With the battle in full swing Duryodana is trying to blame Bhishma for their woes. He thinks Bhishma is going easy on Arjuna and Karna even comes up to say he will lead the battle. Bhishma is famed to be a great master of battle for he is a stranger to death.
Amba is finally fulfilling her role in killing Bhishma. But it ended up being Arjuna's arrow that pierced his flesh. Bhishma gave his life to that the pandu brothers would have a better chance against him since he couldn't die.
Karna is one of the most understood characters in the entire Mahabharata. In the readings he seemd like a tough man who was ready to conquer to world. While in this film you can see the emotion that he experiences with each passing scene. You can tell he is truely hurting that he has to fight against his mother and brothers. His only excuse is that duryodanha was there for him when his mother gave him away. All he ever wanted was to have a loving mother but his upbringing filled him with such hatred. And finding out about his true heritage has complicated his life even more. He wants to return to his family but since he vowed to kill Arjuna he wants to take him out first.
