7/10
While the series can be overwhelming due to the number of characters and names, it manages to maintain coherence thanks to its episodic narrative and a structure that allows the viewer to understand the essence of the epic. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Vinamra Mathur Firstpost Oct 10
3/5
It’s nearly impossible to get all the conflicts of Mahabharata so soon. But once you get into the world the makers have created, you are bound to get swayed, and inspired. Go to Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Oct 10
Rather than characterisation or scripting coherence, Kurukshetra fares better at razzmatazz. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Flixster F Dec 20 To tell an epic story in just 18 episodes is challenging. They tried hard but it wasn't satisfying enough. The problem is that it didn't just miss the main portions but it showed some parts that were relatively irrelevant. I wonder if people who aren't already acquainted with this mythology be able to grasp it as there are too many characters and too many backstories that remain untold here. Other than the last episode, the dialogues weren't great either. And at times, I wasn't able to identify the characters. Not a great animation either. Ambitious but not well made. See more Shweta S Nov 27 Misleading stories. Poor animation. When you watch BR Chopra's Mahabharat you see the godly avatar of Shri Krishna. They showcased Kaurav in the right for majority part of it. At one point you start questioning if you are not aware of the real story. See more Ankita D Nov 1 Manages to capture the wisdom of the Bhagwad Gita through lord Krishna’s guiding force while parallely highlighting the essence of the brutal war. I love the way the last episode speaks to the audience to introspect about their actions, consequences and the fact that something that happened yugas ago is still relevant today.
