Duryodhana argues that the Pandavas violated the condition of anonymity in their last year of exile, therefore they must spend another 12 years in exile followed by another year of exile in anonymity.

The 94-episode Hindi series originally ran from 2 October 1988 to 24 June 1990 on DD National. Chopra and directed by his son, Ravi Chopra. The music was composed by critically acclaimed music director Rajkamal. Each episode was approximately 45 minutes. It followed the highly successful Ramayan broadcast in 1987–1988. Costumes of the series was provided by Maganlal Dresswala. It was shown in the United Kingdom by the BBC, where it achieved audience figures of 5 million. It was also the first programme broadcast on BBC2 after its 1991 revamp, but had also been shown late at night on BBC 1 the previous year. It has also been shown on FBC TV in Fiji and Star Utsav. Dubbed versions were aired in Tamil, Telugu, and Indonesian in the early 1990s.Īccording to production team member Kishore Malhotra, the total cost of producing the series was 90000000. With great war scenes and maintaining the same momentum I am sure it shall too be the most iconic thing ever to be launched in the history of Indian Television. ![]() To sum it up, this new Mahabharat is the best thing running on Indian television and to those for whom it appears as soap opera should really get a medical check-up of their ability to analyze things properly. On one thing, I would like to really applaud this Mahabharata team is that they even after 2 decades of gap (since the 1st mahabharat was telecasted) haven't diluted the aspect of culture, ethics and practices of Indian tradition which shall have some positive influence on our present day youngsters. ![]() Alongwith that the teachings of Lord Krishna in between the episodes are truly full of wisdom and knowledge for the current generation of young Indians who are torn between the worlds of modernity and traditions. However the actor playing Bheeshm and Lord Krishna are outstanding. As yet of now everyone is acting superbly. I personally like Rajyabhisekh Mantra, Karna's Theme, Parshuram's Theme ,Bheshma's Theme and above all Krishna's amazing flute music. ![]() Moreover the Sets can rival that of Hollywood production while the background score of Ajay-Atul is enigmatic and the hallmark of this series. The negative characters like Dhritrashtra and Shakuni are shown as to how circumstances made them the way they were. Now in this Mahabharat the characters have been treated to quite an extent objectively and have been allowed sufficient space to grow. However as the they pass away things begin to get settled down and the story begins to pick up the right grip/pace. The few episodes in the beginning may have appeared to be like a fast- forward of the story of mahabharat revolving around king shantanu. Although the promos were looking very engrossing but yet this element of doubt was always there. Everyone including myself wondered whether this new Mahabharat by Swastik Production will ever live up to the masterpiece created by BR Chopra more than 2 decades back.
