Mahabharat Episode Discussion Thread #1 - Page 6

I think the people who compare this version to BR Chopra's version need to know that B.R. Chopra's version isn't Ved Vyas' version. He had many mistakes in his version!! Tell your parents this 😆

People who keep saying this didn't happen in the other version etc. need to realise this!

Having said that, I felt everything was good except the storytelling.

People who are complaining that Shantanu is the root of all this also need to know:

Shantanu refused to marry Satyavati taking away his son's rights. It is Devrat who himself made the vow. He didn't ask or tell his father, nor did Shantanu ask him to do such thing!!

My verdict so far is, I am not impressed so far.

I think, what's the point of remaking an old story, if you don't intend on making it better than the original in every way?

Their story telling is weak. Good costume, special effects, set, casting, etc. but weak story telling. They completely cut out Ganga and Shantanu's marriage and Shalya (Amba's prince).

Also Devrat's promise was made to Satyavati's father not Satyavati.

This show is really good!

hi
just saw the 2nd episode. i think CVs are tring to make a 'serial drama' mahabharat.
why are they trying to potray the feminine characters this way???
amba was never arrogant or cruel( the burning of crop fields was totally OTT), only outspoken.  if this her character shown how will they justify her meekness to be kidnapped by bheesma??
and the way satyavati spoke to bheesma... does she understand the sacrifice he made for her???not acc to star plus version, it seems.
is star plus promoting feminism or vampisim?
i am a bit dissappointed.

hi

on a plus side i did like the bheeshma pratigya scene. the actor is good!

P.s. the end discourse by krishna was good , but He making pots🤣

bheeshma not having children would be deprived of his last rites but mahalaya month is the month where there is exception to tis rule. hemce the ichha mrtityu boon.
