Mahabharat of B. R. Chopra: Discussions/ DT note pg 119 - Page 105

I wanted one good scene between Duryodhan and Karna before the death of the latter. He had interactions with Gandhari, Kunti everyone before death but at least one scene with Duryodhan was so needed here. Irrespective of his conduct and everything, Duryodhan was the most important person in his life and the last interaction that they had was harsh fights with Duryodhan doesn't understanding his feelings. There should have been one sweet scene where they just spent time with each others with confidence

As it is all the after death scenes of his are with the Pandavas imagining him

Karna is always praised as the epitome of friendship (I know he isn't a great friend but he is still considered), but here they made him simply like someone indebted to Duryodhan, he doesn't seem to have any friendly feelings for the latter.

Although I like this show the most among all Mahabharata based shows but the best portrayal of Karna Duryodhan friendship was in Dharmakshetra. That show had them as friends not as

Is Dharmakshetra available on YouTube? I have not watched it. Have heard good things about this show.

People I am slightly confused did Karna actually defeat Yudhishtir and Nakul or is this a distortion?

I thought he had only defeated Bheem among the Pandavas on day 14 when he spared his life rest all the Pandavas including Nakul and Sahdev had defeated him decisively although didn't get a chance to kill him

If he had actually defeated Yudhishtir (I don't think he did), then instead of leaving him at least he should have tried to arrest him. He had promised Kunti the lives of her five sons not their non arrest. Or did he think that once arrested, Duryodhan will kill Yudhishtir! Didn't he have even a slight trust on his best friend that he would spare the life of Yudhishtir on Karna's request especially when the latter is giving the win to Duryodhan?

I have no idea if it's mentioned in BORI critical edition, but it's definitely there in KMG.

He spared Yudhisthir, Nakula and Sahadeva.

Bhima was more of a stalemate.

Did Sanjay avoid telling Dhritrastra all about Kunti visiting Karna ? ..

Obviously..

But then that is hereditary. Remember as a kid Arjun used to call Bheeshm as TatSri instead of calling him Pitamah

Not their fault entirely, their family tree was really complicated to begin with. 😆

Sanjay ki divya-drishti was limited to Kurukshetra Pvt. Ltd. 😆

Kunti met Karna in the outskirts of Hastinapur.

I think though in the texts baad mein kabhi this topic comes up and then Sanjay sees that and tells Dhrity. 😳

In this show they showed Kunti meeting Karna

Although I think Dhritrashtra knew about Karna Kunti relation

Yup, but she met only once right? The second time was an improvisation. 😃
