Hi, this is a starplus mahabharat fan from china. This show is amazing.
Thanks to the great Internet and the devoted online fansub group, thousands of us watched this TV serial last year. This awesome drama based on the great epic mahabharat make me interested in India myth and culture, as well as many other viewers.
I understand that this 13 mahabharat is quite popular in India. The show has also been airied on certain TV channels in Indonesian and Russian. According to wiki, Mauritius also got this starbharat on aired.
Any other foreign viewers? The word 'foreign' here means other than Indian. I heard that there are audience of this show in America, France and Singapore etc, yeah but it's hearsay.
Would like to know how other foreigners feel about this show, this whole 'Bhagavan take avatar in the material world to guide society and preserve dharma' thing is quite new to me.
I guess Episode1 would be the most confusing episode for a foreigner, considering that he/she knows nothing about Shantanu, Ganga and Satyavati before watching this show. Full of surprises！

Hunh..!?! You find this third class TV Serial good ?!? Then I think atleast u wud be blown away, if in the future, some good TV serial wud be made, which wud do justice to this great epic.
Read a good translation of Mahabharat. I think that wud be far more interesting.
If you are so interested in Video adaptation, try watching Mahabharat by BR Chopra. Its far from perfect but still, it does more justice to the epic than any other TV/Movie adaptation. Its easily available on Torrents atleast.

You can also read my review to this TV serial, if u want to.
