==Plot==<br />
It's a dynastic struggle for the throne of [[Hastinapur]], the kingdom ruled by the [[Kuru Kingdom|Kuru]] clan. The two branches of the family that participate in the struggle are the [[Kauravas]] and the [[Pandavas]]. Although the [[Kauravas]] are the senior branch of the family, [[Duryodhan]], the eldest [[Kaurava]], is younger than [[Yudhishthira]], the eldest [[Pandav]]. The seeds of the climactic battle of [[Kurukshetra]] were laid in the boyhood days of the Kauravas and Pandavas, when [[Shakuni]] the maternal uncle of the Kauravas poisoned the mind of [[Duryodhana]]. This series ends before the Kurkshetra war actually occurs.<br />

==Casting==<br />
[[Hiten Tejwani]] was cast for the lead role of [[Karna]] in the show by Ekta Kapoor herself. Hiten has acted in several shows of Ekta Kapoor. Mrunal Jain was cast for the 2nd lead in the show. Originally the show was about to be named as “Kahaani Karna Ki” due to Vaastu compliances.<br />
<br />
Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms said that the show was titled as “Kahaani Karna ki” after Kapoor consulted a Vaastu priest. The priest said that the title has to be all “K” or the initial letter of all words should be K”. For all words beginning with “K”, it could be either Kahaani Kauravon ki or “Kahaani Karna ki”or Kahaani Krishna ki. But “Kahaani Karna Ki” looked a perfect line for Mahabharata and more realistic. This name finalised but then after several negotiations, it was named to Kahaani Hamaaray Mahabharata ki.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
Writing for Livemint, Padmaparna Ghosh wrote that "Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat is another complicated multi-character soap which has revenge, hatred jealousy and family feuds on an epic scale, which for a Mythological series sums epic disaster".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/r6v2hAbQzfCq1bm765YIRN/What-an-epic-disaster.html|title=What an epic disaster|first=Padmaparna|last=Ghosh|date=22 August 2008|website=Livemint}}</ref> Actor [[Mukesh Khanna]] stated that producer [[Ekta Kapoor]] made so 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/Mukesh-Khanna-Ekta-Kapoor-made-a-mockery-of-Mahabharata/articleshow/44856332.cms|title=Mukesh Khanna: Ekta Kapoor made a mockery of Mahabharata - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref><br />
<br />
Navya Sinha another critic wrote for Hindustan Times that "Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat is all about Six-pack abs, waxed chests, off-shoulder blouses and a scantily-clad Draupadi decked in a chiffon sari".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/tv/kahaani-ekta-ke-mahabharat-ki/story-E7IJik7vpDPOX32LxL9JHL.html|title=Kahaani Ekta Ke Mahabharat ki|date=10 July 2008|website=Hindustan Times}}</ref><br />
<br />
