Production[edit]
According to production team member Kishore Malhotra, the total cost of producing the series was â¹9 crore (US$1.3 million).[5]Nitish Bharadwaj was chosen by B R Chopra, Ravi Chopra, (screenplay writer) Pandit Narendra Sharma and (dialogue writer) Rahi Masoom Raza, to play the central role of Krishna, at the age of 23.[6][7] Firoz Khan was chosen to portray the character of Arjuna (which he later adopted as his screen name, to not become confused with a more popular actor of the same name) despite being rejected in auditions.[8] Praveen Kumar was selected to portray Bhima after Chopra was looking for someone 'who could look the robust mythological character'.[9] Around six actors were shortlisted for the role of Draupadi, including Juhi Chawla, who opted out of the show as she had bagged a film. Ramya Krishnan and Roopa Ganguly were the final names, and at last Roopa Ganguly was chosen, as her Hindi was good. Govinda (actor) and Chunky Pandey were signed for the role of Abhimanyu, but they opted out when they bagged films. Later, Master Mayur played the role.[10]Raj Babbar and Debashree Roy were the only two star actors of that time, who agreed to be parts of this venture.[11]

Reception[edit]Mahabharat Episode 191 Hotstar
Lavanya Mohan of The Hindu in her article 'Retelling of Mahabharata on Television over the years' wrote 'The version that left the maximum impact on me is BR Chopraâs. Yes, the sets were gaudy, the effects comical, and the acting got a little too dramatic at times, but the writing and the way the episodes were paced ensured that the series was ahead of its time.'In common with the 'Ramayana' serial, the broadcasting of a Mahabharat episode was associated with the simultaneous emptying of streets in the cities and people leaving work early to watch it.[22]
Home media[edit]
The series was uploaded onto the website 'Rajshri.com' along with its dubbed Tamil version.[23] Home video of the Bengali-dubbed version of this series has been released by Heart Video.[24]

Mahabharat is an Indian mythological[2] series based on the ancient Indian Sanskrit epic Mahabharat.[3][4][5][6][7] It aired from 16 September 2013 to 16 August 2014 on Star Plus.
It was produced by Swastik Productions Pvt. Ltd starring Saurabh Raj Jain as Shri Krishna, Shaheer Sheikh as Arjun, Pooja Sharma as Draupadi, Aham Sharma as Karna, Arav Chowdhary as Bhishma, Arpit Ranka as Duryodhan.
Plot[edit]
Mahabharat presents the story of Hastinapur, a kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan where the Kaurav and the Pandav brothers compete for its throne. Yudhistir, the eldest Pandav, and Duryodhan, the eldest Kaurav claim to be the next in the line of succession.The Pandavs are the sons of Pandu while Kauravs are the sons of Dhritrashtra.
The story begins with Devavrata, the son of Shantanu and Ganga a disciple of Parshuram. He earns the name Bhisma by swearing an oath of celibacy in order to fulfill his fatherâs wish to marry Satyavati. He also vows serve the throne of Hastinapur and is granted the boon of icchya-mrityu (the ability to live as long as he does not choose to die). Thus, Bhisma gives up his rightful throne and Satyavati rules the kingdom as the âRajmaataâ (Mother of the King) after her husbandâs death. Her son, Vichitravirya, an alcoholic and heavily dependent on Bhisma, cannot rule the kingdom, leading Satyavati to decide that Vichitraviryaâs future son must rule the kingdom. As Vichitravirya is incapable of choosing a wife for himself, Bhisma has to do so.
The three princesses of the Salva Kingdom, Amba, Ambika and Ambalika are won over by Bhisma, who takes them to Hastinapur to be married to Vichitravirya. However, Amba had already chosen a groom and demands to be released. She returns to her lover but is spurned for being the rejected wife of another man. Vichitravirya then marries Ambika and Ambalika.
When Amba demands justice, she is given the choice to marry Vichitravirya and become the queen of Hastinapur. Instead, she requests that Bhisma marry her as it was he who won her. However, Bhisma refuses, due to his oath of celibacy, resulting in Ambaâs anger. Therefore, Lord Shiva grants Amba the boon of rebirth with a memory of the past and the fate to cause Bhismaâs death. Reborn as Shikandi in the Panchal Kingdom, she partakes in Bhismaâs death and fulfills the boon.
In Kuntibhoj, Princess Kunti obtains a boon from the sage Durvasa whereby she may invoke any deity and bear his child. Out of curiosity, she tests the boon, calling upon the Sun God and is granted a son named Karna. However, Kunti, as an unmarried woman, sets Karna afloat on the river Ganga to avoid embarrassment. She later marries Pandu, son of Vichitravirya and invokes other deities to give her three sons, Yudhistir, Bhim and Arjun. Madri, the second wife of Pandu invokes the Ashwini Kumaras to bear Nakula and Sehdeva. Pandu dies of a curse of Rishi Kimdam along with Madri. Kunti decides to bring up all the five children together. Karnaâs true identity is never revealed until the end of the Kurukshetra War. Karna, a skilled archer and belonging to a lower caste, was often mistreated as he was raised by Adirath, a charioteer, and his wife, Radha. Duryodhan, the Pandhavsâ mortal enemy is the only one to ever support Karna and thus, Karna vows to always protect Duryodhan and fights on his behalf during the Kurukshetra War. Arjun wins the swayamwar of Draupadi and Kunti mistakenly orders her to be shared among the five Pandavas. The Pandavas eventually marry Draupadi. Draupadi is later insulted and disrobed in the infamous Game of Dice by Duryodhana and the rest of the Kauravas. Pandavas swear to avenge her insult.
Bhisma asks for Gandhariâs hand in marriage for his blind nephew Dhritarashtra, resulting in her brother Shakuniâs fury. Bhisma persuades him as Dhritrashtra would be the future king of Hastinapur. However, during the coronation ceremony, Dhritrashtraâs younger brother Pandu is crowned king due to the influence of Vidur, another of Dhritrashtraâs younger brothers. Shakuni, feeling cheated, swears to destroy the Kuru race. He poisons the mind of Duryodhan against the Pandavs and sows the seeds for the Kurukshetra War where Shri Krishna imparts the Bhagavad Gita to his Pandav cousin Arjun. The war results in the deaths of many, including Bhisma, Drona, Karna and all the sons of Dhritrashtra and Gandhari. Yudhisthir becomes the rightful king of Hastinapur and his wife Draupadi becomes the queen.
