Netflix’s ambitious animated retelling of the Mahabharata, *Kurukshetra: Mahabharata Ka Mahayudh*, reaches its climax with Part 2, with nine engrossing episodes releasing exclusively on the platform from October 24, 2025. Based on the October 10 premiere of Part 1—which received an 8.6/10 rating on IMDb for its anime-inspired visuals and philosophical depth—the finale arrives amid Diwali celebrations, tantalizing mythology lovers with a fresh take on the ancient religion.

Conceived by Anu Sikka and directed by writer-director Ujaan Ganguly, the series—which is produced by Tipping Point with Alok Jain, Anu Sikka, and Ajit Andhare—blends Japanese anime aesthetics with Indian folklore. The great lyricist Gulzar has infused the narrative with a poetic soul, and has stirred the moral quagmire of the 18-day war. Sikka enthused: “It is a clash of duty, destiny and choices—a confluence of timeless wisdom and visual storytelling.” Netflix India’s Tanya Bami said: “A mirror of our dilemmas, as relevant as ever.”

Glimpse of the plot: Picking up from the nine episodes (days 1-9) of Part 1 following the events following Jayadratha’s slaying, Part 2 delves into the war’s brutal past. Expect Arjun’s moral storm, Karna’s indomitable bravery and Duryodhana’s ego-filled rage amid plot twists and sacrifices. The saga explores the brutal cost of religion through the eyes of 18 warriors—lesser-known stories like Abhimanyu’s heroism shine amid the chaos. As the trailer says, “Dharma ke iss yudh mein kuch sacrifice toh dena padega” (In the war of dharma, sacrifices are inevitable), it promises raw emotion, non-linear transitions and intense fights.

Voice Cast: A stellar cast brings the icons to life: Sahil Vaid as the mysterious Krishna, gentle Daan as the determined Arjun, Manoj Pandey as the powerful Bheema, Annamaya Varma as the wise Yudhishthira, Pawan Kalra as the scheming Duryodhana, Kritarth Trivedi as the tragic Karna, Neha Gargwa as the poignant Kunti, the fiery Draupadi as Nesha Chemburkar, Himanshu Rana as young Abhimanyu, Vinod Sharma as narrator Sanjay, and Sabina Malik and Anil Dutt among others.
