This show is way too rushed! - Page 4

Janaki Couldn't have agreed with you more.The show is way too Rushed and Believe it or not..There are people who have completely forgotten some stories associated with MB .It simply is because of the fact its been 25 years since BR chopra 's MB which everyonegrew up watching and MB ain't an Epic which is read and re-read at homes on a regular basis to keep the track brushed in the minds of people.So THE COMMON PEOPLE AND THERE ARE MANY WHO AREN'T ABLE TO JOIN THE DOTS SO QUICKLY.I have several of my friends from other countries too clueless about the tracks and are trying hard to follow the story line..SO THIS ASSUMPTION THAT PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THE STORY WELL is not feasible. Only people who are well versed with the epic can understand the story at the pace with which it is moving..Sorry to say but the storytelling is based on an ASSUMPTION that everyone knows the story which is Hilarious.25 years is a long time and Common people have indeed forgotten the interwoven stories..
So Disappointed...I can follow because I have curiosity and I read and Google What about others who watch without caring to read beforehand ??AGAR PADH HI LENA HOTA TO MB KYUN DEKHEIN ??

Agree! The makers seem to be in a hurry that they are missing some of the important parts. It was never Satyavati who demanded to be the rajmata but her father wanted her to be the rajmata otherwise she would have no less than a dasi (according to Satyavati's father)
Also they did not show Vedvyas. Everything seems to be in a rush.
I think their main focus is the Mahabharat yudh only. Hope the show improves with time.

The dasi part happened due to this - since Dhritarashtra was born blind, Satyavati asked Ambika to have another son from Vyasa. But Ambika was too scared and didn't want to appear b4 him a 2nd time, so she sent a dasi, disguised as herself, to Vyasa. This dasi had no issues w/ Vyasa, and as a result, gave birth to Vidura

Here People are saying that New mahabharat makers are in a hurry, but I do not find this they are not in a hurry at all...If they are in a hurry then they should not show the dramatized events happened in life of Amba... I feel many unnecessary things have been shown to dramatise the events (though it is gr8 to watch such an action pact thing as if we see the same without thinking of Mahabharat then it is interesting) I want to point out events which I feel has not occurred in Mahabharat still shown to dramatise. Please comment on views.

1. Golden fish event
2. Rakshash event to show the entry of Bhishma
3. Panchaal giving mrityu dand to Vichitraveer
4. Vichiteveer showing drunk and spoilt person
5. Crops burning by Amba
6. Refusal of Parshuram
7. Bhishma calling sun god and threatening him to give vichitraveer's life
8. Suicide threat by Amba to Parshuram
9. Irritating look by Satyavati on Vidur's birth
10. Amba crossing sea / river to convey war invitation from Parshuram.

So on...🤣

Agree! They are showing unnecessary scenes and missing out important events.

But wasn't all the three kids born on same day..so how did they knew earlier only that dhritrashtra is going to be blind..

Since vedvyasa was called up by Satyavati..he had been in an intense 'tapasaya' for a long time & was scary to look at..when ambika saw him she had closed her eyes & when ambalika looked at him she shivered as she got scared badly (during niyog). Vedvyasa informed about the same to satyavati & said that one child might be blind & the other one might be weak. So Satyavati sends the dasi also for niyog as she didnt want to take any chance as far as raj singhasan was concerned.

No - they were born apart. Ambalika was impregnated after Dhritarashtra was born - so at least 10 months later. After sickly Pandu's birth, Satyavati approached Rishi Vyasa for a third (and final opportunity, as per Niyog rules) She waited until Ambika regained her fertility, but Ambika sent her maid instead. This means that Vidura was born approximately 2 years (or more) after Dhritarashtra. Remember that breastfeeding also suppresses fertility, and if D was breastfed for a year and a half - Ambika would have had to wait till she became fertile again. Mahabharat distinctly says that "When Ambika resumed having her monthly cycles, she was approached by Satyavati to consider bearing another child"

thanks. i did not know all these technical aspects were involved in niyoga

I so agree. They are rushing through some parts, while paying unnecessary attention to others. Amba has been given way too much attention, so much footage on how she reached Parshurama's cave, how she waited outside, how she convinced him, blah blah blah.

And then they cut down more important parts of the story like Ved Vyas, how is he Satyavati's son, why was Dhritrashtra born blind, Pandu anaemic, and Vidur perfect? People who haven't read the epic will be left scratching their heads.

The writers need to slow down, and pay attention to parts which are important, right now everything is way too haphazard.

Now that they have completely skipped the details as to why the daasi was sent in the first place (they didn't even mention D's blindness), here are my two cents regarding the portrayal of the following scenes (apologies for the lengthy post).
