I've only watched a few early epis of this show....
And I agree with a lot of the points that have been made about the clothing, the tampering with the original story, and strange characterizations.
For me personally, the biggest eyesore in this show is that Mama Shakuni....HORRIBLE casting....he looks like a caricaturish clown! And the over the top acting and all is even more ugghh!
And like someone just said, the clothing etc. wouldn't even matter much if the storyline was good and the characterization was done properly...but no, Ekta had to go ahead and use her time tested formulas of OTT villians, zooming camera angles etc....the works.
Someone posted clips of the old MB here and just watching one clip made me appreciate it a million times more than this farce of Ekta's....even the sidey actors in that MB were better than some of the main leads in this show!
Where in God's name did she find the clowns that are portraying the young Pandavas, Kauravas, Pandu etc.....and the actor portraying Dhritarashtra just cracks me up for some reason😆
The only portrayals that have been impressive in this show are Ronit Roy as Bheeshma...he lends a dignity to the character in all the other craziness...and Satyavati...ditto on the dignity. I liked Sakshi Tanwar's Ganga as well, but it got OTT....the young Devrat was good as well....baaki can't say much.
