BRC Karna also was indebted to Duryodhan and did support him many a times unwillingly, however they still showed the friendship as equals, like he saying I dont support this thing and am going on only because you said so.
There was such a beautiful scene when Karna gets to know his Kunti connection, he reaches out to Duryodhan mid night (Dury was sleeping) just to promise his loyalty, Duryodhan was confused as why tell this mid night. But he still continued, and then Duryodhan despite not really understanding what has happened realised that Karna is in mental trauma, he just holds him up without a word. Small scene but so well emoted by both that I still recall it.
Here Karna Scolded Duryodhan at times, even at the end they showed Duryodhan breaking down at his death.
Star Mahabharat just made a mockery of their relation, Duryodhan was mostly mentally manipulating Karna, forcing him to support with one scene where he asks him to let go the voice of his soul for him (BRC one just like real Duryodhan never forced Karna to support him in lieu of his helps), and then saying Karna was a betrayer at his death. I never got any friendship vibe from them
