Mahabharat

I have been watching the "K Mahabharat" from day one and the one thing that has impressed me is the pace and the jazz of the show. I was impressed by the format in which the serial was launched on to the unsuspecting audience. Whoever, would have thought that the story would begin at a point when duryodhan turns the tables on the Pandavas on that dark night. The episode was shot with lots of dark shades and mind you, I am not refering to the colours that were used. It was the intriguing play of light and shadow and the purposeful hiding of the faces.

I am also happy that we are not subjected to the drab songs sung in hight pitch! No offense to the senior singer from Chopra's time , but I prefer the fast music of this visually appealing Mahabharat.

The outfits are cool and the dudes are a treat to look at. Mac as Ved Vyas was a bit too much! But then, he is super cool and brings in the mad element with him, that I enjoy. I must say even the Yashoda maiyya of old times, can skip the maiyya tag! She sure is ok to look at and wears good outfits(so what if she has only one! After all Manish Malhotra ain't exactly cheap) the head bands are certainly more happening than the lopsided and shoddy crowns of past.

The only one aspect of the serial that takes away the charm is the juvenile special effects! Its ridiculous to call it special effects even. Balaji camp needs to hire some good firm soon. Ekta, hope you will do the needful!

Otherwise "Kahani hamaray Mahabharat ki" Rocks!
