What a brilliant show, watch it and you will understand entire Mahabharat saga.

I was sick and tired of the pathetic attempts at Mahabharat by Ekta Kapoor and her ilk. But this show comes as a unique take on the scripture. The strength of the show is the amazing script and dialogues, and how they bring out the unknown and not so popular stories from the epic. I had so many questions after watching BR Chopra's Mahabharat (which I consider at par with Lord of the Rings). Why did Krishna not stop the war, why did Yudhistir bet his brothers and wife in the gamble, was Duryodhan a selfish friend who used Karna for his own good, etc etc. The show answers all these questions basis actual stories from the scripture. An absolute must watch for all. Another show I would recommend is Upanishad Ganga from Doordarshan (now on Youtube)

Loved the concept and unique take on Mahabharat. People criticising for small details should consider the bigger picture and message the entire concept is trying to convey. Hats off to the writer for brilliant concept!!!

I have learnt that, our actions do have a reaction and you have to face the consequences of it if not in this birth but in the forthcoming births. You cannot escape it. This was clear through the narratives.

The arguments and counter arguments are convincing and appear reality. They clear lot of our doubts as well.

Actors have also done a great job. Direction screenplay verything is to the point.

Growing up in India, it was hard not to watch and get influenced by the original Mahabharat series. While it was great, it never got too deep into explaining why certain actions were taken by the main characters and their backgrounds. This series fills the gap. It breathes a new life into the epic and takes it to the next level. I don't know anyone who has not liked this series. It's brilliance is in it's theme and writing. The actors are mostly good, Suyodhana/Duryodhana is the best of the lot and makes you think twice about the preconceived notions about his evil nature, and instead makes you feel bad for him. I can't think of another mythology being dissected and explained in a manner like this. This is a binge watch. Wish there was another season. The writers deserve an award.

Brilliant show. A completely new and different take on Mahabharata, from the perspective of different characters. I love the actors, casting and everything is so right.
