The Mahabharat series currently running on
the Star Plus TV channel was measured by TAM
India to have attracted 9.2 million viewers
over week 30 of 2014. This put in second place
among the top 10 Hindi TV serials, behind Diya
Aur Baati Hum, and ahead of Jodha Akbar and
Kapil Sharma’s Comedy Nights With Kapil.
The show is based on the ancient epic of the
same name, which also happens to be the
longest poem in the world . It also contains
within it, the Bhagavad Gita, the holy scripture
which quotes Krishna as he speaks about the
divine. Along with the Ramayana story , the
Mahabharat forms the corpus of epic literature
in ancient India. The story revolves around
the Kuru clan and the catastrophic Kurukshetra
war between cousins within the clan, the
Pandavas and the Kauravas.
Producer Siddharth Kumar Tewary worked with
a team of 55 over a period of four years to set
the basis for the show and get it off the
ground. The serial is the second such in 25
years, and the first since 1988 to air in India.
The previous one aired on Doordarshan, the
nationalised television channel. The new
Mahabharat began in September 2013 amid
much publicity and fanfare. Currently, the
storyline revolves around the Kurukshetra
battle and is at its climax stage. Since the story
is bound to end soon, rumors of the programs
end have begun to make the rounds.
Tewary was circumspect about the show’s
future. “We have a lot in store . I can’t reveal
what it is at this moment. Expectations really
put a lot of pressure on everybody and that
isn’t a way to live life. I have made an effort to
challenge myself with every story that I had to
tell. But the fact is that we have no control
over the outcome. Then why expect any result
of the efforts I put. All I can do is try to
remain honest to my work.” http://groundreport.com/mahabharat-tv-serial-hits-9-3-million-viewers/
