Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

B.R Chopra's Mahabharat is the most popular epic in India. This is easily the most watched TV series ever in India. This version is perfect in almost every aspect. The screenplay , the star cast everything was just too perfect. There are other versions of this epic available none could hold water against this version. Its not an easy task to make such a big series. The animations are at par with that time's technology especially in India. This is the series you must watch at least once in your life you are an Indian.

This is the best adaptation of an epic ever. Nothing has ever been as emotionally provoking as this series. It is one of those rare works that makes you understand that there is something beyond perfection. Every episode of this series is full of lessons for us. Every episode has been carefully crafted from a philosophical, aesthetic and emotional point of view. The performances never felt like performances, but like actual lives unfolding in front of us. Mukesh Khanna as Bheeshma, Sure draft Pal as Drona, Girija Shanker as Dritharashtra,Nitesh Bhardwaj as Krishna, Gajendra Chauhan as Yudhisthir, Firoz Khan as Arjun, Rupa Ganguly as Draupadi these names are legendary. Nobody can ever take their place. It is apparent that these actors have breathed their characters for the show. I watched this series on YouTube,and I remember watching 4 or 5 episodes back to back unable to wait for another to watch another episode. I had no words to admire the visual scenery, the outstanding camera effects, the poetic moral lessons, the heart wrenching Bhajans (Sabso unchi prem sagar, Kripa Krishna ki, samay Bada Balwan, yeh dharmayudh hai), the powerful narrative and meaningfuly edited episodes. I think every aspiring filmmaker should understand the process of getting the very best of the industry together and getting the best out of them. Despite these uncountable positives, what stands out for me the most is the viewpoint that the series has taken. The victory of good over evil, the need for peace, the end of unfairness...all of these are the need of the hour. Ravi Chopra was bold indeed, not fearing to present the right as the right and the wrong as the wrong. He did not make a series to please character fans. He told the story as it was, without the use of gimmicks. Pure authenticity was his key. And that is what makes this series a masterpiece. If there's one thing you must do in life, it is to watch this series. True, you could read the epic instead. But then you will never know what you have missed.

Thank you sir B.R Chopra and all other cast to introduce us with this Indian epic, don't know if i ever read this epic or Bhagavad-Geeta on my own. When you starts watching it from very first episode might be you would not like it very much but after watching continuously 2-3 episode you will find that you are start liking it and after watching further You will find that You are becoming addicted to it.And after watched completely you would know about Hinduism,meaning of Dharam,Geeta,what actually religion is and its aspects?? and many more things which will be very helpful in every moment of your life.This is for everyone..

Mahabharat directed by B R Chopra, is the Best TV Series Ever Produced on Indian Television.A serial like Mahabharat had neither been produced in the past & can never be produced in Future also.. It has got all the crux of the ancient epic Mahabharat & does full justice to the epic. Don't bother much about the special effects, if you really want to gain some knowledge & wisdom and really want to know the true meaning of Life,Culture,Values and DHARMA, listen carefully to the Dialogues ,they are the best, simple yet worthy, to the point & very interesting. And I assure you that you wont get bored for a single moment in the entire journey spanning 94 episodes of 45 minutes each. Mahabharat has more than enough content to keep you occupied & mesmerized by its contents,its story, its amazing screenplay & dialogs & spectacular performances by Most of the actors.. The actors which deserves special mention are those who played Shri Krishna, Bhishma, Arjuna, Duryodhna, Karna, Vidur & Dhritrashtra.After looking at them, you'll feel that real Krishna, Bhishma etc would have been looked like them only...All actors have made the characters alive. To sum up my review, I would say that that if you haven't seen Mahabharat yet ,then you really have missed a very important & worth watching TV series in your life. I have already seen it twice & seeing it again for the 3rd time & every time I see, I learn a new aspect of Life, Religion & Dharma.. My Vote 10/10.......... :-)
