Hello everyone, I am old Lee, today I want to spit on an Indian TV series, a total of 267 episodes! Longer than Zhen Huan's biography.
The title of the film is Mahabharata, which has been changed from the Indian epic, this time to the 2013 version.

The story takes place in ancient India, when there were many countries in this part of India, and the largest of them, Elephant City, had 2 princes.
The Grand Prince was originally the first heir to the throne, but he was blind at birth, and the throne passed to his younger brother, the Little Prince Bandu ↓
The little prince was originally the emperor was good, and also married 2 wives, but in a hunt, the little wife had to be a deer, the little prince shot for her, and it turned out that this deer was a fairy wife!
This immortal will often transform into a deer to make love to his wife in the human world, this intimate posture does not know what to say, and the result is that before he kisses, the wife will die.
The immortal was very angry, and immediately cursed the little prince: You can't be intimate with anyone in your life! Die as soon as you make love!
The little prince was very sad after being cursed, because although he had 2 wives, he didn't have time to do anything...
Since then, the widowed wives ↑
Since the little prince felt that he could not produce children, he decided to give up the throne to the blind but able to give birth to the grand prince!
The Grand Prince can be said to be very fertile, he married a princess who had been blessed by the gods, and she could give birth to 100 sons!
Princess ↓, who can have 100 children
But even if 100 sons are born one a year, they will be born for 100 years, so the princess will be born in one go.
First a meat ball was born, and then the meat ball was divided into 100 pieces and hung in such a spooky cave ↓ Are you bats???
Then the cocoons crack and the child comes out (the picture is slightly scary)
These 100 children are called the hundred sons of the country, but in the later plot, these 100 sons have never been put together.
So what do you want to do with these 100?
After the little prince was not the king, he went to the mountains to live in seclusion, and the eldest wife learned that he was cursed, and finally made up her mind to tell him: In fact, I have also been blessed, and I can ask the gods to pray for children.
Do you rely on the gods to give birth to your babies?
In short, the eldest wife asked the gods for 5 sons ↓ known as the five sons of Pandu.
At first, the little prince gave way because he had no heirs, but now that he has, it is reasonable to say that the throne should be returned to the little prince, or the little prince's child, but the hundred sons of the country did not agree, and forced them to wander.
The fifth son of Bando was wandering, and the third son, Ajana, participated in a contest to recruit relatives and married back the princess of the banjara country, Dropoti, who is also the heroine of the play!
Who would have thought that by the time the heroine appeared, it would have been more than 80 episodes...
Droberti is not an ordinary child, her father is bent on having a son, but fortune tellers say that you can only have daughters in this life.
He did not believe in evil, and if he did not want a son, he made a deal with God, saying that he could accept the daughter that fate had arranged for him, but he had to buy one and get one free, and then give him a son.
You have children and you really care about God!
Thus Dropotti was born from the sacrificial fire.
After Arjuna married back to Dropotti, back at home, his mother was praying, and his brother said, Mom, you see what good things your brother got?
Mom didn't look back and said, "Whatever you get, your brothers will divide it equally."
Wait, Ping... divide?
Since this sentence was said by the mother in prayer, no! Yes! anti! regret! But how can people divide equally?
The five brothers had to have a wedding with DeRoporti↓
Then DeRoporti became a woman with 5 husbands.
They also set a series of rules for the 6-person marriage, such as DeRoporti can only be with one person in a year, during which the other 4 people are not allowed to enter her bedroom, and if they do, they must go out to fast;
For example, as a prince, the five sons of Bando can still marry their wives, but they cannot bring them back to the place where they lived with Dropotti, and so on.
But in the end, Arjuna broke this oath and took another princess back to the castle where they lived together. Dropotti can be said to be very miserable.
Arjuna
This TV series is magical in its plot, but it is a good drama worth pondering, and the five brothers marrying a woman together is also a reflection of the "co-wife" behavior of ancient India, which has made many profound discussions.
India is a country with a very serious idea of son preference, this drama has always called on everyone to respect women, if you are interested, you can go to see it, although it is very long, but the story is very tortuous, or quite interesting.
