After the first episode that was telecasted last night on 9X at 9 PM, i was sorely disappointed. So it was an uphill task for Ekta Kapoor right from the day she decided to remake the epic.
Its like you cant imagine anyone else in those legendary roles. Every other character right from Duryodhan (Puneet Issar), Arjun (Arjun), Shakuni (Gufi Paintal), Bhim (Praveen Kumar), Dhritrashtra (Girja Shankar), Draupadi (Rupa Ganguly), Karna (Pankaj Dheer), Yudhistir, Nakul, Sahadev and even Drona were just perfect for their roles. Mukesh Khanna was brilliant as Bheeshma, when you think of Lord Krishna the picture of Nitish Bhardwaj in those costumes still comes to mind. The great thing about it was every character seemed to be born to play their role. The epic was aired every sunday morning, for 2 years between 1988 – 1990. I became a fan of Mahabharat mainly due to the spectacular and historic Mahabharat of those good old days directed by B.R.
Was expecting something not just bigger than the previous Mahabharat by B.R. I was eagerly looking foward to Ekta Kapoor’s version of Mahabharath titled Kahani Hamare Mahabharat Ki, so much so that I even paid for an add-on package from Tata Sky just to catch Mahabharat every night from Monday to Thursday. This is not a movie review but the review of a television serial on the epic Mahabharat by Ekta Kapoor.
