Reading Notes: Mahabharata Film Part C

In this week's Mahabharat's film, one main thing that stuck out to me was Karna's education. He went around looking for a guru, who would train him to be at his best but no one would agree since he was not a king. Only one sage agreed to train him thinking he was a brahmin, which was Parshuram. Karna got most of his education from Parshuram, making him one of his best student. Until one day when Parshuram was sleeping on karma and a scorpion bit him, but Karna decided not to move at all as he did not want to disturb his favorite teacher. Parshuram was upset because he knew only one of the best could have done it, and saw that Karna was not a brahmin. He felt betrayed and cursed Karna of not being able to use his powers when in need. I can talk about Karna not being able to win the final big battle as he forgets his powers. In the original story he becomes the king and I did not see the curse come alive so I was thinking about talking about the curse and stoping Karna from becoming a king. Another story that intrigued me was Bheem killing Bakasura, it was interesting concept on how Bheem ended up killing him after eating all his food. I liked that he was able to protect the sage, who gave them a place to live after escaping the fire from palace.
