Mahaburata (spelling?)

This movie was funny. It definitely belongs in the comedy section. It was a bit hard to keep track of which character was related to who since everyone was difference races. That was probably a good political move, but for a sleep-deprived high schooler, that was a not so smart move. I also wasn't very sure how the beginning connected with any of the rest of it at all. Parts of it also didn't make sense to me but that was probably just because of the different culture. I didn't understand how the lady who married the guy and tied a blindfold over her eyes could feel birth growing in her, but then she asked her servant to hit her stomach with an iron bar. And then a big black thing came out and the guy telling the story mysteriously appeared and was like put a piece of it in a jar and then you will have a thousand sons. Why would she even want 1000 sons? And then when they were fighting and the guy was like I WILL NOW MAKE YOU A PRINCE to the guy who was at the beginning. This plotline is a bit too complicated for me, I believe. But I think this will make me watch a lot more Indian movies from now on. I would actually really like to finish this movie and find out what happens since I don't get it at this point. Maybe I'll go wikipedia it and find out how the scary god/man/thing that was supposed to kill the exiled brothers managed to be defeated.
