This is a marvelous retelling of the Mahabharata through the eyes of Draupadi/Panchaali. It takes a few liberties with the story but to me it is a much more humanized version of the drama. Panchaali is a character full of passion and vigor that often leads her to make many mistakes, and she learns how history is made in the small choices.
