dont think this Mahabharat is meant to last more then 6 to 8 months, considering the fast pace that it is going, the makers are touching the important aspects that have occurred and how one incident invariably lead to another, and ultimately the fall of Hastinapur,
considering the technology used to create this serial is incomparable to any other television show in india or abroad. the out door shootings for many scenes are used, if they have the carry this serial for 2 to 3 years the quality will drop drastically and people witll stop taking interest. look what happened to Ekta's Mahabharat, it ran for around 4 to 5 months, only to go of air,
I dont think the makers are looking at this venture as a long time bases. but more as a retrospection of old values in relation to are every day lives. they are reintroducing it for the newer and younger audience, so that they too can get in touch with these values that older people have been brought up with.
i love the little snippets of Krishna appearance and the message he delivers. i loved the part where he talks about parenting, that parents want to secure their children's futures and forget about molding the present characters, this is so prevalent in our society today.
i love the message of how ambition can ask for a very high price, more then you are willing to give in the future. and how the uncontrolled selfish ambition of only one person can lead to the downfall of an entire nation.
and as for the actors, it think they are doing a good job, not many of them have long parts to play as the story is moving at a fast pace, king Shantanu was only there for 3 episodes, all the main character have not even introduced yet, some article are saying epic failure even before the story has even started.
yes so Krishna has fair complexion, Saurab played Vishnu in Mahadev, and vishnu too has been depicted to have dark complexion, but nobody complained there, and really who cares about complexion, this Krishna is eye candy, his eyes speak volumes, and he smiles is so benevolent its like having god smile at you. he has beauty and grace, that is associated with Lord Krishna and that works for me.
the special effects are of top class, not to mention the costumes, they remind me of the old Amar Chitra Katha comic books i read 30 years back when i was a child. even in those the women were depicted as sensual, and men muscular. and its a treat to the eye. you wouldn't see better special effects even in a bollywood movie. and here they are Awesome
and besides the characters with the meatier roles have yet to be introduced, and that would be worth a watch, to see how todays actors portray the ancient characters of a whole different era. when men were not ordinary and Gods walked the earth.
I think this Mahabharat is brilliantly conceptualised. and i absolutely love it. even if it lasts six to eight months i will watch each and every episode without fail
oh and in not hindu so i am not bias. i just love a well told story and the Mahabharat is one of the best stories ever told.
