There is no doubt that starplus version of Mahabharat is good with best actors and it's seems to be they are born to play the characters....
But,many incidents are turned into dramatic way by adding some masala-
Examples -
1.Arjuna helping Krishna in abducting Rukmini.
2.Draupadi dreaming about Arjuna
3. It's Indra who cured Karna after getting his 'Kavacha and Kundala' (Not Pandava twin brothers as shown in series) .
This is clearly shown in Ramanand Sagar's Shrikrishna serial...
4.Vidura helped pandavas to escape from tunnel by sending a man to dig tunnel-which is twisted in series.
5.King Virata didn't know about identity of pandavas before,it was revealed only after the defeat of kauravas by Arjuna.
6.Bakasura vadh isn't shown in series.
7.Urvashi curse to Arjuna is also not shown...
8. Arjuna didn't meet either Subhadra or Krishna earlier.Arjuna met Krishnan on the day of draupadi swayamvara and he met subhadra during his Vanavas period.
9. Thakshaka's abduction of cows isn't present in any other mahabhatha based series.
10.Its Ashwasena who sat in Karna's arrow -Not Takshaka(to take revenge the death of his family members in fire when khandavaprastha was burnt) - during the battle between Karna and Arjuna.
11.Fight between Ghatothkacha and princess Mourvi is not shown.
12.Barbareeka story is also not shown.
13.Duryodhana abduction of Princess Bhanumathi is missing.
14. Krishna and Balarama were always together in all other serials-But,here least importance is given for charector Balarama and Krishna alone highlighted.
15.Madri charector isn't portrayed badly.
16. Young Duryoshana and other kourava brothers are shown very cruel and bad.
17. Sage Durvasa didn't come to Pandava's hut ,he ran away from Bank of river with his pupils.
Portrayal of following charectors was the best when compared to all other serials.
1. Karna
2.Sage Vyasa
3.Shakuni
4.Dhritharastra (he overcame is his disability and shown superfit like Normal man even though born blind).
4.Gandhari maid Sugdha wasn't shown in any other serials.
5.Pandu's sadnes and analysis after the death of Sage Kindhama was best here.
6.Sage Vedavyasa's role in birth of 100 kourava brothers is shown perfect.
7.Lord Krishna advice to Bhishma,Drona and Karna was best.
8. Background music and costumes were awesome.
9.Draupadi charector is portrayed best.
10. Unity in five pandava brothers was best which wasn't shown like this in any other version.
There are lot of deviations from original version.
But,still people like the serial due to the originality of all actors- It may be Ganga,Bhishma,Sathyavathi, Pandu,Vidura,Duryodhana- his laughing was the best,Karna (played very beautifully by actor),Vrishali,Shakuni,Kunti,Krishna,Abhimanyu,Bhima,Arjuna,Gandhari,Hidimba,Ghatothkacha, Sanjaya,etc.
Except fee dramatic scenes,this version is not less than BR CHOPRA version.
