Abhimanyu :The warrior


I have been watching Mahaabhaaratha recently. This series takes you back to the good old doordarshan days when this was the only good thing on TV.
.
I had recorded may episodes on videotape .I  post this particular episode in which Abhimanyu gets killed.

Dronacharya(the warchief of the enemy camp) has shifted to a new attack strategy called ''Chakravyuha''(it has some sought of arrangement of soldiers in circles). This Chakravyuha is supposidly known that only arjuna could break it.(But that guy was busy chasing some chuthiya warriors whom he had sworn to kill that day).

Now Yudhistir(Leader of the good guys) comes to know about the Chakravyuha attack stance of the enemy. He is worried, Just then Abhimanyu steps up to the challenge like a true warrior, Abhimanyu had learnt how to break(break i mean entering the main warriors on chariots stationed in the centre of the Chakravyuha thru the soldiers on foot) the Chakravyuha when he was in his mothers womb by listening to some ppl discuss about the stratagies to break it.But sadly his mom falls a sleep and he cannot listen how to come out of a chakravyuha. Yudhistir says we will help you out and that they ll follow him inside the chakravyuha.

But, Jayadhratha(has immortality for that day due to some reason) stops the rest of pandavas. Only Abhimanyu enters the Chakravyuha. There kicks ass in one on one confrontations with all warriors. Duryodhan(bad guys leader) is pissed and orders an all out attack on abhimanyu(breaking the rules of war of 1v1 combat). Poor abhimanyu questions Dronacharya about this, he fails to realize that the ultimate rule of war is ''All is fair in war''. He fights on till death.
 







This was the best episode , I was sad but still.

actually, this war is a lot faster than i expected it would be.. check out the babruvahana video on youtube with dr.Raj. The arrows are in slow motion all the time, and more fancier
