The story revolves around the archer of the [[Mahabharata]], [[Karna]] and tells the [[Mahabharata]] from his point of view. The show covers the life journey of Karna on his way to becoming a great warrior.
The story revolves around one of the best archer of the [[Mahabharata]], [[Karna]] and narrates the entire story of [[Mahabharata]] from Karna and Pandavas' birth to the eventual crowning of Karna in the Swarga. The show covers the life journey of Karna on his way to becoming a great warrior.


He was the son of [[Surya]] and [[Kunti]]. He was born to Kunti before her marriage with [[Pandu]]. Kunti thus abandoned him. He was then saved by [[Adhirath]], who was a charioteer. Karna since his childhood only decided to become an archer. He learnt archery from Lord [[Parshurama]] and lied him about his identity of being a Brahmin. But his lie was soon discovered and Parshurama cursed him.

Karna since his childhood only decided to become an archer. He learnt archery from Lord [[Parshurama]] and lied him about his identity of being a Brahmin. But his lie was soon discovered and Parshurama cursed him. Lord Parshurama said to Karna ,"I, the son of Jamadagni, curse you that you will forgot the method of calling divine astras when you need them the most."


After that [[Duryodhana]] made him the king of [[Anga]] and befriended him. Later, he along with [[Shakuni]], devised a plan to insult [[Draupadi]], wife of the [[Pandavas]]. They arranged a gambling where [[Yudhishthir]] lost all of his properties including Draupadi. Duryodhana asked Dushasan to disrobe her but failed as Lord [[Krishna]] saved her dignity. The Pandavas and Draupadi were sent for an exile of 13 years. This sowed the seeds of Mahabharata war.

[[Indra]], in disguise of a Brahmin took Karna's armour and earrings. Later, he came to know about his true identity of Kunti and Surya's son but he decided to fight for Duryodhana blaming Yudhishthir for owing Draupadi. The Mahabharata war resulted in the death of Karna, Bheeshma, Drona, and many of the [[Kauravas]]. Thus, the Pandavas won the war. Yudhishthir was made the king of [[Hastinapura]].

[[Gandhari (character)|Gandhari]] cursed Krishna for destroying Kuru Vansh. Her curse showed result after 36 years and Krishna's dynasty also got destroyed. A hunter named Jara killed Krishna mistakenly. Thus, the Pandavas decided to go to heaven where they met the Kauravas and Karna. The show ended with Krishna's blessings to everyone.

Suryaputra Karn (transl. Son of Surya, Karna) is an Indian historical epic television series, which premiered on 29 June 2015 on Sony TV. Produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary of Swastik Pictures, the series covers the life journey of Karna in the Mahabharata. The show starred Gautam Rode[1] (adult Karna), Vishesh Bansal (young Karna) and Basant Bhatt (teenage Karna) as the lead character at various stages of his life.

Premise[edit | edit source]

The story revolves around one of the best archer of the Mahabharata, Karna and narrates the entire story of Mahabharata from Karna and Pandavas' birth to the eventual crowning of Karna in the Swarga. The show covers the life journey of Karna on his way to becoming a great warrior.

He was the son of Surya and Kunti. He was born to Kunti before her marriage with Pandu. Kunti thus abandoned him. He was then saved by Adhirath, who was a charioteer. Karna since his childhood only decided to become an archer. He learnt archery from Lord Parshurama and lied him about his identity of being a Brahmin. But his lie was soon discovered and Parshurama cursed him. Lord Parshurama said to Karna ,"I, the son of Jamadagni, curse you that you will forgot the method of calling divine astras when you need them the most."

After that Duryodhana made him the king of Anga and befriended him. Later, Shakuni, devised a plan to insult Draupadi, wife of the Pandavas. They arranged a gambling where Yudhishthir lost all of his properties including Draupadi. Duryodhana asked Dushasan to disrobe her but failed as Lord Krishna saved her dignity. The Pandavas and Draupadi were sent for an exile of 13 years. This sowed the seeds of Mahabharata war.

Indra, in disguise of a Brahmin took Karna's armour and earrings. Later, he learned his true identity of Kunti and Surya's son but he decided to fight for Duryodhana blaming Yudhishthir for owing Draupadi. The Mahabharata war resulted in the death of Karna, Bheeshma, Drona, and many of the Kauravas. Thus, the Pandavas won the war. Yudhishthir was made the king of Hastinapura.

Gandhari cursed Krishna for destroying Kuru Vansh. Her curse showed result after 36 years and Krishna's dynasty also got destroyed. A hunter named Jara killed Krishna mistakenly. Thus, the Pandavas decided to go to heaven where they met the Kauravas and Karna. The show ended with Krishna's blessings to everyone.
