Why Star Plus Mahabharat sucked (part 7).

Intro: i boasted alot but honestly i failed to deliver (like Karna was not able to deliver to Suyodhan) this's evident in the fact that i have finished this post very late after its due date (intended target was to complete this one by September 1st but i clearly failed).

BEGIN:

53rd Episode.

1st Issue - Though Karna indeed had respect for the woman called "Radha" in Mahabharat he never did put his head on her lap as an adult. Possibly as a kid he might've but not as a fully grown adult. Also if karna genuinely had love for "Radha" considering her superior to himself then why didn't he protect any sons of her in the Kurukshetra War & Matsya conflict? They died in front of his eye sight, he could have ordered them not to fight too so they would not get in the way.

                                                Respect & love are not the same thing their are differences.

2nd issue - their wasn't a need to turn Adhiratha (a man who never spoke once in mahabharata outside of the rang bhoomi tournament) into a person that is anti kourava & wants to turn Karna away from the side of Suyodhan.

But writing team member's of Star Plus have no other way of using him, they could have had Adhirath tell Karna that his wife is dealing with a sickness then have Sahadev heal her with herbs or something if they desire to use Adhirath.

3rd issue - In the 15 minute 48 second marking of this episode, Kunti told the pandavas about the maiden's identity "she is my childhood Sakhi Priyamvada" but obviously the problem here is that these pandavas should have already known & it's unlikely that Priyamvada was absent from Kunti's life twelve years earlier (when she was already inside Hastinapur) so it made no sense for the pandavas needing kunti to tell them about her, and it made no sense for Priyamvada to have come to hastinapur only after the pandavs went to gurukula.

4th issue - In the 17th minute mark they made Bhima's character homo$exual by making him kiss prince Sahadeva, not only is Bheem gay here but hes also supporting INCEST.

Issue 5; After the 19th minute of this episode it took almost forever for karna/Kunti to meet eachother. It was very annoying, how it took so long for actors to walk toward eachother for a meeting. But i won't give a GIF or image for that.

54th episode.

Mistake (1) - if karna thought [since childhood the injustices that were done to karna would be handled by maharani kunti as she was the queen of hastinapore for a certain period of time] then why didnt he just go to her after Guru Drona refused to teach him any archery/military science according to this TV series? Karna was in a position where he'd be able to meet her as Kunti was alone for over ten years when the pandavas were in the ashram of Drona.

So a lonely Kunti could not have been too busy to just meet Karna that time. He could have complained to her that injustice is being done to him as he isnt being allowed the same teachers that her sons are allowed.

MISTAKE 2;

It makes no sense why karna believes that Arjuna is now his biggest enemy ("Param Shatroo") when he only met arjuna 2 times in this whole tv series.

First in the ashram of drona second in the tournament so this's just another dumb error. Even the real karna from Mahabharat (KMG, Bori & Sarala) did not consider arjun his biggest enemy until later on in life.

Mistake 3: The character of Karna being so arrogant in which he considers himself to be superior to arjuna. During the 5 minute 58 second mark he said "ek jaisey nahi mai aapke putra say SRESTH dhanudhar hoo!"

Though Karna was arrogant in the book (KMG/Bori) he never stated that he was superior to arjuna in adi parva, he only shows that arrogant side of his in the last years of his life like in virata parva & kurukshetra. But he admitted arjuna's superiority many times in those parts of his life too.

Yes mahabharat's karna is a negative character and a villain but he was not this arrogant in his earlier years like in adi parva.

Mistake 4: I probably should have mentioned this earlier but in the "6:35" mark Arjuna said to karna "your place is at kumar duryodhans feet" this's a reference to a incident from the RANG BHOOMI'S ending, that i ignored. Its a mistake because according to sambava parva of Mahabharat Duryodhan embraced karna their was no incident of karna being at his FEET.

BEFORE DONATING ANGA DESH;

{Quote}

"Duryodhana with his brothers thereupon embraced Karna in joy."

AFTER ANGA DESH IS GIVEN IN CHARITY;

[Start's]

"And they embraced each other in joy, and experienced great happiness."

{Done}

5TH MISTAKE; In the 8 minute mark Sahadev also insults Karna, though it is good they gave sahadeva some character, footage, personality etc still they made a big error on their own part. As per their fanmade mahabharat tv serial this character Sahadeva had the power of precognition (predicting the FUTURE) yet for some reason when Kunti said "angraaj karn is like ur elder brother."

Then neither could he use his intelligence to read her signal (that she is trying to tell a truth which was hidden but out of shame she can not be fully honest) or see the future events that prove karna is his brother.

Mistake 6 - when karna's flower is crushed by bheem it was due to the stomp of bheems foot. Below is the gif of bheems deed:

The issue at hand is inconsistency in his foot strength/power.

Cause another gif/incident shows bheem's foot taps and stomp's being able to do THIS instead.

{Proof} so this tv serial shot itself in the foot basically.

7TH MISTAKE: In the 13 minute 40 second mark of this episode Dhritrashtra said that the very EARTH (Word used is "PRITHVEE") shook {trembled or flinched} due to the way Duryodhan was walking on it.

So my problem is if that is the case why is their no incident in this mahabharat series (even on day eighteen) where duryodhan is able to create a small earthquake or ditch with a stomp of his foot?

Mistake 8 - At minute fourteen, dhritrashtra somehow recognized prince duhsasana by his voice. But the issue here is that all the voices of his sons had changed ever since they left Hastinapur (according to this TV series many years had passed by).

Point is he should not have been able to recognize that it was duhsasana.

9TH MISTAKE; In the 20 minute mark Bhishma's character said "todays competition/spardah was only of bahubhal (physical strength) not any other value or talent" my problem is that if that was the case then why did warriors with less physical strength then why did bheem take part in the competition?

If bheem according to this tv series had the most physical strength [after a plot armored bhishma & a GOD like saurabh raj jain] then how is it fair for him to be involved since the winner would already be decided instantly like that? Also due to his consumption of elixir in NAGA LOK bheem had a unfair advantage as that gave him a natural boost in power.

And if physical strength was the gauging/test for the competition here then WHY were archers like arjuna allowed to participate? According to this tv series muscle and great physical strength isn't required for archery.

If the test is of strength then maybe the brothers should have WRESTLED against eachother or competed by lifting weight's not by using axes, blades, maces, club's & spears or arrows.

Mistake 10 - Why is Purochan (a architect designer) in the court room or throne room of hastinapur? He is not a guard, a politician or a warrior, so he has no business being their.

Their were many other errors in this episode but i digress and refuse to give it more attention than it deserves, for me it is a unworthy piece of media. I would rather move onto the next post. I promise and vow that my next post will get to episode 64 at MINIMUM.

The reason i stopped or ended this one at the 54TH is cause their were so many error's i did not think that just these two episodes alone would have like a book or bible or essay worth of mistakes in them.

ULTIMATE CONCLUSION;

Definition of StarPlusMahabharat = monotonous (definition is "dull, tedious, and repetitious; lacking in variety and interest").
