This weekend, the timeless battlefield of Kurukshetra goes digital as Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh makes its grand premiere on October 25, 2025, exclusively on JioHotstar. Touted as India’s first AI-powered mythological series, the show blends ancient wisdom with modern innovation, promising a visually spectacular retelling of the great epic. The release also follows the drop of Kurukshetra: Part 2, setting the stage for a massive content face-off this weekend.
Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh is not just another adaptation it’s a technological revolution in Indian entertainment. Spanning 100 episodes, the series brings to life the emotional intensity and grandeur of the Pandavas and Kauravas’ legendary conflict through cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
From ultra-realistic battle visuals to nuanced facial detailing, the AI-driven production transforms the mythological canvas into a cinematic experience unlike anything seen before.
Vijay Subramaniam, Founder & Group CEO of Collective Artists Network, called the project a “landmark fusion of tradition and innovation.” He emphasized that the series pays homage to India’s storytelling heritage while introducing audiences to the future of visual entertainment.
For viewers who grew up hearing stories of Krishna, Arjuna, and Duryodhana, this AI-led retelling offers both nostalgia and novelty, redefining the connection between mythology and modern technology.
The internet is abuzz with anticipation. Fans are calling it a “historic moment” and praising the concept of AI-generated cinematic storytelling. Many describe it as “unreal” and “next-level creativity.”
However, some critics remain skeptical, arguing that AI should support, not replace, human creativity. While debates continue, one thing is certain Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh is all set to reshape the future of Indian digital epics and push the limits of what’s possible in AI-driven storytelling.
