The Scale and Ambition
Before the era of CGI and high-budget visual effects, B.R. Chopra took on a Herculean task: adapting a 100,000-verse Sanskrit epic into a manageable tele-series. The production value, though dated by modern standards, was revolutionary for Indian TV at the time. From the grand sets of Hastinapura to the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the show commanded respect through its sheer scale and attention to detail in costume design and art direction. mahabharat all episodes b r chopra
