    Kudos to MAHABHARAT TV series directed by B R CHOPRA. All Indians must watch this TV Serial to understand how people lived in India 3000 years back. Only best way to live the life in this world is live like KRISHNA.

    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.

    It is a must watch TV Series with a lot things to learn. Each Episode is very interesting and brings a new twist ,which makes it more interesting.I enjoyed watching this series about epic war in old Indian times.The story itself"MAHABHARATA" deals with DHARMAS and KARMAS of a human. NOT A TAKE A OATH WITHOUT GIVING IT DEEP THOUGHT. HOW A warrior dies to complete his oath. HOW a man kills his family to complete DHARMA. GEETA a complete bible of dharma by LORD KRISHNA. EKLAVAYA who learned "dhanurvidhya" just because of his passion to it and gifted his thumb to guru as "gurudakshina". every moment learns a new moral. .if you have the time to watch it consistently, and give it your attention. This is a very demanding piece of work-- there are many characters, and many plots going on simultaneously. Stop watching for a few days and you might just forget what was going on. Nevertheless, this is an amazing piece of work, incredibly moving, and affecting like very few works before it. I can't overstate how incredibly emotional the experience of watching it from beginning to end was; the ending, in particular, is a extremely powerful.

    this is to all people associated in the movie business i request producers from bollywood along with the major Hollywood studios like sony,warner brothers,fox movies to recreate the epic "MAHABHARAT" for the big screen.You will do a great favour to mankind as there is none nor there will be another epic as "THE MAHABHARATA" which teaches values and ethics which were relevant not only in the past but are very much relevant in today's time.Hire the best of talents from across the globe with special effects teams from India and abroad and with the epic divided into 3 parts which can be modelled just as the matrix series or the lord of rings trilogy.Mark my words "A FILM MADE ON THIS EPIC WITH THE COMBINE TALENTS OF Hollywood AND Indian FILM INDUSTRY WOULD BE A GREAT SERVICE TO MANKIND AND WOULD GENERATE REVENUES THAT ARE UNIMAGINABLE!!!".
