Mahabharat Season 22

As it is important for the Pandavas that Bhishma and Dronacharya leave the battlefield, Krishna thinks of a plan. Back at Hastinapur, Sanjay keeps updating Dhritarashtra about the war. But he is unable to predict what the Pandavas are planning.

Krishna decides to provide an opportunity for Bheem to defeat Duryodhan by engaging Bhishma and Dronacharya in the war. Arjun invites Ashwatthama to fight him, aware that he is Dronacharya's weakness. Meanwhile, Yudhishthir fights Bhishma and Bheem fights Duryodhan.

Bhishma returns to the battlefield with Yudhishthir as his hostage, while Bheem is on the verge of killing Duryodhan. Krishna tells the Pandavas to injure Bhishma and put him out of the war. How do they do that?

Bhishma regrets taking Yudhishthir hostage. Duryodhan accuses him of being a traitor as he has not killed Yudhishthir. Bhishma decides not to participate in the war as he can't kill the Pandavas, but Duryodhan reminds him of his oath. What will Bhishma do?

The Pandavas are worried as they fail to come up with a strategy to defeat Bhishma. He stays on the battlefield without food, water and sleep. The Pandavas' army decreases to two akshauhinis at the end of the seventh day, whereas the Kuru army still consists of nine akshauhinis.
