I have watched few episodes of new Mahabharat. Got to say... nowhere close to BR Chopra's one. Some of the castings in that series is irreplaceable... like lord krishna, bhishma, shakuni & all that!

 

[Ayush]

Gods doesn't exist!

Embrace science, grow up.

we aint talking about no god

 

[INDIC]

At least, some facts are true.

Shakuni, my favorite character, was from Afghanistan and Karna was the king of Bengal.

Gandhara only contained a small part of Afghanistan it was a region north of Rawalpindi, while Anga was mainly in Bihar.

People need to make new Mahabharata as believable as possible. In TN we see a dubbed version and its all right. But its more dramatic than usual ( I have a full downloaded BR Chopra Mahabharata with subs) and we should really compare the characters of both.
Those days moustache was a symbol of manhood, strength. These modern day heroes have no moustaches, beards, chest hair etc.

Yup, Vanga was the kingdom that was in today's Bengal(the name Bengal or Bongo comes from Vanga)

During the Kurukshetra War, Karna was the Anga-Raja while Bhagadatta was the Vanga-Raja.

Spot on. I was eagerly looking forward for this new version & as per the hype created this was suppose to be the most expensive tv series till date. After watching few episodes, have to say I was disappointed. You always tend to compare with the old version...& that was much better than the present one.

Bhagadatta was from Pragjyotishpur(Assam). Three Kingdoms Vanga, Pundra and Suhma lied in Bengal region.

That old Bhisma went on to become Shaktimaan

 

[JanjaWeed]

That old Bhima went on to become Shaktimaan This new Bhim sucks literally

You mean Bheeshma?

 

[bornmoron]

Old Characters were rustic,,,Now all Polished,,lot of VFX,,,,full on drama,,,ekta kapoor types,,,
They even make Draupadi & Sita look HOT,,,,People wwud be wanting Dushasan to pull her Saree off,,,& krishna arrive in the scene as late as possible....

Nah it was Bhismpitahma (Mukesh khanna) who played Shakitman not the Bhim.
Fun fact: Mukesh Khanna never got married in his real life after he took vow not to marry as Bhismpitahma.

I found new Mahabharat more dramatic like Ekta Kapoor serials. Old one by BR Chopra is still the best following the original narrative from the Epic with lively characters.
