TERRIBLE PICTURE AND SOUND QUALITY
By a customer from Edinburgh , 20 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
What a rip off this is. Looks like someone took out their old VHS video tapes and put it straight to DVD with no attempt to remaster it. Video drop outs, tape hiss, wow and flutter are all present. I will not buy this till some attempt is made to improve the techinical quality. I know this is possible, since the quality of the same serial is much better on Zee TV.- Was this review helpful to you?

(8)Mahabharat small epic
By acegod (1 review) from Birmingham , 04 Jul 2009What ever u do, do not get this epic. This Epic is a shorter version of the full Mahabharat Epic up to 16 disc. This has a lot missing parts which lead to confusion rather then the whole story. Parts have been cut to shorter this down. Its like watching a TV show that was suppose to last 1hr but lasted 10mins.
I recommend you get the FULL MAHABHARAT EPIC ALSO SUPPLIED BY LOVEFILM 16 DISC- Was this review helpful to you?

Great Experience
By Hypatia from Cornwall , 18 Jun 2005I can't believe I watched the whole 900 minutes (five discs) of the Mahabharat! This was a genuine Indian version (director Ravi Chopra), and made no concessions to those unfamiliar with the ancient epic. Since my only background was a love of Indian cinema including Bollywood, it required a certain commitment of time and effort. At first I found it a bit confusing, but eventually I was gripped by the drama, and actually didn't want the saga to come to an end. I feel I had a glimpse of a deep and important culture, and I wonder if I am correct in sensing the influence of the Mahabharat in many modern films? It would be useful for someone knowledgeable about Hindu culture to comment on this version. As an uninformed but interested viewer, I felt it was an exciting and worthwhile experience.- Was this review helpful to you?

Worth seeing, but for the educational value
By Jen04 from Oxford , 02 Jun 2005Don’t expect superb acting or fascinating special effects if you rent this. The production is clearly low-budget and even seems a bit naïve compared to the visually perfect films of today. What makes this captivating is the storyline and the abundant detail about India’s folklore and traditions.
I quite enjoyed it, although I must say the sheer length--and the looming 12 hours of the remaining 4 parts--make this quite a project.- Was this review helpful to you?

A classic if a bit ...
By nick#92 from NELSON , 23 Jul 2004A classic if a bit noisy version of the Hindu epic. Indians seem to like this sort of over the top film.- Was this review helpful to you?
