@bold- Ditto friend. I liked Shaheer too as Arjun but there were some scenes where I thought he could've done better especially with Panchali but then I thought it could be the way it was written or directed😆
Ik I'm being biased but after Krishna I loved Arjun and then Karn❤️. So don't blame me🤣😆😵
@red- Exactly none of them can be replaced for me, everyone was perfect. My grandfather was watching the old MB on DD the other day and he asked me to watch it with him. Trust me all I was doing was trying to find flaws in every character and picturization. Moreover,I couldn't connect neither enjoy it as I enjoyed the old Ramayan and the only reason I could think of now is SP's MB holds a special place in my heart❤️.
P.S Coming to Sahdev's character even I found him distinct in the beginning. I guess it was due to his weird wig which didn't suited him at all. Infact his mukut(crown) was too chamakdar,do notice it!! While towards the end when the actor's hair grew long it looked okayy too me..And Sahdev did nothing except making fun of Bheem & Nakul, getting purabhaas vibes and also killing the real ludo oops chausar master Shakuni🤣

With Panchali? 😳 Panchali ke saath scenes hi kahan tha? 😆😆 In fact I liked whatever gine chune scenes he had with Pooja. I found him bad in all those crying scenes during the war 😆 During Bhisma's bed of arrow scenes....and after killing Karn....the way he was crying holding Karn's hands....I found him really odd in these 2 scenes. But rest I found him pretty fine actingwise. I mean... I am not saying he is very brilliant or best of the best actor...but he was fine for television standard as far as I am concerned. I have watched way way more awful actors than him 😆😆 And lookswise....I don't think I can even imagine anyone else as Arjun anymore. His looks & personality really suited Arjun imo. Anyway....that's my opinion. It's okay if others don't agree. 😆

About old Mahabharat...dude I can't 😆 I am not insulting the old Mahabharat. Story wise I think that one was more authentic. At least my Mom thinks so. And I know how much SP distorted the story. So yeah probably she is right. But the look & feel of that show....It's just not watchable to me. I mean no disrespect, but their costumes, jwelleries etc...looks very weird to me. And the actors playing the pivotal roles....they might be better actors (I have no idea)....but lookswise they look a bit oldie oldie to me 😆 I think I am a typical case of generation gap & how easily today's bacche can be swayed by grandeur & technology 😆😆

As for Sahadev, dude. They totally murdered the character. So the actor didn't have much scope to do anything really. Chalo at least SP still gave him the credit of killing Shakuni.😆

well in that case they could have just asked their kingdom back from dury in place of freeing him from gandharvas

That's the difference between Yudhistir & Duryodhan na? Duryodhan would have surely done that had the positions reversed. But Yudhistir helped them because helping the helpless is Dharm. And the moment he would have asked anything in return, it wouldn't have remained help, it would have turned into a trade. So Yudhistir let them go. By doing this he showed even when he has the upper hand, he doesn't abuse the situation. And this stark difference between how Yudhistir behaved in this incident & how Duryodhan behaved in the dice hall, actually felt humiliating to Duryodhan.

initially when i saw the promo i thought shaheer was going to play nakul😆. he was quite lean n young looking in navya. i was like arjun is going to look so young. Also both the lead actors were not good actors in navya. But when i saw shaheer with SRJ as kirishna i understood the casting. Shaheer -sourabh have the best aesthetic chemistry. they both were wonderful as Parth -Madhav. The scene where Arjun sees Rukmani painting morpankhs was says that dialogue of him thinking that morpankhs looked beautiful to him because they were on madhavs mukut. he could make us feel madhavs presence even though he was not there in the room. Shaheer did improve tremendously as an actor in MB, by the end of the show he got his voice modulation right too. I agree that they made Arjun too much of a cry baby who cried at everything.
Ive watched BRC MB as a kid and now as its airing ive seen 1-2 episodes when they are in vanvas the screenplay and effects are better here. the dialogue delivery better in ⭐️MB . arjun -yudi almost look similar there i get confused as to who is who😆. Abhimanyu looks like an adult. Acting ka i dont know why people say BRC is better. maybe i need to watch few previous episodes. i want to know how is the chemistry between Madhav parth there. ⭐️ MB they had good chemistry though they underutilised it, some madhav parth scenes were given to krishna-draupadi . For me Madhav parth chemistry is important. they were soulmates

I have no idea how Shaheer was pre-MB or how he is now post-MB. I just saw him in MB & except few handful of scenes, I found him satisfactory. And the looks....well tell me about it 😆 Even I thought ye kya ho gaya...in this MB Arjun is the most handsome, not Nakul 😆😆 But I don't wish him to play Nakul either. His looks, personality etc have suited Arjun pretty good imo. Just they needed to find someone more handsome for Nakul 😆😆

As for Parth - Madhav ❤️❤️ Dude....they stole my heart ❤️❤️ The Murli - Manohar song & their bonding ❤️❤️ Though the whole Rukmini Haran part is a severe case of distortion & messed up timeline...but I couldn't help but love the Parth - Madhav duo in it. And thereafter too. I really loved Sau-Sha as Parth - Madhav.

About BRC MB, well read my previous comment. I can't type that much again 🤣
