Reception
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.".[6] 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."[7]
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.[8]
