with all his brothers and his most fav performance for me would be during dushy vadh.
Shafaq, reeya, veebha, rohit, vin,anoop, ankit and all the other i have missed have been great in their performances.
I wish each and every actor of mahabharat all the best for their future projects. Hope they get more fame, name and appreciation.They climb higher on the ladder of success.It indeed have been the journey of life time for all of them. They have all played iconic and epic characters and nothing could be bigger then this!
Also i want to thank all the creation makers , vm makers for such amazing and beautiful creations and also to many others who have kept and maintained various threads in the forum.
special thanks to moderators for maintaining peace in forum for a large extent compared to other forums which turn into a war zone.
i still can't believe today is the last episode and we wouldn't be watching mb anymore. It was fun to come here after episodes and take part in discussions, bash cv's and crib about all the things.
Lastly i want to thank sidharth tiwary and star plus for giving us mahabharat.
I will miss mahabharat a lot and it indeed is very hard to goodbye to it and hopefully forum would remain open.
One last THANK YOU to all the wonderful ppl on forum , star plus , sid tiwary and all the actors of show. Edited by MS-meghasharma - 11 years ago
