According to me, Maya Bazaar is a very good entertainer even today. Script is based on a folklore, and it is not based on the actual events of Mahabharata. An excellent performance from NTR and other actors.
Screenplay of Maya Bazaar is very fast, and very good direction from K. V. Reddy. Storytelling, narration and songs of this film is also very good. Great Background Music from Ghantasala.
For the ones who have read the actual Mahabharata be it Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya by Madhvacharya or current recensions of Mahabharata including the BORI CE, can tell that characters are not as per the text like Balarama, who is the incarnation of Adisesha is being shown as someone who does not stick to his promises. Can't blame the makers, as the folklore itself is a pathetic tale, in fact we have to appreciate the makers for making a highly entertaining movie based on a folklore tale which is not good. Again the editing and cinematography is very good. Overall, it is one of the praiseworthy movies of Telugu Cinema, but as a genuine fan of Mahabharata literature, I am somewhat disappointed due to the reasons mentioned above.
My Rating: 7/10 Verdict: Good.
