Kurukshetra Movie Review: Darshan shines in this seamless retelling of Mahabharata

Rating: ( 4 / 5).

Though once a popular genre, mainly from the 60s to the 80s, tales from the Mahabharata have all but disappeared from our screens over the past decade. Darshan-starrer  Kurukshetra  now brings back those memories of sitting in front of the television to catch the latest episode of one of the country’s oldest stories. The only difference — the scale has been ramped up a thousand times.

Producer Munirathna has moved the Mahabharata out of pint-sized weekly instalments to the big screen, focusing on one of the epic’s most definitive battles — the one fought at Kurukshetra. The film differs in one major way from the tales of yore, however, as it shows the battle from Duryodhana’s point of view. The character is portrayed by Darshan in his landmark 50th outing. With 3D technology, the war is played out as a feature-length costume drama, and the spectacular visual effects make for quite an experience.

The song, Saahore saaho , sets the scene for the movie, which starts straight-away with the introduction of Darshan as Duryodhana, explaining the beginning of his deep friendship with Karna. It then talks about the conflict between Kauravas and Pandavas, which leads to the rigged gambling scene dominated by Shakuni (Ravi Shankar), as well as Draupadi's (Sneha) humiliation and the divine intervention of Lord Krishna (Ravichandran). An exile later, Pandavas clash with the Kauravas in the Kurukshetra war.

Most of the tales of the ensuing battle are well known — the entry of Krishna into the war ground, his offer to help the Pandavas and the historical climax, as Duryodhana and Bheema face one another. The story is told in stunning visual style. At three hours, Kurukshetra also holds the distinction of being one of the longest films to be made in the Kannada film industry, perhaps necessary considering the extent of the tale of  Mahabharata narrated. The first half of the movie is heavy on dialogues, while the war sequences take up most of the second half.

Director Naganna and writer JK Bharavi have gone by the book and narrated the story using an extract of the poem, Gadhayuddha by Ranna. The narration is simple enough for even those unfamiliar with the epic to understand the story. Naganna also deserves credit for directing this epic with such a massive star cast. Dialogues by Nagendra Prasad, which balance colloquial lines with complicated verses, are finely executed. The art department has delivered too under art director Kiran Kumar Manne.

The visual effects team led by Durgaprasad Ketha and Jeemon Pullelly Varghese deserve special mention for making  Kurukshetra  the 3D marvel that it is. Harikrishna's songs blend well into the film, while his background score, and the cinematography by Jayanan Vincent, lift the movie to new levels. Late Ambareesh plays the role of the eternal advisor Bheeshma, while Ravichandran takes on the role of Krishna, the game-changer, Sonu Sood as Arjuna, and Nikhil Kumar as Abhimanyu. Danish Akhtar Saifi as Bheema faces Darshan for the final fight. Ravi Shankar as Shakuni shines while he explains the various line of thoughts that are a part of this complex epic. Other cast members include Srinivas Murthy as Dronacharya, Srinath as Dhritarashtra, Sashikumar as Yudhishthira, Yashas Surya and Chandan as Nakula-Sahadeva, Sneha as Draupadi, Meghana Raj as Bhanumati, Harirpirrya as Maye, and Chetan as Dushasana. 

Darshan, playing the difficult-to-like role of Duryodhana, proves he is up to the challenge. Between his pumped-up physical appearance, body language, expressions, and costumes, it is clear that a lot of work has gone into his effective portrayal of the role. Darshan carries the character majestically. Arjun Sarja's performance as Karna is another highlight of the movie.

An ambitious project by Munirathna, featuring one of Darshan’s most challenging roles, Kurukshetra is an honest attempt that showcases ancient mythology using cutting-edge modern technology.

'Kurukshetra' movie review: Seamless treat of mythology we’ve grown up with

A poster of Kurukshetra

A popular genre from the ’60s to the ’80s, tales from the Mahabharata had all but disappeared in the past decade. Until Kurukshetra brought back memories of sitting in front of the television to catch the latest episode of one of the country’s oldest stories, ramped up in scale a thousand times.

Producer Munirathna took up the task of moving the Mahabharata out of pint-sized weekly instalments to the big screen, zeroing in on one of the epic’s most definitive battles - the one fought at Kurukshetra. The movie differs in one major way from the tales of yore, however, as it shows the battle from Duryodhana’s point of view. The character is portrayed by Darshan in his landmark 50th outing. With 3D technology, the war is played out in a feature-length costume drama, with the spectacular visual effects making for gleeful viewing.

The song, Saahore saaho, Ajanubaahoo, Rajadi Raja, Suyodhana, sets the scene for the movie, which starts straightaway with the introduction of Darshan as Duryodhana, explaining the circumstances that led him to help Karna get his position and the beginning of a deep friendship. It moves on to the conflict between the sons of Dhritarashtra and Pandu, and tells the tale of how the Kauravas challenged the Pandavas to a gambling match to take Draupadi (Sneha) away from them.

The rigged gambling scene, dominated by Shakuni (Ravi Shankar), as well as Draupadi’s humiliation and the divine intervention of Lord Krishna (Ravichandran), are the forbearing events that force the Pandavas into exile. Upon their return, the Pandavas seek their kingdom back, signalling the beginning of war.

Most of the tales of the ensuing battle are well known -- the entry of Krishna into the war ground, his offer to help the Pandavas and the historical climax, as Duryodhana and Bheema face one another. The story is told in stunning spurts of visual spectacles. At three hours, Kurukshetra also holds the distinction of being one of the longest films to be made in the Kannada film industry, perhaps necessary considering the extent of Mahabharata narrated in the movie.

Director Naganna has gone simply by the book rule, placing the facts in the movie, using the extract of the poem, Gadhayuddha by Ranna, written by JK Bharavi. Narration is simple and helps even those who know nothing of the epic understand the story.

It looks like the team has tediously managed to keep the story in a format that is likely to be widely accepted. That they managed to pull in such a massive star cast is sure to help their efforts as well. Dialogues by Nagendra Prasad, which balance colloquial lines with complicated verses, are finely executed while the art department, with a crucial role to play, has delivered under art director Kiran Kumar Manne.

There are pauses, but the hurdles seem enjoyable! Visual effects by Durgaprasad Ketha and Jeemon Pullelly Varghese, the man behind the 3D marvel that Kurukshetra is, deliver the goods. With Jo Ni Harsha at the edit desk, the first half of the movie is heavy on conversation, it is the war parts that occupy most of the second half. The epic also has songs composed by Harikrishna that blend into the movie, with lyrics penned by Nagendra Prasad. The background score, and cinematography by Jayanan Vincent lift the movie to new levels.

Darshan, playing the difficult-to-like role of Duryodhana, seizes the chance and challenges himself to take on a completely different avatar, justifying the character. With a pumped-up physical appearance, combined with the right body language, expressions and costumes, it is clear that a lot of homework has gone into effective portrayal of the role. He carries the character majestically, and with Arjun Sarja, who plays Karna, the performances are the highlight of the movie.

Ambareesh plays the role of the eternal advisor Bheeshma, while Ravichandran takes on the role of Krishna,  the game-changer, Sonu Sood as Arjuna, and Nikhil Kumar as Abhimanyu. Danish Akhtar Saifi as Bheema faces Darshan for the ultimate end fight. Ravi Shankar as Shakuni shines while he explains the various lines of thinking that are part of the complex epic.

Other cast members include Srinivas Murthy as Dronacharya, Srinath as Dhritarashtra, Sashikumar as Yudhishthira, Yashas Surya and Chandan as Nakula-Sahadeva, Sneha as Draupadi, Meghana Raj as Bhanumati, Harirpirrya as Maye, and Chetan as Dushasana.

An ambitious project by Munirathna, which features one of Darshan’s most challenging roles, Kurukshetra is an honest attempt that showcases ancient mythology. It makes for a classic visual experience.

Kurukshetra movie review: The Mahabharta is told more with more focus on flesh, than the spirit

Kurukshetra produces evidence of phony piety floating, of being a Mahabharata of the flesh.

Kurukshetra movie review: The Mahabharta is told more with more focus on flesh, than the spirit

Language: Kannada

Kurukshetra,    directed by Naganna and produced by Munirathna Naidu, a Bengaluru Member of Legislative Assembly, has just opened on Friday. It is a Kannada film based on the Mahabharata but has been released in other languages as well. The film is intended for 3D viewing, which implies that audiences must be prepared to have objects and projectiles constantly flung at them, thickest in the battle scenes, something I found disconcerting.   

Mythological films have appeared before in virtually all Indian languages but they have not been alike since they address local contexts. Marathi cinema had the saint film genre that ended in the 1940s while Kannada and Telugu mythological continued till much later. The last Kannada mythological films, to my knowledge, were made in the 1980s. Bhaktha Prahalada (1983) with Rajkumar as Hiranyakashipu and Ananth Nag as Narada was a classic of the genre, not least because of the casting.   

Mythological films have a local meaning going beyond religion. As an instance,    Sri Krishnagarudi (1958) was about the squabbling for ‘portfolios’ among the Pandavas after the war had been won. A similar thing was happening in the political space in Greater Mysore after the linguistic reorganisation of the states. Why Kurukshetra has appeared today is a mystery since no aspect of the Mahabharata is given particular emphasis and cannot be similarly interpreted.

Duryodhana is the protagonist but that does not mean the story justifies his viewpoint – his sinister, guttural laugh is strongly in evidence, marking him out as an ‘undesirable’. But the Kaurava side gets more screen time and are played by better-known actors than the Pandavas. Clear distinctions are not made between mythology and fanciful ancient history in India. The film is perhaps carrying on where Bahubali left off. The Hastinapura of the Kauravas made reminiscent of Ancient Rome in Gladiator, with its stadium and cheering crowds. When last heard from, the director of Bahubali was advising Chandrababu Naidu on town planning in new Amaravati, and producer Munirathna may have had similar ambitions.   

Kurukshetra is based on an epic Kannada poem Gadhayuddha, written in the 10 th Century by Ranna, and many of the film’s lines and songs owe to it. The film begins with Duryodhana (Darshan) ensconced in Hastinapur, and the Pandavas present at ceremonial event in which Duryodhana and Bhima (Danish Akhtar Saifi) fight with maces. They are evenly matched but the Kauravas can produce no rival to Arjuna (Sonu Sood). Karna (Arjun Sarja) now appears and effortlessly matches Arjuna’s prowess. The elders, Bhishma (Ambareesh), Dhritarashtra (Srinath), and Dronacharya (Srinivas Murthy), are against a person of unknown birth being admitted into the gathering but Duryodhana welcomes him, and gives him status.   

Some other episodes from the Mahabharata in the film are the one in the palace of illusions in the Pandavas’ Indraprastha, where Duryodhana is laughed at by Draupadi (Sneha), the game of dice in which Shakuni (Ravishankar) cheats Dharmaraya (Shashikumar), Draupadi disrobed by Dushasana (Ravi Chetan) but rescued by Sri Krishna (Ravichandran) and Sri Krishna consenting to join the Pandavas. In the Kurukshetra War itself, Abhimanyu’s (Nikhil Gowda) valour and death, Bhishma and Drona’s deaths as well as the final battle between Arjuna and Karna get importance. The film concludes with the ‘gadhayuddha’ between Bhima and Duryodhana when Sri Krishna advises the outclassed Bhima that Duryodhana’s vulnerable spot in his thigh.         

The film has a big star cast but none of the actors are comparable to actors like Rajkumar or NT Rama Rao who once played the roles. The older actors were from the traditional theatre, and knew how to essay mythological roles. It was in contemporary roles, like those of secret agents, where they faltered. The new actors have come into prominence through popular cinema. Shakuni here is not different from a thug in a gangster film, and the Pandavas are unimpressive. Dhritarashtra seems to even forget that he is blind. Why else would he shut his eyes when Draupadi is disrobed? Many of the actors have at some time or another worked out in gyms with weights and presses but now, with the lifestyles inculcated in them by the film industry, they all run to podginess. Ravichandran, as Krishna, is even obese. But there was a huge amount of whistling in the audience when Darshan and Ambareesh appeared, suggesting that favourite stars in mythological roles were also a big draw for viewers.   

Nikhil Gowda as Abhimanyu also drew shouts although he has only recently taken into acting. He, to those who are not aware, is the son of former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, and the grandson of former Prime Minister HD Devegowda, and he lost the recent Lok Sabha elections alongside his grandfather. Nikhil’s arrival on the screen was met with the term ‘ yellidiyappa ’, which means ‘where are you?’. During the election campaign, HD Kumaraswamy came up with an onstage gag, wondering where his son Nikhil was – aloud – and Nikhil showing himself in the audience, declaring that his place was with the public. A video of the episode went viral, and Nikhil Gowda cannot appear without being greeted by ‘ yellidiyappas’ . Nikhil struts with the self-conscious air of a body-builder, his arms not hanging straight downwards but held like bows on either side; one cannot assert that this swaggering Abhimanyu is lovable.       

As regards the visual aesthetic, it is well below that of Baahubali . It is closer to that of the earlier mythological films, that did not have the benefit of digital animation but still convinced us through their drama. Baahubali had cast younger actors but many of the ‘warriors’ here are nearly thespians. Ambareesh (who passed away after filming) has difficulty with his breathing after each line of dialogue. The strategy of a large star cast is not a good one since we are not allowed to identify with any of them individually. There is no continuing drama to get us involved, and we have seen more aura surrounding mythological heroes. One also wonders at the absence of anything corresponding to a natural world. There are no forests or pasture land or empty spaces, away from civilisation, and all we are given to see are palaces, stadia and courts. Kurukshetra displays an aesthetic that might appeal to people who, when they see land before them, imagine edifices and complexes to be rented out for profit.     

But the biggest problem with the film is perhaps that it does not maintain the respectful distance required from its epic characters. In the first place, their flesh dominates the frames more than it should and there are more close-ups of faces and teeth than might be justifiable. A god like Sri Krishna is not identifiable with flesh but omniscient and unknowable in essence. Unless this distance from the god is preserved the scene on the battlefield when he shows his divine self to Arjuna would become ludicrous. The first episode, involving Sri Krishna in Kurukshetra, begins with his plump blue cheeks vigorously pinched by a scantily-clad damsel. We know Sri Krishna was loved by women in mythology but would this be the appropriate way of representing him? There is a great deal of phony piety floating around in the India today. If anything, the film produces evidence of it, of being a Mahabharata of the flesh. Its financial success should be worrying to film critics since there is little to commend it.
