Kurukshetra

Story

Synopsis

A combination of the epic story of the Mahabharata with contemporary social issues. It starts with a focus on a new social order, featuring three social workers, including Suvarnarekha, dedicated to eliminating idleness. The main narrative then unfolds by incorporating well-known mythological events like the Draupadi Swayamvar and the Sabha (Court) incident, progressing toward the Kurukshetra war. Throughout the film, these epic sequences are mixed with modern "social sequences" and philosophical lessons from the Bhagavad Gita in an attempt to address and provide solutions for national problems.
