Video Review -

From childhood we heard heroic stories of Pandavas & Krishna, along with evil stories of Kaurava and Shakuni. 'Ajaya' - Mahabharata from Duryodhana (or Suyodhana) point of view was never brought to us.

Anand has depicted how story could be if Suyodhana was not an evil person. Anand used all loopholes in conventional Mahabharata stories presented as divine intervention either by Krishna or God, and presented them as how it would be if there were no divine force other than tempering actual fact. Starting from birth of Pandavas, to Khanva-forest, to Jarasandh-killing etc. Anand has also given weight on characters like Eklavya and Jara in details.

Anand has wonderfully colored Suyodhana and circumstances that made him look evil.

I hope next part that I am going to start is as thrilling as this one.
