Although, as you also feel, it's a change from those low IQ irritating serials of Balaji productions but i want to share some of my thoughts with you and all others who visit your blog:<BR/><BR/>When Ekta decided to make Mahabharat, People wondered how the queen bee would do without a ‘K,’ but she has come around with a way to deal with it. The epic serial will be called "Kahani Hamari Mahabharat Ki". Ekta Kapoor’s Kahaani Hamari Mahabharat Kii has the topmost television actors being part of the project. Small screen's favourite bahus, betas and villains are now set for another innings. Ronit Roy, Kiran Karmarkar, Saakshi Tanwar, Chetan Hansraj et al will now be seen in soap queen Ekta Kapoor's magnum opus Mahabharata.With Ekta Kapoor's magnum opus Kahani Hamari Mahabharat Ki, the Oms, Parvatis and Mihirs will graduate from the glamorous bahus and betas to mythological characters. <BR/><BR/>But was it a Roman Mahabharat or our Hindustaani....wasn’t very clear, since most of the character wore a look and feel of being Roman, the crowns, the roman sandals and hair cut ....<BR/><BR/>Secondly, madam Ekta Kapoor the Kaurav’s and Panndavs were not late night birds like your soap actors....Chaupad (game of gamble) was played in broad daylight for entertainment.....so why was there so much lightening and thundering without any rains.....May be you were trying to show good overpowered by Evil through the whole play of lightening and darkness ....but you could have used your creative wits to show the same without going factually wrong and irrelevant (what was the urgency for Kauravs and Paandavs to play Chausar in night)!<BR/><BR/>So for such a change, from our idiot box queen Ekta Kapoor, you tell me- Are we ready to let our young generation watch our great epics even if they are wrongly presented & fatually irrelevant??? CAN WE AFFORD IT ??? It's better to let them watch the correct cartoons instead of wrong moral stories,isn't it???<BR/><BR/>For me Ekta Kapoor's 'KHMK' is a pain.... The one made before by B R Chopra was superb. I remember getting up on time even on Sundays just to watch that and not get out of track about MAHABHARAT.This is not even a patch on that.<BR/><BR/>Ritu DeswalRitu Deswalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920122166784362174noreply@blogger.com
