Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki was an Indian television epic series produced by Ekta Kapoor of Balaji Telefilms. Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki premiered on 9X July 7, 2008. It was a modern and westernized version of the epic Mahabharata and aired every Monday - Thursday at 9pm. It was discontinued much before its original completion date because of low TRP ratings & criticism from all quarters.

Synopsis

It tells the story of a dynastic struggle for the throne of Hastinapura, the kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan. The two branches of the family that participate in the struggle are the Kaurava and the Pandava. Although the Kaurava is the senior branch of the family, Duryodhana, the eldest Kaurava, is younger than Yudhisthira, the eldest Pandava. 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.
