Then we have our good guys, Arjun and Krishna… and that’s it. And these guys all bad, not one ounce of good in them and as Duryodhan said, he can’t be on the same side as dharma! So here is my problem with this show and this is the reason why I’m bored of it: All the characters are one dimensional, we have our bad guys Duryodhan, Shakuni, Dhitrashtra etc. Every single character is complex, with complex personalities and most important of all – human strengths and human weaknesses. Bhisma, who took a great vow to protect the kingdom at all costs but then sat back and watched his family destroy itself. We have Yudhisthir, who is righteous and kind but has a great weakness of gambling and isn’t all that bright! We have Dhitrashtra, born blind but ambitious and his greatest weakness turns out to be his love for his son. We have Duryodhan, who is arrogant and ambitious but also a great warrior, learned and generous. And every single character is human, with human desires and human weaknesses. According to me, Mahabharat is a very human story about ambition, jealousy and desires, all of which lead to a family being torn apart. However, I have been thinking about the message that this new version is trying to give to its viewers. I've been watching star Plus ' Mahabharat on and off since the beginning and lately I've been turning it off whenever it is on since I'm bored of it (never thought I'd be bored of anything related to Mahabharat but I guess there is a first time for everything!). I have previously written a review on the new Mahabharat when it was first starting out.
