Kurukshetra

At first, Graphics are pathetic. 3D projection is so blurred and feels awkward to watch also. Direction is outdated. There was tremendous scope to make it as epic as possible. Since, "MAHABHARATA" is an epic. The whole piece of Art has gone for toss. Unnecessary Song sequences doesn't fit into the narration. Dialogue writer has not done a good job. Each and every department had so much scope to give their best. Everything was just half backed. 2* only for DARSHAN's Performance. Otherwise, This movie is a Big let down.

Let me talk about the good things first. The story is told from dhuryodana's perspective. Darshan has done justice to the character. He once again proved that he can pull off negative shade role. As the movie shows different events of Mahabharata in 3hrs time, movie never feels long. Coming to the downside.. Graphics is decent but not comparable to bhahubhali, which Itself is not an amazing vfx film. Film has unnecessary songs to impress mass audience. Duet between Meghna and Darshan, haripriya's Item number, and nikhil's Song is ware of time. Also there is a scene in which ambharish and Nikhil have a conversation, which is used to indirectly praise Kumaraswamy and Devegowda. Which took close to 20 min of the film. Casting was not good. Bhima was not convincing at all. He looked funny while he was showing his anger and aggression. They should have casted theatre artist instead of mainstream actors. I felt if they had made this movie into 2 or 3 parts it could have been better.

Really sad to witness these kind of poorly directed, produced movie with worst dialogues poor technology usage and horrible acting and picturization. It really proves that of kannada movies have really come down. Do not spoil reputation of great epics.

Just because of darshan 5 star. Don't waste your money unless u r darshan fan

The movie looked promising with its star cast. Barring a few performances, it was disappointing. The CGI looked awful in 3D and the lighting poor. Mediocre dialogues and shoddy acting. Only people who did shine are Darshan and Arjun both in terms of acting and dialogue delivery. Overall, it's best to avoid.
