Reading Notes: Mahabharata Film Part B

In this week's film, It was focused on Pandu's five sons, who were all born from gods. It was interesting to know that Kunti was given mantras, which summoned different gods all the time and was blessed with sons. I wonder what happened to her first son, who was born from the lord of sun. The story talks about her drafting him away as she thought he did not belonged to her long time ago. There were two scenes that were interesting to me, one where Kunti calls upon all the gods and gives birth to legendary sons with also helping Madri to get children as their husband was cursed. I could talk about the resemblance between the Ramayana and Mahabharata of killing sages and getting cursed for this week's story. Another scene that I found interesting was when Kauravas trick Pandavas into eating food mixed with herbs in the forest, just to kill one of them due to jealousy. It was interesting when Bheem was thrown into the river, but he finds a different world where he relates to Vasuki, who gives him magic potion to become one of the strongest on the planet. It was interesting to change things up on how he meet with Vasuki and give a different twist.
