Ekta Kapoors Mahabharata - the good , bad & ugly.

Ms kapoor i do wish u had picked better looking people as ur actors, i mean some look downright ugly or maybe their make up qualifies for the horrors they look. And draupadi for christs sake did u have to pick her - i mean its well known that u 'like' her, but give the viewers a beautiful woman of cvharacter as draupadi not a screaming screeching anita hassanandani. I think Chitrangada Singh, that beautiful gorgeous lady would have been so right. I hope someone somewhere makes a Mahabharata and casts her as draupadi.

Ved Vyasji is another horrible casting job, such a puny thin actor. Honestly! The good ones are Arjun (he looks great), Duryodhana (Aryan Vaid also looks his part) , Bhishma, Dushasana are the nicely cast ones. Also Hiten Tejwani is a nice pick for Karan. But save these the rest are horrors. The actress chosen to play Devkiji is atrocious, her make up is ghastly and her clothes distasteful with a sexily cut blouse. ughhh!

Although i liked the 'greek' look that the actors have been given it seems some of the drama has too much influence of ekta kapoors other serials. I mean their speech and behaviuor is so ridiculously out of place, they adress each other as 'bhaiya' as oppossed to 'bratashree' in the original mahabharata that we all saw while we grew up. kids nowadays are gonna watch this crap version, i think their parents might as well let them watch her other crap serials.

What i do like is that it is fast paced, but way too much drama. and i hope she stickes to the facts of the legend instead of adding her own two bit to the original story.

And Miss Kapoor why do you like to copy so much. i mean the scene where young Bhishma is out getting trained (killing that artificial wolf) is such a direct copy of that sparta flick where young spartans go and fend for themsleves. use some brain some imagination, tell your writers to do the same, whats the point of just copy pasting? And she says in her interview something like 20 years later she wants them to compare newer versions of mahabharata with ekta kapoors mahabharata! Oh boy grow up!
