Yes, there is a K. It goes Kahani something blah blah Mahabharat. I hope K-influence on kahani (story) just ends there. Or else the creative heads of Ekta Kapoor will end up changing the storyline itself to improve TRPs!!!

I hope the soul and essence of Mahabharat, the great Indian epic doesn’t get lost or is compromised for the sake of TRPs. Balaji camp is famous for sloppy melodramatic soaps with never ending and repeating storyline. They don’t have full-stop in their grammer or dictionary. I hope this K (Keep going) factor doesn’t drag the epic into total melodrama and boredom.

This professional media house should realize that in the era of TV and internet, the young generations all over India will probably know Mahabharat only from how it is depicted in the serial. It is a big responsibility to put across the nuances and philosophy of Mahabharat in a serial format. This is not a typical Saas-Bahu saga. Characters in Mahabharat are not black and white. There are all kinds of colours and shades. This epic defines our philosophy and culture.

Going by the promos, it doesn’t seem to be any different from other soaps from Balaji camp. Mahabharat doesn’t need enhanced special effects. Nor does it need famous sound and light effects of thunder and lighting and rotating cameras, zooming in and zooming out, freezing etc. Hope they are made to pass thro’ the censor board.

The classics have to be treated in a classy style. Hope K-team shows some respect to the Indian epic.
