Do Pakistani people really don't know what Mahabharat is?

Well as a Pakistani, i can answer that.

May be some don't know what is "mahabharat" but majority know it. This rift is known to us all. But i saw something else in movie too that people across the border whether it be India or Pakistan, they dam care about animosity and hatred. This bull$hit is caused by our illiterate and mindless morons i.e. politicians.

Believe me, thanks to Indian Cinema (and more recently, the television) Pakistanis know a lot more about India than Indians do about Pakistan. Most of the people have a general idea what Mahabharat is, and people of my generation know a lot more about it, because of BR Chopra's TV serial which was quite popular on this side of the border too. I wish our mass media were as powerful as India's. It would have cleared many misconceptions about Pakistan that people in India generally hold (as is evident by the portrayal of Pakistan and Pakistani people in mainstream Indian movies and the comments you find on various internet forums). As for the scene in the movie, I hope that the writer was not making a statement about the general ignorance of Pakistanis, and only about the ignorance of one individual. Pakistanis are not as ignorant about their neighbor as some people might think (or some people might like).

Well, I have a very rudimentary understanding of Mahabharata as a Hindu religious epic. I don't know any details about it, though. However, being a fringe fan of Indian cinema, I may not be the best person to answer this question. It is worth mentioning that when I watched this movie in the cinema, I asked my peers, who are really into Indian movies, about the word but they were at a loss to really explain it to me. With one of my friends saying that Mahbharata is actually the "undivided subcontinent". 
