A show like B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat cannot be recreated. This show was unique because unlike other mythological shows that time this show was shooted in outdoor locations. That's why war sequences of this show look so realistic. No one able to create war sequence like this show till date.
The music of the show was great as well. "Hey priyatame" is most underrated among all songs. It perfectly reflects the mood and mindset of the warriors before the War.
Mahabharat had ensemble cast. It seems like all actors were born to do this show. Each performance one better than another. IMO Mukesh Khanna as Bhishma, Gufi Paintal as Shakuni and Nitish Bharadwaj as Krishna are three best performances from the show. Nitish Bharadwaj's dialogue delivery is so natural. His eyes were so expressive and through them he conveyed so much. Other performers also did phenomenal job in their respective roles. Rupa Ganguly did brilliant job in Draupadi's disrobing scene. Arjun, Punit Issar and Pankaj Dheer were perfect in their respective roles.
There are so many scenes were perfectly executed. Bhishm Pratigya, Draupadi's cheer haran, Abhimanyu vadh, Virat Yudh etc were some of my favorite scenes. Hats of to B.R. Chopra and Ravi Chopra for making this cult show and hopefully it will remain fresh for so many years.
