This Maha- Movie will revolve around Arjuns' character as someone who wants to do the right thing, it is so comforting to do a character like his valour. It was a big responsibility to play one of the biggest warriors of this epic tale.

Positive Reviews:


Everyone including myself wondered whether this new Mahabharat by Swastik Production will ever live up to the masterpiece created by BR Chopra more than 2 decades back. Although the promos were looking very engrossing but yet this element of doubt was always there.

The few episodes in the beginning may have appeared to be like a fast- forward of the story of mahabharat revolving around king shantanu. However as the they pass away things begin to get settled down and the story begins to pick up the right grip/pace.

Now in this Mahabharat the characters have been treated to quite an extent objectively and have been allowed sufficient space to grow. The negative characters like Dhritrashtra and Shakuni are shown as to how circumstances made them the way they were. Moreover the Sets can rival that of Hollywood production while the background score of Ajay-Atul is enigmatic and the hallmark of this series. I personally like Rajyabhisekh Mantra , Karna's Theme , Parshuram's Theme ,Bheshma's Theme and above all Krishna's amazing flute music.

Coming to performance. As yet of now everyone is acting superbly. However the actor playing Bheeshm and Lord Krishna are outstanding . Alongwith that the teachings of Lord Krishna in between the episodes are truly full of wisdom and knowledge for the current generation of young Indians who are torn between the worlds of modernity and traditions.

On one thing, I would like to really applaud this Mahabharata team is that they even after 2 decades of gap (since the 1st mahabharat was telecasted) haven't diluted the aspect of culture, ethics and practices of Indian tradition which shall have some positive influence on our present day youngsters.

To sum it up , this new Mahabharat is the best thing running on Indian television and to those for whom it appears as soap opera should really get a medical check-up of their ability to analyze things properly . With great war scenes and maintaining the same momentum I am sure it shall too be the most iconic thing ever to be launched in the history of Indian Television . 10/10 for this great work .



Negative Reviews

This Mahabharat is completely Disgrace to our Society, Do Not Watch This As It Has Made The Epic A TV - SOAP Of Ekta Kapoor.

Though The quotes spoken by various character in this Mahabharata are just mind blowing..specially the one spoken by lord Krishna. "He is a fool that practices truth without knowing the difference between truth and falsehood. "

The Serial Itself is not good, it has wrong storyline and misguide the viewer, please do not watch it rather watch the old mahabharata, it is real gem. And There is a facebook Page, "The Real Mahabharat of Sage Vyasa", Rather Read It, It will tell all the mistake in this serial, you have to see its old post and now the page is retelling the original Mahabharat for verified sources and it is wonderful, the lessons are great.

I Highly recommend everyone to STAY AWAY FROM WATCHING this Disgraceful show.

Though The Acting is good, and actors are not to be blame, Story Writer, Producer and Director are the one to be blamed.

I reviewed this 2 Years ago with 10 Stars Later I Realised How Bad This Serial is. So I Now Edited It.
