But then it was the first episode, and Mahabharat is a long journey. Overall, the special effects are eye catchy and don’t seem like a shady low-budget English movie.
Kudos to Star and its head Uday Shankar on supporting such a show which has massive production value (and cost). Siddharth Tewary has managed to bring radiance on screen. But let’s wrap it up by zeroing on some of the high and low points.
Okay…for more on the show…do watch the episode. Devrath is actually the great Mahabharat character Bishma Pitama (will be revealed in tonight’s episode). Next what follows is the anointment of Devrath as the yuvraj of Hastinapur, Satyavati’s angst against the move and the final encounter of Satyavai and Devrath that ends the episode. While talking about action, fight sequence between Devrath (Aarav Choudhary) and the demons is sketched keeping Keanu Reeves’ Matrix in mind and the scene where Devrath faces his father, Maharaj Shantanu also looks promising in terms of special effects (here, the job’s well done). Next the ‘demons attack’ scene on Hastinapur immediately sends signals that it has taken influence from the Lord of The Rings, and though it looks infantile at times, it deserves a clap for attempting something new on TV.
He has to buck up given his character’s importance in the plot (someone needs to push him a bit. Krishna’s introduction with all the colour and grandeur was shot brilliantly, but Saurabh could not do justice to the aura created via his punctured performance. Though he had earlier been a part of mytho serials, he looked visibly uncomfortable and unconfident in the soliloquy scene in Mahabharat. Sayantani as Satyavati and Samir Dharmadhikari as Maharaj Shantanu play their parts well.īut what really disappointed us is the performance of Saurabh Raj Jain playing the much pivotal role of Krishna.
