this is to all people associated in the movie business i request producers from bollywood along with the major Hollywood studios like sony,warner brothers,fox movies to recreate the epic "MAHABHARAT" for the big screen.You will do a great favour to mankind as there is none nor there will be another epic as "THE MAHABHARATA" which teaches values and ethics which were relevant not only in the past but are very much relevant in today's time.Hire the best of talents from across the globe with special effects teams from India and abroad and with the epic divided into 3 parts which can be modelled just as the matrix series or the lord of rings trilogy.Mark my words "A FILM MADE ON THIS EPIC WITH THE COMBINE TALENTS OF Hollywood AND Indian FILM INDUSTRY WOULD BE A GREAT SERVICE TO MANKIND AND WOULD GENERATE REVENUES THAT ARE UNIMAGINABLE!!!".

What matters for epics of this sorts when made in serials, is how much justice done to the substance by the script, characters and most of all direction; screenplay is critical as you are expecting viewers to follow this for over ninety episodes, and there Mahabharat won't command anything less than a complete 10. Full marks to the casting and acting, every actor including the not so important ones, have done absolute justice to the character, nowhere you see an actor taking over character; which is rampant in remakes reason enough they fizzle out in first five episodes.Mind you, this is a long story going over 90 full episodes, but not even a single episode is tacky or boring. Mahabharat is a very complicated plot to narrate because of the number of important characters involved in the epic and so many other stories running in parallel, but all this was directed and presented so tactfully and stylishly that it never lose the pace. Every subplot was placed and shown where it became important, rather than going by tricky flashbacks or a chronological screenplay. We can argue endlessly about this being technically not up to the mark but that's not important as this is the beauty of substance if used properly it can definitely make an everlasting impression just like this one. I have watched the complete series twice but even now whenever I watch any episode again, it is as good as ever.

I was too young at that time. Around 6-7 years. Live in a joint family of 7-8 people and shared a single TV at home.I still remember 9 am on Sunday morning, it was a time when India became lifeless and explored its very own roots.Mahabharata has always been the largest epic in the world. Converting the same into TV serial would have been some task and congratulations to Chopra's for doing such a wonderful job.The other day I saw all three parts (extended editions) of Lord of the Rings Trilogy and thought how complicated it was. But when I actually started to compare it with Mahabharata I realized how simple LOTR was, how many complex characters, scenarios, emotions were portrayed in Mahabharata.In fact the actors who portrayed those parts did such a wonderful job, and were so much convincing in their roles, that they were etched in public memory, that barring one or two, none of them have been successful in other ventures on Screen.I must have watched it numerous times and end up enjoying the same every single time.There are no words enough to describe the epic, but as someone else said earlier, make sure you watch it before you die, it will change your life.
