Which one ??

Now I realized that distortions is too mild in the context of this show. Maybe we should have a thread to discuss what was shown in accordance with texts. That won't even require research. 😆

I loved Arjun's entry. XD

Just I don't like the actor anymore😆

The only thing I liked here was Karna's entry and Aham's performance. Guy owned the scene.

Vrushali doesn't exist in the epic. 🤣

Abhimanyu was supposed to be one of the fiercest warriors. Here they showed him like he was a wimpy kid who got curious about the war. 🤪

Devdutt Pattnaik's Jaya is lower than even intermediate level. 😆 There's no detail about anything. Till now I didn't read anything that I didn't already know.

There's no mention of Vyasa visiting the Pandavas or him telling about Draupadi. DP has written about a sage named Dhaumya who asked the Pandavas to go to Draupadi's swayamvar in Brahmins' disguise & see what happens. If Draupadi was born to be Arjun's bride, there must be a way Arjun could participate 😕

And also the Karn + Draupadi's infamous suta Putra comment.

And then he explained Draupadi's marriage to 5 Pandavas through Kunti. He wondered whether Kunti didn't retract her words because she sensed there will be sexual jealousy among the Pandavas if only Arjun marries Draupadi & hense stood firm on her words that the 5 brothers should share her.

There's no mention of Vyasa or it being a pre-planned event even in footnotes where as he did put in few interesting points / observations in footnotes in previous chapters. It seems DP was also shipping Arjun x Draupadi😆😆

And looks like the only way to know more about Mahabharata is to read KMG 🤓 Devdutt Pattnaik se na hoga 😆

That is true 😆

But I think Aham and Pooja would have better chemistry

@bold, idk why that line is really funny... 🤣🤣

Btw, I didn't know about this story. Thank you for sharing..😳

Lol yeah 😆 There are actually various versions regarding why the Gandharvas got into fight with Duryodhan. Apparently the lake nearby which the Kauravas camped, were occupied by the Gandharvas. They forbade Duryodhan's camp to use the water of that lake. In some places I read Duryodhan just wanted to use the water for normal uses, in some places it's stated that Duryodhan wanted to bath in the lake with his queens. 😆 So he didn't like these gandharvas forbidding him & he insulted them & boasted about himself. Whichever version you take, it's the typical case of Duryodhan being Duryodhan 😆
