BR Chopra has done a magnificent job of adapting it onto the small screen. It is simply 'the greatest TV series ever created'!!!!! Perfectly created!!!! First of all, adapting the legend of Mahabharatha is itself a monumental task since it is the greatest and the biggest epic ever written on earth.
By far the greatest story ever told, nothing in this world can ever come close to it. However the technical aspects might disappoint you. If you want to feel the true essence of Mahabharat, then this is certainly the right thing for you. The portion of 'Bhagwat Geeta' (the divine song) was also performed with great gusto and in its true spirit. Baring a few, most actors did full justice to the characters they were portraying. The story of Mahabharat is narrated by Time ('Samay') which was kind of nice concept and helped in rushing through the less important details. Series does full justice to the complicated intertwined stories and their sub plots. People not familiar with Hinduism might find this series a perfect introduction to Hindu way of thinking, and its deep rooted beliefs and the social structure of the Hindu society. Its 93 episodes take you through every possible sentiment, every possible emotion, every possible relation that a human mind can fathom. The series though technically lousy, and made with cheapest special effects, ended up doing full justice to the sentiments with which Ved Vyasa compiled the greatest of the epics. Even passers by would get a place in ones living room. People who were fortunate to own a television would play hosts to all the less fortunate neighboring families.
The extent of influence the series commanded on Indian population can be gaged from the fact that during the time of its broadcast streets would get empty, and it would be impossible to find a single living soul at the busiest of the town centers. series ever showcased on Indian idiot boxes. Series Mahabharat produced by B.R.Chopra is the most popular t.v.
