Let me talk about the good things first. The story is told from dhuryodana's perspective. Darshan has done justice to the character. He once again proved that he can pull off negative shade role. As the movie shows different events of Mahabharata in 3hrs time, movie never feels long. Coming to the downside.. Graphics is decent but not comparable to bhahubhali, which Itself is not an amazing vfx film. Film has unnecessary songs to impress mass audience. Duet between Meghna and Darshan, haripriya's Item number, and nikhil's Song is ware of time. Also there is a scene in which ambharish and Nikhil have a conversation, which is used to indirectly praise Kumaraswamy and Devegowda. Which took close to 20 min of the film. Casting was not good. Bhima was not convincing at all. He looked funny while he was showing his anger and aggression. They should have casted theatre artist instead of mainstream actors. I felt if they had made this movie into 2 or 3 parts it could have been better.
