Mahabharat (1965) (Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema DVD) [DVD]

Pandu and Dhirtrashtra are two brothers who rule Hastinapur. Pandu gets
married to Kunti, who conceives five sons and names them Yudhister, Bhimsen,
Arjun, Nakul and Sahdev, while Dhirtrashtra, who is blind, gets married to
Gandhari, and gives birth to a 100 sons, including Duryodhan and Dushasan.
Gandhari's brother, Shakuni, also resides with them. After Pandu passes away,
Dhirtrashtra decides to bequeath the empire to Yudhister much to the chagrin
of Duryodhan, who plots with Shakuni to kill them in a palace made of wax, but
the brothers and Kunti manage to escape and live incognito in a forest where
Bhimsem meets with, Hidimba, slays her demon brother, Hidimb, gets married to
her and sires a son, an illusionist, Ghatotkach. The brothers do reveal their
identity when Arjun wins a competition at Panchal to wed Draupadi defeating
Duryodhan, Dushashan, Jarasandh and others. Kunti unwittingly asks the
brothers to share Draupadi, as she had in a previous birth as Devi Maa
Parvati, prayed to Bhagwan Shri Shivji five times for a husband. Dhirtrashtra
acknowledges the enmity between the cousins and asks five brothers to re-
locate to Khandavprasth, which is subsequently transformed by Bhagwan Shri
Indra's aide, Vishwakarma, and re-named Indraprasht. Duryodhan is then
humiliated by Draupadi, who mocks him and tells him that sons of a blind man
are also blind, when he stumbles in the Maya Mahal, and he takes a vow to
humiliate her. Shakuni then invites the five brother to gamble at Hastinapur
where Yudhister ends up losing Indraprasht, his brothers, his wealth as well
as Draupadi herself. Bhagwan Shri Kishan comes to her aid when Dushashan
publicly disrobes her as no one comes to her defense. The Pandavas are then
sentenced to 13 years in exile, which will be extended by 12 years more if
they are discovered during the 13th year. The 13 years pass by, Arjun also
gets married to Subhadra and sires a son, Abhimanyu. When the Pandavs return
to claim Indraprasht, the Kauravas oppose and challenge them to a war in the
Kurkshetra. Duryodhan chooses Bhagwan Shri Kishan's armies, while Arjun
chooses Kishanji, who decides to only be the charioteer for Arjun. And it is
here that Kishanji who shows his true self to Arjun when he hesitates to kill
his relatives, cousins, and gurus. It is here that Gandhari will bless
Duryodhan with a body of steel, Kunti will go to plead with Karan to show
mercy to her five sons, and Bhagwan Shri Hanuman, the elder brother of
Bhimsen, decides to make an incognito appearance, in this epic battle between
Good and Evil.
