I was not completely aware of the Mahabharat except bits and pieces. I've chosen this show to learn about Mahabharat by watching it in Hotstar. Later I've felt this is the best decision that I've taken🙂
Positives:
1. Casting - Especially ones who played Krishna,Shakuni,Bhishma,Arjun,Karna,Draupadi, Duryodhan and Dronacharya had set a new benchmarks in performance and physical appearance.
2. Background music
3. Life lessons given by Krishna from the very first episode
4. Direction and storytelling
Negatives:
Not many negatives, but at some instances we might see shades of a typical Indian serial which could've been avoided
