This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I remember watching it as a kid.We would wait every week for it. Everything was put on hold for it.It's very old school and effects aren't good but it's brilliant nonetheless.Totally recommend watching it. A fabulous series based on an extraordinary epic.

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.

What matters for epics of this sorts when made in serials, is how much justice done to the substance by the script, characters and most of all direction; screenplay is critical as you are expecting viewers to follow this for over ninety episodes, and there Mahabharat won't command anything less than a complete 10. Full marks to the casting and acting, every actor including the not so important ones, have done absolute justice to the character, nowhere you see an actor taking over character; which is rampant in remakes reason enough they fizzle out in first five episodes.Mind you, this is a long story going over 90 full episodes, but not even a single episode is tacky or boring. Mahabharat is a very complicated plot to narrate because of the number of important characters involved in the epic and so many other stories running in parallel, but all this was directed and presented so tactfully and stylishly that it never lose the pace. Every subplot was placed and shown where it became important, rather than going by tricky flashbacks or a chronological screenplay. We can argue endlessly about this being technically not up to the mark but that's not important as this is the beauty of substance if used properly it can definitely make an everlasting impression just like this one. I have watched the complete series twice but even now whenever I watch any episode again, it is as good as ever.

This production is the brainchild of Mr B.R Chopra,which provides a amazingly good insight into Ancient India,the way it talked,walked.....It is a must watch for any human,not just any Hindu or an Indian for that matter.....It inspires one to lead his life in such a way that he/she gets the most out of life and gets to know how life should be spent on this earth...It contains all the emotions that a human can feel..surpassing all the other literatures of the world.......it would suggest everyone to watch it from the beginning although one can watch it from the middle as it succeeds in striking a note even at a very short notice.....
