THIS STORY HAPPENS ON THE COMMERCIAL BACKGROUND OF THE MAHABHARATA`S STORY. IN THIS METAPHOR, THE OLD HASTINAPUR EMPIRE WAS TRANSFORMED INTO `HASTINAPUR ENTERPRISES`. DHRITARASHTRA COMES IN FRONT OF US AS PRESIDENT OF THIS ENTERPRISES AND KRISHNA IS A MODERN DAY BUSINESS CONSULTANT. THE PLACE OF ‘VARANAVAT’ TAKES THE FORM OF A FAMILY HOLIDAY HOME AND ALL THIS DRAMA HAPPENS TO CLAIM THE BUSINESS CAPITAL!
MODERN-DAY READERS ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE ANCIENT EPICS IN A MODERN WAY. THIS WAS REALLY NOT AT ALL AN EASY TASK BUT DEEPAK KAUL HAS DONE IT IN A VERY INTERESTING AND FLUID LANGUAGE AND HAS SUCCEEDED IN IT.
WHILE GOING THROUGH THIS BOOK, THE READER CAN VIEW THE MAHABHARATA IN THE MYTHOLOGICAL (‘PURANA’) STORY SO WELL, THAT HE CAN EASILY FIND HOW MAHABHARATA WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THOSE DAYS. DEEPAK DID NOT ONLY TELL THE STORY OF MAHABHARATA BUT ALSO GAVE THE READER THE JOY OF EXPERIENCING THE EPIC STORY IN THIS MODERN ERA. THIS IS A STORY WHICH HAS THE POWER TO REVAMP THE IDEOLOGIES OF THE YOUTH. THIS CAN BE COUNTED AS A GREAT ENTERTAINER BOOK!
महाभारताच्या कथेला आधुनिक साज चढवत व्यावसायिक पार्श्वभूमीवर ‘कॉर्पोक्षेत्र’ ही कथा घडते. त्यामुळे जुन्या हस्तिनापूर साम्राज्याचे रूपांतर ‘हस्तिनापूर एन्टरप्रायझेस’मध्ये होते. धृतराष्ट्र हा त्याचा अध्यक्ष बनतो. कृष्ण हा आधुनिक काळातला व्यवसाय सल्लागार म्हणून सामोरा येतो. वारणावत हे स्थळ ‘फॅमिली हॉलिडे होम`चे रूप घेते आणि हे सर्व नाट्य घडते ते व्यवसायातल्या भागभांडवलावर हक्क सांगण्यासाठी! हस्तिनापूर एन्टरप्रायझेसभोवती फिरणारं हे नाट्य महाभारतातील व्यक्तिरेखांची स्वभाववैशिष्ट्यं कायम ठेवत घडतं. त्यामुळे महाभारतातील गुंतागुंत याही पुस्तकात प्रभावीपणे चित्रित झालेली दिसते.
