Someone with a different pov. So far all reviews have been great and I am also one of the praisers ...
Hi
Very very sorry for late reply. Somehow skipped your message.:-( I love 'degodding' of characters. And if these are original characters this series would have been a great one( alveit with a few plotholes). But the basic characteristics of the epic characters have been changed at her will. She love shikhandin somehow, and all the achievements of arjun ( including his friendship with krishna and his often praised self control ) is striped from him and gifted to her shikhandin. I have read the book long ago but I remember partha using brahmastra or something on ashwatthamain coz of some tiny quarrel or something. Quite the ooposite of the arjuna of the mahabharata. This is just an example tha pissed me off and I am not even an arjun fan. Yudhistir's portrayal is as dark as blackhole. Only characterization I could tolerate was that of panchali's. Here also Her friendship with govinda is twisted into some unrequitted love. I don't know, many have praised the series. There must be something I am missing. It was just not my cup of tea. Hope you didn't mind the delay in reply. Looking forward to hear what is your view of the series in a bit detail.
