The political manipulation and personal grief become a strong core of Kurukshetra, and their raw intensity makes this a story of revenge that would turn a hero for the kids to let them know about the story of the Mahabharata. While the animation is competent, the overall scale is massive, and it makes sure that one realizes that animation is not just for the kids!
Rating: 4.0/5 · Kwavesandbeyond ·

The Kurukshetra animated series resonated most with me due to its emotional honesty. The creators are not glamorising war; they insist on showing us how every victory comes at a cost. Abhimanyu’s story in particular is an emotional gut punch — his bravery, his cruel fate and how it changes the whole tenor of the war. The series does more than describe battles; it tells what happens next.
