Horribly truncated! December 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have seen the 5-hour film version of Peter Brook's 9-hour stage play of the Mahabharata, and it is wonderful. WHY the producers of this new release chose to cut an additional 2 hours from the film, I do not know, but the result is terrible. The story jumps abruptly without explanation and leaves out vital plot points. The result is a disservice both to Brook's vision and the great epic itself. I am extremely disappointed and urge others not to buy this version. Make them give us the full 5 hours!
(I meant to give it one star but cannot seem to change it now)
 Sliced & Diced! December 7, 2008

This is a disappointing, sliced and diced version of the long epic shown on public television many years ago. The cuts change the storyline and make it difficult to follow, especially in reference to the amazing 5+ hour original.
Buyer beware! This is not the original, full length version.
ABRIDGED VERSION!!! 1/2 of the content has been cut! December 4, 2008

This is a heavily abridged version of Peter Brook's wonderful film. About 1/2 the film has been cut from this version. I owned the VCR version of this movie which is 325 minutes long. I had assumed this was a long-awaited reprint of an out-of-print classic. Instead, this is a HEAVILY abridged (170-minute) version of the show.
I bought this as a birthday present for my husband, after five minutes of watching painful cut after painful cut, we had to turn the film off. I will be returning it ASAP.
I have NO IDEA why the studio did this.
Amazon.com should mark this as an ABRIDGED VERSION.
I can only hope that the studio comes to their senses and released a version of the DVD that is the full 325 minutes, because the VCR tapes I bought 14 years ago are wearing out...
CUT VERSION! November 28, 2008

I have been eagerly awaiting Peter Brooks' The Mahabharata on DVD, and today it arrived. How disappointed I was to find this version is a little over half as long as the one shown on the BBC and PBS. I have not watched this version yet, but I cannot believe it will be anything but a slice-and-dice version of the epic tale that I came to love in its television miniseries form and later on laserdisc. So a warning to everyone: if you want the full miniseries, THIS IS NOT IT!

Based on an classic Indian epic, Peter Brook & his international team have created masterpiece film. Peter Brook captures not only the story/plot but conveys the nuances & philosophies within this Indian epic. It is amazing that Mr. Brook captures the essence of the characters even in the "stylized" filming.
Although many have criticised this version and despite its flaws or minor inaccuracies, this is truly an artistic production. Relatively low budget and at time "stagy" but Peter brook captures the the essence and communicates the nuances as well as concepts brilliantly.
I believe, the stage version was nine hours long. Nonetheless, it captivates the audience. In my opinion, Peter Brook is one of the greatest director. Excellent!!!!!
Note: my review is based on the previously released DVD and I am hoping that this version includes extra features "Making of The Mahabharata" and additional footage.
REVISION: I just realized that this version of the DVD is only three hours long. I do have this abbreviated version on VHS and must agree with the other reviewer that this version does NOT deserve the ***** (five star) ranking I posted earlier. At best, a two star and I am being generous I had assumed that this was a longer version along with extra features. PATHETIC!!!!!
