Mahabharat

This series saved me from falling in depression and pushed me to start my life journey again with much more positive energy. Just wanted more details like old Mahabharat (later watched some episodes on YouTube). I love this Mahabharat 👏🏻 🙏 Jai Shri Radhe Krishna 🙏

anyone who read the Mahabharat book perhaps will feel disappointed with the story, indeed. but one who never read the book before, esp when you lived abroad far from India like me, will love the movie and perhaps wants to read the book after they watch this movie.

we have our own version of Mahabharat which been rewritten and recreated by our ancestors thousands years BCE. as I and several of our people read both Indian/original version and Javanese/Indonesian version of Mahabharat, so we don't mind and regret any improved or updated version of Mahabharat, as long as we can catch the moral message lies within the movie (and the book) itself.

what I love from this movie is their objectives to spread moral values, such as respect the elders, obey your parents, respect for women, teenage bravery to protect their parents,equal rights for low-class people, etc. which are damaged seriously within young and adult generation all over the world these days.

some key actors of Mahabharat enjoyed high appreciation in our country during their tour recently, and i think they worth it, regardless disappointed voices on their acting performance.

I myself would like to praise this movie (BR Chopra's Mahabharat was also aired by our television long ago)as the best version of Mahabharat. a little bit of my disappointment arise due to short episodes on Virataparwan (which should told us more about Pandava's suffering and how they survived), and small appearance of Gathotkacha, regarding this character is adored by kids and adults in our country.

hats off man... you producer,director,scrip writer and actor did great, marvelous job.. love you all..

who the Hel***** is telling that this Mahabharata version is not good... go off if you don't know what to show and what to not....

YOU ARE BEST SERIAL .... YOU ARE AWESOME. YOU DID GREAT JOB. YOU ARE PERFECT SUPERB ACTING BY ACTOR AND ACTRESS. HATS OFF AGAIN love ya all nice work best job love it hope you get BEST TRP in TV show.

The casting is PERFECT!!! I never imagined that I would accept any other actor in those roles after watching B R Chopra's Mahabharat. But I was wrong.. In this Mahabharat as well, the Casting is Superb.. Each and every Actor slips into his / her character and looks perfect... Especially, the actors playing Krishna, Bheeshma,Dronacharya, Dhrutrashtra, Karna, Arjuna. Bheema, Duryodhan looks perfect and enacted their part with aplomb and gusto!!!

Star Plus"Mahabharat"(2013)Is a great... because so many points made it good and more acceptable.

I know our the-original-text-of-Mahabharatha. It is full of a huge history of our Indian HINDU religion and a GLORIOUS knowledge,AND IT is unchangeable and never old and always THE GREAT EPIC..

On the other side, it came out through a TV show in 1988 by B.R CHOPRA. It is a good epic show of MAHABHARATHA..the time was so different and the people's mentality were different,the main point of that great success, it was only 1st time TV show of MAHABHARATHA the limited TV channels were available on that time.

I saw so many people have commented on their reviews that the 2013 Star plus MAHABHARATHA is not good.. I just oppose that : the new MAHABHARATHA is extremely appropriate and acceptable..because the Time has been changed as it is 21st CENTURY, the science and life is too fast, the people is too busy in their work and they have no time, 1000 TV shows are available , all people are modern and so many youth are not believed in supper natural things.. as a consequence, they are detached from our main culture and religious..

As a Result the NEW MAHABHARATHA 2013, is so summarized and meaning full .. though some text have been missed and some text is manipulating but the basic thing is same as the-original-text-of-Mahabharatha.. the Other side it is true the TV shows are not written by VEDAVYASA the director want to represent the main and actual Indian History. A great religious Knowledge he want to represent through the science and good artist.. technology....he did a great job .....

HATS OFF to the makers of this version of Mahabharat !!

I am a BIG fan of B R Chopra's Mahabharat, have seen it 4 times and hence I had never imagined that anyone can match to the level of B. R. Chopra's Mahabharat as that version of great story of Mahabharat was awesome. Each and every character of that Mahabharat is etched in people's mind till date and it is hard to imagine that anyone else can create the same magic on screen with Mahabharat. This fact was reinforced after watching the disastrous and pathetic "Kahani hamare Mahabharat ki" by Ekta Kapoor which was unceremoniously and rightly so was taken off air midway.. But After watching this version of Mahabharat, I am immensely impressed and I thanks the makers from bottom of my heart for bringing this epic story on screen again by doing much more detailed analysis and showing it with the grandeur and magnificence which it demands!!!

The casting is PERFECT!!! I never imagined that I would accept any other actor in those roles after watching B R Chopra's Mahabharat. But I was wrong.. In this Mahabharat as well, the Casting is Superb.. Each and every Actor slips into his / her character and looks perfect... Especially, the actors playing Krishna, Bheeshma,Dronacharya, Dhrutrashtra, Karna, Arjuna. Bheema, Duryodhan looks perfect and enacted their part with aplomb and gusto!!!

An Overall impressive treatment is given to each and every department of show... Story, Screenplay and Dialogues does complete justice to the Epic... The screenplay of this version of Mahabharat is better at many parts as compared to B R Chopra's Mahabharat... Noted Mythologist Devdutt Patnaik is the Special Adviser for story and screenplay and he has done excellent job.. This version gives answers to many questions which left unanswered in old Mahabharta and narrates the story in an altogether new way which really good , entertaining, educative and exciting.

The sets are magnificent and brilliantly designed (Omang Kumar of Devdas & Black fame). It gives the feeling of the great kingdoms of ancient India..

Very detailed attention is given to the costumes, makeup and characterization of each and every character.. thanks to the guidance of Oscar winning costume designer Bhanu Athaiya

The production value, Visual effect, Action Sequences are superb, authentic and engaging... The Dialogues are meaningful and are at par with the level set by Dr. Rahi Masum Raza for Chopra's Mahabharat.. The intuitive use of Krishna in every episode is magical and the speech he gives is very entertaining and highly educative..

Thanks a lot to Team Mahabharat for treating this epic story honestly and with good intentions and Kudos to the entire team and I sincerely hope that the same honest treatment would continue till end of this epic story...
