When Star Plus launched its reboot of the ancient Sanskrit epic in 2013, produced by Swastik Productions, it redefined television storytelling. The show, directed by Siddharth Anand Kumar, ran for 267 episodes and became a ratings juggernaut.

Duryodhana plotting to send Kunti and the Pandavas to Varnavata; the construction of the flammable House of Wax (Lakshagriha); Vidura’s coded warning to Yudhisthira; the Pandavas escaping through an underground tunnel; the burning of the palace and Hastinapur believing the Pandavas are dead.
