Sony LIV’s Mahabharat: Questioning Assumptions as We Know Them

India is a land that comprises a rich and diverse history. This is a fact that should make every Indian proud, but many times we take things for granted and believe them at face value rather than going in-depth and questioning them. ‘Mahabharat: Ant Ya Aarambh’ is another show based on Indian Mythology, but it resolves to question all the assumptions that we have harbored for a long time.

As a child, you may have seen various renditions of the ‘Mahabharat’ either on TV or heard stories about those brave warriors from your parents, grandparents or relatives. We have lived those stories over and over again but have we ever taken a step to pause and think about it.

‘Was Arjun the greatest archer alive?’ ‘If Duryodhan violated the chastity of Draupadi was Yudhistir correct in betting her in the game?’ these are not our personal questions but those that the creators of the show. Sony Liv aims to shed light on all these little details with its new show and answer many such questions that should have popped up in the minds of many.

Sony Liv has just recently released the trailer of ‘Mahabharat: Ant Ya Aarambh’, and it is already streaming on their platform. This new show provides the viewers with the promise of something unique about a classic which is already a household name throughout the country.
