Maharaj Ki Jai Ho (2020) User Reviews

Entertainment at it's best!

This was one of the most original shows I've watched in a long time. It's a comical take on a young conman Sanjay from today who gets transported by mistake to the Mahabharat times. He's mistaken as a great warrior come to save the kingdom of Hastinapur from it's enemies. The characters are exceptional. There's the blind king Dhritarashtra, who's not as helpless as we'd have thought. There's a svelte and funny Gandhari, the cunning but totally incompetent Shakuni, the cross-dressed scientist, the ridiculously evil king Suryabhan and his hilarious senapati and more. Each character is comedy gold, especially Shakuni, suryaban and the senapati. And what a perfect cast! The stories are unique and unusually large scale for a comedy. Cricket matches to settle a war, race between a rath and a car, shakuni pissing himself in fear in a hot air balloon, a court case, teleportation, cannibals, doppelgängers, dwarfs, and even a dinosaur! The show has a unique western-Indian blend which grows on you. I actually enjoyed the later episodes more and more. The show is more a sitcom than a parody which is an interesting choice given it's unique setting. It's a very well produced show which again is unusual in a comedy. Though better than most, this show has a few boring episodes as well and I've docked one star because of that; but the good episodes really make up for them. I highly recommend this show. It will leave you smiling and happy.

Watch for fun...

Classic Comedy

[pjsunilbabu · 9/10 · 7 February 2021]

This show is really a stress reliever and it has ingedient with cult classic touch with performances and dialogues. The show steals and lock you with the known characters but adding humor to that is a kind that raise questions and eye brows.

Great Fun!

Light-hearted spoof set in the Mahabharat days. Well written and executed with high production values. Only show I look forward to on TV these days :) A perfect antidote for this gloomy Corona period.

Fantabulous

[dudeimthatgood · 10/10 · 16 April 2020]

I recently discovered this show and I'm amazed by how good it is. So well done unlike most comedy shows made here. Some amazing writing and acting. I don't agree with my Hindu brothers here who feel the show is demeaning or insulting the Mahabharat. So far the show has carefully avoided doing so and yet created something hilariously watchable. Everyone has a choice. I choose to watch and be entertained. Peace.

Amazing show

Best show

Most entertaining show. All actors are so funny. This is best serial in India. All are complaining should watch the show first before talking.

Demeaning and Insulting

[rutujaj-48792 · 1/10 · 7 April 2020]

This series is telecasted on Star Plus. On one hand this channel showcases The epic Mahabharata and on other hand they are insulting amd humiliating The Mahabharata with the new show. I have seen the trailers and advertisements and they are so derogatory.

Good show but telecasted at bad time

[kajolnahlin · 10/10 · 19 June 2021]

Funny, entertaining. But telecasted at covid -19 pandemic. It gets few promotion & marketing. & telecast time is not good for trp. But i love maharaj ki jay ho.

Hurt religious sentiments

[sidhikatrisha · 1/10 · 18 April 2020]

They could have picked up any historical king or queens but nah they used a history of religious sentiments. Because they very welll knew hindus are very tolerant

Insulting to HINDU religion

[prayagbhakti · 1/10 · 15 April 2020]

It's insulting,demeaning & hurting religious sentiments. It portrays Mahabharata characters in an idiotic way. This serial should be stopped right now. It also includes few activities done by government and put forward as if those were useless. No one has guts to do any such thing on Islamic culture. Hindu ppl tolerance is being their own enemy.
