==Plot==<br />
It's a dynastic struggle for the throne of [[Hastinapur]], the kingdom ruled by the [[Kuru Kingdom|Kuru]] clan. The two branches of the family that participate in the struggle are the [[Kauravas]] and the [[Pandavas]]. Although the [[Kauravas]] are the senior branch of the family, [[Duryodhan]], the eldest [[Kaurava]], is younger than [[Yudhishthira]], the eldest [[Pandav]]. The seeds of the climactic battle of [[Kurukshetra]] were laid in the boyhood days of the Kauravas and Pandavas, when [[Shakuni]], the maternal uncle of the Kauravas poisoned the mind of [[Duryodhana]]. This series ends before the Kurukshetra war actually occurs.<br />

Writing for [[Livemint]], Padmaparna Ghosh wrote that "KHMK suffers from a bad case of Kapoor soap hangover. Soft focus close-ups, shaky camera angles, repeat sequences — the new Mahabharat has it all.".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/r6v2hAbQzfCq1bm765YIRN/What-an-epic-disaster.html|title=What an epic disaster|first=Padmaparna|last=Ghosh|date=22 August 2008|website=Livemint}}</ref> Navya Sinha of [[Hindustan Times]] that "Six-pack abs, waxed chests, off-shoulder blouses and a scantily-clad Draupadi decked in a chiffon sari... that’s what Ekta Kapoor’s version of Mahabharata is all about."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/kahaani-ekta-ke-mahabharat-ki/story-E7IJik7vpDPOX32LxL9JHL.html|title=Kahaani Ekta Ke Mahabharat ki|date=10 July 2008|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref><br />

Actor [[Mukesh Khanna]] stated that producer [[Ekta Kapoor]] made a horrendous epic saga which was incomprehensible with the characterisation and costumes of the mythological characters. He also stated that the way Kapoor made the saga was a mockery of Mahabharata.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/Mukesh-Khanna-Ekta-Kapoor-made-a-mockery-of-Mahabharata/articleshow/44856332.cms|title=Mukesh Khanna: Ekta Kapoor made a mockery of Mahabharata - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />
