Mahabharat

The people of Hastinapur are attacked by Rakshasas. Bhishma comes to save the people. Later Shantanu comes to know from Ganga that Bhishma is his son and accepts him.

Vichitravirya is captured by the King of Panchal, for his misdeeds. Bhishma saves Vichitravirya from the King of Panchal.

Satyavati orders Bhishma to win the three daughters of King of Kashi from their seeming swayamvara, so that they can be married to Vichitravirya.

King Subala prepares his army, thinking Bhishma has come to fight them. But Bhishma has come to King Subala with a marriage proposal for Gandhari with Dhritarashtra. This worries King Subala, but Bhishma convinces him by offering him Hastinapur.

Dhritarashtra fights against elephants to show his strength. Later, Vidura meets Dhritarashtra and Pandu; tells them only the righteous prince will be crowned the King of Hastinapur. This angers Dhritarashtra. In Gandhara, King Subala fears that Shakuni may object to Gandhari's marriage.

As the marriage preparations begin, Dhritarashtra shares his desire to become King with Pandu. Shakuni becomes furious with King Subala's decision of marrying his daughter, Gandhari to Dhritarashtra.

Seeing Karna's chariot skills and archery, Bhishma awards him with hundred gold coins. Bhishma tells Sushena to send Karna to Magadh to learn archery, as only Kshatriyas are allowed to learn it in Hastinapur and Panchal. Later, Shakuni teaches Duryodhan to be cunning.

Vidura informs Dhritarashtra about Duryodhan's incident with the fishermen. Shakuni lies to Dhritarashtra that the fishermen attacked Duryodhan and wounded him. Dhritarashtra gets angry and orders that the fishermen be killed. Later, on Satyavati's request, he changes his decision.

Bhagirathi blames Satyavati for the downfall of Hastinapur. To rectify her mistake, she sets out for the forest to convince Pandu to return. All this while, Shakuni continues to provoke Dhritarashtra against Satyavati and Pandu. What will happen when Pandu returns to Hastinapur?

After confronting Duryodhan on Bheem's disappearance, Dhritarashtra sends him to study with the Pandavas at Drona's gurukul. As Kunti and Gandhari bid farewell to their children, Arjun assures his mother that he will take care of all his brothers.

Duryodhan pretends to be furious at Dushyasan in front of Ashwathama. He promises Ashwathama that he will make him the Rajguru of Hastinapur. Kripi becomes enraged at Ashwathama for his rude behaviour with Dronacharya. Dronacharya promises Ashwathama that he will make him the King of Panchal. Dronacharya teaches Arjun the art of archery. Arjun takes blessings from Dronacharya.

On seeing Arjun’s archery skills, Dronacharya gives him more lessons. Meanwhile, Duryodhan provokes Ashwatthama against Arjun. Later, he fights with Bheem for insulting Dushyasan. Bheem falls in the marsh while fighting. Arjun saves him with his bow and arrow. But how?

First, Arjun decides to avenge Drupad for Dronacharya. Then, Duryodhan and the Kauravas also gear up to attack him. The Pandavas and the Kauravas take the blessings of their parents and leave Hastinapur. At the palace, Shakuni continues to poison Dhritarashtra's mind against Bhishma and Vidur.

Dronacharya informs the Kauravas and the Pandavas that he and Ashwatthama will not be participating in the war. He also refuses to let Karna join this battle. Ashwatthama informs Duryodhan that Drupad's commander is immortal. How will the princes of Hastinapur defeat Drupad?Dronacharya informs the Kauravas and the Pandavas that he and Ashwatthama will not be participating in the war. He also refuses to let Karna join this battle. Ashwatthama informs Duryodhan that Drupad's commander is immortal. How will the princes of Hastinapur defeat Drupad?

Drupad orders his commander, Shikhandini, to imprison the Kauravas and Pandavas. Duryodhan informs Yudhishtir that he will be the commander. The Kauravas attack Drupad's army. However, Drupad imprisons the Kauravas. Suddenly, Duryodhan sees multiple Drupads. Which one of them is real?

Arjun and Subhadra talk about Krishna. Kunti reminds her of Kalyawan. She asks Arjun to accompany Subhadra to Dwarka. On the way, Kalyawan attacks Subhadra. Arjun's arrows free her but Kalyawan throws her off a cliff. Kalyawan challenges Lord Krishna to save Subhadra and Arjun.

Lord Krishna saves Arjun and Subhadra. Kalyawan challenges Lord Krishna to fight with him. He follows Lord Krishna to a den. He mistakes Maharishi Muchukunda for Krishna and kicks him. What will Maharishi Muchukunda do?

Lord Krishna allows Arjun to accompany him on his mission. He informs Arjun about his marriage with Rukmini. Lord Krishna and Arjun disguise themselves as a cowherd and a woman respectively to enter Vidarbha. Lord Krishna asks Arjun to secretly convey his message to Rukmini.

Duryodhan, Dushyasan and Shakuni plan to send the Pandavas to Varnavat. Shakuni provokes Duryodhan to continue insulting Bhishma. Gandhari becomes shocked on learning that Duryodhan wants Dushyala to marry Jayadrath, the King of Sindhu.

Shakuni becomes delighted on learning about the success of his plan against the Pandavas. He informs Duryodhan about his plan against Kunti. Vidura warns Yudhishthir about Duryodhan's conspiracies. Meanwhile, Karna is shocked to learn about Duryodhan's plan to kill the Pandavas.

Seeing Karna's reaction, Duryodhan pretends to be furious at Dushyasan and asks him to call off the plan against the Pandavas. Kunti and the Pandavas leave Hastinapur for Varnavat. In Dwarka, Lord Krishna asks Arjun to bathe in the Triveni Sangam, on their way to Varnavat.

Rukmini questions Krishna about the Pandavas. Krishna gives her an indirect answer. Meanwhile, Yaaj and Upyaaj stop Drupad from killing a rishi. They assure him that his girl child will change history. In the forest, Kunti and her sons share a light moment.

Arjun finds some injured saints in the forest. They inform the Pandavas about Drupad's violence against them. They reveal Drupad's plan to take revenge on Drona and the Pandavas. Yaaj and Upyaaj perform a yagna for Drupad. A young man emerges from the holy fire. He is Drupad's son Dhrishtadyumna.

Drupad refuses to accept his daughter. Yaaj and Upyaaj try to convince him, but in vain. A young and beautiful woman emerges from the holy fire. Yaaj and Upyaaj inform Drupad that his daughter, Draupadi, will change history. She seeks her father's blessings but he moves away.

Drona arrives in Panchal and Drupad invites him to a fight. Drona surrenders and asks Dhrishtadyumna to kill him. As Dhrishtadyumna runs towards Drona with his sword, Lord Krishna's Kaumodaki stops him. Lord Krishna destroys his army and sends his Kaumodaki to kill Drupad. But Draupadi stops Lord Krishna.

Hidimbi disguises herself as an innocent woman and tells Arjun that the giants in the forest killed her parents. She seeks Arjun's help to get out of the magical jungle. At Panchal, Lord Krishna tries to make Drupad understand his mistake. Will he accept Draupadi as his daughter?

Krishna suggests that Drona should make Dhrishtadyumna his student. He plays a prank on Draupadi to bring her back to the palace. In the forest, Arjun and Yudhishthir find that Hidimba is missing. Hidimbi asks Hidimba to bring the Pandavas to an isolated place.

Duryodhan is crowned as the new King of Hastinapur. He takes Bhishma and Gandhari's blessings. As the Pandavas arrive at Vyasa's ashram, Draupadi worries about her Swayamvar. Krishna advises her to seek answers from Lord Shiva.

The Pandavas take shelter in a potter's house. The potter informs them about Draupadi's Swayamvar. The Pandavas decide to help him by collecting mud for him. Arjun and Bheem visit the temple before digging. This is where Lord Shiva answers Draupadi's prayer by showing her a glimpse of Arjun.

While Bheem and Arjun return to the potter's house, the wheels of their cart get stuck in the mud. While taking out the wheel, Duryodhan comes face-to-face with Bheem. Will he recognise him? Later, Draupadi learns about the saint she saw in the temple.

Shakuni informs Dhritarashtra that Drupad humiliated the Kauravas and hence Duryodhan has decided to perform Ashvamedha yagna. However, Gandhari tells Duryodhan that only a king can perform Ashvamedha yagna. Duryodhan forces Dhritarashtra to crown him king of Hastinapur.

Drupad, Krishna and Dhrishtadyumna bid farewell to the Pandavas and Draupadi. In Hastinapur, Dhritarashtra and Gandhari are upset, thinking about Duryodhan. He decides to appoint Duryodhan as his successor. Just when Duryodhan is about to be crowned, Bhishma stops the ceremony.

Bhishma informs Dhritarashtra that the Pandavas are alive. Dhritarashtra tells Bhishma that he will appoint Duryodhan as the king, if he fails to bring the Pandavas in front of him. Meanwhile, the Pandavas arrive in Hastinapur. Gandhari assumes that Draupadi is the first daughter-in-law of the Kuru family. However, Arjun informs Gandhari that Bheem is married to Hidimba, and is blessed with a son. On Gandhari's insistence, the Pandavas come forward with Draupadi.

Shakuni is happy as the Pandavas won't be able to perform Rajasuya Yagya because of Arjun. He suggests Duryodhan should learn gadayuddha from Balarama and marry Subhadra. While worshiping Lord Somnath, Arjun sees Duryodhan and Shakuni. Krishna tricks Shakuni in to touching Arjun's feet.

Subhadra informs Kunti that she does not want to marry Duryodhan. Kunti tells Subhadra that her decision might affect the political relationship between Dwarka and Hastinapur. Meanwhile, Krishna sends Subhadra to bring a saint to Dwarka from the Somnath temple. She is delighted to know the saint is Arjun.

The elders of the Kuru family arrive at Dwarka for Duryodhan and Subhadra's wedding. On reaching, they discover that Subhadra is missing. Later, Krishna explains Subhadra's state of mind and her intentions. Everybody is left shocked by what Krishna says.

Draupadi agrees to forgive Subhadra and Arjun and let them enter Indraprastha. Meanwhile, Shakuni advises Duryodhan to seek Jarasandh's help to defeat Krishna. Instead of helping them, Jarasandh orders his soldiers to arrest them.

Shakuni informs Duryodhan that if Jarasandh performs Rajasuya, then the Kuru kingdom will have to support him, and the Pandavas will have to fight against Krishna. However, Krishna is ready with his plan to defeat Jarasandh. He discusses it with Yudhishthir.

Jarasandh asks Karna to become the king of Malini, but he refuses. On Shakuni's suggestion, Duryodhan tries to persuade Karna to accept Jarasandh's offer. Later, Krishna, Arjun and Bheem arrive at Magadh, disguised as Brahmins. Krishna challenges Jarasandh to defeat Bheem in Malla-Yuddha.

Duryodhan informs Shishupal that he will protect him if he ruins the Pandavas' Rajasuya. Later, Yudhishthir and Draupadi sit on the throne. To spoil their ceremony, Shishupal insults Krishna, Arjun and Bheem. As Krishna watches Shishupal complete his 100 mistakes, Yudhishthir asks him to leave.

At the Pandavas' Rajasuya, Duryodhan challenges Krishna to a fight. Vidur comes in between and informs him that if he tries to fight against the Pandavas, he will have to first face Bhishma. As part of the punishment, Yudhishthir orders Duryodhan and his associates to sacrifice their weapons, but Karna refuses.

Draupadi's remark hurts Duryodhan so much that he tries to commit suicide. He can only think of avenging his insult by humiliating the Pandavas. He apologises to Shakuni for insulting him earlier and asks Karna to attack Indraprastha.

Dhritarashtra informs Vidur that he wants to invite Draupadi, along with the Pandavas to Hastinapur for a game of dice. Vidur delivers this message to Yudhishthir. Knowing that Shakuni is plotting against the Pandavas, he advises them to decline the invitation.

While Shakuni and Duryodhan discuss their plan, the Pandavas reach Hastinapur, along with Draupadi and Kunti. On entering the palace, Sahadev feels something bad is going to happen. Meanwhile, Bhishma and Vidur wonder about Duryodhan and Shakuni's plan.

Duryodhan greets the Pandavas and invites them to begin the game. Bhishma informs all about the rules of the dice game. As part of the plan, Duryodhan manages to make all the women leave the room. What will the Kauravas and the Pandavas bet on?

Dhritarashtra decides to return the Pandavas' kingdom to them. However, Duryodhan opposes this and Shakuni suggests they should be sent on Vanvaas for twelve years and Agyatvas for one year. Dhritarashtra agrees. Before leaving, the Pandava brothers promise that when they return, there will be the biggest war in history.

Draupadi locks herself in a room. Bheem fails to break the door open. Krishna arrives at Indraprastha. He asks Draupadi to forgive the Pandavas and tells her the difference between revenge and justice. Later, Yudhishthir asks Bheem to burn his hands that sinned.

Krishna tells Yudhishthir to prepare for a war as that is the only way to get justice. As the Pandavas leave for Vanvaas, Krishna declares this war to be the beginning of a new era. At Hastinapur, Gandhari is worried about Draupadi's curse and Krishna's support to the Pandavas.

The Pandavas decide to wage a war against the Kauravas. However, to cross the Hastinapur gates, they need to go through Bhishma. Bound by his promise to Dhritarashtra, Bhishma orders the Pandavas to fight him or retreat. Will the Pandava brothers raise their weapon against Bhishma?

As the Pandavas leave to prepare for the war, Bhishma informs them that his blessings are with them but he will fight on the Kauravas' side. He also reminds them of the technique to defeat him. Meanwhile, Draupadi suggests the Pandavas take Krishna's advice on the war.

Shakuni takes Duryodhan and Dushyasan to meet Krishna and Balarama, and asks them for their support. At Dwarka, Abhimanyu showcases his warrior skills by breaking the Chakravyuha. Shakuni sees Balarama and Duryodhan fight. He goes to Krishna for help.

Kans kills Devaki's seven children. He instructs a soldier to inform him when Devaki delivers her eighth child. Lord Vishnu appears before Devaki and Vasudeva and seeks Devaki's permission to be born as her son. Devaki gives birth to her eighth child.

The prison doors open and the Yamuna makes way for Vasudeva. A seven-headed snake protects Vasudeva and the new born baby from the rain. Vasudeva gives the new born baby to his friend Nand and takes Nand's baby girl. The baby girl transforms into a goddess and tells Kans about his destiny.

The Gopis complain to Yashoda about Krishna stealing their butter and Yashoda worries about Krishna. Meanwhile, Nand frets about the taxes to be paid to Kans. They decide to relocate to Vrindavan. Krishna begins to reveal his powers.

Krishna kills Kans in a fight and rescues Vasudeva and Devaki. He informs the Pandu family that war against Duryodhan is necessary for the wellbeing of the world. Shakuni tells Duryodhan to trap Krishna during his Hastinapur visit. Vidur reaches Virat's kingdom to negotiate with the Pandavas.

Vidur and Sanjay try to convince the Pandavas to negotiate with the Kauravas. As the Pandavas decide to send Krishna for the negotiation, the Kauravas plan to capture Krishna. Krishna reaches Hastinapur and assures Gandhari that he will try to stop the war.

Duryodhan requests Krishna to stay in his palace, but Krishna chooses another place. On Dhritarashtra's requests, Krishna suggests ways to prevent the war, but Duryodhan turns them down. Will Krishna succeed in making Duryodhan realise his mistakes?
