So will Ekta Kapoor’s Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabharat Ki be able to generate the same hype and viewership enjoyed by the famous adaptation of Mahabahara by BR Chopra for Doordarshan.

The series is being shot on High Definition format and the trailer gives the feel of a high definition video game with special effects never seen before on Indian Television. Another highlight of the new Mahabharat is the costumes which is by Manish Malhotra, noted Indian fashion designer.

I this this serial is not worth the old one, it is having maximum amount of the style & looks around the whole serial.
I watched the few episode of Ekta kapur’s Mahabharat.I am very much depressed to see this serial. It is an AMERICANISED MAHABHARAT so far as costumes are concerned.Are we watching the movie of THE KING ALEXANDER? WHY THE COSTUME OF ANCIENT GREEK HAVE BEEN USED IN INDIAN MYTHOLOGY? In fact there is a contrversy regarding the dress. Nobody have seen what type of dress Arjun usually wore.But IT SHOULD BE WHAT MAJOR PEOPLE HAVE GOT AN IMPRESSION ABOUT THEIR DRESSES.mRS kAPUR SHOULD SEE THE b.R cHOPRA’S mAHABHARAT AND THE OLD FEATURE FILM MAHABHARAT by A.A Nadiatwala acted by Pradip kumar, Padmini and Dara Singh.the looks and posture of the actor and actress are disgusting(Just like modern movie as if in which all are playing the role of mafia don). THIS MAHABHARAT IS VERY HARMFULL FOR NEW GENERATION because we have already seen the previous serial and movie and also read different books on Mahabharat.But most of the children of new generation do not know the story of mahabharat and they have not seen the old serial and movie. So they will have a wrong Idea about the characters of ONE OUR MOST POPULAR EPIC.
It is my request to each and everybody who are watching Ekta Kapur's Mahabharat to raise voice against the telecast of this horrible AMERICANISED STYLE OF INDIAN MYTHOLOGY.It is very much harmful to our children. The looks and dresses of the actor and actresses are like a westernised mafia don. The costumes are just like ancient Greek. The standing style, the way of dialogue throwing of the actors are as if they have come to a disco club. The most horrible is DRAUPADI. Oh my god! toal westernised face.sHE IS JUST SHOUTING.hORRIBLE ACTING.
What a horrible widow dress Satyabati and Amba are wearing.It is just like wedding dress of a English lady.Ekta Kapur is fully influenced by AMERICAN CULTURE which she has focused on one of our Great epic like MAHABHARAT, SHAME, SHAME. Did Ekta Kapur read all these comments of public. She should read.
Where is the long moustache of Santanu, Bhishma, Kans, Duryodhan? Does Ekta Kapur know that Moustache was the prestige of a Khatriya Raja? or she wants to write a new Mahabharat in westernised style? ankit said so what the ppl are wearing and hw they are looking. That means in ankit's opinion santanu can easily wear jeans and tea shirt? oh? the style and test of the people may change in course of time.But this change should not be reflected in our mythology. the face make-up of Vishma, shantanu,duryodhan, and kans are just like a actros and actrsses of enghlish cow boys movie. Horrible .
What a horrible face of Dhritarastra.Totally AMERICANISED FACE.Ekta kapur's Mahabharat is insulting to one of our great epic.Probably mr Ankit and Mr Rajguru have no idea about this epic. The selection of actor,the costume, the way of acting, all are fully westernised. That is why I am against the telecast of this sereial.It is harmfull to our new generation.
i loved that show why is 9x not previewing it nowadays i want the new mahabharat back with the same impact again
what i wnt frm th 9x chnel to do is that it must broadcast this nw mahabharat once againas it has touched our heart and soul,me myparents andmy school frids hav likd it lot so pl do broadca it
Based on Previous Annonymous comments, you can see why Indian movies or drama's do not go into overseas market.Its being ransacked and destroyed at home right at the shore, before it even hits the harbour.
For gods sake, Instead of commenting on how bad this was, how bad that was, Please for once, lets have a changed mindset.Please take this as a stepping stone in crossing boundaries. Even the Greeks are not complaining when they saw the likes of Clash of the titans, why didnt they made a big hoo hah? Because they are encouraging and they want them to do better, thats why hollywood movies are seen the world over and Indian movies are seen only in certain parts of Asia. Lets start commending the people who take all the trouble, the money, the time, the planning, Let me tell you ITS NOT FREAKIN EASY to make a movie, let alone trying to find someone who will finance it.
Doing something like this, Can be convincing,The main idea is you would want HOLLYWOOD guys to really take a look at this and make it into a full scale epic. What is Star Wars and Lords of the Ring compared to the Mahabharata's storyline, no other epic even comes close to our literature. Seeing it in screen alone is a blessing. Rather than condemning it, I think Indian people should wake up and realise the vast potential opportunity that one day EVERY single person on earth would know about the Mahabhrata and the greatness of hinduism. But seriously, the fastest and best approach to that dream, would be from One super classic epic movie, or Trilogy.
To achieve this, sacrifices need to be done. If the look needs to be very hollywoodish..well so be it...because that will sell, the mass world market people will take it in because of DEMAND. If your going to put your traditional taste into it, only Indians alone will understand and appreciate, But where is your penetration to world market? You need great special effects, u need the extravagant look, you need that 300 Sparta type of look in order for a story like Mahabhrata to sell. If a comic (Batman Dark Knight) that was created mere decades ago can actually have oscar winnings, imagine the rewards INDIA can reap from making a movie out of a holy literature written thousands of years ago. YOU ARE CLEARLY NOT SEEING THE WHOLE PICTURE...You ARE ALL NOT SEEING THE ULTIMATE POTENTIAL !!!
