The insult continued to the next generation as well. In MTVs Randamoozham it shows how Bhim been sidelined all along, from the days of education. Arjun is known only the fight with arrows where Bhim knows the arrows wrestling and much more. Reason? Arujun is brother in law to Krishn. Bhima who has killed all of the Kauravas and the glory was all given to Arjuna. Krishna is no more the hero but a local king who failed to revenge Jharasandan and uses Bhim to make the revenge. Krishn and Arjuna are the heroes of popular Mahabharata. The writer doesn't attempt to make a new Super Hero out of Bhimsen but tries to his perspective of things bringing him closer to our hearts, a unique and difficult task for any writer.
His character and talents was indeed better than both. Without Bhima Pandavas would have never won the Kurukshetra war where most of the major hurdles before and during the war was been overtaken by him. Bhim have been a shadow of Yudishtara and Arjuna. MT Vasudevan Nair found a perspective to read Bharata and guides his readers to that perspective. Mahabharata is an ocean which you can find a different sea depending on where you enter. The novel is written in malayalam, but it has translated version in English, titled Second Turn and an online version titled Bhimsen.
Mahabharata story through the eyes of Bhimsen is Randamoozham, an epic novel written by legendry writer, MT Vasudevan Nair who has won the greatest award for literature in India, the Jnanpith for the year 1997.
