Well, what serials show doesn't come to me as a surprise ..A movie  on Karna  too, completely took out  his role in dyut sabha . Instead watch out for more benchmarks to be set in Surya putra Karna serial and have a strong heart 😉 to absorb it ..

Sometimes one thing stuck my mind. If everybody can forget Karna's activity in dice hall then why the same people cannot forget Yudhi's activity 😕 what special punya did Karna perform to make people forgive and forget 😕 and the new serial is surely going to be an addition to all misconceptions non-readers already have

Hmm, I agree. Caste was a big thing those days and they used to follow rules strictly. But I am wondering when exactly Drona taught Karna? After he became Angraj or before that?  Agree about Brahmastra though, that was his aim eventually. 

There is a lot to Karna which I felt wasn't put forth in the two episodes. There were about 3 to 6 curses which all came true during the time of his death. So, I have been reading what the online sites have been saying. As per wiki, Arjuna killed Karna's son by mistake during the war that ensued post Swayamvar between the Pandavas disguised as Brahmins and the other kings attending the swayamvar. That's why Karna wanted to kill him. Also, he wanted to prove that Arjuna's claims of being the sarvoccha dhanurdhar are false. 

Talking of swayamvar reminds me about the rumoured story that Draupadi loved Karna. Found an interesting discussion about it on this page.

Managed to catch the last few moments of the Vidur episode. Coming up next is Ved Vyas, the author of Mahabharata.

the reason  according to me..why karna is sympathised more than he deserves is coz morals and social culture of our country has degraded over a period of time. lying,stealing,killing, is totally acceptable today..something which was unacceptable say 100 yrs ago. so ppl who followed dharma are today seen as abnormal or extra shrewd ppl who had their own ulterior motives in doing so. so thats the reason p's, panchali and even krishna today get undesired hate by many.

there are ppl who believe karna did absolutely no wrong when he lied to parshuram.. he was justified coz if he didn't do so he would have been rejected education by parshuram... while lying to your guru is one of the biggest sin in indian culture.

And the King who spent fun times in friend's kingdom (forgetting that he too had a kingdom somewhere) is not boring. Okay, ghor kaliyug 😆

ok, so danveer karn is absolved of all arrops and is given a clean chit.

well done.👏 the makers of DK have even left behind starbharat in whitewashing the tragic hero.

i hope even my panchali and p's were given this courtesy... instead there were accused of things they didn't even do... wth.

of all the characters in our indian mythos, karna is the most whitewashed one and has been completely converted from almost negative/grey shaded character to almost positive one by these tv serials for god knows what reason... lucky guy.
