Plot

The story starts with the Pandavas in exile with Bheema and Hidimbi's Grandson Barbareeka often called as Lord Shyam or Shyam Baba. The story based around Mahabharat, revolves around Barbareeka (later named Shyam Baba by Lord Krishna), who had a powerful astra, known as the 'Teen Baan' (three infallible arrows). This astra would've potentially overpowered any side that Barbareeka would choose to confront. The story revolves around the sacrifice Barbareeka eventually has to make for the greater good.
