Chandragupta Maurya

Hello,

I really like Chandragupta Maurya.. Not just a follower but am wholeheartedly into it. I would humbly request you to start it again. Really. Please. My life revolves around Chanakya's words. Every now and then I read about it but wish to view it. Words, Visuals, acting is AMAZING. I have never seen a show like this. This is my one and only show, I can watch a million times. My whole family is into it. Only Indian show we are all attached to. Please restart the show. Beg of you.

Thank You.

One of the best TV series ever been broadcast in Indian television. Story, Direction, Acting everything about this TV series is just great. What I love most about the program is true and very deep depiction of the Indian Philosophy of Karma Yoga. Being a Yogi, I wonder how the writer of this TV program understood all these intricacies of philosophy. While writing this review I really fall short of genuine words of Admiration.

This Chandragupta, unlike the latest one, was so good and accurate. The displayed Chandragupta's character very nicely, shown as a respectful disciple of Chanakya, and every episode was very interesting until he grew up. The actors are very well-chosen.

In India, Television is stagnant. The youth are bombarded with daily soaps with women planning,plotting and scheming to snatch something away in a large business house. A story is stretched until the grand daughter of the protagonist does not reclaim her honor and love. And for the umpteenth time, these people want you to keep believing that the grandest and most important occupation for all noble people in the country is to keep crying and shouting over spilled tea, property disputes,lost love and so on.

Frankly. There is so much more to life than that,Indians!

Few times does it happen that a guy like me puts away his 'Peaceful Warrior','Batman Begins' and other movies to catch a show on Indian television. And by god,it was this show. Blown away in each and every episode by the music, the dialogs, the action, the intensity and the wisdom of Chanakya. The early texts on one of the greatest Indian kings Chandragupta Maurya (1st) and his mentor Chanakya transcend into a highly inspiring, thrilling and deeply moving TV series. Performances of lead actors(especially Manish Badhwaa as Chanakya) including the kid Chandragupta are fantastic!

Out of the 105 episodes, the first 50 are impeccable. Beyond these, usual tendencies of Indian television intrude a bit. Shoddy graphics, stretched episodes, a side love story distracting our mighty-to-be -king ruin the fun. However the show soon recovers, bringing in brilliant diplomacy tactics, espionage and so on. (No it's not a copy,it's original from Chandragupta historic texts and the writer of the show) For the dismal Indian youth searching for inspiration in movies and Manga, this is a must watch.

Chandragupt Maurya was the real hero of our Indian History. When Chankya met him first time then he was a slave.

Chankya got very much impressed with his determination and leadership.

And Chankya decided that Chandragupt could be the Emperor of the United India. Because Chandragupt has qualities that a king should have. . . . . . Everone should watch this serial.

This story not only teaches the true essence behind the saying "Brain over Brawn" How a person, just considered as a revolting teacher, with his wits and cleverness not only defeated mighty Greeks and Indian empires, but also raised the slave boy to become the king.
